Chapitre 768: Two Hours

The people around them instantly fell silent as they looked over with varying expressions.

The solemn-looking Mu Qinghe didn't answer Zhu Hong right away. Instead, it was Shangguan Wan who replied to him. She narrowed her eyes dangerously upon hearing the commotion over on this side. "What are you all talking about, Lieutenant Mu?"

Despite knowing that she had actually heard Zhu Hong's question and was just asking this on purpose, Mu Qinghe bowed his head slightly and said, "Mu Hongyu and the others aren't back yet, Your Highness. Do you think we should stay and wait for them for a little while to bring them back to Xi Ling with us?"

Shangguan Wan slightly widened her eyes in feigned surprise. "They aren't back yet? It's been a long time already. Don't tell me they haven't given up…"

There was no need for her to complete the sentence for everyone to guess what she was insinuating.

The crowd fell silent.
