"G-General Mo… General Mo is here!"
The room went silent.
Lin Xu's fingers tightened around her sleeves under the veil. The air around her seemed completely still.
Su Feng's calm face darkened slightly, though he said nothing.
Zu Shi and Yan Mei exchanged startled glances from their seats, while the guests began whispering louder.
"What did you just say?" she asked the maid once again, just to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
Yet the maid said the same thing, "Madame, I'm sure… outside, General Mo is here with his men; they barged in."
Hearing that, Lin Xu almost lost her balance, but Su Feng helped her stand properly.
He stared at her, though Lin Xu noticed that his expression didn't seem shocked at all.
But was he?
Before she could think more, Su Feng said, "Since General Mo is here… we can't keep him waiting. Come."
He took hold of her hands and led her outside the hall, towards the main gates where Mo Ying and his men were waiting.
