Shen Muxuan calmly folded the towel and wrapped the silver needles inside before putting it away. She quickly dealt with the bloodstains on her face, which, although left faint marks, were not serious compared to the face that had been disfigured before. Shen Muxuan did not publicize the incident and stayed in her room after washing up.
At noon, she took the elevator to the top floor. The guard at the door informed the general, and Shen Muxuan was quickly allowed in. The general looked as if he had slept well, with a clear and refreshed face, and was exercising by the window.
"I thought you were coming after lunch. Why are you here so early?" The general asked.
"I thought if there was anything urgent that the general needed to tell me, I could go and take care of it early," Shen Muxuan replied.
The general smiled and said, "There's nothing urgent. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so there's no rush to give you a mission."
