Qing Tong initially had some doubts and wanted to ask, at least to know how Mo Liancheng ended up fighting with the City Lord at Jueyan Mountain, and for what reason? But in the end, he held back and did not inquire further. Matters concerning the City Lord were not for subordinates to casually question.
Turning around, he left without looking back.
...
The prison cell returned to silence.
The servant who came with Qing Tong quietly laid out the warm meal and a pot of wine. On the table, there was also a porcelain bottle containing an elixir meant for Mo Liancheng's healing. To win someone over, at least a bit of inducement is needed. This was called using a two-pronged approach, or in the eyes of those in power, it was wielding both kindness and authority.
Then, the servant exited.
The door of the cell was locked again.
Mo Liancheng did not touch the food and drink on the table.
