The words of the eunuch made it very clear, only missing the gesture of extending his hand toward Lu Qing, palm up, waiting for his acknowledgment.
Yet Lu Qing seemed completely oblivious to the underlying implications, as if he hadn't heard the eunuch at all. He reached out to take the reins from someone nearby, swiftly mounted the horse, nudged its sides, and the horse trotted away.
Zhu Yu observed the talisman in silence, mounting the horse as well. It seemed none of the three masters and servants intended to respond to the eunuch's hints, so she remained silent, hurriedly urging her horse to follow, not daring to look back to see if the eunuch had left.
