The moment Xu Yuan posed his question, he distinctly felt the atmosphere inside the carriage tighten once more.
However, this tension was no longer directed at him but stemmed from between Tianyan and Su Jinxuan.
Su Jinxuan's breathtaking eyes slightly lowered, her seductive, crystalline red lips curling into a faint, seemingly non-existent smile.
Tianyan, on the other hand, remained expressionless and silent.
A subtle, explosive tension arose between the two women as soon as Xu Yuan asked his question.
After observing carefully for a moment, Xu Yuan recognized that the conflict between the two women was not rooted in jealousy; after a brief contemplation, he continued to inquire:
"Jin Xuan, in the secret letter you sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you mentioned that this trip was for the Desert Goddess. From my observations, it seems that Lady Wan holds related information. Is that why you are heading there?"
Tianyan did not speak.
