Talking about past events, Mu Hong felt overwhelmed by sadness, which he couldn't hide on his face. He wanted to wipe his tears with his sleeve but was stopped by Zhu Yu, which reminded him that his previous attempt to trick the people in front of him had failed, and his clothes had been stained with a lot of irritating powder.
"You don't need to worry too much," he said somewhat sheepishly, glancing at Zhu Yu and then at the red-eyed rune behind him, "It's not something toxic, just a fine powder made from grinding dried chilies.
Apart from being eye-irritating, it won't harm the body...I really had nothing else to defend myself with, so I resorted to such a poor strategy..."
Zhu Yu nodded at him, indicating he understood the intention behind his previous actions: "So, did you escape from Mu Family Manor? What made you run away and hide here?"
