Chapter 30: Escaping Amidst the Chaos

He didn’t know the entire story, yet he was still talking so enthusiastically, about everything everyone else knew.

Xia Muqing lowered her head and hurried upstairs amidst the chaos.

She hadn’t expected the black eagle to cause such a huge commotion. It seemed like she couldn’t leave through the main entrance.

When Xia Muqing stood up, the people in the inn who saw her yesterday, frowned.

Why was this woman so familiar?

“I remember her! She is the master of the Azure Cloud Eagle.”

As soon as someone exclaimed, everyone looked at Xia Muqing, who was heading upstairs.

Xia Muqing paused before she quickened her pace.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before following her.

They didn’t dare to do anything to Xia Muqing. After all, a person who subdued the Green Cloud Eagle as her pet must be extraordinary.

Many amongst the crowd were sent by aristocratic families. Firstly, their mission was to gather information. Secondly, they hoped to recruit this mysterious expert.

Xia Muqing returned to her room and closed the door. She opened the window and took a look. There was a back door.

But it would be too conspicuous to leave with the black eagle using the back door.

Thinking of a solution, Xia Muqing quickly instructed the black eagle to fly into the air through the window. She asked the eagle to fly as high as it could, so that no one could see it.

The black eagle was capable of that. It immediately soared into the sky.

Seeing that the black eagle had disappeared, Xia Muqing was about to jump out of the window when she saw a group of people blocking the back door.

It seemed that these people could also think of what Xia Muqing had thought of.

Xia Muqing quickly closed the window.

She took out the mask from her bag and changed into the set of clothes that she had stolen from the man.

She opened the window again and entered the room next door.

“Ah!”

Huangfu You, who was bathing, saw the person who barged in. Before she could see clearly, she splashed a handful of water at the intruder.

Xia Muqing’s clothes were drenched.

She didn’t expect that the person staying in this room was actually Huangfu You.

Seeing that she still wanted to yell, Xia Muqing covered her mouth.

“It’s me, Xia Muqing.”

She stated her identity swiftly.

Only then did Huangfu You relaxed. She opened her eyes and stared as she saw the familiar mask before her.

Xia Muqing had also relinquished her grip on her.

Knock, knock, knock.

“What is it, Princess?”

The guard’s voice came from the door, and Huangfu You quickly responded.

She looked down at her body that was submerged in the water. She realized that her body had been seen by someone.

She immediately blushed and covered her chest with her hands.

Xia Muqing was speechless. Weren’t they all women? They were the same.

She turned around and told Huangfu You to quickly get dressed.

Huangfu You dressed quickly as she looked at how composed Xia Muqing was when the guards addressed her.

“You knew all along?”

Xia Muqing turned around and looked at Huangfu You. “What?”

Huangfu You bit her lip, her face still a little red. “I’m a princess.”

Xia Muqing nodded. “As a citizen, how could I not recognize the princess of my own country?”

Huangfu You lowered her head in embarrassment. “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. Father doesn’t allow me to reveal my identity outside of the palace.”

Xia Muqing only raised an eyebrow at Huangfu You’s confession and she remained mum.

She walked to the door and opened it, only to see that there were still many people gathered outside.

No one dared to knock on the door or leave. Everyone simply waited outside.

Closing the door, Xia Muqing looked at her clothes. Her clothes were already wet. She definitely couldn’t go out now.

“Sister, do you want to wear my clothes?”

Huangfu You could tell that Xia Muqing was in a dilemma. She took out a set of less luxurious clothes and handed it to Xia Muqing.

After interacting with Xia Muqing twice, Huangfu You knew that with Xia Muqing’s personality, she would definitely not be willing to wear any luxurious clothes.

The set of clothes that were considered ordinary to Huangfu You, was already ostentatious in Xia Muqing’s eyes..
