"Your Majesty, you are unaware of something!"
Under Yun Xiao's seemingly amused gaze and Xuan Haoran's thoughtful expression, Xuan Jiuding took a deep breath. The first sentence he spoke set the tone, leaving one to wonder about the details that the King of Xuanyue Country didn't know.
However, this was precisely the answer that Xuan Haoran wanted. He could not accept that his most valued eldest son, the future King of Xuanyue Country, would do such a sordid deed. He needed a reasonable explanation, even if that explanation might not necessarily be the truth.
"Your Majesty, the Xuanyue Heavenly Mirror was indeed stolen by Yun Xiao that night. However, after I set up a Heaven and Earth Net, although I did not find the little thief, I did recover the Xuanyue Heavenly Mirror. It seems that Yun Xiao, the little thief, didn't have time to transfer it and didn't dare to carry it on his person, allowing me to find it!"
