Last time, Xu Huo accepted Lady Lily's commission to kill that captured member of the Holy Sword Society. Although the target ultimately escaped, he managed to fulfill the task during the Sea World instance.
However, he estimated that Lady Lily probably didn't care much about the end result, since her purpose had already been achieved.
"Let's talk about it another day." Xu Huo went upstairs to the study and asked about Dr. Deng's recent situation.
Mr. Dong truthfully recounted Dr. Deng's behavior and actions since Xu Huo left.
Because Dr. Deng was still a target of the Black Epaulette investigation, he spent most of his time in the rear annex and rarely came out. The few requests he made involved asking Mr. Dong to purchase experimental supplies for him, such as instruments and books. Overall, he endured solitude exceptionally well and was quite mindful of self-preservation—he hadn't even asked to take a walk outside and had barely revealed himself.
