"What's wrong, Brother Sinin?" Fourth Miss Zhao asked, puzzled.
"The Griffin Egg was actually a treasure from Zhengying Academy's vault. It was discarded because it was determined to have impure bloodlines and believed incapable of hatching a Griffin. This time, I took it out without anyone noticing. If it hadn't hatched, it wouldn't matter—no one would remember or care. But who knew it would actually hatch a Griffin?
Griffin Eggs aren't just found anywhere. I let slip its origins in a moment of pride, and now this will surely get back to Zhengying Academy. When they investigate, how will I explain myself to the academy?" Uncle Zhao said with teary eyes.
Thinking about the severe consequences, he almost wished to slap himself hard: Look what your pride has brought, spilling secrets. Now what will you do when the truth comes out?
"What should we do?" Everyone was stunned and then turned to Zhao Sinin.
