"Here's the box you wanted, buried in the empty tomb. I brought it back for you."
Mo Hua glanced at the box, saw that the seal on the outside was untouched, obviously never opened, checked it again to make sure there were no other issues, and only then started to open the box.
Elder Xun Ziyou hadn't left either, and was staring at Mo Hua as he opened the box.
He wasn't interested in what was actually in the box, he was just worried that there might be some traps hidden inside that would harm Mo Hua.
This box was brought into Taixu Gate by him; if there were any tricks inside that ended up hurting Mo Hua, all the blame would fall squarely on him.
Mo Hua didn't try to hide anything from Elder Xun either.
There's got to be some sense of honor in how you handle things.
Elder Xun took the risk for him and brought the box back, so naturally, he couldn't just let him get the short end of the stick.
