A few days passed by without anything major happening. Sheng Tian stayed in his courtyard during this time, trying to look through as much of the jade slip which contained the Xia Empire's knowledge within as he could before it was gone.
A servant of the Intoxicating Flower Sect came 2 times to deliver the news, that they had not been able to find a trace of Heaven's Veil at all. It was like such a person didn't even exist, for no one had seen him enter or leave the city.
This led to Hua Zhi Ren concluding that the Second Prince was helping conceal the man, and may try to use him as a factor to sway the crown his way.
In reality, Xia Jian does not have the will, intent, and mind to do something like that. However, Sheng Tian acted like this might very well be the case, and that he would keep an eye on the prince.
