Shen Daoren was astonished to see Licheng running in their direction and at the same time, it confused him. Before he and Hu Fei could ask Licheng, he pushed the door open of the chamber and rushed in.
Hu Fei and Shen Daoren went after Licheng, but the door was closed from the inside.
Licheng slowly headed to the bedchamber, but he didn't find Yuan there. The only person he could see was Master Tao, who lay on the bed with his right leg over the knee of the left one.
"Where is Yuan?" Licheng promptly asked in a fury.
"Prince Yuan is somewhere safe, but not for long," Master Tao said and tilted his head to look at Licheng. "But not for long, Crown Prince Licheng," he smirked as he rose to sit up.
"Bring Yuan back," Licheng stated.
"I will if the Fire Descendant hands me the Phoenix plaque," Master Tao offered a deal to him.
Licheng's fists clenched and an extreme anger engulfed him, which Master Tao noticed.
