"I just don't know if Ye Ziping is among those who have died," Old Mu added afterward.
When he drifted to Quanya that year, Ye Ziping had already been exiled, and he had not seen him. He also received a letter from Funan a few days ago, informing him of the attack on the Yang Family and that Mu Shaoling was almost abducted.
Mu Shaoling's intention was for him not to tell Zi'an about this news upon encountering him in the Capital City. He also mentioned that he had sent someone to the place of exile and had investigated Mu Shaowei.
If the person Brother An had seen was indeed Ye Ziping, it meant that Ye Ziping was no longer in the place of exile, and the attack on the Yang Family might really have been his doing.
