Two days passed, yet Master Hao Feng still hadn't replied, which started to worry the sovereign. He said to Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun, "She normally wouldn't take this long to respond. Could something have happened?"
Jiang Yichun's face darkened, his pair of pitch-black eyes particularly glossy.
"The great elder from the Holy Hall went out on business a few days ago and seemed to have sustained some minor injuries upon returning. Once he learned of Lady Diao Mo's well-being, he sent people to escort her out of Gaochang City to join Jin Wanliang the next day," he explained.
"Do you think the great elder took people to attack Master Hao Feng? But Master Hao Feng is always careful and cautious. How could they have found her?" the sovereign frowned.
