Su Rong and Ye Guixue had their men meticulously sweep the bottom of the cliff three times but found no trace of any mechanisms or secret passages besides that cave.
Su Rong watched as the snow progressively fell heavier. What was previously a light dusting was now heavy flurries. In half a day, these snowflakes were about to blanket the entire ground below Yingzui Cliff. She said to Ye Guixue, "I still believe in the fourth prince's words."
Ye Guixue had met Yan Shen but had never deeply interacted with him. However, if Su Rong said so, he would trust that she wouldn't be wrong. Looking up from the snowy bottom of Yingzui Cliff, he asked, "Could it be that it's been too long, and they have moved it? Or maybe we looked in the wrong direction. Could it be above?"
