The chaos in Marquis Wan'an Residence subsided quickly once Nangong Xin returned. At her command, everyone in the residence regained orderliness.
Yet there was confusion in everyone's heart.
With the Marquis deceased, did the Nangong Family still have a future? This was the question weighing on everyone's mind.
After they placed Nangong Yin in the coffin, Nangong Xin issued an order, "By my command, apprehend the murderer of the Marquis. Show no mercy."
At her command, the Nangong's allies within the Capital City sprung into action, tracing the murderers led by Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan, having achieved his goal of killing Nangong Yin, quickly escaped the city with his accomplices. Yet they did not get very far before they were intercepted by men from the Dawei kingdom.
