When Li Xuan last saw Hua Shenxiao, it was at Duke of Zhengdong's residence.
At the time, he attended a banquet at Luo Yan's adoptive father's home but got embroiled in machinations, found himself inside Hua Shenxiao's dwelling, and provoked the latter's fury.
The result was that one of the Seven Sages of Quanzhen was completely frozen into an ice sculpture and then was tricked by Xue Yunrou into going to Beijing.
However, after Li Xuan went to Beijing, he didn't see Hua Shenxiao for more than half a year. He only occasionally heard that the man was searching everywhere for 'Princess Xixue'.
At this time, the Liudao Division had already given up. Even Zhao Xixue's family had stopped their efforts. Only Hua Shenxiao and some of Zhao Xixue's good friends were still tirelessly seeking her whereabouts.
After receiving the letter, Li Xuan hurried out of the palace city.
