Ashi Liren saw Fu Yan'er's grave dug up and the coffin empty; Fu Yan'er's "corpse" had vanished into thin air.
Suo Lun guessed correctly; Fu Yan'er was not truly dead. Lord Ashi Luo had merely made her ingest a certain drug to feign death, allowing Ashi Liren to transport her outside the estate for burial, then he sent someone to steal away with Fu Yan'er and revive her.
Though almost two hours behind, Ashi Liren did not give up and began to follow the trail.
The people of Ashi Luo must have left tracks when they stole away with Fu Yan'er's "body."
But once inside Rou Ran City, the tracks disappeared.
Ashi Liren continued the chase by following the very faint scent of energy.
However, upon reaching a market, even the faintest scent of energy had vanished.
With Ashi Luo's resourceful subordinates, disappearing without a trace was effortless. Concealing a person within the vast grounds of Rou Ran City was even easier.
