Feng Fuce was just about to return to the palace.
However, Lei Hu arrived riding quickly on horseback.
"Marquis, things are not good!"
Feng Fuce’s cold eyes remained calm: "What happened?"
Lei Hu urgently responded: "The Princely Heir of Yan Country just entered the palace with an urgent request to see the little princess."
"It’s heard that Princess Dewan is missing, and the Princely Heir is asking the Princess for help."
"But the Princess’ companion, Qingi, felt it was of utmost importance, and thus ca to request assistance from the Xiuluo Guard. Chu Ping has already accompanied Qingi to catch up with the Princess’ carriage, and I ca to inform you, sir."
After speaking, Lei Hu looked up and found that Feng Fuce’s figure had already ridden away on a fast horse.
He was taken aback, quickly following the Xiu Luo Envoy’s troop.
At this mont, on Bai Zhi’er’s carriage.
"Brother, don’t worry, your sister has a sharp tongue. Even if she’s caught by a thief, she’ll make them furious!"
The little one stretched out a small hand, patting Yuan Zhen’s hand in reassurance.
A ruo sat by Bai Zhi’er’s side, quite excited.
She gazed at the nightti scenery outside the carriage window, feeling it was beautiful.
Yuan Zhen’s face was full of worry: "It’s all my fault. I argued with her over the incident at the teahouse that day, and Xinxin left in a huff when I ignored her repeatedly."
"However, the Servant who followed her hurriedly returned saying she was taken away by a dark shadow."
"I heard there’ve been human traffickers in town recently, and Xinxin doesn’t know martial arts; I’m really worried!"
He had already sent out all the guards he brought to search.
But he was short-handed, so he thought of asking Bai Zhi’er for help.
The little one also agreed promptly; even knowing it was to find Yuan Ruxin, she didn’t refuse.
Bai Zhi’er reassured him: "Don’t worry, brother. With here, we’ll surely find her."
Yuan Zhen asked worriedly: "Is sister going to seek help from the governnt?"
After all, he saw Bai Zhi’er only brought a palace Servant nad A ruo.
If they were to find soone, the three of them wouldn’t suffice.
Bai Zhi’er shook her head: "No need. Do you have any broken silver? Give two."
Yuan Zhen was very puzzled but still handed over two pieces of broken silver from his pocket.
Bai Zhi’er took them and rubbed them in her hand.
She closed her eyes: "Spirits of heaven and earth, all immortals please appear. Wherever the silver points, that’s where I’ll search for her!"
Finishing her words, Bai Zhi’er tossed the silver upwards.
Only to see the broken silver tumble down, forming a squiggly line.
Yuan Zhen opened his mouth, very puzzled.
"You’re... you’re using this to find soone?"
Bai Zhi’er said with a cheerful smile: "Yes, it’s very accurate. Immortal grandpas wouldn’t deceive Zhi’er."
Then, the little one lifted the curtain: "Coachman uncle, keep heading southwest!"
Yuan Zhen’s heart was pounding.
Although his sister seed reliable, this thod... really felt too absurd to him.
Yuan Zhen, heavy-hearted, gazed out the window, praying that Yuan Ruxin would be alright.
Following Bai Zhi’er’s directions to the southwest, they went directly out of the city, heading up the mountain path.
The mountain woods were intertwined, and the moon in the sky seed wrapped in a fuzzy edge, clear and cold.
Birds made unidentifiable sounds from sowhere, resonating through the valley like mournful cries.
"Princess, there’s no road ahead," the coachman stopped the carriage.
Bai Zhi’er tossed the broken silver once again.
"Hmm, we need to get off and walk now." After speaking, she confidently hopped off the carriage.
A ruo followed up excitedly.
As if with Bai Zhi’er around, there would always be sothing fun to find.
Yuan Zhen hesitated, tightly gripping his sword, and got off the carriage as well.
All around were desolate mountains with no habitation.
The night wind was chilling.
Bai Zhi’er led A ruo and Yuan Zhen, step by step, deeper into the mountain.
However, soon, the little one looked around with confused watery eyes.
"Oops, I think I’m kind of lost now."
