"Of course, don’t worry, Dabai and Xiaobai have never made a mistake."
"I hope so!"
After a pause, Ye Haoxuan added, "If, if we really find Yueyue, I can promise you one thing."
"Promise one thing?" Li Luru was a bit surprised, "Anything?"
"Not sothing that harms others or involves rebellion."
Li Luru was a bit shocked. He was giving a promise, and she knew how valuable a promise from Prince An was. With this promise, as long as the Li Family was upright, they could seek Prince An’s help with any trouble, though this promise could only be used once.
"Actually, you can start thinking about what you might need my help with now."
Hearing this, Li Luru stroked her chin in thought, then suddenly leaned forward, "Could I ask you to marry ?"
"Ahem..." Ye Haoxuan didn’t expect her to be so direct, almost choking on his own saliva. "Li Luru..."
"Stop!" Li Luru raised her hand and pouted. "Better not say anything. You’ll just go on about how I’m not even qualified to be your warm bed servant, let alone have the right to ask you to marry ."
Ye Haoxuan’s usual arrogant tone was mimicked by her about seventy to eighty percent accurately.
Ye Haoxuan felt a bit embarrassed and sowhat frustrated, letting out a cold snort.
Seeing this, Li Luru cleared her throat, "Forget it, I don’t have anything for you to help with at the mont. Besides, we haven’t found her yet. Let’s wait until we do."
"Alright, you can take your ti to think."
They headed north from Jingzhou, and when they reached Liyang County, Xiaobai ca to a stop.
"Is Yueyue in Liyang?"
"No," Li Luru quickly shook her head, "Xiaobai seems to have caught the scent of soone familiar."
"..." Ye Haoxuan didn’t know what to say.
Before the carriage had even stopped, Li Luru jumped out and followed Xiaobai.
Finally, in front of an estate, Xiaobai stopped and circled continuously in the air.
Li Luru was puzzled. The only ones who could influence Xiaobai were either herself or her master.
After so thought, she stepped up and knocked on the estate’s door.
After a while, a little girl of about five or six opened the door.
"Who are you?"
Seeing this, Li Luru leaned her head in and asked, "Little girl, are your parents ho?"
"Dad, Mom, soone is here looking for you." The little girl shouted inside when she heard this.
"Coming, who is it?"
After a mont, a middle-aged woman and a man walked out. "What can we do for you, miss?"
It was clearly a family of three. Li Luru paused for a mont, then shook her head, "Sorry, I might have the wrong place."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman imdiately slamd the door shut.
She could faintly hear the woman scolding the little girl, "Don’t open the door for strangers like that again, you might get taken away."
"I know, Mom."
Li Luru stared at the door, disappointed for quite so ti.
"What? Not soone you know?" Ye Haoxuan had followed her without her noticing.
"No," Li Luru shook her head and called out to Xiaobai.
Yet Xiaobai still lingered above the house reluctantly, and it took several calls from Li Luru before it ca down.
After they left, the estate’s door opened again, and a woman in white appeared, speaking to another woman in white, "How does she have our ssenger bird?" And not just any bird, but the two top-tier ones.
"I do not know!"
"Investigate to see if there’s any connection to us."
"Understood!"
