Watching the smoke enveloping Fenglin Inn.
"Where are they!"
Empress Feng was furious.
President Mu was dead, and his granddaughter was the last hope.
The formula for Dragon Bait, she had to get it!
"Your Majesty, the inn suddenly caught fire at midnight, and in the blink of an eye, the people... were gone."
The Hidden Guards watched all night, not knowing that around dawn, a fire broke out.
"Search, she’s just a young girl, she can’t have gone far, search well for !"
Empress Feng gritted her teeth, as long as she was still in the city, she could be found.
But at this mont, Mu Jin was no longer in the city.
As dawn was breaking.
Xin Lin and Mu Jin had avoided the Hidden Guards’ pursuit and arrived at Black Water Lake.
While Empress Feng and her people were conducting a thorough search in the city, Black Water Lake was actually safer.
After learning about President Mu’s fate from Gui Hu, Xin Lin could only bring Mu Jin to "see" President Mu for the last ti.
She felt very guilty, and remained silent the whole way.
Mu Jin seed to have sensed sothing too, and kept looking for opportunities to ask Xin Lin along the way.
"Xin Lin, where are you taking ? Where’s my grandfather?"
Mu Jin’s face still had so dust on it, and her bright eyes searched all around.
The vast lake before her was both wide and silent.
"President Mu, he..."
Xin Lin sighed.
"It’s impossible, impossible, grandfather, grandfather!"
Mu Jin’s expression was agitated as she faced the vast Black Water Lake.
When Xin Lin told her that President Mu had t with a mishap, Mu Jin was full of disbelief, until she saw President Mu’s clothes floating on the lake surface, she went mad and rushed toward Black Water Lake.
But as soon as she got close, ripples started in the lake.
In Black Water Lake, the water splashed vigorously, and beneath the surface, several fierce fish leapt out.
Overnight, these vicious fish had doubled in size.
Xin Lin had already learned from the ghost soldiers that these fish were likely hatched from Rainbow Dragon Trout eggs.
They had already devoured several Hidden Guards, and they carried the Ice Horned Dragon’s bloodline; once they entered Black Water Lake, they might beco aquatic dragons.
With just Xin Lin and Mu Jin, it was absolutely impossible to deal with those vicious fish.
"Mu Jin, calm down. President Mu is gone, I’m very sorry... if only I had known earlier..."
Xin Lin’s nose also stung with grief.
President Mu was a kind elder.
She hadn’t expected that in just one night, such a huge change would occur.
"Grandfather... tell , who killed my grandfather. He wouldn’t have taken his own life, he promised he would watch grow up, watch start my own family and career. Grandfather..."
Mu Jin was pulled back by Xin Lin, crying uncontrollably.
"I also don’t know who did it, but President Mu must have had no choice but to resort to this strategy."
A sense of helplessness surged.
Although Xin Lin suspected it was orchestrated by the Feng Queen’s Faction, she had no conclusive evidence.
The ghost soldiers only saw a woman resembling Empress Feng entering the inn.
"Grandfather must have known, he must have known all along."
Mu Jin collapsed on the ground; after crying for a while, she suddenly thought of sothing and took out a letter from her person.
"This is what grandfather gave a few days ago. He told not to open it, and to only open it after he passed away."
Mu Jin had found the letter unlucky and hadn’t opened it, but she didn’t expect this day to co so soon.
