Xue Bozhen ultimately did not refuse Qin Liuxi's goodwill. His daughter had been missing for three days, and although he sent many people to look for her, no trace had been found.
He never considered these Taoist unconventional methods, but with Qin Liuxi offering help and with Lu Xun and Wen Shi vouching for her, he figured they might as well try.
Lady Xue had sneaked out, and when Xue Bozhen found out, he rushed after her. He didn't have anything belonging to his daughter on him. He hesitated for a moment, but seeing the clarity and spirit light in Qin Liuxi's eyes, he steeled himself and wrote down his daughter's birth dates.
Before the group entered the city, they temporarily spoke inside Wen Shi's carriage. As the birth dates were handed over, Xue Bozhen suddenly felt the warmth in the carriage, finding himself overly hot even while wearing a thick cloak.
He examined the carriage, even feeling the blankets inside. There was no sign of a fire being lit, so how was it so warm?
