Chu Yuxiao sighed deeply and embraced her tightly into his arms.
He really wanted to tell her that she must not go back, no matter what.
However, it was something neither he nor she could control...
He felt anxious and worried, but he didn't want to let himself fall into fear every day.
Knowing her origins, he could do nothing for the moment but try to stay with her as much as possible, cherishing every moment he had with her.
If she truly left, he would find every possible way to bring her back...
No one could separate them...
...
That night, after Chu Yuxiao had lulled Su Yan to sleep, he left the State Preceptor's Mansion.
The Capital City was vast, and he had to hasten his search for the Earth Pearl.
He first visited the homes of several high officials and searched, but found no trace of the Earth Pearl.
He then searched the homes of some wealthy merchants, still to no avail.
In one night, he had scoured nearly a tenth of the Capital City.
