Ning Xiaoxian gazed blankly in the direction she departed, feeling inexplicably sorrowful. Changtian hadn't returned, Ali who had accompanied her for more than a year had already left, and even the message sent by Elder He said Tu Jin was still in seclusion at Hidden Stream.
Suddenly, she felt three cold chill and a sense of disinterest, finding little joy in wandering around such a sprawling Central Capital. The Hidden Guards observed her demeanor, noticing her lack of enthusiasm but unsure how to cheer her up. Though they possessed profound demonic power and refined cultivation, they were not adept at comforting words.
Not long after, Ning Xiaoxian returned to the inn where she was staying, having only half a bowl of cinnamon pumpkin milk porridge prepared by the innkeeper, when Qingluan hurriedly entered and whispered in her ear: "Elder, just got an important message this evening: Miss Jin Manyi from Jishi Building was discovered exposed in the wilderness this afternoon."
