Since they had finished discussing the important matter, the First Elder turned to the Twelfth Elder and asked, "Twelfth Elder, how is the investigation going? Did you get any news about the Eleventh Elder?"
The Twelfth Elder shook her head and replied, "All of the people I sent to investigate this matter returned empty-handed. We can't find even a trace of the Eleventh Elder, not to mention finding him."
Hearing this, the First Elder frowned and said, "It has been a long time since the Eleventh Elder disappeared. Judging from the situation, he might have been killed."
After a moment of silence, he continued, "The position of Elder cannot be left vacant for a long time. Everyone can make a recommendation for this position, and we will vote for the new Eleventh Elder in a week.
"Is there any objection?" he asked.
Everyone shook their heads, including the Twelfth Elder. Although she was unwilling to believe that Jiang Ziyi was dead, all of the hints pointed to that outcome.
