"The Lin Family... you mean the one that deals in mining and furs?"
Xiao Tiannan mused for a moment, his fingers tapping gently on the armrest of his rosewood chair as he slowly asked.
"The very same."
Elder Fang Yuan replied.
"I've heard the Lin Family has dealings with several merchant guilds in Celestial Wind City. They might have property here, or a secret hideout."
Xiao Tiannan nodded, his expression turning solemn.
"In that case, we certainly shouldn't delay. Nephew, rest assured, my Xiao Family has some influence in Celestial Wind City. I will give the order at once to mobilize our people and conduct a full-scale search for these six."
He spoke decisively, without a hint of hesitation. The reason for his immediate cooperation was, of course, the potential Fang Han had displayed.
"Thank you, Uncle Xiao!"
"Thank you, Patriarch Xiao."
Fang Han and Elder Fang Yuan rose to their feet in unison, cupping their fists in a gesture of formal thanks.
