Forsaken Immortals Chapter 28 - Find Her!

Chapter 28 - Find Her!

As Bai Rouyun and Mo Chu walked back to the Yun Palace, they had contrasting expressions. Bai Rouyun was filled with happiness while Mo Chu was alert and unsure of Bai Rouyun's real ident.i.ty.

At the same time, Manager Zhou reached the upper floors; sweat was on his forehead from being worried about the whole situation. He quickly explained the situation and showed the drawing to the branch leader.

The branch leader did not have the power to contact Xue Jingyu unless it was an emergency directly, and he was contemplating whether or not this was an emergency.

The Blood Ginseng meant nothing, but this woman was problematic. Finally, the branch leader decided that it was necessary to contact the young master. After all, this was directly connected to him.

He went to a big stone basin that was placed on top of a large pedestal, similarly made from stone.

This basin was crude, not at all luxurious, as the rest of the office was, and when one looked at the office, it stood out.

Even so, this basin was the most sacred part of the office, and no one was allowed to touch it.

That was because this basin was used to contact others. He had various powders, and depending on the powder he placed in the basin, multiple people could be reached.

He took a small purse out of a brocade box and looked at it hesitatingly. When he had used this powder, there was no turning back, but upon witnessing the drawing that had been left behind, he took a deep breath and placed what seemed like a teaspoon full of the powder in the water.

The powder resembled sugar, yet the moment it came into contact with the water within the basin, the previously clear water started turning murky.

Moments after a handsome young man was seen. There was some impatience between his eyebrows as he looked at the man on the other side of the water.

"What is it?" he asked, his att.i.tude rather bad.

"My Lord, a woman appeared at our store today. She claimed that she knew you and that you would have to show her respect if you met. After that, she drew a drawing which makes us confused, and we had no other option than to contact you."

The branch head was so scared that he said everything in one breath, not daring to withhold any information.

Hearing his words, Xue Jingyu also frowned. A woman that he had to give respect to? In such a low-grade Empire?

"What was the drawing?" he could not help but ask puzzled, and when he saw the drawing that the Branch Head held up, the sound of a cup being shattered reverberated across the water image.

"Where... Where is she now?" Xue Jingyu was shocked, and he did nothing to hide his surprise.

"She came to get some items before leaving. She was likely using a face mask, and we did not get her name."

"Is she a resident of your Empire?" Xue Jingyu was adamant about getting every piece of information that he could. If this was indeed Sister Fox, then he would be beyond happy. Sister Fox was his best, and only, real friend!

He had been locked in closed-door cultivation during her pursuit and knew nothing of it. When he came out, she was already dead, and he was using his powers to slowly kill everyone who had a hand in her death. Unfortunately, he could not do so upfront, and his old man did not agree to his antics.

But her corpse was never found. He had always hoped that she had survived, and this drawing made it seem as if she had. But was it just a coincidence? He had to figure it out.

"You can use whatever clearance level you want, find out where she came from and who she is."

The branch leader was shocked. He was not usually allowed to interact with the information leaders of s.h.i.+tian Tower, nor could he contact the a.s.sa.s.sins. Still, now it seemed that he could contact them all for the sake of finding out her ident.i.ty.

"I will not let you down," the branch leader said submissively, and he was already ecstatic as he was looking forward to giving his master news.

The water slowly turned murky once more before it became clear and without the slightest ripple.

The branch leader did not hesitate to contact the information network of the s.h.i.+tian Tower.

He then made them keep an eye out for the woman, and numerous people were sent out to look for her, but it was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth.

No matter how much they searched, they could not find even the slightest trace of her, or her guard.

Unbeknown to them, she had long since returned to the Yun Palace, feeling immensely proud of herself.

While she returned to the bedroom to sort through her loot from the day, Mo Chu went to report to Li Moyun.

Li Moyun was in a meeting and was busy discussing with a few of his men about a threat that had popped up towards his Eternal Shadow Palace, so Mo Chu patiently waited outside the study. At the same time, he thought through everything that had happened that day, and he was both in awe and high alert whenever he thought of Bai Rouyun. Just who was she?

By now, he was confident that she was not the dumb, deaf, and mute woman that had been initially married to their Lord. But it seemed that their Lord was aware of this, and still allowed her around him. How could this be?
