The area around Chen Muxue was bustling, while within the imperial palace, Lin Qing's side was in chaos.
"Where is she?! Where's Chen, such a big girl?!" Lin Qing was frantic, turning the cold palace upside down with no trace of Chen Muxue.
"How could this be possible? Wasn't she in pain all over... could she have been abducted by someone?!" The thought made Lin Qing even more anxious.
The woman holding the Fire Fox's corpse walked beside him with a relaxed pace, figuring that whether they found her or not, rushing wouldn't necessarily help; sometimes it just makes finding things even more difficult.
"Don't worry, Chen is a grown woman who can take care of herself. In this palace, aside from those Hidden Guards, you said earlier that things aren't going well on the emperor's side and more vigilance is needed. With that in mind, there aren't many who can take on Chen. Actually, there aren't many Cultivators either." The woman analyzed with ease.
