He raised his hand and gently tidied her messy hair behind her head, his fingertips running through her soft hair, his movements rare and gentle.
His brows relaxed, and he seemed to have shed his cold and hard shell. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he chuckled.
This little girl was not on guard against him at all.
…
At the General's Mansion in Liangzhou City, Huo Yan and Yuan Zhao have been filled with anxiety ever since they returned to the city, but they still haven't found any trace of Yuan Zhizhi.
"No one has seen the eagle, and no one has seen Zhizhi..." Yuan Zhao's voice was filled with suppressed worry.
Yuan Heng and Yuan Musheng had also arrived in Liangzhou and sent their men to search everywhere, but all the spies reported back to no avail. The entire mansion seemed to be shrouded in a thick cloud of darkness.
Huo Yan stood in the house and finally decided, "I'll take some people with me and go to Xiaoyue City to explore again!"

"Your Highness, this is what Jingyang sent me from Xiaoyue City. Please take a look."
Yuan Zhao quickly took the letter and opened it, his eyes quickly scanning the words on the paper.

After reading it, the two couldn't help but look at each other, with complex emotions in their eyes that were difficult to conceal.
Yuan Heng, who was standing by, saw that the two of them looked strange and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Is there any news about Zhizhi?"
Yuan Zhao took a deep breath and slowly returned the letter to Helian Yu, his tone full of fatigue and helplessness.
