While Yun Qingluo and her group were adrift at sea, people from other continents were becoming somewhat restless.
After receiving the message from the shadow, Xuanming immediately dispatched more people to the rescue, but they seemed to have arrived too late.
"Disappeared in the purple mist?" Xuan Ming frowned slightly upon hearing the reply.
"Did you search carefully through the fog?" Xuanming asked in a low voice.
Yingzhu replied, "Your Highness, when we arrived, the fog had already dissipated, and behind the fog was a beach with traces of a fire. That was the last place they appeared. We searched the surrounding area but found no trace of them."
They found no trace of the ship because Yun Qingluo was afraid that the enemy would discover their tracks and come after them, so she erased all traces of the ship's existence.
Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback. "The fog over the Western Hills has also disappeared?"
Yingzhu noticed the change in Xuanming's tone and, though somewhat surprised, still replied earnestly, "Yes."
"That fog disappeared completely, and several groups of forces from other continents also went there, but all returned empty-handed. Our people didn't find any clues either, and Shadow Lord left no trace at the scene," Yingzhu replied earnestly.
He was also puzzled. Since Shadow Lord had sent out a distress signal, he should have left a mark, but his people had searched the entire beach and found no trace of him.
Those fires were probably forgotten by them, or perhaps they were left behind on purpose.
Xuanming recalled an old incident, but after going through it several times in his mind, he still couldn't quite figure it out.
"Immediately send someone to invite the Grand Tutor to the palace. Tell him I have important matters to discuss. Also, have someone prepare a carriage to pick him up quickly. And tell Mu Zhi not to worry, they will return safely," Xuan Ming instructed Ying Zhu.
Yingzhu nodded and turned to leave.
At the same time, he thought to himself that His Highness was becoming more and more humane.
"What did His Highness say?" Shadow asked.
"Regarding King Sumeru, he didn't say anything, only that he wanted to bring the Grand Tutor to the palace, saying that there were important matters to discuss. I saw that His Highness was in a bit of a hurry, so you stay here and I will go to fetch the Grand Tutor myself." Yingzhu originally wanted to send someone to fetch him, but she was afraid that the message from her subordinates would not be clear, so she decided to go herself.
Shadow nodded, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
After Yingzun left, she and Yingzhu became His Highness's personal guards. However, she always stayed outside the palace. Except when Miss Mu came to bring her pastries and tea, His Highness did not allow her to enter. Yingzhu always served in the inner palace.
Yingzhu nodded and left.
Yingmei looked at the cold and desolate atmosphere of the palace and sighed.
Please make sure you return safely and smoothly.
When Yingzhu arrived at the Grand Tutor's residence, she bumped into Muzhi at the entrance.
"Is Miss Mu going out?" Yingzhu tilted her head and asked in confusion.
When Mu Zhi saw Ying Zhu, her eyes lit up. "You've come at the perfect time. I want to go to the palace to see His Highness."
Yingzhu hesitated for a moment, "Miss Mu, it's not that I don't want to take you, but His Highness has been busy with disaster relief, the affairs of the King and Queen of the Sumeru Continent, and the wedding banquet. He really doesn't have the time."
Mu Zhi became anxious. "I'm not going to chat with him. I'm here because of Yun Qingluo. The whereabouts of those two are currently unknown, and the news has spread throughout the capital."
Yingzhu was taken aback. "How could this be? I just received the news myself. How could this be... It must be a message deliberately spread by someone. It seems that the person who spread the message is the one who is hunting them down."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhi became even more worried.
Seeing this, Yingzhu remembered His Highness's words and immediately said to Muzhi, "His Highness sent me here to escort the Grand Tutor into the palace, saying there are important matters to discuss. He also asked me to convey a message to Miss Mu, saying that the King and Queen of the Sumeru Continent will definitely return safely, so you don't need to worry. Please take good care of yourself; he cannot be distracted right now, so Miss Mu..."
The last sentence was added by Yingzhu without his permission, which was also the reason why he came in person.
Ever since the Shadow Lord sent the news of the rescue, Mu Zhi has been going to the palace every two or three days to ask Xuan Ming about the progress of the matter.
It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but she turned it into a major incident.
His Highness is now so worried about this that he can't eat or sleep.
Mu Zhi understood Ying Zhu's meaning and her expression calmed down. "I know I've caused him trouble, but Yun Qingluo was someone I invited to help, so I don't want anything to happen to her."
Yingzhu Jian Mu Zhi looked somewhat guilty, yet also felt a pang of remorse. He explained, "His Highness has never blamed Miss Mu. These are just my own words. His Highness hasn't had a proper rest lately, and summoning the Grand Tutor to the palace today is probably for other matters. Miss Mu, His Highness won't let anything happen to them, so please rest assured. By the way, many refugees have recently appeared outside the city. If Miss Mu has some free time..."
He stopped abruptly at that point.
He wanted to slap himself inwardly. How could he have said that? What if Mu Zhi went out of the city and encountered danger? Wouldn't His Highness be the one who would be worried? He really knew how to cause trouble for His Highness.
Mu Zhi shook her head. "I have already donated the money and goods. Butler Mu went in person. I am not well yet, and Father does not want me to go. Thank you for letting me know. Father is in the study. You can go directly there."
After Mu Zhi finished speaking, she walked to the other side, which was the direction of the backyard.
Yingzhu glanced in the direction Mu Zhi had left, and without wasting any more time, went straight to find the Grand Tutor.
Upon hearing the purpose of their visit, the Grand Tutor immediately followed Yingzhu.
