The atmosphere below the abyss was quite harmonious, but it was a different story inside Lin Yuan City.
Shen Yunhao has disappeared!
To be precise, Fairy Ning's husband has disappeared!
And they've been missing for two days already...
After Shen Yunhao was taken away by Master Ning that day, he did not return all night, and no one in the huge Shen mansion noticed.
The following evening, Master Ning came to the door again to scold Shen Yunhao for not attending classes at the academy.
Upon inquiry, it was discovered that Shen Yunhao had been missing for a full day and night.
The Shen family immediately sent people to the academy, only to be dumbfounded when they learned that Shen Yunhao had already left the previous night.
Then they asked around at all the places Shen Yunhao frequented and among his "friends," but still couldn't find him. In the end, they had no choice but to report him to the authorities.
To the Shen family's surprise, after the young master's disappearance was reported to the government, it directly alarmed Zhao Qingyuan, the city lord of Linyuan City, who personally ordered an investigation to find Shen Yunhao's whereabouts as soon as possible.
Even Shen Yunhao himself probably never imagined that he, a nobody, could cause such a huge stir.
It should be noted that this city lord has an impressive background in the immortal realm; otherwise, he would not be able to hold the position of the top leader of Lin Yuan City.
At this moment, in the city lord's mansion, a burly middle-aged man, exuding authority without anger, ordered a young man in a constable's uniform below him: "All cases in the yamen are to be suspended. All constables, immediately begin the investigation. You must find out the whereabouts of the young master of the Shen family as soon as possible! There must be no delay!"
"This..." The young man clasped his hands in a fist salute, his face hesitant. "Lord City Lord, isn't it inappropriate to send all our manpower to search for one person? This might paralyze certain officials within the city..."
"Just do as I say. You have three days to find out the whereabouts of the young master of the Shen family, or I will hold you accountable!"
"yes……"
The man looked distressed, but he had no choice but to accept the order and step back.
Only after the young constable left did an elderly man with white hair emerge from behind the screen.
City Lord Zhao Qingyuan immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Third Master! I have sent everyone to investigate. As long as the person is still in Lin Yuan City, we will find them even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!"
The white-haired old man said angrily, "Even if you're not in Lin Yuan City, you must find clues for me, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Fairy Ning, and neither of us will have a good future..."
"Yes...yes..."
The once imposing Lord of Lin Yuan City was now so humble in front of this old man that he couldn't even lift his head.
"But... I heard that after Fairy Ning got married, she abandoned that boy. Isn't it a bit of an overreaction for us to make such a big fuss?"
"Alas—" The old man sighed, "With Fairy Ning's current status, how difficult it is for you mortals to understand how precious a favor is? If that little child were truly insignificant, why would Fairy Ning personally write a letter to ask me to come out of the mountains and guide him in his cultivation?"
"It's a pity that I'm only two days late and I've already encountered this mess. I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have! Now I haven't gained any favors, and I've lost the person instead. What am I going to do when Fairy Ning comes out of seclusion and holds me accountable!"
Zhao Qingyuan pondered for a moment, then asked with a look of surprise and doubt, "Third Master, that Fairy Ning has been cultivating for less than ten years, yet her cultivation is higher than yours? How can she make you so wary!"
"I have told you many times, young cultivators must not only look at cultivation level!"
The white-haired old man's gaze was deep, and his face was full of solemnity: "Geniuses are not scary... but geniuses who grow up in the Guanghan Palace must not be befriended! I can assert that Ning Yuyao's future achievements will be no less than those of her master, Qingyou Palace Master Nie Qingshuang!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyuan could only gasp, his head buzzing.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Where on earth has that brat from the Shen family gone...?"
...
"Achoo!"
Shen Yunhao suddenly sneezed.
The white dragon behind him noticed the commotion and asked, "Are you alright? This place is located on the banks of the Ming River, and the air is very cold. I'm afraid it's hard for a mortal like you to withstand it..."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm always in good health! Someone must have been thinking of me just now...hehe..."
After spending some time together, Shen Yunhao had become accustomed to seeing the little white dragon as a peer, and their conversations became increasingly relaxed, no longer as restrained as before.
Especially that one "Sister Li'er" really brought the two of them closer.
Despite my boastful words, I have to admit that after staying here for a while, I do feel a bit chilly.
So Shen Yunhao leaned against the dragon's body and squatted down, wanting to get some warmth from the little white dragon.
Unfortunately... the dragon scales were ice-cold, sealing all the heat inside, so that no one outside could feel it.
Bai Long glanced at him, probably guessing that Shen Yunhao was putting on a brave face, and said softly, "You can come forward a little."
"Step forward?"
Shen Yunhao turned around and saw the soft mane on the white dragon's neck, with a faint purple halo flowing over it. He immediately understood the little white dragon's intention.
That must be the warmest place.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yunhao didn't dwell on it and slowly moved his body over.
Since no one seems to find it offensive, why are you being so coy?
The white dragon remained lying motionless on the ground, seemingly still quite badly injured: "You just said you were ambushed and ended up here. It's unlikely that someone would send you alive to the bottom of this abyss..."
“I don’t know much about this either…” Shen Yunhao thought for a moment and said, “However, the little clam spirit told me that he pulled me out of the river, which means that no matter who threw me into the Ming River, their original intention was… to kill me.”
