Moments later, Feng Fuce stood up.

"Something might have happened to Chu Ping."

Zhi’er was shocked: "What happened?"

Feng Fuce pursed his lips: "Chu Ping and Lei Hu are my trusted subordinates."

"So I assigned demons to follow them."

"The purpose is to help them escape calamities in critical moments."

"I just lost the sense of Chu Ping’s demon, it might be dead."

"If it is dead, it means Chu Ping encountered something dangerous and the demon saved him."

"But if Chu Ping encounters danger again, he will certainly meet his end."

Zhi’er hurriedly said: "Then we must find him quickly!"

However, as they left the palace, they found Qingmei, who was supposed to be resting, still standing at the door of Ruizhu Palace.

Zhi’er was somewhat surprised: "Sister Qingmei, why haven’t you gone to rest yet?"

Qingmei turned around, her eyes already red and swollen from crying.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head saying: "I don’t know why, but my heart is restless today."

"Chu Ping never breaks a promise. I was thinking maybe he would come soon, so I waited."

"Princess and Marquis, where are you planning to go?" Qingmei saw that Zhi’er was already dressed and ready.

Zhi’er didn’t know how to tell Qingmei that something might have happened to Chu Ping.

She looked at Feng Fuce: "Brother Fu Ce, can we bring Sister Qingmei along?"

Feng Fuce looked at Zhi’er’s round, dark eyes, how could he refuse?

He said to Qingmei: "You can come along, but do not act on your own."

Qingmei was startled.

Could it be that Chu Ping was in trouble?

She quickly nodded: "I will certainly follow instructions."

So, Feng Fuce took Zhi’er and Qingmei back to the Xiuluo Guard, summoning Lei Hu and the Xiu Luo Envoys.

Through inquiry.

Feng Fuce learned that Chu Ping went out to give silver to Guoguo.

Lei Hu said: "Guoguo received a letter from his family a few days ago, seemingly from his father."

"Not sure what the letter said, but Guoguo was gloomy. Chu Ping asked a few questions, and Guoguo said it was because he had no money and didn’t want to go home."

"However, I heard Guoguo’s relatives have already come to the Capital, so Guoguo went to see them today."

"When Chu Ping heard about this, he followed Guoguo, saying he was worried Guoguo didn’t have money on him and would be looked down upon by his family."

"But after they left, neither of them returned."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Feng Fuce’s dark eyes.

He had been too busy recently to notice Guoguo’s changes.

At this point, Feng Fuce directly delineated the area and had the Xiu Luo Envoys ride out first.

The place where the demon disappeared is where something happened to Chu Ping.

Black iron cavalry galloped forward in the dark night.

Considering Zhi’er, Feng Fuce rode the carriage with her.

Qingmei sat with them.

On the road, Zhi’er noticed Qingmei’s hands were trembling.

Perhaps it was because it was her first time witnessing such a grand maneuver.

Qingmei felt that if the Xiu Luo Envoys were dispatched almost entirely, something major must have happened.

What indeed happened to Chu Ping...

She felt a growing unease.

In her heart, Qingmei prayed for Chu Ping’s safety.

She knew the Kunshan Goddess was very efficacious, so she kept chanting her name.

Zhi’er, sitting beside her, listened to Qingmei mentally calling out the name of the Goddess repeatedly.

She silently placed her hand on the back of Qingmei’s hand.

"Sister Qingmei, don’t worry, Brother Chu Ping will be alright."

God will surely ensure his safety.
