Chapter 353: Chapter 353

Qin Ying’s eyes gradually turned icy cold.

A sudden burst of energy unleashed a gust of wind.

"This is Molan Mansion, watch yourself!"

"Could it be that fiend...?"

Amidst the wind, first came curses... then someone mentioned the fiend.

The initial curses halted abruptly.

After the wind disappeared, so did Qin Ying’s figure.

Zhuo Ning arrived in Qin Ying’s room.

"Your Highness, where should we begin?"

Originally, he was waiting for her news, but by noon, she hadn’t contacted him, so he came directly.

After all, he was short on time and needed to return to the Imperial City.

"Let’s start in the Western region!"

Qin Ying thought of the Eastern Domain but ultimately mentioned the opposite, the Western region.

"Long Da, have Changsun Tian cooperate with Mr. Zhuo!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After the two left, Qin Ying rested her chin on her hand, her upper body slumped on the table.

Since returning last night, she hadn’t slept.

Images of Chen Xuan kept playing in her mind.

Born into the Imperial Family, she never had a true friend, but since arriving at Molan Mansion...

Though he appeared as a man, it truly felt like having friends, even beyond that!

But... who would’ve thought... was all this deliberate by him?

Qin Ying genuinely wanted to go ask him immediately.

But the Princess of Great Yu, her pride wouldn’t allow her to act .

It would damage Great Yu’s reputation.

But what should she do now?

"What should I do? Mother..."

Qin Ying murmured, her gaze full of conflict, unsure of what choice to make.

She thought she had it all figured out last night.

But in the end, she softened.

"Mr. Zhuo is said to be reaching Mid-Stage Xuan Rank soon!"

Changsun Tian asked with a smile.

His eyes were full of envy; spirit cultivation was tough, and he was still just Xuan Rank. This prestige was higher even than a small Xiaohou like him.

"Almost, within a year it should be deliberate!"

Zhuo Ning had nothing to hide about this.

After all, the stronger the spirit cultivation, the more benefits he gained, and Great Yu needed spirit cultivators, needed him.

Spirit cultivation wasn’t just rare; more importantly, a vast majority in Great Yu were developed by those big forces, those powerful families.

Guarding arrays wasn’t something they would do.

So, those spirit cultivators without forces were actually more valued by Great Yu.

So don’t look at Changsun Tian being a Xiaohou, but in front of Zhuo Ning, he really might not be much.

"By the way, later when I check, you’re responsible for recording, everyone in the Western region needs a thorough search!"

"Rest assured, Xiaohou knows this!"

Zhuo Ning was somewhat overwhelmed, not due to spiritual power issues but because it was too troublesome.

The Western region was vast, with a large population.

At the current pace, it would take over a month just to search the Western region.

He didn’t have that much time either; when he left the Imperial City, he was told to return within a month.

Early in the morning, Zhuo Ning and Changsun Tian came to Qin Ying.

"Your Highness, you know well, I have important duties as well. This time I came only out of respect for you, but it’s only for a month; you know this too!"

"But I’ve misjudged Molan Mansion; just the Western region alone, if soul search is required for everyone, a month might not suffice!"

"So, what do you think...?"

Zhuo Ning was also straightforward.

"Your Highness, how about we only soul search Martial Artists from rank two to Immortal Grade, it would be much faster this way."

Changsun Tian suggested.

Initially, everyone needed soul searching to avoid missing something, and whether Ning Family people might contact ordinary folks.

Now it seemed impossible.

But Qin Ying didn’t speak, just sat quietly.

The two exchanged glances, showing different expressions.

Zhuo Ning didn’t mind; he had said everything he needed to. Even if Qin Ying didn’t agree, he would return to the Imperial City in a month.

But it was different for Changsun Tian; he truly hoped Qin Ying would agree with him.

Otherwise, if Ning Family people weren’t found, the promised quota would be gone for him.

In the end, Qin Ying agreed.

Changsun Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

In Chen Mansion’s study.

"Yesterday, they started searching the Western region!"

Qin Ke said in a deep voice.

"The Western region is so vast, so many people, it should keep them soul searching for a while!"

Even though the old man was a Xuan Rank Spirit Cultivator, the Western region easily had hundreds of thousands; relying on him alone, working day and night without rest, it wouldn’t be done without a couple of months.

In that case... time wouldn’t be enough.

It was somewhat good news.

"However, today Changsun Tian and that old man went to see the Imperial Family from Great Yu!"

Now, around Lanting Inn, he had people stationed everywhere.

Even if a fly flew out, he would know.

If he mentioned it this way, surely there was a problem.

"Disciple suspects they might change methods, but specifics are unknown for now!" Newest update provıded by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

This was merely his speculation at the moment.

But preparations still needed to be made.

"Keep an eye on them, and report any news immediately to me."

Qin Ke responded, but hesitated when about to leave the study.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Dilly-dallying is very annoying."

Qin Ke thought for a moment, then asked, "What if they find the Ning Family?"

"You think they can find them? In the Western region?"

Chen Xuan smiled vaguely at him.

"I’m aware you’re not foolish; some things just need to be understood in mind, now go!"

Chen Xuan waved him off.

Qin Ke didn’t speak further, but respectfully bowed and exited the study.

"Seems like it’s really Mistress and the two little ones!"
