“Master, we just received news that Ouyang Hao has returned to the capital alone, and Ouyang Zixin did not accompany him.”
What a slap in the face! What else could this be? Nangong Tuo was just about to flaunt some information about Ouyang Hao when Yun Tianmo's shadow guard stepped into the study without any regard for being an outsider and directly revealed the news.
Since when did Yun Tianmo's shadow guards act so openly?
It must be intentional! It definitely has to be on purpose!
Nangong Tuo was so furious he wanted to rush over and strangle that oblivious shadow guard. But as angry as he was, he couldn't bring himself to fight with a shadow guard.
Was he afraid he couldn't win? Nonsense, he was a prince; fighting with a shadow guard would be undignified and disrespectful to royal authority.
“Hmm, Ouyang Zixin didn’t come back with him? How come I didn’t know?” Who did Nangong Tuo think he was? Would he really hang himself on one tree? He quickly found a new focus and successfully shifted his attention.
“Sending a shadow guard to you…”
“Sure, sure, your shadow guards are so useful!” What a joke; it was said that the shadow guards around Yun Tianmo were hundreds of times stronger than ordinary guards. If one were sent to him, even just one, wow, just thinking about it made him drool.
“Do you dare to ask for one?” He gestured for the shadow guard to come forward. Yun Tianmo was not stingy; on the contrary, he was very generous, but his generosity was something most people couldn’t handle.
In the study, Nangong Tuo stood closest to the door, facing away from it. Suddenly, he felt the door open and close again, and a chill crept up his spine. Mechanically turning his head, he saw a row of shadow guards lined up, staring at him as if he were a dead man.
Daring to ask for a shadow guard? They couldn’t defy Master’s orders, but they looked down on Nangong Tuo. What was an Exiled Nation prince? If he dared to ask again for any of the shadow guards, once he left this estate, they would ensure he met his end.
“Yun… Yun… Tianmo…” He swallowed hard; these shadow guards were terrifying. Just being stared at like that for a moment made him wonder if he might lose his life.
Forget it, forget it!
Struggling to shake his hand at Yun Tianmo, Nangong Tuo vowed never to covet Yun Tianmo's shadow guards again. No, he wouldn’t even covet anything else. He quickly wanted them to leave; otherwise, Nangong Tuo feared he might end up sitting on the ground.
Phew… It really wasn’t Nangong Tuo’s fault; every one of Yun Tianmo's shadow guards was ruthless and lethal. A mere prince couldn’t intimidate them at all.
"Since you don't want the Shadow Guard anymore, I already know about Ouyang Hao. Are you not leaving?" Are you just waiting here for a meal?
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving. This Prince came to inform you that the palace banquet is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. That's all, I'm off." Since the Shadow Guard left this study, Nangong Tuo has been holding his chest with one hand, thinking that he must have a cup of calming tea when he gets back.
Tea, yes, tea! Yun Tianmo has been tormenting himself like this and didn't even serve himself a cup of tea. But now that he has already left the estate, is he really going to go back just for a cup of tea to argue with him?
Nangong Tuo naturally did not go back; he only cursed at the entrance of the estate for a while, completely disregarding royal decorum, before riding away.
"Did you find out?" This time Nangong Tuo truly misunderstood Yun Tianmo. It wasn't that Yun Tianmo was deliberately tormenting him or intentionally not serving him tea; it was simply that news about Ouyang Hao finally had some leads, and there was no time to attend to him. Not immediately kicking him out of the estate was already quite generous.
"Ouyang Hao left the city and slept all the way without stopping. After reaching Transmission Village, we lost track of them. The villagers showed no signs of anything unusual; only an old woman died that day. Ouyang Hao reappeared at the border of Exiled Nation, only a few hundred miles from Dream Nation. That place is desolate and uninhabited; when our people discovered it, Ouyang Hao had already erased all traces. We found nothing and do not know where he came from."
Disappearing from Transmission Village and then reappearing hundreds of miles away after half a month—given Ouyang Hao's cultivation level, achieving this isn't difficult. But what's challenging is that there were guards, maids, and that completely untrained Ouyang Zixin, all of whom also vanished simultaneously. What could be happening that he doesn't know about?
Could there be some secret in Transmission Village?
"Knock knock knock..." Yun Tianmo fell into deep thought, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the desk.
The report has been delivered; the Shadow Guard has withdrawn. He couldn't help with what comes next. The Shadow Guard may have high combat power, but their intelligence...
Ouyang Hao appeared alone at the border of Exiled Nation, while the guards, maids, and Ouyang Zixin were nowhere to be found. Where did they go? Did Ouyang Hao deliberately expose himself to prevent anyone from discovering their true whereabouts?
No one can appear or disappear out of thin air unless...
A formation!
"Knock." Yun Tianmo struck the desk heavily, realizing that someone in Exiled Nation could set up a teleportation array. Could top experts from Yuhai Continent have appeared in Exiled Nation?
Ouyang Hao, truly not simple.
"Husband, you're back! Was there any danger on your way?" Madam Ouyang had received news from Ouyang Hao early on and had been waiting in the Flower Hall since morning. Finally, as evening approached, she welcomed him home.
"Madam, rest assured, the route you told me is secretive, and I know where the dangers lie." As they hurried along, creating false impressions along the way, Ouyang Hao was extremely thirsty. Unable to withstand Madam's anxiety, he casually drank a few sips of tea and patiently recounted his task of escorting her daughter.
After hearing this, Madam Ouyang finally felt at ease. Looking at Ouyang Hao's weary appearance, she realized that she had been so focused on her daughter that she had overlooked him. Her fair face flushed slightly as she quickly ordered the servants to bring water and personally wiped Ouyang Hao's face and hands. She even went to the small kitchen to prepare his dinner.
Watching Madam Ouyang busying herself, Ouyang Hao had no time to feel jealous about her daughter; he smiled widely.
With her husband back, Madam Ouyang gradually got used to the days without her daughter. The couple soon returned to their happy little life together, but in the quiet of the night, when they talked about their daughter, they were filled with longing.
"Are you sure this is our last food?" Looking at the small bowl of white rice in front of her, Ouyang Zixin asked three times, still not convinced.
"Are you really sure? Sure? Sure?"
Important matters should be repeated three times.
"Sure! Sure! Sure!" The young lady insisted; important matters must be stated three times.
"Old Friend... where are you? Old Friend..." Ouyang Zixin was on the verge of tears; could it be that she was really going to starve to death here?
After struggling to live once more, was this really the ending—to die of hunger?
"Old Friend..."
