Han Tianci nodded slightly and followed into the inner chamber.
The shopkeeper immediately paid his respects, "I beg your pardon, the Lord of Law!"
The old Lord of Law had already given his orders, and the next Lord of Law had been decided. The shopkeeper hadn’t expected Han Tianci to come with the Jade Pendant.
Han Tianci looked at the shopkeeper and nodded slightly, "No need for formalities!"
"Thank you, Lord of Law!"
The shopkeeper had seen Han Tianci once before. At that time, Tianci was very lively and cheerful, not at all like his current cold and indifferent self.
It was as if he had grown up overnight.
"What instructions does the Lord of Law have for us?"
"The Saintess has been kidnapped. I came to inform you!"
The shopkeeper was utterly shocked.
He was all too aware of what the Saintess meant to the Moon-Watching Sect.
"When did this happen?"
The shopkeeper paused silently, "Was the Saintess carrying the Spiritual Poisonous Insect?"
"Never leaves her side!"
The Spiritual Poisonous Insect needs to drink blood, and Yun Jinnian carries it wherever she goes.
"Good, good, I will prepare immediately. Lord of Law, please wait a moment!"
Han Tianci gestured with his hand.
He sat down in a chair.
A maid served tea and then retreated.
Han Tianci had no intention of drinking tea. He sat formally and upright.
Zhengwen and Zhengwu stood guard outside the door.
In the minds of the two young servants, the master was first, and the Saintess was second. Although anxious, they still stood calmly.
Soon, the shopkeeper returned with five men behind him.
"Lord of Law, all five have taken the young Poisonous Insects. Follow them, and you will find the Spiritual Poisonous Insect!"
Han Tianci responded and stood up to walk outside.
The five men quickly attempted to follow, but Han Tianci spoke coldly, "You go to the Han Family first!"
With a collective response, the five quickly disappeared.
After Han Tianci left with Zhengwen and Zhengwu, he went directly to the Prince Rui Residence.
Chu Yu saw Han Tianci, and they exchanged glances.
Both appeared calm, without a hint of panic or fear, but their red eyes betrayed their concern.
"Have a seat, let’s carefully discuss what we should do next!"
Although they had fought and argued in the past, they both cared deeply for the same person, Yun Jinnian.
Han Tianci sat down and said, "Brother Chu, I plan to find the Spiritual Poisonous Insect first, and then I’ll look for my sister!"
"Because only the Spiritual Poisonous Insect can lead us to my sister!"
After pondering for a moment, he said, "If I am correct, Jinnian has been taken to the Great Zhou Kingdom, but there will certainly be twists and turns along the way, and I cannot and dare not pursue them. Tianci, I must keep an eye on Zhou Yunshen, so I’ll leave the task of finding the Spiritual Poisonous Insect to you!"
Han Tianci nodded, "Brother Chu, don’t worry, I will find the Spiritual Poisonous Insect quickly and then search for my sister!"
They discussed some more matters, and Han Tianci then stood up to leave.
Chu Yu stood as well, silently.
After a few steps, Han Tianci spoke quietly, "Brother Chu, if my sister comes back but..."
Han Tianci continued, "If my sister is no longer pure, would you still treat her the same?"
If in his youth, he would have minded.
But after this experience, he cared about everything else; as long as Yun Jinnian was by his side, it was enough for him.
The bright red stain truly did not represent much.
If her heart was with him, he was willing to accept her, always the same and never failing her.
Upon hearing this, Han Tianci smiled slightly, "Thank you, Brother Chu!"
Chu Yu was deeply concerned for Han Tianci.
