Chen Lin naturally knew where Beauty Fu had gone.
If she had left the city at a time like this, she could only have gone to search for the True Yang Treasure. But he still needed a Sun Stone, so he took the opportunity to send Yaoning to demand one from the Zhou Family.
She could verify the situation at the same time.
That would prevent an embarrassing misunderstanding if Beauty Fu had not gone after the treasure.
Two hours later.
Just as Chen Lin began to suspect something had gone wrong, Yaoning finally returned, but her expression was grim.
"What happened?"
The sight made Chen Lin's heart sink.
"Nothing. Xing Henshui captured Beauty's older brother and extracted his Natal Crow. That bastard isn't even bothering to hide his intentions anymore. He'll very likely make a move against Beauty."
"He dares touch a Sage Realm cultivator's disciple?"
Chen Lin found that hard to believe.
There were only six Sage Realm cultivators in the entire plane, which spoke volumes about their standing. Even if Beauty Fu was merely an ordinary disciple of Red Thirteenth Lady, her master would never allow such a thing to happen.
Yaoning fell silent for a while.
Pressing her lips together, she said, "Beauty is only Sage Hong's Accepted Disciple right now. She has to reach the Upper Realm before she can formally enter her tutelage. And Xing Henshui's Xing Family is a major power, too."
Chen Lin had nothing to say.
So she was only an Accepted Disciple. That indeed offered very little deterrence.
Besides, the fact that she was still in the Black Crow Sect made it even clearer that Beauty Fu held little standing in Red Thirteenth Lady's heart.
"Did you go to the Zhou Family?"
Chen Lin changed the subject.
"I did."
