"Martial Uncle Songfengzi?"
"He's missing?!"
Lu Mian was shocked to hear the news.
He had never expected something so serious to happen just a few days after he left New Sun City.
"Mm... we still haven't found any trace of Chief Songfengzi... we don't know whether he's alive or dead."
Hearing the change in Lu Mian's voice, Zhu Xi realized that he knew Songfengzi too.
Lu Mian had already regained his composure. "Thank you for letting me know, Holy Maiden."
He said nothing more.
He had no idea what sort of relationship his eldest martial uncle had with Zhu Xi.
At a time like this, the more he said, the more mistakes he might make. Silence was safer.
Songmingzi frowned deeply and said softly, "We'll handle Junior Brother Songfengzi's affairs ourselves."
"Then I'll take my leave." Zhu Xi treated Songmingzi with considerable respect, bowing before she left.
Once Zhu Xi had gone, Songmingzi asked, "Lu Mian, do you think Songfengzi suffered an accident, or was someone behind it?"
Lu Mian took a deep breath. "Although I don't know the full story yet, I don't think Martial Uncle Songfengzi would be so reckless... I'll have to return to New Sun City and investigate before I can find out what really happened."
After all, Zhu Xi had only said that Songfengzi was missing. She had offered no details.
That left Lu Mian unable to judge what had happened.
"Mm... I'll leave this matter to you."
"Remember to be careful. If what happened to Songfengzi wasn't an accident... you'll be in considerable danger once you get involved."
Songmingzi coughed softly a few times.
He was crippled now and could not leave Heart-Refining Cliff at all.
"Then I'll head down the mountain."
Lu Mian also wanted to return to New Sun City as soon
