"No. It is impossible. So you throw that thought away," Xue Ning said again.

While on the other hand, Xue Ying was silent and no longer replied to his sister's words.

Moon Pavilion.

Fu Xie Lan lay weakly on her bedroom bed, ever since on the altar, her head suddenly felt heavy, nausea and dizziness slowly gnawed at her again.

Her mind wandered when she saw the crow carcass that was sent to her. She knew very well what the contents of the chest meant.

Death, crow carcasses are often symbolized by death. That means someone threatened to kill her.

But who?

The girl had thought too much about who the mastermind behind the chest might be and she couldn't stay on the altar any longer.

In the end, she resigned first, of course, followed by Gu Yi. While the Emperor still had to give a few words to the guests present until the event was completely over and all were disbanded.

"What now, Queen?" Gu Yi asked Fu Xie Lan.

The girl just nodded weakly.

Strangely enough, recently, Fu Xie Lan often felt her body suddenly weak without knowing the cause.

Just like now, as if something sucked her mana.

Was this the effect of the approaching silver blood moon or something else? She didn't know, Fu Xie Lan wasn't so sure.

"Rest then," Gu Yi said again when he saw Fu Xie Lan's response.

While on the other hand, Guards Bai Xue and Bai Mo were now far from the royal palace.

It is currently standing on a hill that is behind the Zu royal palace.

"I feel someone's dark aura disappearing here, Momo."

"You feel it too, don't you?" Bai Xue asked turning to Bai Mo and found the man standing on a tree branch not far from him, seemingly looking around from a height. The wind blew his long white hair.

A sigh escaped Bai Xue's lips, don't ask why, because since earlier it turned out that he was only talking with the wind.

With the position of the white-haired man, it was clear that he didn't hear what he said.

Immediately Bai Xue approached where Bai Mo was.

"Did you find anything?" he asked the man with the white hair.

Bai Mo didn't reply, and instead, the man seemed to be busy with his thoughts.

"Momo, I feel someone's aura disappearing here," he said repeating the sentence he had previously said.

Bai Mo turned to the man next to him with one eyebrow raised.

"Emm."

"Really? But the aura is foreign."

"I've never come across such an aura," he added.

"Is he one of the dark witch gangs?" Bai Xue asked again to continue his sentence.

Bai Mo shook his head slowly, "No. This person is not from the black witch," he replied.

"Huh?" Bai Xue was confused by his friend's words, she felt a dark aura left behind, if not a black witch then who? No other race has such an aura. After all, this is in human territory.

"Ahh, try it again. His aura is completely different from the black witch we last fought a while ago," Bai Mo said in one breath. Yes all this time, what they felt was always the same, the aura of black witches tended to be the same even though it was with different people.

Hearing Bai Mo's words, Bai Xue was stunned for a moment. And it turned out to be true what he said.

Even though the aura was dark, but somehow it felt like there was a slight difference.

"Who is it, then?" Bai Xue muttered.

"Do you have any idea about this?"

Bai Mo just shrugged his shoulders at the words of the man beside him.

Rough sighs sounded again almost simultaneously.

Previously they had searched for the mastermind behind the chest's shipper, but no one expected them to come across something like this.

Instead of finding the culprit, all they got was confusion that made their minds bogged down.

"We'd better go back and report it to His Majesty," Bai Mo said after a few seconds of silence.

"Without finding the culprit?" Bai Xue said flabbergasted.

"Hmmm, then we split up. If night falls and finds nothing, you return to this place. The same goes for me," Bai Mo decided.

"Alright. I'll go first," Bai Xue said immediately getting up from his position.

"Be careful, Momo. I'm going to miss you," shouted Bai Xue who was already some distance away from the white-haired man.

Bai Mo glared perfectly at the man's words, if only his position with Bai Xue was a little closer, he might have rewarded him with a kick.

Even so, deep down in his heart, he seemed to have gotten used to hearing Bai Xue calling him Momo for some reason. Yes, although at first, he felt a little ticklish.

The two eventually parted ways, searching for traces of someone in hopes of finding out who was behind the chest's sender.

***

The atmosphere within the Zu royal palace was getting quiet, perhaps because it was already nighttime. The residents who previously attended the princess's wedding have returned to their respective homes. The others returned to the inn they had rented.

Only princes from other kingdoms were still seen occasionally. The princes returned to stay at the royal palace before returning to their respective kingdoms.

However, it was different from prince Shen Zue who was the crown prince of the Oceanna Kingdom. Since leaving the palace that night, he never made an appearance again.

As well as at the princess's wedding. His feelings right now were really hard to describe. Even though he had only been in the Zu kingdom for a few days and everything that had happened had succeeded in making him look like someone who had lost his identity.

Knock...knock...knock...

A knock on the door caught his attention.

Opened the door and found the figure of a woman who has a very beautiful face.

"Brother, I miss you," said the woman bursting into the arms of the man who had just opened the door for her.

"Why are you here, Princess?" the man said releasing the woman's arms on his body.

She is his younger sister, princess Shen Jia Li.

"I heard the news about what happened in this kingdom, Big Brother."

"I was very worried about you, so I followed big brother here."

"Don't ask me why I know where you are now," the woman said then smiled broadly.

A rough sigh rang out from Prince Shen Zue's lips.

"As you can see. I'm fine."

"Princess with whom?" he asked the woman. But she only replied with a grin that made the man roll his eyes.

"Tomorrow, we return," he continued again making the woman in front of her frown. He knew his little sister very well. If his guess was correct, perhaps Shen Jia Li had run away from the kingdom again, riding a horse alone. The same as usual.
