Third-person POV

The news that Huayun just reported to Hong er made Hong er couldn't stand properly. Ming Yu and Huayun swiftly grabbed Hong er and helped her sat on a nearby chair. Hong er took a deep breath and quickly gained back her composure.

Hong er: "Explain everything to me."

Ah Tong kneeled down and passed the letter he received not long ago.

Ah Tong: "Senior Jian's disappearance was the start of everything, we lost all contact with him and his badge showed that he was dead.

Master and Senior Tao were suspicious of his sudden death and sent someone to inquire about Senior Jian's whereabouts but they couldn't find any trace of Senior Jian in Da Chu Royal Palace.

Later they found Senior Jian hiding deep in the forest with critical condition. He passed us a letter before he went into a coma."
