Chapter 681: Killing Two Birds With One Stone!

“That old thing lived at the boundary of the Phantom Demon Heart fire for countless years. He has a lot of strange tricks up his sleeve. It’s not surprising that he managed to escape.” As Lou Qianxue walked out of the palace, she frowned and thought: I have to think of a way to trap him the next time.

“Next time, I won’t let him escape,” Dan Taiyuan lightly said.

Lou Qianxue glanced at him. Her red lips parted, and she was about to speak...

“Lil Sis Qianxue!” However, a rough voice interrupted her.

“Oh? Second Young Master?”

Chu Pengcheng strode over with a beaming smile. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. My father wants me to invite you to meet him.”

He directly ignored Dan Taiyuan.

However, Lou Qianxue turned her head and glanced at the handsome and expressionless man. “What about you?”

“Let’s go together.”

“...” Chu Pengcheng bitterly frowned and lamented in his heart. Father, the daughter-in-law you’ve got your eyes on is going to be snatched away.

He resentfully looked at Dan Taiyuan and sighed again.

After a while, the trio arrived at Zhen Guogong’s mansion.

“Qianxue, luckily for you, I recovered from my stubborn disease. I’ve finally lived up to your expectations today and found out the information you wanted.”

Lou Qianxue’s beautiful eyes lit up. In a trembling voice, she asked, “Are you saying that... there’s news about my mother?”

Zhen Guogong nodded.

Lou Qianxue suppressed her excitement and tried her best to stay calm. “Where is she?”

“I once said that four years ago, she saved my life at the border of the Tian Zhao Empire and the Nandu Nation.”

Lou Qianxue nodded. “Yes!”

“After that, I searched all over the Tian Zhao Empire for her but couldn’t find her... Some time ago, you asked me to investigate this matter again. Only then did I know that she went to the Nandu Nation! When she helped me back then, I thought that she was from the Tian Zhao Empire and that she couldn’t go to Nandu Nation. That’s why I didn’t investigate the Nandu Nation. I didn’t expect that she would actually go there!”

“The Nandu Nation?” Lou Qianxue could not help but clench her fists. “She’s in the Nandu Nation now?”

“No.” Zhen Guogong shook his head. “She lived in the Nandu Nation for a period, but she’s no longer here. However, if we can find the house she stayed in, we’ll definitely be able to find some clues!”

So, there’s still no sign of Mother!

However, this is much better than before.

Lou Qianxue returned to her senses and hurriedly nodded. “Did you find out where she stayed back then?”

“We haven’t yet. All we know is that she stayed with a soldier or general from the Nandu Nation, who participated in the war... Too many people took part in the war back then, so it would take some time to find that person.”

“A soldier or general of the Nandu Nation?” A strange look flashed across Lou Qianxue’s eyes. “How long will it take you to find out?”

“At most a month!”

Crown Prince’s expedition would probably take place at the same time.

Lou Qianxue calmed herself and smiled. “I understand. Thank you very much.”

She took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Zhen Guogong. “This Heart Cleansing Pill is good for your body. I specially refined it for you some time ago.”

Zhen Guogong was overjoyed. “Qianxue, you’re too kind.”

“I’ll have to trouble you with my mother’s matter. Also, I heard that you’re going to hold a martial arts competition for His Majesty and recruit outstanding youths to join the army. Is it true?”

“Yes. Did His Majesty summon you to the palace to tell you this?”

Lou Qianxue did not explain that she had entered the palace. She smiled. “Then, please sign me up too.”

Maybe, if I go there myself, the people who have seen Mother might recognize me...

At the same time, I can also do Emperor Ying and Crown Prince Yu a favor.

She would be especiallywo birds with one stone.
