Chapter 71: Chapter 57: Li Guanyi, Here I Come!

At the literary meeting in the royal retreat, Xue Daoyong restrained his gaze, shifting it away from his granddaughter, sweeping his aged but fierce eyes across all the distinguished scholars present, causing a slight tremble in their hearts. Among them, the renowned scholar Qiu Shiheng, who once served as a Grand Scholar at the court, pondered for a moment before saying:

"Elder Xue, please accept my condolences."

Xue Daoyong replied, "It's not yet time for condolences."

Yue Qianfeng had gone to the Mo School's Assassin branch as he suspected that Li Guanyi was not present and had been abducted. Before leaving, he had asked Xue Daoyong to search in Guan Yi City. The elder, having dispatched most of the Guest Elders outside, had returned himself to recruit more people. His gaze swept over the scholars as he paced slowly and spoke softly.

"Disciples of the Ming Sect, Mixture School, and novelist families, skilled in sensing presence."

"I ask you all to find traces of my child."
