Bab 269: Moonlight Pond 269

Gu Yang opened his eyes and saw Pei Qianlan standing anxiously outside the door. He beckoned to her, signaling her to come in.

By now, it had grown dark, and the palace was eerily quiet.

The room was pitch-black. Earlier, a palace maid had tried to light a lamp, but Pei Qianlan had stopped her, fearful that it might disturb him.

"Are you okay?"

Pei Qianlan spoke anxiously as soon as she entered, "Just now, you seemed quite unwell."

After breaking into the Divine Power Realm, her spiritual sense became incredibly keen. Gu Yang had looked noticeably weaker upon returning from his meeting with the Empress Dowager, which raised a disturbing thought.

"I'm alright now."

Gu Yang said, lighting a candle on the table with Mana, brightening up the dark room.

Changing the subject, he asked, "Is everything going well at Tianzhu Mountain?"

"Everyone's fine, but Han Mengling…" Pei Qianlan hesitated.

Han Mengling?

"What happened to her?"

"She disappeared all of a sudden, a month ago."
