The sudden disappearance of the beasts caused heartbreak for their owners. Every day, they would cry in the Golden Temple and beg the Emperor Immortal to send people to look for their pets.
Over the past two days, the Emperor Immortal had discussed with the officers about the details. Long Siye was the right arm of the emperor, so naturally, he could not be absent. He could not even take leave at this moment. He often spent his entire day in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Today was the first time that his meetings ended earlier; the red sun on the horizon was still visible. When he returned to his house, he did not even change his clothes but went straight to look for Gu Xijiu. His servant told him that she was still in the garden, so he rushed there.
He saw her lying on the rocking chair and went closer. It was rare that she was still awake, and she was bored while playing with the willow branches. The evening wind blew her hair, and her beauty was suffocating.
