Master really was kidnapped.
Right in broad daylight, snatched away by someone.
The young girl named Xiao He seemed a bit at a loss.
Master Nan reported the crime, busying himself with the aftermath.
Pei Jinye felt something odd within him.
Considering the methods Master Nan displayed, those were not what an ordinary artifact refiner would possess.
And yet, such an important figure's first thought was to contact the authorities...
If the Federation were to get involved, Pei Jinye wouldn't be able to step in easily.
Though his identity had been carefully selected, he still had no reason to intentionally appear in the other party's sight.
Two days hurried past.
Master was still missing without a trace.
Xiao He remained at the front hall, replacing Master in prescribing medicine and treating the ill. Despite her young age, her medical skills were quite proficient.
It seemed the locals all knew her and were quite reassured.
Pei Jinye silently withdrew his gaze.
