After Mu Qing left, Xu Fei Yi pulled a scroll that was hidden on the lowest part of the study table.
"Shadow."
Immediately after Xu Fei Yi called him, Shadow appeared instantly in front of Xu Fei Yi.
"This subordinate is here, Your Lordship."
Xu Fei Yi unrolled the scroll and silently read the content. A few breaths[1] later, Xu Fei Yi rolled it and placed it on the study table.
"How's Yue Shin's side?"
"Reporting to Your Lordship, Chief got a new information regarding Yue Ling's disappearance but when he arrived at the place, he was ambushed instead. When those people were cornered by our men, the remaining assassins committed suicide, thus, we were unable to find anything."
Hearing the information from Shadow's mouth, Xu Fei Yi's eyes hardened. Tapping his finger on the study table, Xu Fei Yi went silent.
*tap* *tap* *tap*
Only the repetitive tap of his finger could be heard in the entire room. Moments later, Xu Fei Yi opened his mouth once again.
