Clues

Bai Chen glanced at Genava and didn't give him a chance to run an exhaustive search. She tried speculating. "Maybe the headquarters of the ascetic monk's faction is somewhere in Icefield. It's closest and safest to return via Gesterbourg. Who knew that his condition would worsen after his arrival, leaving him stranded?"

Jiang Baimian's eyes flickered slightly. "There are two problems. The first is that the ascetic monk arrived in Gesterbourg in March and died in April. It's easy for ordinary people to freeze to death in Icefield during that season, much less him—who wasn't in good health. If their headquarters really are in Icefield, I believe he wouldn't be stingy in sending a telegram to headquarters. To protect the Subhuti figurine in his possession, the higher-ups will then send a convoy to pick him up after arriving at Gesterbourg. However, such a thing didn't happen after nearly a month."
