Chapter 81

Lan Jianhong seemed to blank out for a moment, but he quickly shook his head, hopped on his foot, and said, "I'll go and ask them right away!"

The man in the blue robes rushed away, leaving Jie Qiqiang shouting after him, "Jianhong, wait—!"

Feng Delun shook his head at the master blacksmith. "Let him be, Qiqiang. Unless you would like to have, Xiaotong breathing down your neck. We'll ask the others what happened."

The three of them soon tracked down Ming Yongnian.

Ming Yongnian stood with his hands folded behind him, unaffected by the wind rustling through his hair and robes. The green blades and tiny purple flowers beneath him created an image of peculiar peace. 

If only Ming Yongnian had chosen to wear white robes, he would have looked like a righteous man, but he was dressed in black robes with golden threads.
