Shao Qing furrowed his brows and asked the servant boy tidying up the inner chamber, "Where is the young master?"

The servant boy hunched his shoulders anxiously, "I, I also don't know. I was on duty in the main room. When I arrived, the young master was already not in the room."

Shao Qing felt suffocated with frustration, turned, and walked out of the main room. He stood in the middle of the courtyard and called out, prompting all the maids and servant boys who served there to run out.

He asked, "Does any of you know where the young master has gone? There is a handsome reward."

Everyone shook their heads.

One of them cleverly said, "Lord Shao, not long after you left, the young master also left."

"The young master rode out on a horse."

"It was that green-maned horse which our master brought from the Capital City, it runs very fast, and vanished in a puff of smoke."

Not a single piece of useful information.
