Xie Zihan seemed not to have heard what Xie Lingxiao said. He lowered his eyes and pondered, constantly thinking of ways to respond.

Xie Lingxiao asked: "Where is my princess?"

Thinking about how Shen Jingxuan asked Li Luo to spread the news of her disappearance, she was afraid that there would be some trouble this time and she would be unable to get away for a while.

Xie Zihan answered truthfully: "She is not here, and I don't know where she is."

He had been looking for Shen Jingxuan for several days. Whether on the way to or from Shangjing City or in Shangjing City, he had searched countless times, but still could not find her.

But if she wasn't in Shangjing City, Xie Zihan couldn't think of where she would go.

He knew that Shen Jingxuan was skilled in martial arts, and he also knew that she was protected by Xie Lingxiao's men.

But he had been very cautious and only allowed her to bring a maid into the other courtyard, and still did not keep her.

Thinking of his bulging belly, Xie Zihan thought about it for several days but couldn't figure out how Shen Jingxuan left.

Xie Lingxiao stepped forward and approached Xie Zihan: "Don't you know? Lingfeng Lingchen, go see if the princess is here."

Ling Feng and Ling Chen ignored Xie Zihan's objections and quickly disappeared in front of him.

Xie Zihan said angrily: "I said she's not here, so she's not here."

Xie Lingxiao took a few steps forward and said, "Why don't you tell me why you trapped her in the other courtyard?"

As he walked forward, Xie Zihan's hands at his sides tightened slightly, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying a word.

Don't you want to tell him? He will let him tell him.

After a while, Ling Chen and Ling Feng returned. They searched the entire villa but did not see Shen Jingxuan and Ling Qiong.

Xie Lingxiao said coldly: "Lock him up until he tells the whereabouts of the princess."

"If he insists on not telling me, then I will release him when I find the princess."

Xie Zihan said angrily: "I am the crown prince. Even if you are the regent, you cannot put me under house arrest at will."

Xie Lingxiao didn't want to get entangled with him. After looking at Ling Feng, he saw him nod slightly and walked towards the room on his own.

Shen Jingxuan was missing, so there couldn't be no clues at all. He wanted to go to the place where she lived and take a closer look.

When he came to the room and saw the mess it was in, he was disappointed after all.

Xie Lingxiao stood in the room for a long time. Ling Chen kept reporting the news brought back from Luofeng Temple, but there was no news about Shen Jingxuan at all.

"Go find Li Luo and ask him what he knows." Ling Chen left quickly and ordered people to find Li Luo.

Until night fell, the people sent by Ling Chen returned, but the news they received was that Li Luo was not found.

Xie Lingxiao stood in the dirty and messy room, anxiously unable to find Shen Jingxuan's whereabouts, and his face became increasingly ugly.

He stood by the window, looking at the moonlight outside, with Shen Jingxuan's figure in his mind.

Xuan'er, where on earth did you go?

There was a slight noise behind him, and Xie Lingxiao suddenly came to his senses and dodged to the corner.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the room, moving towards the window.

Before the person reached the window, he quickly retreated and Xie Lingxiao slowly walked out from the corner.

It was hard to see who was on the other side in the dim room. The two men paused for a moment, then attacked each other.

The figures swayed, the two men moved faster and faster, and the sounds of fighting became louder and louder.

Ling Feng and Ling Chen rushed over upon hearing the noise, and suddenly opened the door. The moonlight shone through the door onto the two people fighting.

Xie Lingxiao paused for a moment and abruptly retracted his hand: "Why are you here? Where is Xuan'er?"

Li Luo looked at Xie Lingxiao, a little dazed for a moment: "You returned to the city?"

Xie Lingxiao hurried forward: "You spread the news that Xuan'er is missing, where is she?"

Ling Feng and Ling Chen looked at each other, not understanding why the person who had disappeared after being searched for for half a day would appear here.

Li Luo looked above the room, thought for a long time, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Xuan'er is safe. I don't know where she is."

Xie Lingxiao was puzzled: "You don't know where she is, how do you know she is safe? Have you seen her?"

Li Luo pointed at it and said, "I saw it just now. I want to go out and get some information about the city."

Ling Chen and Ling Feng both looked up in the direction of Li Luo's finger, but they saw nothing except the roof.

Xie Lingxiao pursed his lips slightly: "Ling Chen and Ling Feng, please step back."

Li Luo looked up twice and guessed that Shen Jingxuan was hiding in the space.

But originally only he and Shen Jingxuan knew about this space, but now even Li Luo knew about it.

No, there are also Ling Qiong and Shen Xinglin.

Xie Lingxiao couldn't understand what kind of danger it would be, given Shen Jingxuan's skills and with Ling Qiong and Li Luo by her side, that would make her so embarrassed that she would expose the space to several people.

After Ling Chen and Ling Feng left, Xie Lingxiao pulled Li Luo's arm and asked, "Is Xuan'er injured?"

Li Luo thought about it and shook his head slightly: "No injuries."

Why did he expose the space even though he was not injured?

Unable to figure out the reason, Xie Lingxiao just wanted to see Shen Jingxuan as soon as possible.

"How do you go to see her?"

"She made an appointment with me to take me back in an hour."

Xie Lingxiao glanced at the moonlight outside, hoping that time would pass quickly.

From the time Li Luo appeared to now, the two of them have been delayed for so long, why is it only half an hour?

Xie Lingxiao didn't know that the next half hour would be the most difficult time in his life.

Li Luo saw him pacing around the room and stopped him: "Can't you just stay still for a while?"

"What's the situation outside now?"

Seeing that Xie Lingxiao had no intention of stopping, Li Luo had to talk to him about what was happening outside to distract his attention.

Xie Lingxiao said: "Luofeng Temple cleared out the people from the other courtyard. Now everyone around here is their own people. Xie Zihan has been locked up."

Li Luo said: "What about Shangjing City? Are the people in the Zhenguo Mansion safe?"

Xie Lingxiao frowned slightly and shook his head slightly at Li Luo.

After he returned to the city, he was only concerned about Shen Jingxuan's safety and did not send anyone to find out other information.

Seeing that Xie Lingxiao stopped talking, Li Luo found a place to sit down and waited quietly for time to pass.

Xie Lingxiao was still walking around the room, looking out the window from time to time, hoping that time would pass faster.

When the moon was halfway through, Xie Lingxiao looked out the window again. Seeing that the time Li Luo had said had come, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking that he would soon meet the person he had been thinking about day and night, Xie Lingxiao pursed his lips slightly, feeling inexplicably nervous.

He didn't know whether Shen Jingxuan was angry with him or blamed him after so much time had passed.

But every time he thought of Shen Jingxuan's resentful eyes, and her cold and calm eyes before she left, Xie Lingxiao always felt a slight pain spreading in his chest.

There was a noise behind him, and Xie Lingxiao's body froze in place for a moment.

Shen Jingxuan slowly walked out from the shadows, and Li Luo hurried forward to support her.

"Xuan'er, have you forgotten me again? You are half a quarter late again today."

Shen Jingxuan curled her lips and smiled: "I accidentally fell asleep, why are you so anxious waiting?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes fell on the figure in the distance, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
