1370 Leaving for Central Province 5 (2/2)

There was an irrepressible excitement in the middle-aged man's voice. After he spoke, he immediately dispatched his subordinates to search for the old lord's whereabouts.

...

Central Province.

Within a grand residence, a white-robed elderly man was playing chess against the old man seated before him. His eyes were bright and full of expression while containing shrewdness.

Standing beside the white-robed elderly was a spirited young lady. She was around sixteen to seventeen years old and her appearance was not devastatingly beautiful. Instead, her appearance would allow others to feel comfortable as her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and the brightness was similar to the night stars.

”Haha, I win again this time.”

The old man in navy robes heartily laughed and placed the chess piece on the board. Looking at the white-robed elderly, he said, ”Old man Jun, you seem to be restless recently and your chess playing has deteriorated. What happened?”

”Isn't it because of that disciple of mine?” The white-robed old man bitterly laughed. ”People of the Jun Family have been seeking for my whereabouts in the continent and I reckoned it's because that disciple of mine is thinking of abandoning his position. Therefore, I brought Ling'er along to hide here.”

The navy-robed elderly man frowned and asked, ”How is your search going? Your daughter's whereabouts are still unknown after all these years?”

Old man Jun sighed and helplessly shook his head. ”I've been searching for numerous years and there's still no news of her. Do you think she's no longer alive?”

”Grandfather.” Hearing the old man's somewhat sad words, the young lady blinked her huge bright eyes and giggled.
