A horse galloped towards them and arrived next to the carriage where Gu Qingluan and the others were.
Gu Qingluan signaled the coachman to stop.
“Your Highness Prince Lan, our Young Master earnestly requests your assistance in finding the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince.”
The heavy carriage curtain was pushed aside by a tender, white hand, revealing a face like a white jade plate, with big sparkling eyes. “We need to continue our journey; you can go to the authorities to search for the person.”
One of the guards on horseback anxiously said, “Are you heading to the Qiankun Academy? Our young master said he could arrange for the academy to cooperate, so it’s alright if you arrive there later. We implore Your Highness, Prince Lan to lend a helping hand, and the Kingdom of Dingyang is willing to reward generously!”
Gu Xiaonan scratched his head and turned to Feng Tianlan, “Daddy, he said there’s a reward. Will you agree to help?”
Feng Tianlan didn’t immediately respond; instead, he turned to Gu Qingluan and asked, “Is there anything you want to do?”
This meant he was waiting to see what Gu Qingluan wanted.
Gu Qingluan squinted her peach-like eyes and looked at him with determination. “If you intend to find someone, are you planning to use a secret technique?”
Feng Yuanxi disapproved, “Daddy, your body hasn’t fully recovered after you previously used the secret technique. It’s not advisable to use them again.”
Gu Xiaonan immediately lifted the carriage curtain and said to the guards outside, “We don’t agree. You can go back.”
The guard showed a pleading expression. “I implore the Royal Prince Lan to show mercy. The Ninth Prince is just a child, only seven years old. If he’s taken by someone, who knows what he’ll suffer.”
Thinking of the young master’s instructions, he tried to squeeze out a few tears, passionately describing the Ninth Prince’s pitiable situation in order to gain sympathy.
Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi were younger, and upon hearing his pleading, their young faces showed reluctance.
“Mother, why don’t we stay and help with the search? Daddy doesn’t have to use secret techniques at the moment, and we can think of other ways. Xiao Bai has a keen nose; perhaps he can find the Ninth Prince’s whereabouts.”
Xiao Bai, lying on a cushion, squeaked twice.
Feng Yuanxi added, “My Xiao Hei can also help.”
At the mention of its name, Xiao Hei, the snake, crawled out of his sleeve.
Seeing the expectant eyes of the two children, Gu Qingluan couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
She raised her gaze to Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan nodded slightly.
“Then let’s stay in the city for now.”
The guards outside heard this and were overjoyed. “Thank you very much, Consort Lan, and thank you, Royal Prince Lan, and the two young masters!”
Xiao Jingye was relieved to see that his people had brought Gu Qingluan and her group here.
“Royal Prince Lan, I trouble you…”
“It should be a trouble for Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei!”
Gu Xiaonan interrupted him.
Xiao Jingye looked at him in astonishment.
What does he mean?
Didn’t Royal Prince Lan agree to help?
He received news not long ago that Royal Prince Lan possessed a tracking secret technique. As long as he borrowed a bit of the person’s aura he wanted to find, he could trace their whereabouts. That’s why he sent someone to invite the other party to help.
But judging by this kid’s intention, Royal Prince Lan didn’t plan to take action.
Gu Xiaonan glared at him. “What’s that expression? Are you looking down on Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei? They’re amazing!”
Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei both proudly raised their heads.
Knowing that he couldn’t offend Gu Xiaonan at this moment, Xiao Jingye smiled. “That’s not what I meant. How do they plan to find my cousin?”
“Get something that your cousin used before and let Xiao Bai sniff it.”
Xiao Jingye waved his hand, and one of his men brought a cloak.
“This is what my cousin wore yesterday. Is it suitable?”
“It’s fine.”
Gu Xiaonan took the cloak and placed it in front of Xiao Bai.
After sniffing it, Xiao Bai jumped to the ground, sniffing with its small nose, and then dashed in a certain direction.
“Hey, did Xiao Bai smell something?”
Even Gu Xiaonan was surprised.
Xiao Jingye hurriedly followed.
“We should also go and see.”
Gu Qingluan and the others immediately followed.
Xiao Bai ran through several streets and stopped in front of a mansion.
A white silk hung in front of the mansion gate, and mournful music could be heard from inside.
Seeing the plaque above the gate, Yu Jingting was surprised, “The Bai Family? Did it make a mistake?”
“Squeak, squeak!” Xiao Bai, being questioned, growled unhappily, baring its teeth.
Gu Xiaonan immediately spoke up for his little friend. “Xiao Bai has the keenest nose; it won’t make a mistake.”
Yu Jingting awkwardly touched his nose.
Xiao Jingye looked at the Bai Family’s mansion and asked, “Has someone died here?”
“If I’m not mistaken, the one who died is Ming Qi Yi,” Gu Qingluan explained casually when she saw Xiao Jingye looking confused, “the lover of a Bai Family’s heiress.”
Xiao Jingye was surprised by how she knew this. Wasn’t she just passing through Yeyu City?
But that wasn’t the main point.
He lowered his head and looked at Xiao Bai standing at Gu Xiaonan’s feet, speaking gently, “Xiao Bai, do you know where my cousin is?”
