Chapter 227 There’s news
Feeling Jiang Shuyu's gaze, Xu Mufan couldn't help but feel ashamed. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Jiang Shuyu.
"I'm sure you've been exhausted during this period. I'll send someone to look for Master. You should recuperate in the mansion first. I'll let you know when I have any news about Master!"
Listening to Jiang Shuyu's words, Xu Mufan shook his head, looked at her and said, "I'm not tired. Now, if I don't hear from Master for a day, my heart will not be at peace. Master has been so kind to me. How can I enjoy the good life in the mansion and abandon Master!"
Xu Mufan was talking excitedly, but he was so tired that he felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand.
Jinshu saw this and immediately felt something was wrong. She hurried forward to support him, "Mr. Xu, be careful!"
Seeing Xu Mufan so weak now, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but shook her head helplessly. She knew that Xu Mufan cared about Xu Yiyuan as much as she did. She also saw Xu Mufan's worry. But now they didn't even have any clues. Even if Xu Mufan followed the people below to search, it would be useless.
Moreover, Xu Mufan had been ill since childhood, and the master had spent countless efforts to stabilize his condition. If the master had not been found yet, Xu Mufan would have collapsed. Even if the master came back, he would feel bad. Knowing Xu Mufan's thoughts, Jiang Shuyu could not help but persuade him:
"It's not like I'm letting you stay at the mansion. If Master is really kidnapped, then if he has a chance to escape, he will definitely find a way to return to the mansion. If there's no one at the mansion, who will take care of him? If you stay at the mansion, Master will have someone to take care of him when he returns. What do you think?"
Xu Mufan's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he knew that the probability of Jiang Shuyu saying this was very small, he didn't dare to gamble with his master's health. What if his master couldn't find him when he came back, and there was no one to take care of him? That wouldn't be a solution. But if he had to wait in the mansion, he was unwilling to do that. Then he looked at Jiang Shuyu and talked about his own worries:
"But, but it's been so long and there's still no sign of Master. I really can't wait any longer!"
"Don't worry! Master has saved so many lives and accumulated so much merit. He will definitely return safely! Just wait in the mansion for now! I will keep in touch with you. As long as there is news about Master, I will send a pigeon to you so that you can rest assured."
Xu Mufan also knew that he really couldn't help much. Instead of joining the team and causing trouble for them and hindering their progress, it would be better for him to prepare everything at home and wait for his master to return. After thinking this through, Xu Mufan nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll stay at the mansion and wait!"
After getting Xu Mufan's consent, Jiang Shuyu ordered Jinshu to send him back. After all, given his current physical condition, she was really afraid that he would collapse on the road before he returned. By then, she would be helpless!
Although Jiang Shuyu meant well, Xu Mufan was unwilling to do so. After listening to Jiang Shuyu's instructions, he quickly declined, saying, "This place is not far from the mansion. There's no need to trouble Miss Jinshu. I can go back by myself!"
Now that the master has not been found yet, he is just a little tired. What does this little discomfort matter?
Seeing Xu Yiyuan so insistent, Jiang Shuyu had no choice but to agree. Looking at Xu Mufan's back as he left, Jiang Shuyu hurriedly glanced at Jinshu. Jinshu immediately understood Jiang Shuyayu's intention, and then turned around and followed Xu Mufan away until Xu Mufan returned home safely. Only then did she go back to report to Jiang Shuyu.
After Xu Mufan left, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but ponder. It had been so long since her master disappeared, and Xu Mufan had searched for him at least five times. It was obvious that Xu Yiyuan must no longer be in Kyoto.
This undoubtedly brought trouble to their search. With such a vast sea of people, looking for someone would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. With her current ability, it would be difficult to search across the country. Now, if she wanted to find the master quickly, she really couldn't think of another place except Zuiyue Tower all over the country. Thinking of Zuiyue Tower, Jiang Shuyu's eyes sank. It seemed that she had to go there again!
Now it was urgent to find Xu Yiyuan, so Jiang Shuyu naturally could not delay any longer. She told Yulan to tell Madam Jiang and Ruan that she would go back first. Then Jiang Shuyu took Jinyue and left.
However, Jiang Shuyu had just left the Dingguo Mansion when she saw Yifeng coming towards her. Seeing him walking straight towards her, she subconsciously looked for Xiao Jingchuan, only to find that after Yifeng left, there was no one around.
Jiang Shuyu then remembered that today was Xiao Jinrui's wedding day. Xiao Jingchuan, as Xiao Jinrui's brother, must have gone to attend Xiao Jinrui's wedding, so he naturally would not appear in this place. However, Yifeng, as his personal bodyguard, was not protecting him, so why did he come here? Jiang Shuyu was very confused.
But Yifeng soon came in front of her, looked at her and bowed respectfully and said:
"Miss Jiang, my master said he has something to discuss with her. He is waiting for her at Zuiyue Tower. If there is anything she wants to know, she will be happy to hear it from him once she arrives at Zuiyue Tower. He will definitely satisfy her!"
Listening to Yifeng's words, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but be very surprised. Could it be that Xiao Jingchuan knew that she was going to Zuiyue Tower? Otherwise, why would he let her go to Zuiyue Tower to find him?
Yifeng's words also gave her the illusion that Xiao Jingchuan might have something else to say, and that it was exactly the information she urgently needed. Right now, all she wanted to know was the whereabouts of her master. Could it be that Xiao Jingchuan already had news about her master?
But Mu Fan said that he had always kept the news of his master's disappearance secret, so how did Xiao Jingchuan know about it? Although Jiang Shuyu was very surprised, she also had a mysterious trust in Xiao Jingchuan.
Thinking that Xiao Jingchuan might have some news about his master, Jiang Shuyu's heart suddenly became happy. She was going to Zuiyue Tower anyway, and now that Xiao Jingchuan was there, she naturally didn't need to be so timid. Jiang Shuyu immediately looked at Yifeng and said:
"Since His Royal Highness Prince Jing is also at Zuiyue Tower, please lead the way!"
