The War King had always been kind to her, even though he did not know that she was his daughter.
At times, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but wonder if his unprovoked kindness was perhaps due to the bonds of blood?
As she pondered this, Ye Jiu suddenly chuckled.
In the still of the night, within the darkness, Ye Jiu got down from her bed.
She retrieved a flashlight from her space, turned it on, and moved to the desk. Ye Jiu began to write a letter of reassurance.
Once she finished writing, Ye Jiu folded the letter, opened the door, and called out, "Xiaobai." Ye Bai suddenly flew down from a large tree in the courtyard and landed in front of Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu held out the letter in front of Ye Bai’s bird head, "Xiaobai, can you deliver this letter to the War King at the War Prince Residence?"
Ye Jiu knew that although it couldn’t transform into a Beastman, it could still understand her words.
Indeed, as soon as Ye Jiu finished speaking, it stretched out a claw to grab the paper from her hand and, flapping its wings, was already soaring in the sky.
Ye Jiu hadn’t expected it to act so swiftly, and she didn’t know if it could successfully find the War King, so all she could do was to shout after the direction Xiaobai flew off to, "If you can’t find him, come back, be careful, and don’t let anyone catch you."
In response, she heard Ye Bai’s piercing cry.
Unfortunately, Ye Jiu didn’t understand bird language, so she couldn’t make out what it meant.
War Prince Residence, study room!
The War King sat at the head of the table listening to his subordinate’s reports; once he finished listening, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, walking out excitedly.
That ungrateful girl, truly heartless.
Ever since the day she disappeared, this old man hasn’t had a single peaceful day, waking up every morning to search for her, and if not found, to continue searching.
Even the matters concerning Sikong Mo had been pushed aside.
But that girl, the ungrateful one.
She had already returned at noon today, yet hadn’t come to inform him until now.
At this moment, the War King hadn’t considered that his relationship with Ye Jiu amounted to nothing more than a few meetings.
Furthermore, given Ye Jiu’s current status, she truly wasn’t qualified to step into the War Prince Residence.
If it hadn’t been for hearing from Ye Wenzheng that the War King was genuinely concerned about her, Ye Jiu wouldn’t have known that he had actually been looking for her for several days.
The War King, upon hearing the news of Ye Jiu’s return, almost didn’t pause, lifting his leg and stepping out the door, even too rushed to wait for his servant to bring his horse, he started using Qinggong and left directly.
Fortunately, the War Prince Residence and the War King’s residence were both prestigious nobility in the capital city, so they weren’t far from each other. Since moving, Ye Jiu lived next to the War King’s residence, so naturally, she wasn’t too far from the War Prince Residence.
The only flaw was that the main gates were located on different streets; the courtyard where Ye Jiu now lived didn’t open onto the main street, so entering through the main gate seemed somewhat off the main path.
The War King didn’t realize that a large bird was following behind him.
Ye Bai was also a step too late; by the time he reached the War Prince Residence with the letter, the War King had just stepped out.
During the past two days, the War King had visited Ye Jiu’s place a few times. Although Ye Bai and Ye Hei hadn’t revealed themselves at the time, they had both committed his image to memory.
So, upon seeing the War King’s figure leave the house, Ye Bai immediately turned around to follow him.
Halfway there, Ye Bai quickened its pace and swooped in front of the War King, who was startled. Once he saw it clearly, he realized it was the familiar eagle, the one that had carried Ye Jiu away so swiftly that day.
