Take Your Time, No Need to See You Off

Bianca Whitefan sighed in disappointment and put the stone away.

"What's wrong, Miss Bianca? Did I get infected?" Lena asked, noticing her strange expression.

"No, no," Bianca hurried to explain. "I've just been working nonstop for a whole day and night without sleep. I'm just a little tired, that's all."

"Miss Bianca, you really are working hard. Go get some rest," Lena said.

"Hmph!" Grace couldn't help but sneer.

Bianca looked a little embarrassed. "Then we won't bother you any further, Madam. We still need to visit the Dowager and Princess Maya Summers, so we'll take our leave!"

"Wait!" Lena called out.

"What can I do for you, Madam?"

"Test my daughter too!" Lena said. "She just got back, but it would be reassuring to check her anyway."

"Alright," Bianca said nonchalantly, placing the Spirit Vein Stone in front of Grace.

Grace didn't want her mother to worry, so she also let a drop of her blood fall onto the stone.

After a while, the stone remained unchanged, showing no reaction at all.

This was exactly what Leon Zane and Bianca Whitefan had expected.

Her mother wasn't from the Divine Clan, so naturally, neither was she.

"The eldest miss is not infected either," Bianca Whitefan said, putting away the Divine Vein Stone.

"That's wonderful! Thank you both so much!" Lena finally relaxed.

"In that case, we'll take our leave," Bianca Whitefan said.

Grace, help me see the Imperial Advisor and Miss Whitefan out," Lena instructed.

Grace shot them a glance, reluctantly got up, and walked them to the door.

At the doorway, Grace, cold as ice, lowered her voice and said, "By tomorrow, lift the lockdown on the Prime Minister's Residence!"

"Of course, of course!" Bianca Whitefan said. "Please don't be upset, eldest miss. We're only here to find someone, I promise we won't harm your family in any way."

"Take your time. I won't see you out!" Grace said coldly, turning and heading back inside.

At that moment, Colin Xiao was also there.

She didn't even spare him a glance, just brushed past him.

Colin Xiao could tell she was angry with him.

Really angry.

"Come on, General, stop staring!" Leon Zane waved a hand in front of Colin's face.

Colin Xiao frowned and asked Bianca Whitefan, "What's going on? Didn't you say she was most likely at the Prime Minister's Residence?"

Bianca Whitefan could sense Colin Xiao's murderous aura and stammered, "But there's still the Old Madam! Let's go see her next!"

With that, she grabbed Leon Zane and dashed off.

But the Old Madam wasn't the person they were looking for, either.

Neither was Princess Maya Summers.

They checked every man and woman in the Prime Minister's Residence—still nothing.

All three of them were disappointed.

They'd been hiding in the Blue Moon Kingdom all this time just to find that person.

Bianca Whitefan had used divination to pinpoint their target somewhere in the Blue Moon Kingdom.

Once they arrived in the Blue Moon Kingdom, the clues led them to Colin Gu.

In other words, if they could find Colin Gu, they'd find her.

All these years, they'd tried every trick in the book to search for her.

To get closer to Colin Gu, Colin Xiao became the General, Leon Zane became the Imperial Advisor, and other House Drake members and servants all hid here to help Colin Xiao.

Even Bianca Whitefan had entered the palace as a consort, but still, there were no clues.

Now, after that lightning strike, they finally had a glimmer of hope.

But after personally checking, they managed to snuff out even that little hope.

......

The Prime Minister's Residence allowed people in, but not out. Evan Xiao, having entered, couldn't leave either.

He went to pay his respects to the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister's eyes were dull, his face haggard—clearly, he was deeply worried about his son.

Later, Colin Xiao went to Forget-Worry Pavilion to look for Grace.
