Chu Ge could see that Old Master Nangong was very anxious. Yes, whose children are lost and not worried?

He lowered his eyes slightly, thinking of his parents and family far away in another time and space, and her. He had been missing for so long. Would they be as anxious as the old man?

"Mr. Chu, consider it an old man’s plea. Please, please rescue Man Sha."

Old Master Nangong was about to kneel before Chu Ge, who quickly stepped forward to support him. Chu Ge didn’t know how to answer the old man.

If he agreed, but he didn’t have the capability, it would undoubtedly be deceitful—such a promise he couldn’t make nor keep.

Yet, seeing Old Master Nangong like this, he couldn’t refuse outright.

Chu Ge sighed slightly, "Old Master, don’t be like this. Sit down, let’s talk slowly."

Old Master Nangong, being advanced in age and possessing a certain status, retained some dignity after lowering himself once. He sighed deeply, as if wanting to pour out all his inner anxiety.

"Not to hide from Mr. Chu, Yun Xi recently kept saying Man Sha was in danger. If we don’t rescue her soon, she may not survive. I’m anxious here."

Old Master Nangong said with distress.

Chu Ge felt some doubt in his heart, "Old Master, who did you just say? Who mentioned that Miss Man Sha was in danger?"

"Oh, Yun Xi, the one who just chatted with you."

Mentioning Nangong Yunxi, the old man sighed again, "This child is actually unfortunate. Because of his mother, he was sent abroad from a young age. Doctors say he has the ability to prophesy. Initially, I didn’t believe it, but as more events occurred that couldn’t be explained scientifically..."

"Especially when many strange things happened to our Nangong Family, and Yun Xi predicted them all."

Old Master Nangong displayed a face of pain, questioning what kind of karma their Nangong Family was suffering from, facing incidents one after another recently.

First was him, now it has reached his descendants. He believed he had done nothing in his life to deserve guilt, even if he had to employ certain tactics in the marketplace, it would never threaten anyone’s personal safety. But why hasn’t their Nangong Family been peaceful this year?

As if they were cursed.

Chu Ge was not very familiar with the previous happenings in the Nangong Family, and he didn’t know what words to use to comfort the old man. He could only silently accompany him.

But this feeling made him feel odd.

Just then, the sound of the door knocking was heard. Chu Ge stood up to open the door and saw Jian Chunqiu standing at the entrance.

Chu Ge looked relieved as if seeing a savior, "Uncle Jian, are you here to find Old Master Nangong?"

Jian Chunqiu noticed the plea in his tone and nodded slightly, "Yes."

Actually, he wasn’t there to find Old Master Nangong. He saw Chu Ge being called over alone by him and worried that Chu Ge might accidentally reveal something, so he followed him over.

Now, hearing Chu Ge’s anxious tone, he knew he came at the right time.

Jian Chunqiu walked in and saw Old Master Nangong sitting on the sofa with a worried face. He curiously asked, "Old Master, what’s wrong with you?"

He sat opposite Old Master Nangong and glanced at Chu Ge, "What were you discussing just now? Why does the old master look so distressed?"

Chu Ge sat on the sofa beside Jian Chunqiu, saying, "The old master misses Miss Man Sha and asked how our investigation has been going recently."

In truth, he was also curious about the investigation’s progress. If there were clues, it meant he was closer to returning home.

Old Master Nangong looked tensely at Jian Chunqiu and asked curiously, "Elder Jian, how has your investigation been going? Any news about Man Sha? Can she really come back?"

A string of questions left Jian Chunqiu unsure how to respond.

He knew that whatever he said would be quite a blow to the old master.

"Old Master, please don’t worry. We are still investigating, we have some leads, but it will take time."

Jian Chunqiu could only respond evasively.

Though evasive, he indeed did uncover some leads.

Another reason he was there to find Chu Ge was to inquire about their time space matters.

"Old Master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take Chu Ge away. I have some private matters to discuss with him."

Jian Chunqiu spoke directly.

Old Master Nangong nodded. He sat there, with a face originally full of signs of age now tinged with sorrow. He said to Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu, "Please tell the housekeeper I want to be alone quietly and let no one disturb me."

"Alright."

Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu left the old master’s room. Jian Chunqiu led Chu Ge to an empty window. From this vantage point, they could clearly see the garden outside.

The Nangong Family was a large family with many children. Today was a family gathering, so many people came. At this moment, laughter and cheers of children filled the garden—so lively.

"Chu Ge, I have a question for you."

Jian Chunqiu directly asked.

Chu Ge looked at him, somewhat surprised. In his view, the plans and actions they undertook were beyond his knowledge, and he couldn’t offer much help. But now he was being asked.

This puzzled him a bit, "What question? Go ahead and ask."

"Years ago, did anything special happen in your time space?"

Jian Chunqiu asked.

Chu Ge looked at Jian Chunqiu doubtfully, "Special events? What counts as special events?"

To him, everything occurring in this space was special. People practiced martial arts, cultivated immortality, and had the existence of spiritual energy—even a small jade could contain immense energy.

All these were special to him.

Jian Chunqiu coughed lightly, "I’m asking if any unusual people, like those you only see on TV, actually appeared in your time space, or if there were any major transformations there."

In Chu Ge’s dark eyes, a flash of shock appeared. What Jian Chunqiu said about major transformations he didn’t know about, but he was very aware of one thing.

That was Fang Zhong’s death. Although he wasn’t present at the time, Lin Yu mentioned that several mysterious individuals took Fang Zhong away.

Later, when someone experienced a shipwreck and escaped to a deserted island, they inadvertently discovered Fang Zhong’s remains and learned that Fang Zhong had been killed.
