"I am going out." Madam Fang Bai said.
"No." Pri Minister Fang instantly denied.
"I wasn't asking."
"I wasn't answering. It's an order."
"I won't listen. I need to go out."
"Why?"
"I am not telling."
Pri Minister Fang Yuan frowned at this. Glancing at Ye Tian Yun he let out a sigh and then said to Madam Fang Bai, "Sit down first. We will talk about this in a minute."
Then turning towards Ye Tian Yun, he asked, "What happened?"
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "I want you to et a friend from the GRacious Sword Sect."
Fang Yuan agreed, "Alright."
Ye Tian Yun was a bit taken aback, "You won't ask why?"
"Should I?" Pri Minister Fang smiled.
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I will tell you anyway. Well, do you have a subordinate with the na Mo Da?"
"Mo Da…" Pri Minister Fang frowned while thinking, "This na does ring a bell, but I don't quite point my finger at it."
"He was from the Third Guard Troops." Madam Fang Bai suddenly said.
"Ah yes," Pri Minister Fang Yuan nodded, "I rember now. Yeah, so what about him?"
Ye Tian Yun turned towards Madam Fang Bai, "Do you know where he is right now?"
Madam Fang Bai shook her head, "Maybe, but not sure. He left the clan about four months ago to visit his ancestral land. He was supposed to return within two months, but that deadline is long over. I sent soone to check up on him and found out that he never reached his ancestral village. Currently, he and two more are under investigation."
"Two more?" Pri Minister Fang asked, "Were there others with him?"
"Yes," Madam Fang Bai nodded, "Those two were left with him. They were his direct subordinates, so I didn't bother much."
Pri Minister Fang turned towards Ye Tian Yun, "What about them?"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Well, I kinda know what happened to them."
"Oh?" The other two in the room were surprised.
"Yes," Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "And whatever happened to Mo Da is the reason why I want you to et my friend."
"Hmm," Pri Minister Fang nodded, "I guess you won't tell the whole thing right now. How about I co back from the Royal Palace early today, and we three can have a chat in the evening?"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Sure. But I think you would want to hear everything earlier if I tell you the second part."
"There's more to this?" Pri Minister Fang smiled, "Tell what's the second part."
Ye Tian Yun put on a severe expression, "King Xin is involved in this."
Pri Minister Fang and Madam Fang Bai had their eyes open wide upon hearing this.
They looked at each other for a mont, and then, turning towards Ye Tian Yun, Pri Minister Fang asked, "Should I postpone my other etings?"
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Nah, it's alright. There's no need to hurry in getting the details. I am just here to give a heads up that King Xin's emotions and opinion of you have changed. And this is bad news for us. Emphasis on 'bad news'."
Pri Minister Fang exhaled, "Hmm, I will co back, and we will talk in detail about this."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Alright, I will take my leave."
Pri Minister Fang and Madam Fang Bai nodded their heads.
…
After Ye Tian Yun had left, Pri Minister Fang glanced at Madam Fang Bai and asked, "What do you think of that?"
"Well…" Madam Fang Bai pursed her lips, "I investigated Mo Da, and there were few suspicious signs on him. And if what Xiao Chen is saying is true, then it's highly likely that Mo Da's loyalty is not towards us, but to the person in the Royal Palace."
Pri Minister Fang let out a sigh, "What is this a lie? After all, Fang Chen's friend is from the Gracious Sword Sect. You should know what that place thinks about us."
"Us?" Madam Fang Bai smiled, "No. Only you. And they are not wrong."
"Sis…"
"I don't want to listen to any excuses." Madam Fang Bai shook her head, "I will take my leave now."
"No, wait." Pri Minister Fang frowned.
Madam Fang Bai paused mid-way, "What?"
"Are you going to et 'him'?"
"..."
"Tell ."
"Yes."
"..." Pri Minister Fang let out a sigh.
Madam Fang Bai lowered her gaze, "Elder Brother, I received his letter."
"Letter?" Pri Minister Fang smirked, "Is he marrying soone else this ti?"
"Hmph!" Madam Fang Bai frowned, "He wouldn't dare."
"Then?"
"He's coming to the Capital City."
"What!?" Pri Minister Fang was taken aback.
"Yes."
"Why is he coming here?" He frowned, "Did you call him?"
"No," Madam Fang Bai shook her head, "I told him not to co. But he said things have changed and... "
"And…?"
"....and he said this might be the last ti I see him."
"What?" Pri Minister Fang smirked, "Is he planning to commit suicide?"
"Elder Brother!"
"Alright, alright, I am just joking." Pri Minister Fang raised his hands in surrender, "What reason did he give you?"
Madam Fang Bai shook her head, "He didn't say anything. He wants to et in the Purple Spring Garden."
"Ah, trying to rekindle so mories, I see."
Madam Fang Bai let out a shallow smile, "What mories? All I feel is a heartache upon thinking about those tis."
Pri Minister Fang frowned, "When is he coming?"
"Tomorrow evening."
"Tomorrow?" Pri Minister Fang smiled, "Alright, go and et him."
Madam Fang Bai pursed her lips, "Elder Brother, do you know when did I receive this letter?"
"When?"
"Before I entered this building."
"Hm?"
"Yes. The first thing I did after reading that letter was to co here and inform you about it. Do you know why?"
Pri Minister Fang smiled, "Of Course I know. Don't worry; I won't interfere in this reunion. But be careful. I don't want King Xin to hear about this."
"That bastard is the last person I want to tell this to." Madam Fang Bai stood up from her seat, "I will go back to my courtyard now. I hope you keep your word."
Pri Minister Fang smiled, "I will."
