Incidentally, her father, Fu Yanlin, was looking
very gloomy at this moment.
So many cavalry were sent out but not a single clue
was found.
That woman and the horse had disappeared into
thin air. He had ordered his men to search all
corners of the country and there was no shred of
news.
Zhuang Kang, Yuan Ji, Meng Huai and two other
lieutenants all had their heads lowered. None of
them dared to take a quick look at their Lord. They
would only look at his face if they no longer wanted
their lives. The Lord's handsome visage was
marred by his bruised and swollen nose. They still
remembered that day they had found the Lord. He
had been lying on the ground with blood running
down his nose. Because he had been paralysed
they had to carry him back.
The woman who had punched their Lord and
caused him to lay on the ground and act as an
anthill was too daring. They couldn't imagine
which woman in the world would willingly punch
their Lord in his face.
Wait, it should be, their Lord's martial arts was so
good, how could he get hit by a woman? The
important point is that the place she hit was his
face! How would their Lord keep his dignity if this
matter spread?

Fu Yanlin sat in front of the problem, tapping the
table with his index finger in thought. He didn't
believe that that woman had grown wings and
flown away. She was bold enough to snatch the
horse away right in front of him so she had the
means to squirrel the horse away. If he had just
been able to see her appearance that day, he could
have at least posted a wanted image.... wait!
He suddenly remembered something and took out
the kerchief from where it had been pressed by a
book. It was the mask he had snatched from that
woman. As he looked at it carefully, he saw that it
had been embroidered with reeds.
Reeds? He slowly narrowed his eyes. Usually,
females would embroider flowers, birds, or other
auspicious mascots. Reeds were not a common
sight.
"Go check the nearby rivers and lakes and find out
which one has the most reeds." He instantly
ordered. If his guess was correct, that woman must
have taken the horse away via the waterways.
Additionally, her hiding place must have many
reeds nearby.

The subordinates received the order and answered
in the affirmative. They investigated hoofprints to
no avail but it was easy to investigate areas with
reeds.
The results came back within a day. Fu Yanlin
unfolded a map and looked over the terrain. He
then personally led Zhuang Kang and the others
out to investigate. They followed the river
downstream and finally arrived at the side of a lake
where a large cluster of reeds grew.
He had Zhuang Kang and the others explore the
surrounding area while he stood among the reeds,
looking at the lakes and mountains in the distance.
The light shone on the clear and crystalline water
and the birds were constantly landing and taking
off. The beautiful scenery looked like paradise on
earth. It made a person feel like they were standing
aloof from worldly affairs and this greatly soothed
his mood.
He raised his head and saw a bird of prey circling
above. This view unexpectedly gave him a sense of
deja vu but he couldn't recall when he had seen this
scene before.
Unexpectedly, he heard movement behind him. He
turned quickly.
"Who's there?"

Fu Yanlin narrowed his eyes, placing a hand on the
handle of his sword. His whole body exuded a
murderous aura and his face had none of the
relaxation he felt just before.
It would be very easy for someone to hide nearby.
He spotted one of the reeds moving and slowly
advanced. He pushed the reeds aside with his
scabbard and unexpectedly saw a small person
there.
Fu Yanlin was stunned. A little doll was sitting in
the middle of the reeds. She was very small,
probably around two or three years of age. The
little girl was incredibly pretty, blinking up at him
with curious eyes.
He stared at the little girl, very surprised to
discover this little thing in the reeds. When the
little girl saw him, she didn't cry or shout, like she
wasn't afraid at all. She even tilted her head as she
looked at him. That appearance was just so cute.
Fu Yanlin's vicious aura temporarily vanished. He
stared at her silently, then unhurriedly opened his
mouth.
"Little child, why are you here? Where are your
parents?"
"This person is your dad. Quick. Go up to him and
call him Daddy." He Guan's voice sounded out
beside Dou Dou.
