“It’s my father’s study!”

“Why do you think it’ll be there?” Ouyang Shaochen looked at her calmly. When Murong Yue’s body was brought back to the capital city, he did not take the mysterious token with him.

“Didn’t you mention that the invisible guards were extremely loyal to my father? When they were secretly protecting my father, they must have been guarding that token as well. My father died in battle so suddenly that they had no time to rescue him. They also did not want the token to be taken by villains, so they secretly kept the token well and sent it back to my father’s study.” Murong Xue spoke eloquently.

Ouyang Shaochen glanced at her: “The story is well made up. But it is a hundred to one shot.” The token was made for commanding the invisible guards, how could those invisible guards take it everywhere at will?

“No matter how unlikely it is, it doesn’t mean there is no possibility. Let’s go to my father’s study to find out.” Murong Xue said pleasantly with wisdom twinkling in her dark pupils.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shaochen sighed helplessly and nodded gently: “Okay!”

After getting off the bed gracefully, Ouyang Shaochen took a clean white robe and put it on. Then he led Murong Xue out of the room and flew out of the Lord Freedom’s Mansion as with his long arms tightly around her waist.

After a while, they arrived at the Country-guarding Marquis’ Mansion and then landed outside the study lightly.

Ge Hui was standing not far away. Seeing them, he came over quickly: “Milady, Your Highness.”

Murong Xue slightly nodded and looked at him, saying: “Uncle Hui, did anyone come to this study after my father’s death?”

“The junior marquis came several times, the servant comes for cleaning every day, and I enter the room occasionally. If memory serves, there is no one else.” Ge Hui replied in a low voice.

Murong Xue nodded and gently pushed the door open. The fragrance of sandalwood came with the strong scent of books and caressed her face, which was refreshing.

She blinked before slowly walking into the study, and only saw a tall bookshelf placed in the innermost area with various books. And there was a set of table and chairs made of rosewood in front of the bookshelf, which was sculptured complicatedly and looked noble as well as elegant. There was also a superior set of pen, ink, paper and ink stone on the table, each of them was valuable.

There were several scripts and paintings on the wall. The style of those paintings was delicate and the strokes of the writing was sharp, which added to the elegance of the study.

“The junior marquis seldom comes to the study. So the decoration and the layout of the room are the same as it used to be.” Ge Hui explained gently.

Murong Xue nodded again. It was obvious from the layout of the study that Murong Yue was not only good at martial arts, but also a person who knew literary pursuits well and had high attainments in calligraphy and painting.

Walking slowly towards the desk, she reached out her hands and pulled out the drawer, in which she saw an ebony box quietly put on the top of everything else.

Murong Xue picked up the box and opened it gently. She saw nothing inside so she couldn’t help knitting her brows in confusion: “Why is an empty box here?”
