"But..."
Nangong Qingqing still wanted to say something, but when her gaze met Bei Qingyue's cold eyes, the words stuck in her throat.
What's going on with mother? She's the Clan Leader, someone whose strength in the Bei Family rivals Mr. Bei. How could she be afraid of someone who has been in seclusion for so many years?
Anyway, Nangong Qingqing is insignificant in the Bei Family. She might as well not anger her mother since it's none of her business.
Pressing her lips together, she looked up to meet Bei Qingyue's displeased gaze, her voice subconsciously lowered a few pitches.
"Mother, where should we search next?"
"You take some people and search the woods outside, see if that person left any clues."
"Okay, I'll go now."
After Nangong Qingqing left with a few henchmen, Bei Qingyue turned back to glance inside the hall.
Seeing the three were no longer concerned with their presence, they had started chatting and laughing again.
