Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"When will that messenger come back?" Shirong uttered as he remembered that he still needed a high grade spatial storage ring.

Simply wearing the armor for long periods was not sustainable, and he knew that he needed a solution quick.

'I'll just go hunt for now… need to get ready for the breakthrough.' Shirong thought to himself.

It was now that another thought appeared in his mind. In the next second, a frown appeared on his face.

"Where are Ye Dai and Bei Wen?" He questioned himself.

He tried to remember if he had seen them when the spatial rift had appeared or not. But even after thinking hard, he couldn't place them anywhere at the scene.

"This isn't right, they should have come to check up on me at the very first sign of danger…" Shirong muttered with disbelief.

He then realized that he had somehow completely forgotten about the two of them as well. In the past two days, not one thought about them had come into his mind. Neither had he seen them at the banquet either which was extremely strange as there was no chance they would give up on an event where they could praise their Young master.

"The people from the Lu clan didn't inform me about them either…" Shirong muttered in realization.

"SERV-" Shirong was about to shout when he realized that he was still in the bed room and the ten girls were sleeping.

Not wanting to disturb their well deserved sleep, he walked outside the bedroom and gestured with his hands. Formation runes appeared on the door of the bedroom for a few seconds before fading away. 

"Now it should be fine…" Shirong muttered to himself.

Lin Wu meanwhile was wondering what he had done. He could sense that something had changed in the formation array of the House but he didn't know exactly what.

"System, what did he do?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

"Oh nice, seems like it can be increased in this method as well." Lin Wu said to himself.

Once the formations were active, Shirong turned around and shouted, "SERVANTS!".

A few seconds later multiple footsteps could be heard, and it was evident that people were running towards him.

Five men appeared and kneeled in front of him, their heads lowered. They could sense that something was wrong and Young master Shirong seemed to be displeased.

"What are your orders, Young master?" They asked in unison.

"Do you know what happened to my two followers, Ye Dai and Bei Wen?" Shirong questioned.

"Lord Ye Dai and Lord Bei Wen?" One of them repeated with confusion.

"YES! Where are they?" Shirong questioned.

"Forgive us Young master, but we do not know where they are." The servant replied.

"WHAT?" Shirong interrupted them.

"But we do know what happened to them," Another servant hurriedly said, knowing that Young master was misunderstanding something.

"What is it then? Speak," Shirong ordered.

"Lord Ye Dai and Lord Bei Wen left Deer Wood city a while ago. We do not know where they went, but they went to do some tasks. We are mere servants so we do not know the details. But you can ask the clan head." The servant explained.

Shirong furrowed his brows as many thoughts appeared in his mind. He knew that they would never leave like this without his permission, at least not if they wanted to give up on all the credits and rapport they had built with him.

Shirong had a bad feeling about this and ran towards the courtyard where Ye Dai and Bei Wen were staying at. He didn't have a spirit sword now and couldn't fly on one. This was one of the things that he had asked the messenger to bring him and was something that he needed urgently.

Meanwhile, Lin Wu was wondering what had happened to the two men as well. 

"I don't think I saw them anywhere…" Lin Wu tried to recall as well.

"Wait a minute… System, when was the last record of the two men Ye Dai and Bei Wen?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The last recorded appearance of the two men was back when they had returned to the city after the Host's breakthrough. No other record can be found in the systems database.

——

"Hmm… that was nearly half a month ago… what happened during that time?" Lin Wu wondered.

"System, can you scan for them in the city and mark them on the map?" Lin Wu asked.

~Ding~

——

SCANNING FOR TARGET: Please wait a moment…

SCAN COMPLETED: No signs of target found in the city area.

——

Just as the stem finished its scan, Shirong had reached the courtyard where the two were staying at. He looked around but didn't find them there. He checked every room, yet there was no one here, neither was there any message or letter left behind.

He then called for the servants of this courtyard and asked them where the two had gone and their last sighting. He received the same answer that they had left the city.

"This does not seem right…" Shirong muttered to himself.

His mind started to wander, and thoughts of different possibilities appeared in his head. But there was no concrete conclusion he could come to.

"Looks like I'll get my answers in the Lu clan only," Shirong said to himself before leaving the courtyard and going towards the Lu clan's location.

'This is getting interesting…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

A couple of minutes later, Shirong was standing in front of the Lu Clan's gates. The guards and the other people that were there instantly recognized him and greeted him.

"Greetings, young master Shirong! What brings you here? Do you want to meet the clan head?" The guards asked, guessing the most likely reason.

"Yes, I need to see him urgently this very instant," Shirong replied in a stern voice.
