Unable to find An Jing in Xiyun, Xiao Changyi planned to search other countries. There were many small countries, and Xiao Changyi decided to start with the small country closest to Xiyun—the Nanchi Kingdom. If there was no trace of An Jing in the Nanchi Kingdom, he would then search other countries.
Xiao Changyi initially intended to use the name of the King of Xiyun to have the Emperor of Nanchi cooperate with him in searching door to door within the Nanchi Kingdom, but Nanchi wasn't Xiyun's territory. This might be a bit unreasonable, and it could cause panic among the people of Nanchi. The Emperor of Nanchi probably wouldn't agree.
Besides, they didn't know who had abducted An Jing; it might even be the Emperor of Nanchi himself...
After consideration, Xiao Changyi decided to secretly enter Nanchi to see if he could find An Jing.
Before heading to Nanchi, Xiao Changyi returned to the Xiyun mansion to see his seven children.
