Ji Huan searched everywhere for Guan Shan, but couldn't find him. After calming down to think, she guessed he must have gone to the Sui Family's stables; he didn't really have anywhere else to go.
'But didn't he already tell them he'd go after the new year?' she wondered. 'Could something urgent have come up?'
'Knowing Guan Shan's personality, even if something came up unexpectedly, he wouldn't just leave without a word—unless it was extremely urgent…'
The thought of the word "urgent," combined with the memory of the bow and arrows he had taken, made it impossible for Ji Huan to sit still.
The snow made the roads difficult to travel, so she hadn't planned on going to Yeyang for the next few days. But it was better to make the trip than to stay home consumed with worry. She could check on the shop and then visit the Sui Family's stables.
'But Guan Shan took the horse…'
