Yang Qing unaware of Xia Cangfu's plight, exchanged a few more words with him before finally making his plans to leave. Now that he'd gotten all he needed and his questions about the Xia clan answered, there was no reason to stay longer.
The only thing left was to find out whether the retainer clans had played any part in Bai Chen's kidnapping. Given how things had played out, Yang Qing felt it was unlikely, though it wouldn't hurt to get the confirmation straight from the horse's mouth.
As soon as he left here, he would head straight to the Xia clan's former grounds, now known as the Violet Feather Sword Sect. While there, he intended to uncover the truth from the higher-ups.
Telling them he was just from visiting the Silver Crane Sect would likely make them more forthcoming with any information they had. After all, those four clans had only dared to act against the Xia clan because the Silver Crane Sect had tacitly approved their actions.
