"At least tell me that you have sent someone to the Beast Realm to inquire about them." Yang was about to get crazy of anxiety.
"Of course I have, but according to the Beast Emperor himself, your father and uncle never arrived at the Beast Palace." Ember said as calmly as she could manage.
"Then maybe they never reached the Beast Realm?" He voiced his hypothesis.
Hearing this, Ember shook her head.
"They should have, since I personally escorted them to the Mortal Realm, before they flew towards the Beast Realm."
"Oh, I see."
The three major realms, which were the Beast Realm, the Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm, were only connected to each other through the Mortal Realm.
The Fire Realm was a part of the Celestial Realm and thus Magma and the company had to travel through the Mortal Realm to reach their destination.
"I have already sent out search teams for them and so have the Beast Emperor. Hopefully we will get answers soon." Ember lightly patted her son's shoulder to give some comfort to him.
It was at moments like these that Yang wished that he possessed greater strength. Then he would be able to personally search for his father and uncle and not be afraid of the unforseen.
After all, his level of accomplishment in the arts of fire wasn't even enough to hurt the weakest guard of any clan. If he volunteered to participate in the search, he would only drag down his own teammates.
"Are you going to eat some more, Yang Yang?"
A flash of determination passed his eyes, as he stood up.
"No, I am going to have some closed door training. But if you receive any news, don't hesitate to disturb me, mum." After leaving these parting words, he left and shut himself in his bedroom.
Witnessing this, Ember was secretly happy for her son's new found motivation but at the same time worried that he would push himself too hard.
She sighed deeply as she gathered the dishes and cleaned the table. Even though there were paid servants in the Palace, she still preferred to do certain basic tasks personally.
Her thoughts started to run as her body was on autopilot.
She was deeply concerned over her husband's and her brother-in-law's status. They must have encountered something unexpected.
Did they walk into a trap? Were they hurt?
She couldn't help but pray that they were somehow safe.
