Summary
After what was supposed to be a quiet night, the household rouses to discover that Xian is missing.

Synopsis
It had been a (mostly) quiet night on Taishan Island. Fu Zen and the boys had been out having man-time in town, the ladies had spend the evening in, training, studying and spending time together.

But come morning, Xian doesn't come in for breakfast. Her side of the bed hasn't been slept in, one of Fu Zen's favourite knives is missing and Rulu is gone. Further investigation turns up more worrying clues- her boxes of Chi Bending scrolls have been rifled through and there's tatters of a burned note purporting to be from her mother.
