Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Moon Palace.

Elder Sun arrived at the palace master's palace early in the morning and saw two maids sweeping fallen leaves in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Elder Sun, the two maids quickly bowed and greeted him, "Elder Sun."

Elder Sun nodded slightly, then asked, "Has the Palace Master woken up?"

A maidservant bowed and said, "The Palace Mistress is traveling and has not yet returned."

Elder Sun was taken aback: "A whole day and night have passed, and they still haven't returned...?"

Strange, with the Palace Master's stamina, twenty round trips should have been enough, so why did it take so long?

......

These two days were the weekend, and there were no classes at the academy, so Xia Xiyao stayed at the Ye family's house that night and slept in the same bed with Gao Shenxue.

morning.

Ye Ge arrived at Gao Shenxue's room and heard two girls playing and splashing in the bathroom while taking a shower.

"knock knock"

Ye Ge raised her hand and knocked on the door, saying helplessly, "Didn't we say we were going to the magic amusement park together at nine o'clock this morning? It's ten o'clock now, and you guys still aren't ready?"

The noise in the restroom subsided. Then Xia Xiyao's voice came through: "Hurry up, hurry up, Xiao Ye, wait a minute~"

Ye Ge had no choice but to sit down on the sofa in the room and randomly pick a book to read.

At that moment, a sudden, inconspicuous shadow slowly moved across the ground.

The shadow seemed to appear alone on the ground, with no other objects around it, just as if you didn't see the person but saw a shadow walking on the ground.

Ye Ge glanced at it and asked casually, "What's wrong?"

The next moment, Zero's figure slowly emerged from the shadows, as if he were slowly rising from a dark swamp.

"Master, several suspicious individuals have entered Night City's territory and are behaving strangely."

Zero knelt on one knee and said in a low voice.

"A suspicious person?" Ye Ge paused, then asked, "Have you confirmed their identity?"

"They came from Wanjian City. I suspect they are from the Chu family." Zero's gaze was calm: "They entered the city in disguise and forged their identity ID, which is why I find them highly suspicious."

"Ten Thousand Swords City?"

Ye Ge understood immediately.

Ah......

As expected, what was bound to happen will happen.

It seems the Chu family already knows that Chu Ruohua died at his hands.

"Do Father and Grandfather know about this?" Ye Ge asked.

“I think they definitely know,” Zero replied. “They also have many elite reconnaissance units under their command.”

"That's fine then." Ye Ge nodded.

“These people are acting strangely, and ever since we started watching them, they’ve been lingering around the Ye family’s place, clearly with some ulterior motive,” Zero said.

Ye Ge said calmly, "Oh, their intentions aren't anything mysterious—they're after me because I killed Chu Ruohua, the son of the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City."

Zero showed a slight look of surprise.

Then he asked:

"In that case, should I bring them here to you?"

Ye Ge waved her hand: "No need, entering Night City isn't illegal."

Night City has always been open to the public; any human can enter.

Although their falsification of identity IDs does violate the laws of the Empire.

However, even if they were arrested for such a trivial matter and handed over to the imperial law enforcement officers, given the Chu family's connections in the imperial court, they would all be released within two or three days.

Meaningless.

There are only two possibilities for the arrival of the Chu family in Night City.

First, he came to the Ye family to demand an explanation for Chu Ruohua's death—but they had no evidence. When Chu Ruohua was killed, it was only him and Chu Ruohua, with at most Lan Mi, who was using her magic eye to check the situation inside the secret realm.

If Lan Mi wanted to betray him, she certainly wouldn't have taken him in as her personal student, much less spent 2 billion to buy him top-grade Spirit Gathering Pills.

The second possibility is that they're planning to play dirty tricks...

Ye Ge gave a cold laugh.

Clearly, their goal was not the first one, because if that were the case, they wouldn't need to conceal their identities and sneak into Night City.

Then it can only be the second one.

Entering the night city is not illegal.

but......

If the other party dares to cause trouble on the Ye family's territory, then things will be different!

“We can set up a sting operation.” Night Song smiled and glanced at Zero: “If they dare to do anything, don’t let them go back.”

Zero's eyes flashed: "Yes, subordinate understands."

After saying that, his figure disappeared into the shadows again.

......

At this moment, Leng Yuening was still standing on a large tree outside the Ye family manor.

As a peak Heavenly Revelation Realm expert and one of the top ten strongest in the empire, no one can see her unless she wants to.

"Squeak-"

The Ye family's large iron gate opened.

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao sat in a black limousine as it slowly drove out.

"It's that young master of the Ye family."

Leng Yuening murmured to herself, "Finally, he's out. Since he took that child named Ye Zi away, I might as well just go up to him and talk to him directly."

"Hmm... but how should I put it?"

"If I'm too fierce... I, the dignified Palace Master of Yue Ning Palace, shouldn't be seen as a strange older sister who scares children, right?"

Swah——

Swah——

At this moment, several dark figures followed Ye Ge and his car, flashing quickly through the bushes as they caught up.

Leng Yuening glanced at the departing figures of those people.

"strangeness."

“These people, like me, have been staking out the Ye family’s door all night.”

"They don't seem to be the guards hidden around by the Ye family to keep watch."

Suddenly, the light bulb above Leng Yuening's head lit up, as if she had understood something.

I understand!

"Hehe, as expected, I knew it!"

"In this world, there are indeed many people like me who, when they want to approach someone, don't know how to start the conversation!"

Leng Yuening nodded vigorously, convinced that she had discovered the truth.
