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

"Actually, there are no conditions required to take people away from me."

Ye Ge shrugged: "As long as Ye Zi wants to go with you, I don't care."

"Really?" Leng Yuening's eyes lit up.

Night Song: "Yes, of course. I never deliberately keep or remove people who want to leave me."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuening immediately came to Ye Zi's side.

She bent down slightly, half-squatting, and revealed a kind smile: "Little friend, how about coming with me? I'll guide you in your cultivation so you can become an immortal like me."

"Huh?" Ye Zi's blank expression froze for a moment, then she shook her head violently: "No!"

Leng Yue Ning was stunned for a moment: "Why...why?"

Ye Zi circled around Gao Shenxue and ran up behind Ye Ge, grabbing his clothes and only showing half her head: "I...I'm already Young Master Ye Ge's servant!"

Leng Yue Ning's expression was complicated: "You... follow me to cultivate immortality and become a righteous immortal who is respected by all and can turn the world upside down with a wave of his hand. Isn't that better than being a servant?"

Ye Zi shook her head vigorously like a rattle-drum: "I don't want to be admired, and I don't want to manipulate events!"

"I'm going to help Young Master Ye Ge do great things in the future!"

"That's why I can't go with you!"

The little girl gripped Ye Ge's clothes even tighter.

"..."

Leng Yue's expression was complex.

If Ye Zi hadn't been standing right in front of her, she would have thought that Ye Zi's mind had been controlled by Ye Ge's dark illusion magic!

But the little girl's eyes were clear and innocent; she didn't seem to be under the control of an illusion at all.

Could it be that the little girl is too young to distinguish between cultivators and servants?

Ye Ge smiled: "Palace Mistress Leng, Ye Zi has already made her choice."

"..."

Leng Yue Ning sighed softly.

"All right.

"Since that's the case, I won't insist."

"Keep this safe; consider it a gift from me."

Leng Yue Ning gave Ye Zi a green jade pendant.

"Oh..." Ye Zi blankly stretched out her hands and took the jade.

Leng Yue Ning then turned to look at Ye Ge.

She raised her hand and waved it, and a ball of light slowly floated out.

"These are one hundred Spirit Gathering Pills."

"Even if it's just... a thank you gift for helping Xi'er in the secret realm dungeon."

"Thank you." Ye Ge waved his hand without any hesitation and put the ball of light into his system inventory.

Then, with a serious expression, he said, "Don't worry, Palace Master Leng."

"Now that I've accepted your gift, I certainly won't easily reveal that you're a shy, socially awkward person who's too shy to even ring the doorbell!"

Leng Yue Ning: "???"

"You...you shouldn't spout nonsense!"

"I'm not socially awkward at all!"

Ye Ge nodded seriously: "Yes, I believe it."

Leng Yue Ning: "......"

......

The sun slowly sank below the distant horizon.

The crimson sunset spread across the entire sky from the west, as vivid as blood.

Above the teahouse in Wanjian City.

Chu Wanhe and Ye Shengxiong had been sitting here all day.

Black Fang had already sent them a message in the morning.

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, and an unknown little girl went to a magical amusement park together.

Black Fang has already arranged for other assassins to set up multiple assassination plots at the scene and is ready to take action against him.

Chu Wanhe was initially very happy when he heard the news.

A magical amusement park?

Heh, it seems that the little brat from the Ye family is still just a child after all.

Those crowded, bustling places are perfect for creating chaos, and then carrying out assassinations amidst the chaos.

Chu Wanhe's biggest worry was that Ye Ge would stay in the Ye family and not come out until Monday when the Ye family's butler would drive her to the War Academy in Asen City.

In that case, Black Fang and his gang wouldn't have a chance to make a move.

The War Academy is Lan Mi's territory, so there's absolutely no chance for her to make a move.

But now, it's undoubtedly a golden opportunity that has fallen from the sky.

In Chu Wanhe's eyes, Ye Ge was already a dead man!

After all, Black Fang is a killer at the Asura Realm.

In such a chaotic scene, killing a minor demon in the Xuan Realm would be something that could be done with a single thought!

However......

After Black Fang sent back this message in the morning, the entire assassin squad completely lost contact...

No further news came back.

Chu Wanhe knew very well that if Hei Liao succeeded, he would definitely send him a message as soon as possible.

In this situation, there's only one possibility...

That means Black Fang's assassination attempt failed!

Not a single assassin from the entire squad sent a message back.

This means that Black Fang and his men not only failed, but were completely wiped out! They all fell into the hands of the Ye family!

Chu Wanhe's hands trembled slightly, and he accidentally cracked the white jade teacup in his hand.

"Young Master Ye," Chu Wanhe asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure the map of the sentry deployment you provided is correct?"

“I’m sure.” Ye Shengxiong frowned.

He's been sitting here for so long, he must have already guessed the outcome.

It seems that the assassin sent by Chu Wanhe failed in his attempt to carry out the assassination.

Chu Wanhe took a deep breath.

He tilted his head back, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then slammed the cup down on the table.

"It seems we don't need to wait any longer."

"Without a doubt, the mission has failed."

Ye Shengxiong frowned: "Didn't you say that you sent assassins at the Asura Realm? And with the help of more than a dozen assassins at the Thousand Soul Realm, plus my map of the sentry deployment, how could you possibly fail to assassinate a mere brat at the Profound Realm?"

"How would I know?" Chu Wanhe's expression was somewhat gloomy.

He was already being quite cautious, and sent Mr. Black Fang to handle the situation personally.

I never expected such an accident to happen!

The thought of losing more than a dozen subordinates at the Thousand Soul Realm and one at the Asura Realm filled him with immense heartache.

"Then..." Ye Shengxiong paused, then asked somewhat nervously, "Those assassins you sent out, they shouldn't betray us, right?"

“No, not at all.” Chu Wanhe let out a deep breath and said, “Black Fang and the others are professional assassins. They all know very well that if the mission fails, they must commit suicide.”

"Each of them has a special toxin hidden in their body. As long as they use specific martial arts techniques to circulate their energy, this toxin will quickly spread throughout their body and kill them within a few seconds."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shengxiong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? That's good..."

Chu Wanhe feared retaliation from the Ye family, and Ye Shengxiong, as a member of the Ye family, was naturally even more aware of the Ye family's terrifying nature.

If Grandpa finds out about this, it's no joke!

"..."

Chu Wanhe remained silent, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

That's true, Black Fang and his gang will definitely commit suicide after their defeat.

but......

Why did he always have a sense of foreboding?
