Early the next morning.

Ye Xunhuan and Olivia got up early and prepared to leave, to seek out the King.

After all, with Su Guyan in the King’s hands for even one more moment, Ye Xunhuan could not be at ease, so he needed to see the King as soon as possible to get him to release Su Guyan.

Even though this trip might cost him his life, he had no choice but to go.

"Olivia, don’t come with me!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly said to Olivia.

"What do you mean?" Olivia asked, somewhat displeased.

"The King surely has laid a trap there, waiting for me to walk into it," Ye Xunhuan said, staring at Olivia. "I have the Tai Chi Seal on me, so the King may not kill me, but it’s different for you!"

"You’re of the Blood Clan, a foreigner; the King will definitely not spare you..."

"But you alone are no match for him, especially since he obviously has premeditated plans..."

"I know that," Ye Xunhuan quietly interrupted Olivia. "Going alone to face death is better than both of us going, right?"

"And if I go find the King, you can keep an eye out for me from outside, using everyone you can. Maybe I’ll have a slim chance to survive!"

This time, Olivia remained silent, deep in thought.

After a long pause, Olivia slowly spoke: "Ye Xunhuan..."

"Let’s leave it at that!" Ye Xunhuan seemed to know what Olivia was going to say and interrupted her directly. "I’ll go by myself, you stay hidden in the dark."

After he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan did not give Olivia a chance to respond, raising his foot and walking out.

Watching Ye Xunhuan’s departing back, Olivia’s face was filled with complex emotions. She knew very well that Ye Xunhuan wasn’t letting her come because he was afraid she’d be killed by the King.

After all, anyone could see that the current situation was entirely organized and premeditated by the King, and going there was almost certain death.

But how could she leave Ye Xunhuan behind and do nothing? If she had truly wanted to abandon Ye Xunhuan, she would have done so long ago.

The next moment, Olivia took a deep breath and murmured, "I hope you can make it in time!"

After her words fell, Olivia used the Blood Concealment Technique to vanish from her spot, disappearing from sight.

Not long after Ye Xunhuan and Olivia left, Lian Xing arrived once more.

Seeing the place empty, Lian Xing sighed lightly, "What is destined to come will come—let’s just hope he can escape danger."

"Girl, aren’t you going to help them?"

A sudden voice sounded unexpectedly.

Upon hearing this voice, Lian Xing immediately looked around and saw a man lying leisurely on the rooftop, drinking from a bottle.

Because the man was lying sideways and had his back to Lian Xing, she couldn’t clearly see his appearance.

But just from his half-turned posture, Lian Xing’s face filled with excitement. "Senior, how...how come you are here...?"

"I’ve been here the whole time. They both sensed it, just couldn’t find me."

"Senior, since you’re here, could you help them..."

"No!" the man refused outright. "I only watch others face death. I don’t intervene in their lives."

"Senior..."

"Girl, what your master tasked you with, don’t attempt to impose on me," the man directly interrupted Lian Xing. "By the way, let me tell you, Ke Qinghong is here too. You met him yesterday, and he’s already suspicious of you!"

"You mean that middle-aged man yesterday..."

"Exactly," the man said casually. "He’s as insidious and cunning as the King, if not more so. Be careful, or your Lian Xiang residence will soon be wiped out!"

"Senior, how do you know?"

"I was drinking at your place yesterday!"

"But I..."

"If you could recognize me in a glance, all my years would have been wasted," the man said lightly. "Alright, I’m off to watch the fun. Want to come with me? I’ll take you."

"Senior, can’t you make an exception and help me just this once?"

"I can’t!" the man resolutely said. "Their life or death is none of my business, and neither is yours, though if you all die, I can arrange for your bodies to be collected."

"Senior, you..."

"Girl, don’t curse me anymore. For your master’s sake, even though you’ve cursed me many times, I’ve let it slide. Anymore, and I’ll get angry," warned the man. "I can be quite frightening when I’m angry!"

"Senior, as long as you help me this once, you can have anything you want. I even have a fifty-year-old bottle of red wine, and a bottle of Shaoxing Daughter’s Red..."

"Even if you offered me heavenly wine, I wouldn’t lift a finger!" the man remained unmoved. "Alright, I’m off to see the spectacle. If they die, I’ll help you retrieve the bodies!"

After his words fell, the man shot up, and as the breeze gently swayed, he floated away like a leaf.

Watching the man’s figure grow distant, Lian Xing ground her teeth in frustration but was utterly helpless.

Because she knew this man was true to his word. If he said he wouldn’t interfere, he definitely wouldn’t, and even if he went, he would just be a bystander. Even if Ye Xunhuan died right in front of him, he wouldn’t show any mercy.

"I’ll tell my master when I get back, and have him give you a thrashing!" Lian Xing grumbled through gritted teeth. "We’ll see how cocky you are then!"

With that, Lian Xing immediately left.

Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan had already arrived at the entrance of the Ye Family.

The King had anticipated that, once Ye Xunhuan learned that Su Guyan was in her hands, he would definitely show up, so the entire Ye Family’s gates were wide open.

Despite the open gates, Ye Xunhuan could sense several fleeting icy killing intents sweeping over him from the shadows.

Ye Xunhuan knew these killing intents came from the King’s men, so he paid them no mind!

"King, I’m here, come out!" Ye Xunhuan shouted as he stepped into the Ye Family.

Just as his words fell, the King’s hearty laughter immediately rang out around him. "Ye Xunhuan, I knew you would show up. You haven’t disappointed me!"

Upon seeing the King, Ye Xunhuan wasted no time and got straight to the point, "Where is she?"

"Relax, I haven’t harmed Su Guyan yet, but getting her now is impossible," the King said calmly.

"What do you want?"

"Tell me the identity of the woman who teamed up with you last time, and I’ll release Su Guyan..."

"I only met her once, and she wore a mask..."

"In that case, I’m sorry, but today you can only collect Su Guyan’s body!"
