Chu Ji didn’t want to leave, but there was no way she could refuse Chu Yunlong; she was taken away, forcibly dragged by Chu Yunlong, and Ye Xunhuan did not stop them at all, allowing Chu Yunlong to take Chu Ji away.

Because Ye Xunhuan knew that there was no benefit to having Chu Ji stay by his side, and Chu Yunlong was right in saying so.

After Chu Yunlong left with Chu Ji, Ye Xunhuan seriously admired the handkerchief Chu Yunlong had left behind.

The handkerchief embroidered with a mountain beneath which flowers were blooming, was extremely delicately crafted.

What connection does this handkerchief have with the king, or does it contain some hidden secret?

Ye Xunhuan didn’t know; he wanted to ask Chu Yunlong, but Chu Yunlong had already disappeared into the vast night with Chu Ji, nowhere to be found!

At this moment, inside the carriage, Chu Ji angerly stared at Chu Yunlong and said, "Dad, you are actually friends with Xunhuan’s mother, why..."

"Don’t bother trying to get words out of me." Chu Yunlong immediately interrupted Chu Ji: "I will absolutely not tell you, and neither does he want you to know."

"Dad..."

"Chu Ji, it’s not that I won’t tell you, but that knowing too much about certain matters will only add to one’s troubles."

"Alright, I won’t ask, but tell me, is Xunhuan in danger?"

Chu Yunlong pondered briefly, then nodded and said, "Yes, very dangerous."

"Is there a threat to his life?"

"Kind of!" Chu Yunlong said softly: "It’s all still uncertain."

Saying this, Chu Yunlong sighed slightly, knowing that an invisible storm had been set in motion the moment Ye Xunhuan stepped into Southeast City, and with only a day left, this storm would completely land in Southeast City and unfold there.

Chu Ji’s face immediately showed a panicked expression: "Dad, you can help Xunhuan, right? You must be able to help him, right?"

Chu Yunlong did not speak, immediately fell into silence.

"Dad..."

"Chu Ji, don’t leave the house in these three days, stay home well." Chu Yunlong suddenly spoke, directly imposing a house arrest on Chu Ji!

"Why?"

"No reason!" Chu Yunlong said lightly: "In the past three days, wherever you wanted to go, I never stopped you, but these three days, you absolutely cannot leave the house!"

"Dad..."

"I’ll have someone watch over you." Chu Yunlong said with great resolve.

Hearing Chu Yunlong’s words, Chu Ji’s face slowly showed thick helplessness and bitterness.

As for Chu Yunlong’s temperament, Chu Ji understood very well; now that Chu Yunlong said not to let her leave the house even a step, she might as well not even think about stepping outside!

...

Time flew quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the three days given by the king had passed, yet Ye Xunhuan still remained in Southeast City.

For the past two days, he did nothing, did absolutely nothing, completely stayed at the hotel, and neither Chu Ji nor Chu Jiangyue came to disturb Ye Xunhuan, allowing him to rest thoroughly.

However today, Ye Xunhuan didn’t continue staying in the hotel; he went to the mountain that Qiu Ruoxi had taken him to before, a mountain relatively close to the Xiahou family, and furthermore, Ye Xunhuan entered the temple.

Perhaps due to the weather, or maybe because it’s not a holiday, it was nowhere near as bustling as when Ye Xunhuan last came; it felt somewhat deserted.

Ye Xunhuan began to wander leisurely inside the temple, looking relaxed as if he were sightseeing and touring.

Time quietly slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon; just as Ye Xunhuan was about to find a place to eat, a dark shadow appeared in front of Ye Xunhuan like a rose in a swoosh.

This sudden change slightly altered Ye Xunhuan’s expression, and his entire body immediately tensed up.

But when Ye Xunhuan saw who it was, he immediately let out a breath of relief: "You really have a lot of spies; I just arrived here not long ago, and you already caught up!"

"Eager for my death, aren’t you?"

The person is none other than the king.

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the king chuckled lightly: "I just wanted to tell you that I’m very punctual!"

"Since the Xiahou family did not follow my orders, I had to come, but don’t worry, I’ve notified some people, they’ll all be here soon." The king said blandly: "Of course, the Xiahou family knows you’ve come here!"

"And presumably they’ll be here soon."

"It seems this place will become the eye of the storm." Ye Xunhuan said softly.

"It won’t be this place becoming the eye of the storm, it’s that your appearance there means the eye of the storm." The king said lightly: "It’s you who decides this, not us!"

"Indeed!" Ye Xunhuan nodded in agreement: "You are just like dogs led by me, wherever I go, you must follow."

Faced with Ye Xunhuan’s sharp tongue, the king didn’t care, nor did he argue with Ye Xunhuan.

"Ready to receive my judgment?"

"Isn’t it all a matter of outcome?"

"Indeed it is!"

"Then do I still need to prepare?" Ye Xunhuan smiled: "But are you so sure you can kill me?"

"I know your injuries are mostly healed, regular people are indeed not your opponents." The king said softly: "But you must remember that a tiger can’t stand against a pack of wolves, especially when there’s me here!"

"Yes, there’s you here, the most painful opponent." Ye Xunhuan said helplessly: "But king, I still won’t give up like this."

"I know." The king was unsurprised, spoke calmly: "Even a fish will struggle for a while when caught in a fishing net, let alone a person, especially someone like you, Ye Xunhuan, the overlord of the underworld, the marshal, how could you wait for death so easily!"

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan and the king seemed like old friends who hadn’t seen each other in years, casually chatting about trivial topics.

But both knew in their hearts, the scene and reality were completely opposite, they were enemies, not friends, the kind of enemies who both wished each other dead!

"There’s still some time now, tell me if you have any last words!"

"Are you killing me this time?"

"Because I only have time now, when you fall into my hands, our conversation won’t be so peaceful." The king said gently: "Tell me, if you have last words, if I can help you with them, I’ll try my best to do it!"

"Why don’t you tell me your last words first, after all, it’s still uncertain who will win this time!"
