"Master, where is Zhang Chen?"
Seeing Shen Hou come down from the second-floor study, Lian Yuxin hurriedly asked.
"From this day onward, Xin'er, you must act as though Zhang Chen never existed. No one ever came to my Shen Hou Mansion tonight."
"Why? Junior Brother has a kind heart. He couldn't possibly have done anything bad."
Although Lian Yuxin asked this, she had already felt uneasy when she saw Zhang Chen arrive at Shen Hou Mansion at a time when he should not have returned.
"Are you no longer listening to your master's words? From now on, Zhang Chen belongs to the Zero Realm. He is an enemy of us prison envoys. If you become involved with him, you will be sent to Judgment Tower. Go rest now. Continue your spiritual power training tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
Since Shen Hou had adopted and raised her, this was the first time Lian Yuxin had seen both his words and expression reveal the excitement in his heart. She guessed there were many hidden circumstances behind Zhang Chen's situation. Since Shen Hou was unwilling to speak of them, she no longer stubbornly pressed him and left the main residence.
Lian Yuxin still could not let go of her concerns about Zhang Chen, so she circled around to the rear courtyard to see whether he had left.
"Junior Brother is still on the second floor. I'll wait here for a while."
Lian Yuxin waited patiently for an hour. Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation came from the second-floor study. Worried sick, she no longer cared about being punished by Shen Hou. The Shen Hou Mansion's barrier prevented voice transmission, so Lian Yuxin could only shout Zhang Chen's name.
"Senior Sister?"
The energy of Zhang Chen's spatial fluctuation sharply weakened, and he teleported downstairs to Lian Yuxin's side.
