Meanwhile.
Ye Feng was reporting to Ye Chao.
"Speak. What's the situation now?"
Ye Chao spoke coldly, without the slightest ripple of emotion in his voice.
Ye Feng drew a deep breath, then said, "Still no news. It's as though he's vanished."
"You can't even handle this trifling matter. What use do I have for you?"
Ye Chao roared coldly, his entire being seething with fury.
Ye Feng flinched in fright, not daring to so much as let out a fart.
It wasn't that he didn't want to search, but that he simply couldn't find the man. He really seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Ye Chao suppressed his anger. "Didn't I tell you to pressure the Qin Clan? What did they say?"
"They responded. They suspect he's a disciple of a secluded lineage. Aside from his name, they know nothing."
Ye Feng hurriedly answered.
"That's it?" Ye Chao asked.
"That's it. That's all the information they have."
Ye Feng drew a deep breath before continuing, "The main problem is that they've brought in someone from the Ascension Alliance to oversee things. Our people can't act too brazenly."
"Then have you sent someone to challenge him and had the registration office contact him to come accept the challenge?"
Ye Chao spoke again.
"Yes, but there was no response," Ye Feng hurriedly said.
Ye Chao clenched his teeth fiercely, unable to fathom Chen Wen's intentions.
If he truly wanted to participate in the Heavenly Mandate Selection, he couldn't possibly ignore the registration office's summons.
If someone refused to accept a challenge, the registration office had the authority to remove him from the Inner City Ranking.
Surely Chen Wen couldn't be unaware of that.
Then what exactly was he after?
Could he really be doing this solely to target me?
