Led by Eunuch Lu at a brisk pace, Ye Zhen's mind churned with towering waves at this news.
Someone from the Heaven Temple had come, and they insisted on seeing him?
Ye Zhen wondered whether the Heaven Temple intended to use the official powers to deal with him.
The last time, Hexiao, the Thunder Hall Spirit Master whom Ye Zhen had killed, had been sent by the Lightning Hall Master to deal with him—only to be killed by Ye Zhen instead.
Ye Zhen could basically guarantee that he had left behind no trace whatsoever when he killed Spirit Master Hexiao, but that did not prevent the Heaven Temple from deliberately coming to make trouble for him.
If that was truly the case, then the trouble seemed rather serious.
The official powers were not something Ye Zhen could contend with at present.
That was Ye Zhen's most likely guess, yet two doubts remained.
His trusted aides, Gu Tieqi and Liu Feng—Gu Tieqi especially—showed no sign of warning in their eyes. On the contrary, their expressions had become somewhat strange.
If there truly were danger, the two of them could warn Ye Zhen at any time. Even if Liu Feng did not, Gu Tieqi certainly would.
Moreover, if the Heaven Temple were using the official powers to deal with Ye Zhen, then they absolutely would not and should not involve Princess Changle. Doing so would undoubtedly place Princess Changle in danger.
"What exactly do the Heaven Temple people want?"
With a thought, Ye Zhen sent out a thread of divine sense and connected it to Little Cat. The instant their minds linked, everything Little Cat saw and heard flooded into Ye Zhen's mind.
The instant that divine sense connected, Ye Zhen suddenly stumbled.
"Captain Ye, what is wrong? Are you all right?"
