Inside Five Blessings Residence, Big Ear Nie Ting repeated to Ye Zhen, word for word, what he had overheard Yuan Hongying and Granny Mao say.
As the one recounting it, Big Ear wore a grave expression, his heart heavy with worry. Yet Ye Zhen, the person directly involved, burst into laughter when he heard the end.
Over the years since Ye Zhen had made his name, he had accumulated countless enemies. Those who wanted him dead were beyond number, yet he was still alive and well today.
As for Yuan Hongying, he was no more than a spoiled rich second-generation heir. If it truly came down to risking his life, he would definitely be the sort who looked fierce but was weak at heart. Besides, they had already crossed hands once, and Ye Zhen had more or less sounded out Yuan Hongying's true measure. Ye Zhen truly did not regard him as a threat.
Then there was Granny Mao, who wanted to kill Ye Zhen to vent Yuan Hongying's anger. Though her cultivation had reached the World King Realm Ninth Heaven Peak, Ye Zhen did not fear her either.
Even if he could not defeat her, escaping with his life would not be a problem.
What Ye Zhen truly feared was Eunuch Fu, who had barely spoken from beginning to end. Though Eunuch Fu had not revealed much of his aura, even a casual glance from him made Ye Zhen, who had weathered countless great and small battles, feel his scalp tingle. He was absolutely no simple character.
"Don't concern yourself with those three. When you have nothing else to do, keep an eye out for anyone mentioning heavenly and earthly spiritual treasures that can replenish origin power. If there are any, notify me immediately," Ye Zhen instructed.
