When Ye Zhen left, he did so without a sound. If not for having to take Ling Qianbi with him, even Ling Wangke probably would not have noticed Ye Zhen's departure.
Even so, Ling Wangke had not discovered how Ye Zhen had left.
Other than curiosity, Ling Wangke felt only delight about this.
The more brilliant Ye Zhen's methods were, the safer his granddaughter Ling Qianbi would be.
The eight Five Immortals Hall experts protecting Ye Zhen inside Five Blessings Residence only entered the room to investigate after Ling Wangke reminded them, whereupon they found the jade slip Ye Zhen had left behind.
By then, three hours had already passed since Ye Zhen's departure.
Since there was a jade slip bearing Ye Zhen's Soul Imprint as proof, it meant that Ye Zhen had left of his own accord, and the special security arrangements for him were thus concluded.
Mountain God Yi Xun was not surprised when he received the news.
If Ye Zhen could obediently accept their arrangements, that would have been truly strange.
After Five Immortals Hall withdrew its personnel from inside and outside Five Blessings Residence, Ling Wangke also departed without a sound.
At that very instant, Eunuch Fu, who had kept a thread of divine sense trained on the situation within Five Blessings Residence, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a soft sigh.
That sigh woke Yuan Hongying, who had been cultivating under Eunuch Fu's protection.
"Eunuch Fu, what happened?" Yuan Hongying asked.
"Young Master, this old servant was incompetent and let that brat escape." Eunuch Fu wore a shamefaced expression. "It seems that brat must have noticed some clues. And when he deliberately left Five Blessings Residence during the day, he was probably setting a trap to lure this old servant into making a move.
