Xu Yi then thought that since this attention wasn't round-the-clock surveillance, perhaps they checked in on him at intervals.
After all, judging by their attitude, they truly had high hopes for him. An Earth Immortal—he hardly dared even think about it now.
So once his movements settled down, perhaps they would come around again.
Of course, these were all just assumptions and conjectures of his. He had no way of knowing whether they were true.
Still, that didn't stop him from running experiments. It was like beating a child on a rainy day—he had nothing better to do anyway.
With Huang Mei around, the experiments became much easier. His corpse aura was remarkably effective at concealing his presence.
At that moment, the Xu Yi reading a book was formed from Xu Yi's corpse aura and augmented by his corpse aura technique. Even Xu Yi couldn't tell it was fake.
The experiment itself went just as it had before: an assassination, followed by a feigned death.
After all, if he wanted to make the other party show themselves, he needed something earth-shattering—something that would give them no choice but to appear.
Xu Yi ran this experiment two or three times a day. He had already repeated it dozens of times.
Huang Mei was sick of playing a bit part. If Xu Yi hadn't kept him dangling with the Heaven Wish Bead, the experiment would have ended long ago.
Unexpectedly, tonight's experiment worked. He had actually hooked a big fish.
"Keeping an eye on you was an order from above. To be honest, I didn't think you were worth their attention before. I've changed my mind now. If you turned that mind of yours toward harming people, you'd be one of the very best at it. Even I fell into your trap."
