Outside the Main Hall lay a swath of profound darkness.
"Hoo!"
Yi Xing let out a heavy breath, stepped out of the void, and nodded lightly at the tightly shut hall doors.
"Thank goodness. He's finally begun his seclusion in peace."
Beside him, his confidant You Hong's gaze shifted between the Main Hall and Yi Xing, leaving his head full of question marks as he asked in confusion,
"Boss Yi, if you want to keep watch, shouldn't you be watching Lang Yu?"
"Li Qingshan holds fifty-eight Authority Fragments. That's worth several 'Opportunity' harvests, and he has even mastered the secret art of fusion. What else could he do at a time like this besides enter seclusion?"
"No, you don't understand!"
Yi Xing shook his head gently, his expression utterly serious.
"Of course I need to keep an eye on that Ungrateful Wretch, but Li Qingshan cannot be neglected either!"
"Hmm?!" You Hong looked stunned, even more bewildered.
"This was an instruction he deliberately entrusted to me with earnest sincerity while he was lecturing that brat Zhihui earlier..."
As Yi Xing spoke, the corners of his lips unconsciously lifted into a faint smile.
"Apparently, that 'Crown Prince' Li Qingshan ran out of the Safe Zone several times back then, scaring him half to death for quite a while."
"That's it?"
You Hong shook his head speechlessly and reminded him,
"Boss Yi, Li Qingshan isn't an idiot. If he weren't certain, how could he so easily take risks?"
"Back then, if not for Li Qingshan, Zhihui could never have taken the Netherworld so smoothly."
"Now, the secret art's temptation is right before him, and Lang Yu is eyeing him like a tiger eyes its prey. No matter what, he wouldn't risk going out again..."
"I know. It's merely a precaution."
