Chapter 597
Xie Yuchen stood there, staring in the direction they had just come from, feeling a little hesitant. However, after a moment, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "Forget it. Now that we're back, there's no need to make this trip again. Dad and the others must have something important to discuss."
Seeing this, Hei Xiazi, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward and patted Xie Yuchen on the shoulder, comforting him, "Hua'er, Dahua is worried that something bad might happen to you. After all, in his eyes, and in the eyes of all of us, you're still just a little kid who knows nothing. Dahua is afraid that you'll be fooled by those two's sweet words, which would be disastrous."
Xie Yuchen frowned slightly after hearing what Hei Xiazi said, seeming a little unhappy. He retorted, "Of course I know that my father is trying to protect me, but I am no longer that ignorant child. I have grown up and am capable of facing all kinds of things. It is time for me to take on my own responsibilities."
After saying that, Xie Yuchen suddenly shook off Hei Xiazi's hand, and with a little anger, he walked towards his yard without looking back. Hei Xiazi was startled by this sudden action. He stared at Xie Yuchen's back as he walked away, and kept shouting: "Flowers, flowers, flowers!"
However, Xie Yuchen turned a deaf ear to Hei Xia Zi's cries. He walked quickly into the yard and slammed the door shut, isolating Hei Xia Zi outside.
The servants who were cleaning around the yard looked at Hei Ye who was locked outside the door by their young master. They lowered their heads and shrugged their shoulders, and occasionally one or two laughters could be heard.
"Go away! Stay aside. Can't you see that I'm coaxing my wife? You bunch of single dogs!" Hei Xia Zi waved his hands impatiently, and drove the servants around him aside as if to drive away flies.
All of a sudden, these servants felt as if they had been kicked for no reason. They were very unhappy, but they didn't dare to talk back. They could only look at Hei Xia Zi with contempt, and then like mice seeing a cat, they quickly hid in an empty corner. They also gathered in groups of three or four, whispering to each other about Hei Xia Zi.

"Have all the things been delivered to them?" A low voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.
"My lord, everything has been delivered as you ordered. There is absolutely no third person who knows about this." The man kneeling on the ground replied hurriedly.
"Well, well done." The voice seemed satisfied with the answer and continued, "This is a reward for you."
After that, a hand stretched out from the darkness and casually threw something. The object drew an arc in the air, and then, as if it had eyes, flew straight towards the person kneeling on the ground.
The man didn't even look up, but just stretched out his hand calmly, and the thing fell steadily into his open palm as if it was cast by magic.
"Thank you for the reward, master!" After receiving the thing, the man did not open it immediately, but put it back in his arms, still with his head lowered.
"You should know what to do next. If someone asks, how should you answer?" The voice from the podium asked the people below again.
"Master, don't worry. I am accompanying them this time. As for the things, I just passed by there and threw some garbage there."
"Go down!"
The man stood up, clasped his fists, and stepped back until the lights on the platform went out one by one, then he turned and left.
The stone door slowly opened with a dull sound, as if it was pushed open by a huge force. However, the moment the person left, the stone door was quickly closed by an invisible hand, tightly shut, as if resolutely refusing anyone to enter.
"They will understand. You don't have to worry too much." A low voice sounded in the darkness, with a hint of comfort.
"I'm not worried about their understanding, but I know they will definitely understand," another voice responded, its tone revealing helplessness and worry. "It's just that he's too smart, so smart that he has aroused His suspicion."
"If He hasn't become suspicious yet, it only means that He is already struggling and His energy is probably not enough to complete such a huge plan." The first voice analyzed.
"I hope so..." The second voice sighed, seemingly not having high hopes for this outcome.
Atop the high platform, a faint candlelight flickered, illuminating the dark space. In the candlelight, two figures loomed, Qin Fuguang and Di Xin.
"Where is he now? Since Xie Yuchen and others returned, he seems to have disappeared. Even the group of people under him have disappeared." Emperor Xin's voice echoed on the silent platform, revealing his doubts and uneasiness about the current situation.
Qin Fuguang rested one hand on his forehead, the other on the stone table, gently rubbing his forehead, which had swelled slightly from excessive thinking. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. Ever since they learned that Hua Yu, Zhang Qiling, and Xie Yuchen had reappeared before the public, there had been no trace of them or their fanatical followers.
"Those people under his command are so arrogant!" Qin Fuguang couldn't help but sigh. "Their actions have attracted the attention of the Dragon Nation officials, and many of them have been arrested. What's even more outrageous is that they even dare to place their own people around the leader. This is simply lawless!"
Emperor Xin seemed to have anticipated Qin Fuguang's reaction. He smiled faintly, conjured a cup of steaming hot tea, and gently placed it next to Qin Fuguang's hand. Then, Emperor Xin walked behind Qin Fuguang, carefully extended his hands, and gently pressed his aching forehead.
"Perhaps they've been carried away by their previous victories," Emperor Xin said softly, "thinking they can do whatever they want, completely disregarding the consequences."
Qin Fuguang's shock intensified when he heard Emperor Xin's words. He turned around abruptly and looked at Emperor Xin in disbelief, as if he had just heard the most absurd thing in the world.
"Does He know about this? Doesn't He always boast that He knows everything in the world? How could He not even know this?"
Qin Fuguang and Di Xin were not ordinary people who became immortals. They knew too well the consequences of placing people around the leaders. The saying "I will not allow others to snore on my bed" was never just an empty saying.
