In the end, he did not escape Ye Rong's discerning eyes.
Ye Zichen scratched his head as he looked at Ye Rong's smile. For some reason, he felt like he was caught by the teacher after stealing his phone in school.
"A phone from the Modern World actually came here. Can it still be used?"
"How is that possible? There's no internet here, so how can I use it? I brought it here after I left the Modern World, so I took it out to have a look."
What Ye Zichen didn't know was that his phone rang the moment he finished speaking.
"…"
"Even if you can't use it, there's still a message notification. Let me see what you're talking about."
Ye Rong chuckled as she clicked on the message that popped up and saw the messages in the group.
Erlang Shen: Only Idealism, why is he gone? You still haven't finished talking, right?
Monkey King: Is it out of battery? Idealism
Ultimate Charmer: Zichen, don't worry too much. I think Auntie Ye is a gentle and kind person. She'll make a reasonable judgment of Xue Mo's situation.
Ultimate Charmer: "Don't think too much and give yourself too much pressure. Aunt Ye is doing this for your own good."
Ultimate Charm: Idealism
"Is Idealism you?" Ye Rong read the information inside with great interest. She nodded and said, "The Great Charmer should be my daughter-in-law. As expected, she is someone I like. Her character is also excellent in private."
Invincible Adorable Beauty: "There's been no news for so long. Could he have been caught?"
As soon as Pu Jingwan's message came out, Ye Rong chuckled and typed out a message on her phone.
Only Idealism: Hello, I am Zichen's mother. There are some things I want to talk to him about. It's getting late. It's not good for young people like you to stay up all night. If there's anything you want to say, say it tomorrow morning.
In an instant, the entire group died.
The people who'd been crouching behind the pavilion all stared at each other, especially Pu Jingwan. She covered her mouth, a look of disbelief on her face.
"So I was right."
Pu Jingwan and the others gulped, then lowered their heads.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: Okay, Auntie, we'll go back to rest now. Have a good chat with Ye Zichen.
Erlang Shen: Goodbye, auntie.
Monkey King: Goodbye, Auntie.
Ultimate Charmer: "Goodbye, auntie."
Ding dong.
Erlang Shen, Monkey King, Invincible Adorable Beauty, Ultimate Charmer left the chat group.
All of a sudden, Ye Zichen was the only one left in the group. Ye Rong shook her head helplessly when she saw the message that Ye Zichen left the group.
"I wanted to say goodbye to these kids. I didn't expect them to leave the group so quickly."
"Mom," Ye Zichen smiled coyly.
"You don't have to be so nervous, would I really confiscate your phone?" Ye Rong chucked the phone back onto the bed. Ye Zichen quickly put the phone under the pillow.
"How can this kind of social media app be used here? And there's even a communication network?"
"I found someone to modify the software and set up a new information network," said Ye Zichen.
"You sure know how to think." Ye Rong knocked Ye Zichen's head. "If you could focus a bit more on cultivation, then you wouldn't be just a diviner right now."
"Heh …" Ye Zichen laughed dumbly.
Ye Zichen scratched his head again, then licked his lips.
"Mom, since you already know, I won't pretend anymore. I would like to ask if you would allow me to … "
"In truth, I don't really want to agree," said Ye Rong. "I know you're on good terms with that child, but you have to remember that you're the Emperor Star. The Emperor Star's starlight is more important than anything else."
"But she …."
"I know what you're going to say. That's why I'm so hesitant. I need to think things over carefully. Although I trust that the Hermit Emperor wouldn't lie to me with false information, I still need time to confirm the veracity of his words. In the meantime, just rest well. "
"Got it."
Ye Rong gently caressed Ye Zichen's face, her eyes brimming with warmth. "You have to know that I'm doing everything for your own good. Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. But it's getting late, so if you have anything to say to them, wait until tomorrow morning. Don't be fooled by how lively you look right now, but your injuries are serious. I can't guarantee that the starlight will be able to heal you.
It's a hidden illness. "
"Alright."
Ye Zichen watched Ye Rong leave. Just as she was about to leave, he suddenly knit his brows.
"Mom, I have something to ask you."
Ye Zichen turned around. "I went to the Xue Family's dungeon today. There's a demon expert locked up on the third floor."
"What's wrong? The demon race and yao race often send people to the sacred lands of the Divine Mountains to spy on information. Many captured demons and yao are imprisoned in those sacred lands, "said Ye Rong.
"I know that." Ye Zichen nodded, but his brows furrowed even deeper. "It's just that this demon expert is a bit terrifying?"
"What do you mean?" "I went to the dungeon because I wanted to lock up Bai Yulong for hurting Xue Mo. I wanted to find him a fiercer neighbor and torture him as much as I could. After looking around a few times, he still couldn't find a suitable place. Coincidentally, the captive general level demon expert on the second floor also said that the people on the third floor were more terrifying, so he wanted to go there.
Take a look at the floor. But when I stepped on the stairs to the third floor … "
Ye Zichen replayed everything that had happened, from the fear and trembling in his heart to his eventual escape.
As she listened, Ye Rong knit her brows. "You've seen your fair share of emperors, and many of them are hostile towards you. The auras the people on the third floor emitted weren't hostile at all, yet you felt like …. "
"I'm curious as to why someone like that was locked up in the Xue Family. Perhaps that's a bit disrespectful to Great Emperor Xue Yang, but I'm fairly certain that even Great Emperor Xue Yang might not be a match for him, much less capture him alive and lock him up in the dungeon," said Ye Zichen.
"It's strange indeed." Ye Rong nodded in agreement. "But this is the Xue Family's business. We have no right to interfere, so it's best if you don't get involved."
"Alright!"
Ye Zichen's mood was somewhat downcast. Ye Rong couldn't bear to see him like this. "If you're curious, I can send someone to investigate the demon's identity. But even if the Society of Saints and the Xue Family are on relatively good terms, I can't investigate too deeply, and the information I can gather is limited. If you really want to know, you'll have to start with the Xue Family, but you absolutely can't let Xue Yang know.
Do you understand what I'm saying? "
"Understood!"
Delight flashed across Ye Zichen's face. Her intentions were clear. Ye Rong supported his investigation, but he had to be careful.
In the end, this was the Xue Family's business. It was highly likely that the demon would cause a series of problems that no one knew about.
If the Xue Family found out, they might hold a grudge.
When she saw Ye Zichen's smile, Ye Rong couldn't help but smile as well.
"Hurry up and get some rest. Don't play with your phone anymore, got it?"
With that, Ye Rong pushed open the door and left.
