The group chatted for a while. It was getting late, so they went back to their own homes.0
Su Yan originally wanted to ask Ye Kai to stay and let him stay in the palace, but he was rejected. Shen Nian did not attend the banquet and was still waiting for him outside the Imperial City. He could not leave him alone.
Ye Kai and the rest of the people at the banquet soon left the palace. The rest of the people were all the younger generation of the palace, and they all left on horse carriages or palanquins. Ye Kai, on the other hand, did not have this kind of treatment, and could only walk back.
On the streets outside the imperial city, there were still a few stalls buying various things. The buildings on both sides of the street were brightly lit.
From time to time, there would be groups of people passing by.
Ye Kai did not even glance at her as he quickly walked forward. He did not discover any trace of Shen Nian when he left the palace. He was worried and could not help but quicken his pace.
Behind him, a few black figures suddenly jumped onto the rooftop. The swords in their hands shone with a cold light, reflecting the people around them. Their cold eyes searched the crowd and quickly locked onto Ye Kai.
"That's him!" A cold and gloomy voice said.
"Understood!"
The four people around him acknowledged and then disappeared from the rooftop in a flash, disappearing into the darkness.
Ye Kai seemed to have not noticed what was happening behind him as he continued to walk forward. The surrounding voices and lights had all disappeared, leaving only the pale moonlight shining on the land. The place was empty. There was no one around except for him.
A gust of cold wind blew past, lifting the fallen leaves on the ground up into the air, causing a cold shiver to run down his spine.
He suddenly stopped walking and quietly stood where he was, as if he was petrified.
"Ye Kai? "Where did you run off to? I finally found you!" A voice came from the darkness ahead.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Not long later, a figure walked out from the darkness. His attire was no different from Shen Yi's.
"I finally found you. I thought something had happened to you, but it was so urgent!" The man complained with a hint of cynicism in his voice.
Very quickly, he arrived in front of Ye Kai and raised his arms to embrace him.
Ye Kai stood there silently, not knowing what else to think.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him and a sense of danger from behind.
A sharp dagger had appeared beside him at some unknown time. It was shining with a little bit of cold light. The reflection of the moon in the sky made it seem even more terrifying.
He reacted quickly and fell to the side. The sharp dagger slashed across his neck, but it did not injure him.
"Wave Bending Fist!"
He raised his hand and threw out a punch. The surging Zhen Qi surged like a wave and finally condensed into a fist silhouette that carried an inexhaustible power.
The shadow of the fist whizzed out and landed on the body of the man in black beside him. A huge force was used on him, causing him to cough out blood as he was sent flying backwards.
He stood up and looked at the man coldly.
In the darkness, that person had a sneer on his face. "Why did you hit me? I'm your friend!"
Ye Kai coldly snorted as he stared at the darkness, preparing to attack, "Who sent you here?"
"We assassins have our own morals. We cannot reveal our employer's information! "No comment!" The voice in the darkness was impatient.
