Yang Kai soon returned to Shen Tu’s palace.

Several guards who were silently protecting the entrance greeted him respectfully as he arrived.

“Did you come back, Brother Yang?” Shen Tu’s voice suddenly sounded from the inside and he soon walked out with a big smile and welcomed him.

“Did President Ai Ou finally set you free?” Yang Kai looked at him with a smile.

Shen Tu’s mouth couldn’t help twitching slightly as a look of annoyance appeared on his face, “Don’t mention this, this time I almost lost a layer of skin… En, come inside, we can talk more there.”

Enthusiastically receiving him, Shen Tu walked side by side with Yang Kai, asking about where he had gone during this time and how come he had not seen him for so long.

Yang Kai gave him a simple summary of his trip before suddenly frowning, “There’s an incident I have to tell you about.”

“What incident?” Shen Tu saw his expression become dignified and also put on a serious look.

Yang Kai first glanced around cautiously.

Jia Long, who had been following Shen Tu, quickly said, “Little brother may rest assured, there is no need to worry about what you say here leaking out, everyone within the palace is completely loyal to the Young Master.”

Shen Tu nodded, indicating that Yang Kai could speak without reservation.

Nodding, Yang Kai continued, “While I was out… I was forced to kill three cultivators from your chamber of commerce.”

“And?” Shen Tu asked.

“That’s all. After I killed them, I returned here.”

Shen Tu grinned, “Then there’s no problem, the Chamber of Commerce has so many people and there are always some battles on Water Moon Star. Every day many people die, if you’ve killed them then so be it, as long as they didn’t have some kind of extraordinary status, there won’t be any problems.”

“Their status shouldn’t be very high because their strength wasn’t.”

“Then relax, I’ll handle this for you. Brother Yang doesn’t need to concern himself about it any further,” Shen Tu thumped his chest confidently, not showing any concern about the three dead cultivators from the Chambers of Commerce.

“You should let me finish explaining first,” Yang Kai waved his hand, “I didn’t intentionally provoke this incident, I was only passing by a remote mountain valley when I came across a group of people. After I spotted them, those three chased after me.”

“A group of people?” Shen Tu was surprised.
