Sometimes, the more you hope for something, the less it appears.
This is precisely such a situation. Previously, Ye Zhen had hoped that Tributor Du and Yan Cong, who were in the same room, would separate and go their separate ways soon, making it easier for him to act.
But now, Ye Zhen desperately wished for the two to continue their conversation, even if they just mentioned a hint about Shuili Island or the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill.
Unfortunately, Tributor Du congratulated Yan Cong and, without another word, left, leaving Ye Zhen thoroughly frustrated.
On the other hand, Yan Cong, after Tributor Du's departure, seemed rather excited, drinking a few glasses of fine wine alone. He then cast a talisman light, issuing a faint blue-green defensive barrier around the room before hurriedly heading to bed, sitting cross-legged to begin his nightly cultivation session.
