It was such a small gesture that made the man certain he was not telling the truth.
"Should? Ye Yin, how long have you followed ?" the man asked suddenly, his voice deep.
"...One thousand one hundred years."
He t the master even earlier than the lady did.
"How have I treated you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yin imdiately knelt on one knee on the ground, looking up at the man with eyes firm as a rock, without a hint of falsehood:
"Master has saved Ye Yin’s life many tis and helped Ye Yin cultivate into human form. Master’s grace is greater than the heavens. Ye Yin is willing to follow Master for life upon life."
"Heh..." The man let out a light laugh without saying a word, yet there was a chill in his laughter.
It was this laugh that made Ye Yin dare not conceal anything anymore and reveal it all.
"...The Left Protector is in the Demon Realm."
"Demon Realm?" The man’s eyes narrowed.
"Yes, the Cat Demon Clan. Last ti Ye Yin deceived Master, the Left Protector led troops to attack the Cat Demon Clan again. dicine King Feng Liyan didn’t just coincidentally stumble upon our people guarding near the portal out of curiosity—he actually fled to the Human Realm."
"What did you say?!" The man was stunned.
"Master, your Vital Energy was greatly damaged due to saving the lady last ti, and your subordinate dared not report this matter, hence acted on his own... Ah."
Before Ye Yin could complete his plea for punishnt, the man viciously struck him.
Ye Yin fell to the ground, imdiately vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood, his chest aching so much that his mind seed to haze.
Seeing the man hurting himself due to his anger, Ye Yin ignored his own injuries and hurriedly got up to check on the man’s condition.
"Master, how are you?"
"You’re growing bolder—daring to make decisions on your own in such a matter. You knew Xiao’ai’s family was in the Cat Demon Clan. How am I supposed to explain this to Yingying!" The man clutched his faintly hurting chest, his blood in turmoil.
"Master."
Ye Yin was so scared he knelt on the ground again.
"Precisely because this involved the lady that Ye Yin dared to hide it. By the ti this matter occurred, even if I told you, nothing could be salvaged."
"The ssage I asked you to deliver to Zuo Yan and the others, did you deliver it?!"
"I did, but the Left Protector simply ignored it."
"What about the others? Are they all dead?!"
"The other Three Great Protectors couldn’t stop the Left Protector at all..."
"..." The man was so enraged his body trembled, his teeth grinding loudly.
"I repeatedly reminded you to be cautious and careful in everything, yet..."
So furious, the man was at a loss for words.
After retrieving his past life mories, he asked Ye Yin to convey to the Four Great Protectors that he would eventually return to the Demon Realm.
So besides Ye Yin and the Four Great Protectors, no one knew about his reincarnation.
And apart from Ye Yin, no one knew he was in the Human Realm.
Zuo Yan was able to find this place, absolutely because he followed Ye Yin.
"It was my negligence. I ask for Master’s punishnt." Ye Yin was aware that it was his own oversight and negligence that allowed Zuo Yan to find an opening.
Things have co to this point, and punishnt would be to no avail.
The man closed his eyes, suppressing the burning fury within him. After a while, he cald down and inquired coldly: "What is the situation with the Cat Demon Clan now, what about Ye Qi? And the Clan Leader?"
Zuo Yan made repeated moves against the Cat Demon Clan, likely already aware that Wen Xiao’ai was Yingying.
"The Cat Demon Clan suffered heavy casualties. Ye Qi’s whereabouts are unknown, and their Clan Leader is missing."
"..."
The more the man listened, the colder he felt inside, as his guilt toward Wen Xiao’ai threatened to overwhelm him.
