But the first shadow to reveal its trace moved through the Fang Family's territory and quickly arrived at the ancestral hall. With a flip, it entered the ancestral hall.
Fang Zehou was now effectively under house arrest there, but Fang Helling had not been cruel—just stripped him of his powers, forbidding him to leave.
This shadow strode into the ancestral hall; Fang Zehou hadn't gone to sleep yet and was kneeling before the ancestral plaques of the Fang lineage.
The shadow said, "Helling has gone out, and I sense something wrong. Should we...?"
"Let him be," Fang Zehou did not turn back, "As he grows up, it's inevitable he wants to prove himself."
"But..."
"No buts. It's true that due to my selfishness, the Fang Family has lost the most outstanding young man of the next generation. Now that Yun Country's trade routes can't be relied upon, compared with the other two families, the Fang Family has no future. If Helling wants to court danger, let him take a gamble."
