This piece of news, once circulated, immediately caused quite a stir, as numerous trialists had witnessed Ye Chen chasing the Sixth Princess, but merely overnight, such a dramatic change had occurred, catching many by surprise.
Even more so, many speculated in secret about what had transpired between Ye Chen and the Sixth Princess that night to eventually turn the tables, not only did he cease his pursuit, but he even personally offered her protection, leading to rampant speculation.
However, no one dared to bring up this matter in front of Ye Chen, fearing they might provoke the wrath of the Crownless King.
Half a day later, Ye Chen swiftly returned to Twelfth Pass, keeping his promise; he ordered the Demon Flood Dragon to leave the city gate, allowing numerous trialists to pass through.
This relief was palpable among the trialists, each fearing Ye Chen might change his mind and desperately rushing into Twelfth Town.
