Ashen greets the revered elder!
*Knock* *Knock*
A knocking sound resounded inside Ashen's room as a knowing smile crept up on his lips.
Though the knock had been done on the main door of the mansion, Ashen could hear the sound of the knock in his room due to the sound transmitting inscriptions and talismans of the house.
"Looks like the world's will has retaliated!" Ashen commented to himself.
From the moment he decided to kidnap Shiyue, he knew that the world's will will retaliate against him for it in an attempt to save Shiyue.
This was the reason that he didn't leak any killing intent or harm Shiyue in any way other than using his aura.
Even when he was pressuring Shiyue, his target wasn't her but a small flower beside Shiyue.
He had found this loophole in acting against a heroine.
If Ashen wasn't targeting a heroine and the said heroine just happened to be swept up in the act, then the world's will wouldn't retaliate against him.
