Chen Ye sneered inwardly, it seemed they were not here with good intentions.
He pushed open the door and walked out slowly, asking in a calm voice, "My fellow junior brothers, it's so late at night; what brings you to Baiqi Garden?"
Those disciples were whispering among themselves, but were startled by Chen Ye's voice and immediately bolted, like frightened rabbits, turning their heads to flee.
In their panic, they disappeared behind the thick shrubs in an instant, not daring to look back.
"?" Chen Ye was left baffled; he had thought they came to cause him trouble.
On the other hand, those three or four Outer Disciples ran quite a distance before stopping to catch their breath, only after confirming that Chen Ye was not pursuing them.
"Scared... scared me to death! How did Steward Chen suddenly come out?" said a round-faced disciple, still in shock.
"Exactly! I thought he had gone to rest long ago," another tall and thin disciple agreed, showing signs of lingering fear.
