After dinner, Chen Yaogzu and Chen Yuxin went into the cave, seemingly to discuss family matters, so Ye Shikai withdrew. His purpose here was to investigate the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect deep in the mountains. Now that no one was around, he could go and meet up with Ji Qian and the others.
Although he needed to avoid Chen Yuxin, he couldn't just leave without a word, or she would worry. So Ye Shikai specifically wrote a note and placed it on the table outside. This way, even if Chen Yuxin noticed Ye Shikai's departure, she wouldn't be so anxious as to search the mountain. As for the reason for leaving, Ye Shikai simply said he was taking a stroll in the mountain.
With the memory of entering the mountain just moments ago, Ye Shikai quickly retraced his steps out. The mountain was large, and not the entire mountain range was covered by Chen Yaogzu's Array, only the mountain where he cultivated. So once out, things were normal.
