Commander Cia greeted Ye Chen and asked him to sit down.
"I won't be at length" said the Cia commander before being cut off by Ye Chen.
"Sorry briefly commander," Ye Chen said then took out a small jar of wine. "Please, I deliberately brought this wine to the commander and grandfather Lu."
It is deliberately Ye Chen did to make the commander understand the problem in the restaurant, He was lazy to explain the incident and let the commander with his wisdom.
"Hahaha. I understand, it turns out so." said the commander. This arak whose aroma alone was already very tempting definitely made the city lord's son unable to resist his urge to drink Ye Chen's wine.
And given his bad reputation, He certainly would not have asked well.
"Okay, the first problem is over. Honestly, I don't really care much, but since you're involved, I don't want to think about it either."
While Lu Ping was continuing to drink, only nodding as he continued to drink. The three cups had run out into his stomach.
The commander glanced in annoyance, "Brother Lu, have you forgotten our purpose in inviting Ye Chen to sinu?" his mouth said but his eyes kept glancing at the small wine jar. His heart was unwilling that Lu Ping would spend all of it.
"Later on" Lu Ping said. "We drink first." he continued, who returned to pour wine. But only half the cup because the commander quickly snatched the wine jar from his hand.
"Brother Lu, I just drank a cup, you're three."
"Of the commander, this is only half a cup" Lu Ping said.
"Can't, look at this little remnant." the commander argued again while shaking the wine jar.
Ye Chen smiled, taking two medium urns for the two of them.
"Well, well that's the first, the second about intercontinental tournaments. Lu Empire did not participate.You certainly understand the reason." said the commander while drinking two and a half cups of wine. He should get the same ration as Lu Ping.
"I understand." Ye Chen said.
"Third, regarding the tournament prize yesterday. The Emperor allows you to take the territory of the Flower village as a gift. The emperor also provided direct assistance to rebuild the village as a reward for having healed him."
The help the emperor gave was ten million pieces of gold and five million pieces of silver, that was all. The Emperor could not give more than this because the chaos caused by the work of Su ministers still continues today, although the chaos that later emerged could not be directly connected with Su ministers.
Due to the safety considerations of Bunga village, the empire decided to take it off.
Such is the explanation given by the commander.
Ye Chen who was listening to this breathed a sigh of relief, He was also unwilling to deal with the empire, to be honest He was reluctant to be a part of any empire.
"What do you think?" asked Commander Cia to disperse Ye Chen's daydream.
"Eh, what's the commander?" ye Chen replied in shock. "Then notice that people are talking again." grumbled the commander then repeated the meaning of the question.
"Hehe sorry..," Ye Chen said as he scratched his non-itchy head. "I agree, no problem. Then I'll be right to the Flower city."
"Don't hurry first, we'll leave together later" said Lu Ping who had indeed left together while heading to the capital.
"But don't be long, grandpa, I'm getting bored here."
"For three days at most" Lu Ping said. "Oh yes this is a gift from the emperor." Lu Ping gave a storage ring to Ye Chen. "The others had their share and do not ask why the emperor did not give it directly. It's because you weren't present yesterday at the tournament's closing."
"I'm sorry, I completely forgot" Ye Chen said again from feeling bad about the pressure Lu Ping said as he spoke.
"Had forgotten it, the emperor did not take heart either. Besides, I and the commander thanked me especially when I trained yesterday."
"No, don't be, I don't expect anything in return." Denied Ye Chen when the commander and Lu Ping were about to give a gift as thanks.
Inevitably Ye Chen accepted it, there was no way he would throw it back. "Then I say goodbye."
"Commander, grandfather Lu, a gift from the emperor is more than enough, I just take the herbs, the others are not, sorry." Commander Cia and Lu Ping only shook their heads when they heard a voice in their heads.
"Brother Lu what do you think?" ask the Cia commander.
Lu Ping did not reply but retold his first meeting with Ye Chen. He watched Ye Chen's every move until he was injured.
"I understand" said Commander Cia. "But brother Lu, where did the boy get so many techniques from? and telepathy just now, couldn't it only be learned by a saint-level cultivator?"
"I don't know either but his talent is terrible for a child his age, sending voice messages at once for us alone has proved it."
"How lucky are we to be able to master it as well" muttered the Cia commander.
"You're right commander, ah if only the boy had been kind enough to give you a hint." this time it was Lu Ping's turn to mutter and then look at Commander Cia.
Haha...
Commander Cia was unable to hold back his laughter, followed by Lu Ping. Two elderly men who both fantasize about mastering telepathic techniques. Funny thing is, they speak normally when fantasizing.
"Brother Lu, we haven't been practicing for a long time, let me show you my new technique."
"Come, who is afraid, I also have a new technique." Lu Ping said and walked along, returning to the backyard to practice.
Ye Chen did not go straight home, He went to the usual place He trained with Cia Sun and the others. His intention was only one, concocting pills.
This thought came to mind when looking at the emperor's gift, there were herbs that He needed to ascend to the peak stage.
Ye Chen chose a cave for safety reasons and started concocting pills.
"Alright, now is the time." muttered Ye Chen as he held the two pills in his hand. This time Ye Chen managed to concoct ten pills.
Hap...
Ye Chen swallowed two pills at once, then sat down taking a lotus stance.
Days changed, but there was no sign of Ye Chen breaking through yet. "Still not yet." muttered Ye Chen and went back to swallowing a pill.
Day two. The air fluctuations within the cave began to center around Ye Chen.
While outside, in the imperial palace that was located not too far from the cave where Ye Chen was absorbing pills.
Lu Ping and the returning Cia commander jumped back and looked at the darkening sky.
"Brother Lu, it looks like someone will break through to the Sky level."
"Hopefully it is not the person who threatens the empire." Lu Ping said.
"Could it be Ye Chen?" suddenly the commander remembered Ye Chen.
But Lu Ping denied it, "It's possible, but it feels impossible, He is now just a high stage, it's impossible to jump straight up." Although hesitant but Lu Ping also doubted his own words.
"This...? Ye Chen inside the cave saw the change in him. "Isn't this the Sky level? ah it doesn't feel, the aura is a little weaker." Ye Chen speculated for himself. He who often felt the aura of the Sky level certainly knew how strong the aura of Heaven was.
"But this is stronger than the peak stage.Ah already, the important ones have gone up," Ye Chen said ending his cultivation. "Better to eat hehe."
