Chapter 685: 443
In recent days, Chen Yuan hadn’t had much free ti.
Aside from a few princes and so colleagues, his good sister-in-law also sent a gift. Actually, Chen Yuan could move freely in the harem with her help.
However, once exposed, it would implicate her.
He harbored no ill intentions towards others, nor did he wish to harm anyone.
After thinking it over, he decided to put the matter aside unless there was really no other choice, then he would seek help from his sister-in-law.
That day, after finishing his half-day of cultivation, Chen Yuan took a cold bath and sat leisurely in the backyard sipping tea, holding a letter sent from Qingzhou.
After passing the recent challenge, Chen Yuan had sent a letter instructing Liu Zhengsong to treat the people well, to make life a bit better for them within his capabilities.
Since Qingzhou was still quite far away, the swift arrival of the letter was mainly due to the internal covert operations of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
Using a Transmission Magic Tool was still too luxurious, reserved only for major incidents. On normal days, human effort was the main thod used, and after years of developnt, the covert operations of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau had spread throughout the Central Plains, making information transmission very fast.
The news received wasn’t surprising; overall, it said Liu Zhengsong had received Chen Yuan’s orders and reassured him. Besides that, everything was developing steadily and all was well.
thods through the court were never too direct, just a few lines were enough.
It wouldn’t let others notice anything out of the ordinary.
This was rely a matter of comfort. In truth, if anything serious occurred, Jiang He from that side would inform him, and besides, with Jiang He there, what could possibly go wrong?
Casually picking up a cup of Spiritual Tea, he took a sip when suddenly an excited voice ca from outside, and Chen Yuan calmly set down the letter in his hand, looking forward.
The visitor was Tao Qingyuan.
At that mont, he held a docunt in his hand and walked quickly into the backyard, smiling at Chen Yuan, he began:
“My lord, you’ve made it onto the Fengyun List!”
Chen Yuan nodded,, not too surprised since he had anticipated this event, and offhandedly asked:
“Which position?”
“My lord, you are ranked forty-eighth!”
“Forty-eight?”
Chen Yuan’s eyes slightly widened in surprise, he had thought that with his recent achievents, he should have been ranked after the fiftieth.
After all, Ito Ikeda was only at the beginning of the Heavenly Core Realm.
Unexpectedly, Ascending Immortal Tower had placed him in the top fifty, which was quite high…
In Chen Yuan’s mory, Xiao Yusheng of the Qingyun Sword Sect had seed to be ranked forty-sixth before. Could it be that Chen Yuan was now on par with Xiao Yusheng?
At least in his view, he was still sowhat lacking.
Xiao Yusheng was an established Heavenly Core Master with strong abilities.
With his current strength, he wasn’t there yet.
It seed Ascending Immortal Tower was frightened by his rapidly increasing strength and directly placed him in the top fifty, nearly mismatching his actual achievents.
Of course, regarding Xiao Yusheng’s strength, he definitely had plenty concealed. Jiang He had once assessed him, and his true strength should be around the thirtieth rank on the Fengyun List.
“Right, this is today’s published Fengyun List.”
Tao Qingyuan imdiately placed the docunt on the stone table, and upon looking down, Chen Yuan saw that it notably highlighted his duel with Ito Ikeda.
“Not bad.”
“Congratulations, my lord!” Tao Qingyuan said with a clasped hands gesture.
Previously, Tao Qingyuan had been sowhat awkward facing Chen Yuan, his imdiate superior. Seeing this, Chen Yuan had stated that they should treat each other as equals in casual interactions.
This had made Tao Qingyuan feel more comfortable.
However, following several events, such as dealing with Yang Hucheng and making an enemy of the Fourth Prince, conquering the Suru Illusion Realm, and defeating the Japanese prodigy, all these had established Chen Yuan’s authority.
Tao Qingyuan no longer felt that awkwardness, only joy for Chen Yuan.
He also felt fortunate for the good relationship he had ford in those earlier days.
In the present structure of the Eastern Imperial City Bureau, he, Tao Qingyuan, was the senior amongst the four Deputy Commanders, wielding the greatest power. Everyone knew he was Chen Yuan’s confidant,
and no one dared challenge his authority.
Even within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, he held not a small amount of face; previously, when he went to headquarters for instructions, even those Dan Realm Masters who had ignored him before chatted with him amiably, which boosted his status significantly.
And all these were credited to Chen Yuan’s influence!
“Such minor fa, what does it account for?”
Tao Qingyuan laughed heartily, saying, “It’s not a small matter but worthy of celebration. How about a few drinks at the Gathering Immortal Tower today?”
Chen Yuan slowly shook his head:
“Not today, so other ti.”
Tonight was the ti foretold by fate for the Seven Stars in a Row phenonon to appear, and he had no desire to drink any wine. Missing it would indeed be a great loss.
Seeing how straightforwardly Chen Yuan declined, Tao Qingyuan dared not insist, rely stating that they could celebrate another day.
Chen Yuan agreed.
As expected by Chen Yuan, once Ascending Immortal Tower published the new rankings of the Fengyun List, it indeed stirred up quite a storm. Many began to ntion Chen Yuan’s na again.
Saying his talent was unparalleled, and at just over twenty years old, he had ascended to the Fengyun List.
What was the Fengyun List?
It stirred up the winds and clouds of Jianghu!
Chen Yuan indeed made this reality, as many of his recent actions had successfully stirred up turbulence in Jianghu.
The largest reactions ca especially from Qingzhou.
Because Chen Yuan’s hotown was Ping’an County, Nanling Prefecture, Qingzhou.
In his own turf, the scene was inevitably more lively.
This was particularly true in Nanling Prefecture and Tangshan Prefecture!
anwhile, those storytellers had new material and began elaborately telling tales of Chen Yuan’s great deeds in the Capital, virtually exalting him to the heavens.
They said that he was now the most relied upon by the current Emperor, and that in the Capital he had beco a major figure whose word was law.
