The next day!
A group of people left Prince Xuan’s Mansion in two carriages.
In the study, Chen Xuan watched the ladies leave.
Last night, Ning Xin planned to take them to play on Tianmu Island outside the city.
And have a barbecue while they were at it.
They would return to Moran City later for a stroll.
The schedule was packed, and it was estimated they’d return very late.
That ant he’d have to sort out dinner on his own.
"How about eting Ye Jinghong for a drink later?"
He hadn’t visited him since returning from the Imperial City. Considering he had helped in the Imperial City, it was necessary to express his gratitude.
Having made his decision, Chen Xuan began to contemplate the Rule of Space.
There was still 5% left to comprehend, and he needed to complete it quickly. He had a feeling that sothing extraordinary would appear once he fully comprehended it.
...
By sunset.
Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, bringing today’s contemplation to an end.
It wasn’t that he was slacking off.
But after long periods of contemplation, he felt very tired, and Spiritual Power was greatly consud. After all, it was a top-level rule that required comprehension and deduction, and even the Divine Soul in his sea of consciousness felt sowhat exhausted.
"If only I was at the fifth level of the Dao tier."
Chen Xuan murmured to himself.
Of course, it was just a thought, as he lacked too many skill points to reach the fifth level of the Dao tier.
"Let’s go, and find Old Ye for a drink!"
With that, he departed from Prince Xuan’s Mansion, and when he appeared again, he was already at the entrance of the Three Judicial Departnts.
"Haven’t been here in a while."
Chen Xuan smiled, and imdiately released his powerful aura.
Inside the Three Judicial Departnts, Ye Jinghong, who was handling trivial matters, was suddenly shocked. This powerful aura made him feel as small as a drop in the ocean.
But when he realized it was Chen Xuan’s aura, he imdiately cursed, "He’s really showing off."
"Gave a fright!"
"Damn it!"
This sudden angry outburst made Zhang Yuan’s face change, "What... what’s wrong, sir? Who upset you?"
He asked cautiously.
He was currently Ye Jinghong’s confidant, and usually, he was the only one qualified to stay by his side.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the second-in-command of the Three Judicial Departnts.
Although his strength was not impressive, even with Ye Jinghong’s help, he was still only at the Late-Stage Immortal Grade and couldn’t break through to the Profound Realm.
But even those in the Profound Realm wearing golden robes had to be courteous to him.
Addressing him as Lord Zhang.
This made Zhang Yuan feel quite satisfied, as those who once looked down on him now greeted him with extre respect. What could make him happier?
Of course, all this was because of Ye Jinghong.
He gave everything to him.
Ye Jinhong was like a second father to him, so if there was anyone in the Three Judicial Departnts who cared the most for him, it was undoubtedly Zhang Yuan.
"It’s nothing! Soone who loves to show off is here, go prepare good wine and dishes."
Ye Jinghong imdiately instructed.
Coming to the Three Judicial Departnts at this hour was obviously to scrounge a al.
Just as well, if Chen Xuan didn’t find him, he would go to Prince Xuan’s Mansion in a few days.
He still needed to discuss the matter with the fourth one and test his attitude.
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Yuan replied respectfully and imdiately went to make preparations.
There was only one person who could make Minister of the Three Judicial Departnts Ye Jinghong treat him with such grandeur in the entire Molan Mansion, and that was Prince Xuan!
anwhile, Ye Jinghong ca to the entrance of the Three Judicial Departnts, and upon seeing Chen Xuan, he unceremoniously jokingly scolded, "Pulling such a stunt is scary, anyone would think Hidden Kill is here!"
"If Hidden Kill were here, your Three Judicial Departnts would have been gone long ago."
Chen Xuan walked over, "The ladies at ho have gone out, so I’m here to scrounge a al."
"You really have a thick skin."
Ye Jinghong looked at him helplessly, bumbling an excuse for freeloading.
"Only with friends, would I do this. Co on, if you don’t treat well today, I’ll just freeload here."
"Get lost!"
"Hahaha..."
The two imdiately laughed together and walked inside shoulder to shoulder.
...
In response to Ye Jinghong’s instructions, Zhang Yuan was very efficient.
In about an hour, a table full of rare delicacies was prepared, and top-quality wine was, of course, indispensable.
In the room, Chen Xuan and Ye Jinghong sat opposite each other.
"Thanks for your help with the Imperial City incident last ti."
Chen Xuan stood up, taking the initiative to pour him wine.
Knowing his personality, Ye Jinghong didn’t stand on ceremony, nodding slightly, "You also gave the Ye Family a protective charm, thanks for that."
Establishing a connection with Qin Ying was sothing the small Ye Family wouldn’t qualify for without his relationship.
Since that day, his father Ye Fan even slept more soundly.
No longer living in constant fear that one day the Ye Family would be targeted by big families and then...boom, vanish from the Imperial City.
"It was necessary; after all, isn’t that what you wanted to see?"
Chen Xuan smiled, raising his glass, "Co, let’s drink!"
"Alright!"
"Clink!"
An enjoyable crisp sound echoed in the room as both lifted their heads and downed the drink.
"Ahhh—whoa—"
Chen Xuan frowned slightly, "This wine is really strong!"
"Of course!"
Ye Jinghong looked at him with satisfaction, "This wine isn’t the best, but even in Great Yu, it’s top-tier strong liquor. I specially prepared it for you, how about it? Touched?"
Saying this, he even raised his eyebrows at him.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Chen Xuan couldn’t help coughing, especially at his cheeky face, it made him tense all over.
"Mind your language, I’m not interested in n!"
If he wasn’t a friend, he might have slapped him already. Raising eyebrows! That’s really disgusting.
"Get lost, I’m not into n either."
