Yun Liancheng and Ye Luo had faced life and death together and had long since become friends. Thus, he naturally did not conceal anything from Ye Luo: "Of course, I plan to return to the Royal Academy. Brother Ye must also be aware that the Yunkai Sacred Temple will soon open, filled with countless opportunities, and I must go to try my luck!"

"Oh, I always hear people mention the Yunkai Sacred Temple, but I don’t really know what is so special about it. Brother Yun also said that the Yunkai Sacred Temple was built with the assistance of your Cloud Clan. So, does Brother Yun know what is so special about the Yunkai Sacred Temple?"

Facing Ye Luo’s inquiry, Yun Liancheng laughed at himself with self-derisive laughter.

"Brother Ye, you needn’t tease me. How could I be someone from the Cloud Clan? As for the Yunkai Sacred Temple, naturally, I don’t know much. However, each time the Yunkai Sacred Temple opens, although there are certain dangers, many indeed gain their fortunes from it!"

"Does Brother Ye really not know about the Yunkai Sacred Temple?"

Yun Liancheng asked Ye Luo.

Ye Luo nodded: "Yes, I really don’t know much about the Yunkai Sacred Temple."

"Could it be that Brother Ye is not a student of an academy? The Yunkai Sacred Temple is quite a famous existence in the Great Tang Empire, and every time it opens, the majority of those who enter are students from the academies!"

Academy? Ye Luo hasn’t been in the Martial Realm for very long, where would he have had the time to join any academy?

Yun Liancheng had a sharp eye and had discerned from Ye Luo’s expression that he had not joined any academy.

Suddenly, Yun Liancheng’s eyes lit up. Isn’t the selection of students for the Royal Academy just a few days away?

Although the Royal Academy generally only accepts scions of the Great Tang Empire’s grand nobility, those with exceptional talents could also be granted special admission. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Thus, at this moment, Yun Liancheng thought of having Ye Luo join the Royal Academy. In Yun Liancheng’s eyes, with Ye Luo’s abilities, there might be a chance for a special admission!

With this in mind, Yun Liancheng said to Ye Luo: "Since Brother Ye is not otherwise occupied, why not come with me to the Imperial Capital? In a few days, it will be the time when the Royal Academy selects its students. With Brother Ye’s strength and potential, the chances of joining the Royal Academy are quite substantial!"

Ye Luo understood that this was Yun Liancheng’s kindness.

However, Ye Luo simply couldn’t accept it, because if Ye Luo really went to the Royal Academy, what about Nalan Chen? And what about Nalan Rou and Lu Yi?

"If Brother Ye has encountered any issues, feel free to speak up. Perhaps I could help think of a solution!"

Ye Luo looked at Yun Liancheng, clearly understanding that Yun Liancheng sincerely wanted to help him. However, given Nalan Chen’s special condition, it seemed unlikely that Yun Liancheng would have any solution. Thus, Ye Luo shook his head and spoke helplessly.

"Brother Yun, I appreciate the kind offer, but my friend is in a unique situation, one that I’m afraid you too may not be able to resolve."

Yun Liancheng laughed heartily and said: "Is Brother Ye looking down on Yun Liancheng? You haven’t even explained the situation, yet you’ve already rejected my offer outright!"

Ye Luo pondered for a moment. Yun Liancheng’s background was not simple; perhaps he might really be able to help Nalan Chen.

Although Ye Luo himself did not like accepting help from others, the matter concerned whether Nalan Chen could still cultivate or even live a normal life in the future, and Ye Luo could not afford to be negligent.

Hence, after only a slight hesitation, Ye Luo revealed Nalan Chen’s situation.

"Brother Yun, without hiding anything, I have a friend who was ambushed and poisoned, his Qi Cyclone destroyed, and I simply cannot dismiss his plight!"

Yun Liancheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Indeed, a destroyed Qi Cyclone is somewhat tricky to deal with, but not unsolvable. As for the poisoning, that’s even easier to address!"

Ye Luo’s heart lifted with joy as he asked Yun Liancheng, somewhat excitedly: "Are you serious, that a destroyed Qi Cyclone can also be repaired? You should know that my friend has not even a trace of Spiritual Power in his body!"

"Ye Luo, do I need to deceive you about such a matter? However, helping your friend is not so simple, but I can confirm that there indeed exists a way to restore his Qi Cyclone! Of course, this method is in the Imperial Capital, and as far as I know, at least three powerful factions there are capable of doing it, among them, the Imperial Family can definitely achieve this!"

"Ye Luo, it looks like you really do need to come with me to the Imperial Capital this time. In fact, from what I know, the Great Tang Empire’s true experts, the genuinely capable people, are mostly around the Imperial Capital. If you want to save your friend, you can only find a way there!"

Yun Liancheng spoke with certainty.

After hearing this, Ye Luo didn’t hesitate at all: "Alright, since that’s the case, let’s head to the Imperial Capital to have a look. Come, Brother Yun, let’s go to the inn to gather our people right now. The sooner we reach the Imperial Capital, the sooner we might find a solution!"

A smile appeared on Yun Liancheng’s face. In his heart, since Ye Luo would go to such lengths for a friend, then if Yun Liancheng himself were in trouble in the future, Ye Luo would certainly not stand by idly. A friend like this was surely worth making!

Both activated their own Sumeru Prestige, quickly returning to Yunkai City. It was fortunate that both of their Sumeru Prestige had teleportation abilities; otherwise, to travel back to Yunkai City from the Chaos Region might have taken several months!

Ye Luo had said he was going out to buy a manor but had not returned for several days. It’s safe to say that both Nalan Rou and Lu Yi were quite worried.

But even if they were worried, they had no solution. Nalan Rou needed to take care of Nalan Chen, so these past few days, only Lu Yi had been searching for Ye Luo everywhere.

Of course, Lu Yi couldn’t truly find Ye Luo, because after all, Ye Luo was not even in Yunkai City.

...

"How is it, Lu Yi, did you find him?"

"I apologize, Miss, not yet," replied Lu Yi, her expression tinged with sadness.

As a songstress, Lu Yi was supposed to serve Ye Luo continuously once she followed him, and considering she had a special mission as well, it’s clear that Ye Luo’s sudden disappearance worried her greatly.

"Could it be that the Junior City Lord’s men found this place and captured Ye Luo?"

"Impossible, we are so far from Nan Zhou City, they couldn’t possibly find this place!"

Nalan Rou muttered to herself, her concern for Ye Luo evident.

However, just as the two ladies were overwhelmed with worry, the door was suddenly pushed open.

And Ye Luo strode in.

"Ye Luo!"

"Master!"

Both women’s faces lit up with joy, and they threw themselves at Ye Luo without a second thought.

Now that Nalan Chen has lost his home, the only one he could rely on was Ye Luo, and he was naturally extremely worried about him.

As a songstress given to Ye Luo, Lu Yi was bound to follow Ye Luo for the rest of her life, sharing his fortunes and misfortunes, and she too was filled with concern for him.

Thus at this moment, both the women rushed into Ye Luo’s embrace at the same time.
