Seeing that in no more than two months, my first child will be born, yet to this day, I’ve found no way to return to Earth!

Who can understand the anxiety in Ye Luo’s heart?

To the outside world, he seems busy all the time in the Martial Realm, but who knows that in his heart, he’d rather be on Earth!

Staying with his women, which might seem unambitious in the eyes of others, but that’s what Ye Luo desires.

Be it cultivation or becoming stronger, what Ye Luo truly seeks is, in fact, very simple – the ability to protect what he wishes to protect!

Now Earth has become Ye Luo’s Divine Kingdom!

Now Ye Luo possesses the special Sumeru honor which may grant access to minor worlds!

Now, Ye Luo is no longer the novice soldier first entering the Martial Realm, ignorant of everything!

But what of it? The inability to return to Earth remains a pain in Ye Luo’s heart, an indelible pain!

How many sleepless nights has Ye Luo tossed and turned?

Because Ye Luo longs for home!

The Martial Realm, after all, is not Ye Luo’s home; the Martial Realm is merely the Martial Realm, but Earth is Ye Luo’s home!

Of course, Ye Luo also very clearly understands that some things may not work out as he wishes, but at least, Ye Luo hopes to find a way to return to Earth.

The Royal Academy, do you really think Ye Luo joined for Nalan Chen?

That’s just one reason among others. In fact, the fundamental reason Ye Luo joined the Royal Academy is that it holds the Great Tang Empire’s most core technologies and the most profound Cultivation Techniques!

It is the place where Ye Luo is most likely to find a way back to Earth!

As for the Heavenly Palace Corporation, Ye Luo is very clear that with his current strength, it’s not really possible to get help from the Heavenly Palace Corporation. Of course, it’s still worth trying.

This night, Ye Luo suffered from insomnia, although for a cultivator, not sleeping for days wouldn’t have any impact.

But even a super-strong fighter forms the habit of resting every night outside of closed-door cultivation; only with good rest can cultivation be more effective!

The next morning, Lu Yi came to Ye Luo’s room very carefully to clean, as she had been doing since she started following Ye Luo. However, today Lu Yi is surprised to find that Ye Luo has already gotten up.

"Young master, you’re up quite early today."

Lu Yi said with a slight smile to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo nodded and brought his thoughts back to the present, then asked Lu Yi, "Do you know about the Heavenly Palace Corporation?"

"The Heavenly Palace Corporation? Why does the young master mention the Heavenly Palace Corporation? Lu Yi indeed knows of it, but the Heavenly Palace Corporation can’t be considered a big corporation, its strength is only moderate."

Moderate strength? So what? Ye Luo only knew that this group was established by the powerful who came to the Martial Realm from Huaxia Country on Earth and it is also a power that secretly protects Earth. Although he does not know if the Heavenly Palace Corporation is the only one protecting Earth, it’s all he knows for now.

"Good to know you’re aware of it. Alright, stop cleaning, come with me, we are heading to the Heavenly Palace Corporation!"

After Ye Luo spoke to Lu Yi, he got up and started walking outside. Despite her confusion, Lu Yi wouldn’t defy Ye Luo’s order.

Unexpectedly, just as the two of them left the room, they saw Yun Liancheng already up early practicing martial arts.

"Brother Ye is up quite early today!"

Yun Liancheng greeted Ye Luo with a smile and asked, "Is Brother Ye going out?"

Ye Luo nodded: "Yes, I have some matters to handle."

"Handle matters?" Yun Liancheng was puzzled, put away his Cultivation Technique, and approached Ye Luo: "Brother Ye, as far as I know, you don’t seem to know anyone else in Imperial Capital besides me. Could it be that you were deceiving me before?"

"Brother Yun is overthinking it. I am going to the Heavenly Palace Corporation to seek an answer to a doubt in my heart."

"I see. I was wondering. However, I’m afraid you won’t be able to enter the Heavenly Palace Corporation. Though I’m not familiar with them, I do know they have a strange rule. Other than their own people and those they’ve invited, they refuse any visitors. I’m afraid that even if you go there, you won’t be able to get in through the main gate."

Yun Liancheng didn’t care what answer Ye Luo was looking for. The most basic line of trust between friends is not to pry too much into each other’s private affairs. After all, this is the Martial Realm, and everyone has their own secrets. Prying too much would only lead to mutual suspicion.

"I’ll give it a try. How will I know if I don’t try?"

"That’s up to you. Here, take this. Although my Yun Family is at least part of the Nobility, I can at least bestow upon you the title of an Honorary Baron. With this, you are also considered a noble, and that will grant you some conveniences outside."

The noble identity, albeit being the lowest rank of Baron, is in fact a title of honor usually bestowed upon important servants by great nobles, and it doesn’t even award any special privileges. However, it is still acknowledged by the laws of the Empire.

Ye Luo did not refuse. He understood Yun Liancheng’s intention; it was simply to make it a bit easier for him to ride the fee-free Sumeru Prestige or to facilitate some inquiries. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Thank you then, for Brother Yun’s kindness!"

Ye Luo took the token symbolizing the honor of a baron and promptly left with Lu Yi.

Since Lu Yi knew the place, and supplemented by the token of honor from the Yun Family, Ye Luo was able to use the short-range Transmission Array to quickly reach the Heavenly Palace Corporation.

Last time he visited the Heavenly Palace Corporation, Ye Luo entered in soul form, and his range of movement was extremely limited.

But this time, Ye Luo came to realize that in Imperial Capital, the Heavenly Palace Corporation really wasn’t all that noticeable.

What had previously shocked Ye Luo as a tall building was in fact, nothing special compared to other places in Imperial Capital.

Ye Luo, accompanied by Lu Yi, walked straight toward the gate of the Heavenly Palace Corporation.

"Halt, whom do you seek!"

Two gatekeepers stopped in front of Ye Luo, speaking without a trace of politeness—hardly the attitude you’d expect from a corporation!

Of course, Ye Luo had already learned from Lu Yi and Yun Liancheng about the mannerisms of the Heavenly Palace Corporation.

"I am Ye Luo, looking for Li Wuyue. Please inform her that Ye Luo from Huaxia is seeking her."

Ye Luo said with a smile. Even though the gatekeepers were not polite, he felt quite fond of the Heavenly Palace Corporation. After all, this was a power established by people from Earth!

"Huaxia!"

One of the gatekeepers was slightly taken aback. It should be known that the word ’Huaxia’ might have no significance in the Great Tang Empire or the entire Martial Realm, but within the Heavenly Palace Corporation, it had a very special meaning—of course, this was known only within the corporation.
