Chapter 840: Deepening Understanding

Yuan Datou is the type of person who gets fired up at the sound of a fight.

When he saw Ye Liuyun about to fight the Foreign Tribe, he couldn't help but be interested. Even if Ye Liuyun didn't take him, he would find a way on his own.

"Alright, then you join as well!" the Prince immediately gave his assent on Ye Liuyun's behalf.

For matters like this, only after he gave the final approval did Ye Liuyun dare to agree.

Afterwards, Steward Lu ordered the wounded disciple to be carried onto the Warship, and they left Eagle Beak Island at once.

"Young Master Ye, Sir Yuan, shall we return to discuss the details?" the Prince extended the invitation to Ye Liuyun and Yuan Datou.

So Ye Liuyun and Yuan Datou followed the Prince back to the Royal Mansion.

Back at the Royal Mansion, Ye Liuyun saw Liang Xinyu, Su Manning, and Wei Pangzi also sit down together.

He was silently puzzled, and the Prince began to explain.

"I sent those three to train as well, to get an early feel for the Qian Long Academy's environment. The real Qian Long Academy is actually quite similar to the battle you are about to face."

Speaking, he first handed the dynasty's reward to Ye Liuyun.

"The information you provided has been verified. These are some items from the dynasty's reward for you."

The Prince gave Ye Liuyun a Storage Ring.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense scanned inside and found a legendary Short Sword, a set of high‑rank battle armor, one hundred million premium Spirit Stones, and three high‑rank Healing Elixirs.

"Whoa! This dynasty is really generous!" Ye Liuyun said, shocked by the valuable rewards.

He had thought it would be only a symbolic token.

He immediately realized it must have been secured for him by the Prince.

So he promptly thanked the Prince. "Thank you, Prince, for your support."

This also related to the many worldly lessons he had recently learned from Qiong Qi.

If it were before, without the Prince mentioning it, he might never have thought the Prince would have spoken highly on his behalf.

"Hahaha! All credit goes to you; I had nothing to do with it!" the Prince said, but he was actually waiting for Ye Liuyun to say that.

He knew he could have claimed all the credit for himself.

The reason he mentioned Ye Liuyun was also another form of favor. Although the money wasn't his, it made no difference to what he gave Ye Liuyun. m.

Ye Liuyun's gratitude was not wasted at all!

The Prince immediately felt his effort was not in vain; Ye Liuyun was worth cultivating.

Then the Prince got down to business.

"In this campaign to eradicate the Lie Mo Sect and the Foreign Tribe, the dynasty will send high‑rank experts. Our Eagle Beak Island is only sending a 30,000‑strong Golden Armor Guard as reinforcement.

The commanding general will place you all within the Golden Armor Guard's battle formation, but you may act freely and need not march with the unit."

As he spoke, the Prince also gave each of the five a Token.

"This Token serves as identification for this expedition. Anyone in other troops who sees it will recognize you as allies."

The Prince knew that the few of them might go out alone, get separated from the unit, or encounter other squads, and had already made arrangements.

"The unit departs this evening. Do any of you need to return to prepare? If not, stay here for dinner and we'll leave together," the Prince asked for their opinions.

Everyone had already prepared and could set out at any time, so they all agreed.

Ye Liuyun, via the Divine Soul Contract, told Du Yan to wait for him on the spot. He had obtained a Super Warship from Tianhuang, so even if Du Yan didn't go, he could return at any time himself.

Ye Liuyun followed the group to Liang Xinyu's Side Courtyard to rest, while the Prince went off to handle troop deployments.

Ye Liuyun also understood that the Prince kept them together simply to let them get familiar, so they could look after Liang Xinyu in the future.

So in the idle afternoon, he chatted casually with everyone, deepening his understanding of them.

"Brother Ye, you really are low‑key! That palm just now was incredibly strong!" Wei Pangzi praised Ye Liuyun endlessly.

He had always thought Qiao Yunhai was the top young master, unbeatable. He didn't expect that before Ye Liuyun, he couldn't even draw his sword.

"Actually, I'm not that strong!" Ye Liuyun said modestly.

"Young Master Ye, you are far too modest. To cultivate knife intent to that level is beyond ordinary people. I wonder where you learned all these skills," Su Manning kept probing Ye Liuyun.

She also frequently used seductive techniques to ambush Ye Liuyun. While chatting, the Ten Thousand Gods Command warned him several times of Su Manning's seductive attacks.

This made Wei Pangzi, Yuan Datou, and Liang Xinyu frown. Even without a direct strike, they had to release Divine Soul Power to withstand it.

"Miss Su, I know you're a bit dissatisfied. How about we have an open contest, and then you'll stop constantly ambushing me during casual chats?" Ye Liuyun said, feeling a bit annoyed.

Having someone constantly ambush you nearby irritates anyone. Though he has the Ten Thousand Gods Command and doesn't need constant vigilance, he still dislikes being constantly targeted.

"Yes, Manning, when we're all chatting, stop testing him. Otherwise we'll all suffer," Liang Xinyu also urged Su Manning.

"Alas! Young Master Ye's Soul is truly overwhelming. I just wanted to try ambushing him to see if I could succeed. Now it seems, at any time, he's completely impenetrable."

Su Manning indeed felt a lingering resentment. Yet after many probes, she realized she could never get the better of Ye Liuyun. If she can't ambush him, a direct duel would be even more hopeless.

"Fine, I promise you all I will never attack you again!"

In the end, she gave up trying altogether, completely resigned.

After that, they finally chatted at ease.

Before departure, they dined together again; after drinking and eating their fill, they boarded the Warship and set off with the 30,000‑strong Golden Armor Guard to the rendezvous point.

The Prince's assigned Warship was also a Super Warship, so it moved at great speed.

On the Warship, Ye Liuyun and the others each busied themselves with cultivation, without idle chatter.

For Martial Cultivators, cultivation is paramount. Everyone seized the time to boost their strength.

In front of them, Ye Liuyun could not enter the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate, nor could he use the Foreign Tribe's primal pills for absorption. He therefore refined his Soul, flame, Buddha Demon Power, expanded the Space World, and cultivated common forces such as Heaven and Earth Power.

He thought this was fine. Those forces also required refinement. Whatever it was, as long as it helped improve his strength, he needed to cultivate it.
