Nangong Qin handed the box to Ye Chen and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny and finally helped Brother Ye get what I promised to help you find!"
Ye Chen nodded and took the box over without being polite.
Then, slowly open the lid of the box.
What appeared in front of him was a vine that was as white as white and as moist as jade, with a faint halo lingering on its surface, making it look extremely holy.
"Is this fairy root?"
Looking at the medicinal materials in the box, Ye Chen had mixed feelings for a moment.
For a fairy root, he crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and experienced endless twists and turns.
Now, have you finally got it?
However, he was a little depressed when he thought that this was just one of the medicinal materials for refining the Emperor's Pill.
For a fairy root, I went through so many twists and turns to get it.
How much time and energy will it take to collect all the medicinal materials to refine the Imperial Pill?
The most important point is that until now, he still doesn't know how to refine the Emperor's Pill.
This means that he still has a long way to go!
"The higher the realm, the harder it is to make a breakthrough!"
As he thought about it, he smiled bitterly and murmured to himself.
He originally thought that as long as he had the enlightenment system, he would be able to move forward in his cultivation. The bottlenecks and watersheds in the eyes of other warriors were all just jokes in front of him.
Now I understand that even with a cheating system like the Enlightenment System, the road ahead will not be smooth sailing.
You still need to strive for it step by step, fight hard, and achieve it.
"Brother Ye, don't worry. When I return to the imperial capital of the Yong'an Empire, I promised you that I will try my best to help you realize it!"
Seemingly knowing what Ye Chen was thinking, Nangong Qin said in time.
"Thanks!"
Ye Chen nodded.
He had no doubts about Nangong Qin's sincerity in wanting to help him.
Of course, he also understands that this is based on a win-win situation.
Otherwise, he doesn't believe that there is anyone in this world who can truly help others.
If he didn't have enough strength to help Nangong Qin compete for the throne, even if the other party regarded him as a friend, he wouldn't be able to spend so much energy on him.
…
Time flies by.
Three days later, Ye Chen and his party finally set off back to the Yong'an Empire.
The reason why I stayed for three days was not because I couldn't bear to leave, but because I had some things that I hadn't finished yet.
For example, Nangong Qin wanted to discuss many matters regarding marriage with the Moon Worshiping Empire, as well as the signing of a peace agreement between the two countries, etc.
Although these things may seem simple, to actually complete them requires countless complicated procedures.
In addition, the royal family attaches great importance to etiquette, and some matters that can be solved in one sentence require a long ceremony.
Fortunately, under the watchful eye of Harujev, the contemporary emperor of the Moon Worshiping Empire, the high priest Nasim Paduraide, and the civil and military officials of the Moon Worshiping Empire, Ye Chen and his party finally officially embarked on their return journey.
"Woo!"
As soon as we left the last gate of the imperial capital, gusts of strong wind hit us.
From the point of view, the yellow sand is endless, barren and desolate. Except for clusters of dry trees, it is difficult to see dense trees.
The world is desolate, like an old man who is dying, as if there is not much life left.
Walking on such a desolate land always makes people feel sad and melancholy involuntarily.
Of course, everyone didn't walk all the time.
Not long after leaving the emperor, Ye Chen sacrificed his pet bird, the golden armored lightning eagle, and flew everyone away into the distance.
In this way, the speed will naturally increase rapidly.
However, before flying too far, Ye Chen suddenly said, "We may encounter some trouble next!"
"What trouble?"
Li Fengyu looked over and said, "Haven't we already made good friends with the Moon Worshiping Empire?
Who else would take action against us?"
"I don't know, but I guess they're not from the Moon Worshiping Empire!"
“If it’s not the Moon Worshiping Empire, who else could it be?”
Before Ye Chen could say anything else, Li Fengyu seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes flashed, "You mean, those princes who failed to be elected are unwilling to accept the election and are ready to seek revenge?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I'll know when they show up!"
Ye Chen was slightly looking forward to it.
Ever since he left the capital of the Moon Worshiping Empire, he had a vague feeling that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark.
But who it is, he can't be sure yet.
"In which direction, why didn't I notice it at all?"
Li Fengyu glanced around, then used his senses to sense it carefully.
But, nothing!
"You don't have to look for it. The human body in the dark is very strange. I tried to find it several times, but every time I started to move, the aura in the dark would disappear immediately!"
"How could someone escape your tracking?"
Li Fengyu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At the same time, she was also a little worried.
Although Ye Chen's cultivation level is not high, his perception is far above hers.
If the person in the dark can really escape Ye Chen's perception, it shows how extraordinary the other party is.
"Master Ye, since there is danger, why don't we return to the imperial capital first!"
Princess Sarah, who was following Nangong Qin, suggested: "After we go back, I can ask my father to send a group of wizards to escort us on the road!"
"No need, just go on the road normally!"
Ye Chen shook his head.
"But……"
Sara wanted to say something else, but was instantly interrupted by Nangong Qin, "I believe Brother Ye, as long as he is here, no one in the entire Moon Worshiping Empire can pose a threat to us!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly, "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, are you so trustworthy?"
"If you can't believe it, who can I believe?"
Nangong Qin smiled and said, "When we return to the empire this time, there may be a bigger storm waiting for us. Whether we can turn things around and calm down the chaos in the imperial capital depends on you, Brother Ye!"
"Aren't you afraid of trusting the wrong person?"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I can't even trust myself, so aren't you afraid of trusting the wrong person?"
"I'm willing to bet everything on Brother Ye!"
Nangong Qin made a decisive decision.
Ye Chen did not answer, but a strange look flashed unnoticeably in his eyes.
Although he had known for a long time that Nangong Qin was determined to fight for the throne, he still felt a little disgusted that the other party placed all his hopes on himself, an outsider.
After all, he had no intention of getting involved in the whirlpool of power in the Yong'an Empire. He just wanted to get what he wanted and stay away from this land of right and wrong.
"Brother Ye, I know what you want. Don't worry, as long as I can gain a foothold in the imperial capital, I will do my best to help you get it!"
Nangong Qin reminded him again at the right time.
Now Ye Chen was even more disgusted. He no longer cared about whether the relationship would become tense. He said directly: "Your Highness, are you threatening me?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
