Quickly the tournament organizers moved to check on Ye Chen and breathed a sigh of relief when they found out Ye Chen was not dead but severely injured.
Meanwhile minister Su was intercepted by the leader of the imperial academy whose cultivation was one level above him.
"There is enough minister Su" he said, pounding without giving Minister Su a chance to fight.
The stamina and strength of minister Su did not decrease much even though Ye Chen attacked him with various high techniques.
The difference in cultivation levels between them was so much different that Ye Chen would not be able to make him seriously injured, just an incision wound alone and one more wound that until now still felt very painful.
"Senior sorry we came to help." This voice was Lu Ping and the commander of Cia.
They want to immediately subdue Minister Su.
In order to weaken the spirit of minister Su, Commander Cia said "Your shell has been exposed to minister Su, surrender."
The leader of the academy felt astonished and asked the Cia Commander what happened.
Briefly, the Cia commander said minister Su was a traitor of the country.
Hearing this, of course the leader of the academy was angry, "Damn right, the condition of the empire has just recovered, you are adding more trouble. Unforgivable, your sins are sky-high."
With his full strength, the leader of the academy pounded minister Su aided by the commanders Cia and Lu Ping.
Minister Su was pushed hard by the onslaught of these three people but eventually gave up and was taken to the palace for inspection.
Later it was discovered that Minister Su had indeed carried out a movement of security intruders. Commander Cia moved quickly to quell all the conspiracies of minister Su
Only one thing stood out, the condition of the emperor who was still lying on the bed.
He was poisoned by minister Su little by little so as not to arouse suspicion from those around the emperor.
...
A week after the tournament exam.
Ye Chen had already recovered from his wound, as well as Lu Jia. They looked very familiar sitting together in the garden of Lu Ping's residence.
"Sister Chen," Lu Jia said softly "One more time thank you for helping me at the tournament yesterday."
Ye Chen who pretended not to understand said "What help, I don't feel like I ever helped you."
"Here is Brother Chen, don't keep dodging. I won't be able to forget your voice, not even in the lake."
Ye Chen only scratched his head that was not itching to hear Lu Jia Li's confession.
"Senior...!" Call Ma Dong who just came, "Look, who's coming with me."
"Brother Chen...."
"Sister Chen...."
Almost in unison Cia Sun and Lu Jiao greeted Ye Chen, except for Gu Xia who called out to big brother.
"Miss Gu." Sapa Ye Chen nodded and looked at Lu Jiao and Cia Sun. "You guys...?
"Sister Chen how the hell are they a tournament participant as well and a group with us, a period of forgetting?" gu Xia said reminding Ye Chen.
"I know" said Ye Chen. "I don't mean it, but I think I've seen them before but I forget where."
"Brother Chen, certainly still remembered a few days ago when helping the academy's students. We are the disciples." said Cia Sun.
"Oh yeah I remember now, I deserve to feel like I've seen you guys. This I return, I think this is yours." Ye Chen said giving the two rings he took from the bandit chief.
"Don't look at me like that, which I know is yours before. All the contents I have taken, the spoils of war hehe.." said Ye Chen berkilah even though he had suspected it was theirs. Otherwise, how could he know and return it to them.
Only Lu Jiao had her face reddened, no matter how, inside her storage ring were clothes including her underwear.
Everything was already in Ye Chen's ruffled time searching for precious objects.
Cia Sun himself had no problem with this, which he wondered why Ye Chen could see and take the item inside his ring.
The storage ring could only be opened if the owner was killed or indeed accidentally given by the owner but Ye Chen easily looted the contents of the storage ring.
"Senior, you are very good at resisting Minister Su's attacks," said Ma Dong who sometimes spoke politely to Ye Chen. "but you are also too reckless to block his attacks."
Ye Chen sighed then said. "Indeed it seems like I look reckless, but the attack I can't avoid let alone escape just like that."
It was true what Ye Chen said, He could not just escape, let alone the attack range of Minister Su was very far and fast.
"I didn't expect anyone to help me, the only way yes I had to endure while looking for a gap to save myself." Ye Chen continued.
"There is no way the tournament committee will be silent." said Ma Dong again.
"I know, but everything happened so fast back then and I also had to think fast" Ye Chen said. "Of course, it's all happened. Oh yes I saw your wound in your hand is healed, do you still intend to train the Soul Tread technique?"
"Of course I'm ready.when do we practice again? are you really okay?"
"Eh, not us but you. Have you mastered the theory?" said Ye Chen who made Ma Dong who had been excited become lethargic.
Ma Dong felt it was better to practice alone than alone.
Thanks to the training he had with Ye Chen, his techniques had improved a lot thanks to Ye Chen's direction.
"Ehem..ahem." Cia Sun who from just now silently cleared his throat gently reminded Ma Dong subtly of his intentions of wanting to join the practice.
Ma Dong recalled his intention this friend then said to Ye Chen and easily just like that.
I don't know who started, Gu Xia, Lu Jiao and Lu Jia Li suddenly wanted to join the training as well and once again Ye Chen just agreed.
The familiar atmosphere slowly formed from the six young people who could be said to be one generation.
Especially Lu Jiao who had once felt Ye Chen's attitude was too cold. He had already forgotten his messy clothes inside his ring.
Tok...
The knocking on the door stopped the conversation, after seeing that he was Lu Ping's man who was carrying a message for Ye Chen, telling him to meet him because there was something He was going to tell him.
"Well see you soon, tomorrow we can practice together if you have time" Ye Chen said and went to see Lu Ping with Lu Ping's men. "Uncle please show me the way."
...
"Ye Chen's! hahaha I never thought you would be here either." Lu Ping said startling Ye Chen who was astonished at not understanding what Lu Ping was saying.
Looking at the confused Ye Chen, Lu Ping tried to remind him during their first meeting first.
Back then Lu Ping helped treat Ye Chen who had the back of the Blood Poison sect people.
"Protectors, it turns out it's you" Ye Chen said, thanking him for helping him first.
"Call Grandpa Lu alone."
"Good grandfather Lu."
