Even though Chen Yuan refused, Tao Qingyuan felt that he probably still had some regard for him, so he laid out the plans he had for him one by one,
letting Chen Yuan understand that even if he didn’t go to the State City now, he could still have development opportunities in the future.
Chen Yuan thought to himself that it was indeed the case, and then clasped his hands in a salute,
“I shall follow your lordship’s orders.”
Afterwards, Tao Qingyuan also told Chen Yuan not to worry about retaliation from the Yagyu Family; in the lands of the Central Plains, these barbarians from overseas couldn’t stir up much trouble. If they truly were sore losers, then Japan Martial Artists would have no standing in the future.

After all, it was Yagyu Shinya who had initiated the challenge from the start, and Chen Yuan had merely responded defensively. He had already made his stance clear: any challenge would be a fight to the death. Outsiders simply couldn’t find fault with that.
Chen Yuan promptly complimented Tao Qingyuan, which was indeed his objective, to have the government shield him from the pressure of the Yagyu Family.
Then Tao Qingyuan changed the topic and seemingly asked offhandedly about the Saber Technique Chen Yuan used that day, which could rival the Yagyu Family’s God Slayer One Strike.
Chen Yuan didn’t mince his words, saying he had come across an opportunity in his earlier years and comprehended the Saber Technique from an iron shard. Its name was unknown,
and it was only recently that he began to grasp some essence of it. He had unconsciously used this technique during the exchange that day, prompting Tao Qingyuan to exclaim at Chen Yuan’s astonishing fortune,
saying that the technique was definitely one of the top Saber Techniques of the time, even if it didn’t quite resemble a Righteous Path technique.
But he didn’t probe too deeply. After all, in Jianghu, Demon Dao techniques are indeed fierce and powerful, and furthermore, the court itself has moved beyond categorizing Righteous and Demon paths, with many courtiers practicing Demon Dao Divine Skills,
He advised Chen Yuan to be cautious in his cultivation, as Demon Dao techniques and Divine Skills can indeed bring about rapid progress but some may affect one’s nature, which is detrimental to future cultivation.
Chen Yuan nodded repeatedly, indicating he understood.
As they talked, the two engaged in casual conversation. Chen Yuan was now held in high esteem by Tao Qingyuan, much like how Zhang Xuan had been treated before. Seen as having a promising future in such a private setting, Tao Qingyuan did not put on airs.
It took Chen Yuan a few months to reach the status previously attained by Zhang Xuan, which was indeed motivational.
To be aware, within the entire Nanling Heavenly Patrol Bureau, only the former Zhang Xuan held such a position, and even Nie Qi Yun had to be reverent when facing Tao Qingyuan.
Now, Chen Yuan was to be added to that list. It was uncertain how Nie Qi Yun would feel upon learning this.
Tao Qingyuan had also been investigating the incident where Chen Yuan’s mission details were leaked and told him that someone inside the Heavenly Patrol Bureau had been bought off, but so far, only minor players had been identified.
He suspected that the real traitor was among the several Heavenly Patrol Envoys.
After saying this, Nie Qi Yun was the first to come to Chen Yuan’s mind, because among the few Envoys in Nanling Prefecture, only Nie had a previous grudge and motive against him,
With the thought, a hint of killing intent flashed through Chen Yuan’s eyes.
The highly cultivated Tao Qingyuan easily sensed the change in Chen Yuan’s aura and looked at him deeply:
“Nothing is clear yet. Do not act rashly.”
The Heavenly Patrol Envoys were imperial officers, previously trusted subordinates of Tao Qingyuan. Without concrete evidence, no hasty conclusions could be drawn.
He urged Chen Yuan to maintain restraint, to investigate thoroughly first…
“Your subordinate understands.”
The aura around Chen Yuan gradually stabilized, the Killing Aura slowly dissipating as he nodded towards Tao Qingyuan.
Now was indeed not a good time to act against Nie Qi Yun. Chen Yuan’s true goals were opportunities and Reach Profound experts like Tang Qian. To put it bluntly,
was Nie Qi Yun even worthy of being his opponent now?
Without interference from others, a fully unleashed Chen Yuan was confident he could dispose of Nie Qi Yun in a breath’s time!
After spending about two hours in the Heavenly Patrol Hall, Chen Yuan even shared a meal with Tao Qingyuan. It had to be said, the treatment of a Green Envoy was truly exceptional, the ingredients were all top-notch,
outside, they would be worth at least fifty Silver.
Meanwhile, the drought in Qingzhou had not yet fully subsided, and many people were still unable to fill their stomachs. It was a case of the rich feasting while the poor froze to death.
But Chen Yuan just sighed; his sympathy was not intense. After all, he was one of the current beneficiaries. If a Green Envoy comparable to a Fifth Rank official had the same treatment as ordinary people, that would be truly turning the world upside down.
Saving officials before saving the people; if the officials don’t have a good life, how could they save the people?
Besides, this was not within the purview of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau. Governing the common people was the responsibility of the Government, a different system from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
Moreover, the meals for Martial Artists needed to ensure an abundance of Qi and blood, so naturally, they couldn’t be poor.
While dining, Tao Qingyuan continued to chat with Chen Yuan. His insights and experience were much greater than Chen Yuan’s, so he was genuinely interested.
From Tao Qingyuan’s stories, Chen Yuan learned that while Reach Profound Martial Artists could split rivers and mountains, they were still not beyond the limits of mortals. If not eating daily, at least every seven days or so, food was necessary.
Only those in the Upper Three Realms could truly abstain from grains.
Chen Yuan asked what the Upper and Lower Three Realms were?
Tao Qingyuan replied,
Thousands of years ago, since the Martial Emperor established his dominance over the Central Plains, sweeping all before him, and founding the Heavenly Dynasty, he started working on organizing the Martial Arts of the world. Eventually, after consolidated efforts from many powerful experts, the Sky-reaching Sixth Realm was devised.
