nChapter 71: Heading to Yi City Again

nTranslator: 549690339

nChen Shou’s mouth was a little clumsy. Facing Chen Yang’s words, he could only nod his head forcefully.

nBefore leaving, Chen Yang patted Chen Shou’s shoulder.” Fifth Brother, don’t worry about the consumption of spirit stones.

nAs long as you become a blacksmith, wouldn’t it be easy for you to earn spirit stones for the clan?”

n“Yes!” Chen Shou nodded his head vigorously again.” Family Head, don’t worry.

nI will definitely become a Weapon Refinement Master!”

nThe next day, after settling the family matters, Yang Chen rode the Darkwind Wolf and led the Chen family to Yi City.

nThere was still half a month before the first batch of Monster Slayers would be selected, so there was no need to use flying demonic beasts to travel.

nOriginally, Chen Xiao and the others had planned to take a good look at the scenery of the other cities while they were on their way.

nHowever, along the way, there were only disaster victims. Although the food given by the Great Qian Dynasty’s royal family had not been used up yet.

nHowever, all the aristocratic families were aware of the crisis and had begun to limit their supply.

nAs a result, these disaster victims could only get the most basic food to sustain their lives. There were many people with yellow faces and thin skin.

nLooking at the miserable state of the disaster victims, Chen Xiao could not help but say,””Along the way, it seems that the people of Chen City are the happiest.” Hearing this, Yang Chen turned his head and smiled.” If you want to maintain this happiness, you have to work hard. Only when our Chen family is strong will the people who follow the Chen family feel happy.””

nThe crowd nodded their heads in a half-understanding manner. They were determined to pass the assessment.

n“Seventh brother, if the food given by the royal family is gone, these people won’t all starve to death, right?”Chen Xiao could not bear to say this.

n“It’s true that all of them will starve to death. After all, with the oath binding them, no one will allow their own people to be reduced to io%.”

n“Even though Da Qian doesn’t allow us to buy food from other states, they didn’t stop the big trading companies from sending food over.”

n“At that time, the food will be a little more expensive. It’s even possible to buy it with spirit stones. Even if the aristocratic families were unwilling, they had to buy food like this.”

n“It’s just that many of the disaster victims will probably starve to death. After all, the aristocratic families only need to guarantee that they won’t go back on their oaths.”Yang Chen said faintly.

nChen Xiao’s heart ached when he heard Yang Chen’s words. He looked at Yang

nChen with a conflicted expression.” Seventh Brother, will we do the same?””

nYang Chen smiled when he heard this.” Old Ten, nothing will happen to our Chen Family. You don’t have to ask why. You’ll know soon enough.””

nHearing Yang Chen’s words, a smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face again. He knew that his seventh brother would never lie to him.

nTen days later, the group of people finally arrived at Yi City.

nAfter entering Yi City, Chen Yang and the others went straight to the Demon Slaying Hall. The Demon Slaying Hall was located in an open space in the north of Yi City.

nAlthough only a few halls had been built, they were still beginning to take shape.

nThe Demon Slayer Hall had reserved the restaurant next to the main hall to accommodate the candidates.

nAfter settling Chen Xiao and the others down, Chen Yang said to them,”You guys rest in the inn now. I’ll go out for a while.”

n“Yi City is full of good and bad people. If there’s no need, it’s better to stay in the inn.”

n“We understand.” Everyone understood.

nYang Chen nodded and left. Coming to Yi City this time, he had to pay his respects to his master first.

nYi City, Deshun County Prince’s Mansion.

nAs the residence of the most powerful person in Yi City, the street in front of the Deshun Prefecture Prince’s Mansion had already been cleared.

nThere were also guards on both sides of the street.

n“Stop. This street is where the Dcshun Commandery Prince lives. If you have something to do, please take a detour.”Outside the street, the guards stopped Yang Chen.

nWhen Chen Yang saw this, he cupped his hands at the guard.” Hello, I’m Chen Yang, the disciple of Deshun Commandery Prince. I’m here to pay my respects to Master.””

nWhen the guard heard this, his pupils constricted, but he immediately calmed down.” Young Master, please wait a moment. I’ll go and check.””

n“Thank you.”

nNot long after, an old man in gray clothes with a gray beard came over.” Aiyo, the Chen Clan Leader is here. Come in quickly.””

n“And you are?” Yang Chen was puzzled. He had never seen this person before.

nWhen the old man heard this, he explained with a smile,”Master Chen, you might have forgotten that I’m the little butler of the Prince’s mansion.””

n“I’m usually in charge of the matters on this street.”

n“Oh, I remember now.” Yang Chen looked enlightened.

nIn fact, Yang Chen had no idea who this person was. The last time he went to the Commandery Prince’s Mansion, the butler he saw was only the Head Butler.

nAs for the others, they might have met, but Yang Chen had already forgotten about them.

nImmediately, under the guidance of the little butler, Yang Chen officially arrived at the Deshun Prince’s Mansion.

n“Lord Chen, His Highness is currently in the guest hall discussing some matters with the Prefecture Overseer. I’ll bring you over now.”

n“Wait a minute.” Yang Chen stopped the butler.” Butler, since Master is busy, I can wait outside.””

nWhen the butler heard this, he hurriedly explained,” There is something that the Chen Clan Leader doesn’t know. His Highness said that if the Chen Clan Leader comes, no matter what he is doing, he can be brought to his side.”” Yang Chen nodded. It seemed that his master thought highly of him.

nThen, under the guidance of the little butler, Yang Chen came to the reception hall.

nIn the reception hall, the Deshun Commandery Prince, who was discussing matters with the Prefecture Overseer, suddenly smiled.” My disciple is here.” “Oh? The Chen Clan Head is here?” When the Prefecture Overseer heard this, he subconsciously went to welcome them.

nHowever, just as she got up, the Deshun Commandery Prince pressed her down on the chair.” Look, isn’t it the same old habit? You plan to welcome anyone with a little status.”

nWhen the Prefecture Overseer heard this, a flattering smile appeared on his face.” The Chen Clan Leader is not an ordinary person. Let’s not talk about his bloodline that is equivalent to a sixth-grade aptitude for the time being.

nHe is your personal disciple. I’m afraid there aren’t many people in Da Qian who are more respected than him.”

n“Alright, alright, stop flattering me.”The Deshun Commandery Prince raised his teacup and gestured for the Prefecture Overseer to wait quietly.

nNot long after, Yang Chen arrived at the reception hall.

n“Chen Yang greets Master and the Prefecture Overseer.’After entering the reception hall, Chen Yang respectfully bowed to the Duke of Deshun as his disciple.

nThen, he bowed to the Prefecture Overseer, who hurriedly stood up and bowed back.

n“Disciple, what are you doing here?”After bowing, the Duke of De Shun asked with a smile.

n“Master, I brought my family’s disciples to Yi City to participate in the Demon Slaying Hall’s selection.

nThe disciple thought that since he was here, he should pay his respects to Master first.”Yang Chen said respectfully.

nUpon hearing this, the Deshun Commandery Prince smiled and pointed at the chair beside him.” Sit down first. After I’m done discussing with the Prefecture Overseer, we’ll talk about other things.”

n“Yes.” Yang Chen then sat on the chair, motionless..
