"Yes, Steward Liu!" The young man clasped his hands in respect and said humbly. The Great Yan Kingdom was too far from the Celestial Travel Sect, and they were merely lowly figures in the sect without any status, which meant they received very few cultivation resources. Because of this, they harbored some resentment towards the Celestial Travel Sect. In the Great Yan Kingdom, they exploited the name of the Celestial Travel Sect for their own benefit, while turning a blind eye to the matters of demonic organizations in the Ten Nations. Everyone fears death; no one wants to fight the experts of the demonic paths, and they were no exception. Originally, no one governed here, and they had been carefree. The highest authority was Elder Liu, with a Guiyuan Realm Second Layer cultivation. However, Elder Liu was greedy, and as long as people under him offered some treasures, he would turn a blind eye. But unexpectedly, this time the Celestial Travel Sect dispatched an Inspector of Ten Nations out of nowhere, which naturally made him extremely unhappy. At the same time, they felt a hint of jealousy, thinking that such a young person must have an extraordinarily strong background in the Celestial Travel Sect, something they could not compare with. ... The clouds churned, and the scenery on both sides gradually became familiar. The outline of the Great Yan Kingdom became clearer! Whoosh! A silver light flashed by. On the back of the flying eagle, Chu Ming stood straight, looking down towards the Great Yan City ahead. "Retract your pressure!" Chu Ming patted the wing of the flying eagle. Although the flying eagle seemed a bit displeased, it still retracted the pressure belonging to a Seventh Level Demon Beast. Chu Ming flew directly into the Great Yan City, attracting the attention of the City Defense Army on the city wall. Martial Artists who could ride flying magical beasts in the Great Yan Kingdom were undoubtedly people of high status from the five major sects. "Tsk tsk tsk, I’ve never ridden a flying magical beast; I wonder what kind of feeling that would be!" A City Defense Army soldier with a tanned face looked at Chu Ming in the sky with envy, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes. "You? Look at yourself in a mirror; you think you can ride a flying magical beast? Stop dreaming!" The more mature City Defense Army soldier next to him said with a sneer. "No, I feel like I’ve seen that person somewhere before?" The first soldier frowned, somewhat puzzled. "You’ve seen him? Hahaha, if you’d seen him, would you still be here guarding the city with us?" The mature soldier laughed heartily, as if hearing the most amusing joke. "That boy looks a lot like Chu Ming, the genius of the Chu Family!" The tanned soldier didn’t argue, just slowly voiced his speculation. "Genius of the Chu Family? Chu Ming?!" The mature soldier’s expression changed. Though Chu Ming had left the Great Yan Kingdom a year ago, stories about him still permeated the realm. For sixteen years, he was unknown, but then astonished everyone at the age of sixteen by taking first place in the family competition, and then, as if by miracle, broke through the era dominated by the five geniuses of the Great Yan Kingdom, becoming the most brilliant figure! One should know that before Chu Ming, the five great geniuses had held a tight grip on the younger generation, but Chu Ming had indirectly defeated them! "It’s said that Chu Ming left the Great Yan Kingdom a year ago. Even if he came back, it wouldn’t be so soon. You must be mistaken!" The mature soldier thought for a moment and said. "Perhaps!" The tanned soldier replied uncertainly, thinking it unlikely to be Chu Ming himself. ... By this time, Chu Ming had already reached the Chu Family mansion. The flying eagle soared in the sky while Chu Ming walked into the mansion! The mansion had expanded two or three times compared to before, and its influence in the Great Yan Kingdom had become unrivalled, thanks to the silent support of the Cyan Yang Sect. However, the Bai Family of the four great families had a special status because of Bai Hanyan. "Who are you?" After a year of training, Chu Ming’s appearance had matured, and his temperament had settled, so a guard of the Chu Family did not recognize him at first. "Young Master Chu, you are Young Master Chu!" At this moment, a melodious female voice exclaimed; it was Yu Guxue’s maid passing by who recognized Chu Ming. "Yes!" Chu Ming smiled slightly and said indifferently. "Young Master Chu is back! Madam, Young Master Chu is back!" The maid’s face lit up with joy as she ran stumbling towards the depths of the mansion, shouting as she went. Soon, the whole Chu Mansion knew Chu Ming had returned. As Chu Ming stepped into the mansion, he was greeted by a large entourage, led by a man and a woman, none other than his parents, Chu He and Yu Guxue! Yu Guxue almost ran, making the maids behind her struggle to keep up, while Chu He, moving with the stride of a dragon and the grace of a tiger, had slightly reddened eyes upon seeing Chu Ming. "Ming’Er, it’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back!" Before Chu Ming could speak, Yu Guxue hugged him, gently patting his back, murmuring softly. Chu Ming felt warmth in his heart; perhaps this was the feeling of home. "Mother, I’m back!" Chu Ming said quietly. "Alright, you are a grown man now, let go so we don’t make a scene!" Beside them, Chu He said softly. Hearing this, Yu Guxue gently let go, examined Chu Ming’s face carefully, and only after finding nothing amiss, breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell me, where have you been this past year?" On the way, Yu Guxue couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked. Chu He also pretended not to care but glanced at Chu Ming. So, Chu Ming roughly recounted the events of the year, although he deliberately skipped over some parts, such as the ordeals in the Primordial Earth Palace. Even so, the two listened with their hearts in their throats, and their eyes looking at Chu Ming showed even more tenderness. Unknowingly, the three of them arrived at the main hall. The servants had already been dismissed by Chu He, leaving only the three of them. "So, Ming’Er, you are now a True Dao Fifth Layer Martial Artist?" Yu Guxue’s eyes were filled with shock, as if she couldn’t believe it. Even the usually composed Chu He seemed a bit unsettled. In the Great Yan Kingdom, a True Dao Martial Artist was already considered high-ranking. The former five great geniuses had only just broken through to the True Dao Realm, of course, not counting those who had left the kingdom. "Yes." Chu Ming said calmly. He knew that while his cultivation might not be strong in the inner sect of the Celestial Travel Sect, in the Great Yan Kingdom, it was top-tier, especially for someone of his age, which was unprecedented.
