Ye Chen walked out of the temple, but found that the Duke of Protectorate Leng Hanjiang was still waiting there.

"Ye Chen, what's the result?"

Leng Hanjiang saw Ye Chen coming out and asked.

Ye Chen was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer this question.

If everything goes well, the empress didn't say how to arrange herself.

To say it wasn't smooth sailing, after he had seen the empress's body, the other party also rewarded him with two elixirs.

"It's okay, the Empress just asked me to go back first..."

Ye Chen replied.

"Since I told you to wait for news, then there's a chance you'll be granted a title of nobility."

"Oh?" Ye Chen was stunned. "Why do you think so?"

Leng Hanjiang smiled slightly and continued, "The Empress still needs to discuss with the Four Heavenly Kings before finalizing the number of candidates for the title of Marquis. I think the Empress will soon convene a meeting of the Four Heavenly Kings to finalize this matter."

"Will anyone among the Four Heavenly Kings object?" Ye Chen asked.

"It's natural."

Leng Hanjiang did not deny it. "But this is a game between the Empress and the Four Heavenly Kings. It is not something you and I can reach. Just go back and wait for news."

No conversation along the way.

When Ye Chen got off Leng Hanjiang's carriage and was about to return to his own courtyard, he heard a sweet and numb female voice calling him from a distance:

"Brother Ye Chen~~"

Just by listening to the voice, Ye Chen knew who it was.

He followed the source of the sound and saw a charming woman with a bun and dressed in a lady's dress walking towards him gracefully.

"It turns out to be Miss Caiyi."

Ye Chen spoke with a smile.

When Caiyi saw Ye Chen, a strong light bloomed in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and she immediately stretched out her jade hand to pull Ye Chen.

But when she saw Leng Hanjiang, her jade hand shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.

She tidied her messy hair with her jade hands and said with a dignified smile, "So the Duke is here too. I pay my respects to him."

"No need to be so polite, Chief Steward."

Leng Hanjiang smiled faintly: "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Although his expression was calm, he was very surprised in his heart. Even Caiyi, the general manager of the Xinghai Chamber of Commerce branch, looked at Ye Chen differently and behaved very intimately with him. It was really strange.

He knew Cai Yi very well. Although she always greeted everyone with a smile, it was extremely difficult to make close friends with her.

This manager Caiyi has been running the Xuanbing branch for many years, and has never heard of any genius who can knock on her boudoir door.

After the Duke of Protector of the Country left, Ye Chen asked, "Miss Caiyi, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Can't I just come and see you if I'm alright, Brother Ye Chen~"

Cai Yi pretended to be angry as she took out a storage ring from her sleeve and handed it to Ye Chen, saying, "All the resources obtained from the auction are here. I didn't take a single cent."

"Thank you very much."

Ye Chen was amazed at Caiyi's efficiency. He took the ring and took a look at it, and his heart was moved.

A total of thirty-five magic stones!

This can be said to have far exceeded Ye Chen's expectations.

"Why are there so many?" Ye Chen looked at Cai Yi.

"Actually, I don't quite understand. Fan Wujin's divine corpse was auctioned for an extremely high price, even higher than many divine corpses at the Divine Realm..."

"oh?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who was the one who finally took away Fan Wujin's corpse?"

"The other party is wearing a mask and using magic weapons to block others' detection. He is a mysterious person." Caiyi told the truth.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "I seem to have guessed who bought Fan Wujin's corpse..."

But that didn't matter to him anymore. He would gladly accept some extra divine stones for free.

"Thank you, Miss Caiyi. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

After saying that, Ye Chen prepared to go home.

But Cai Yi pulled him back and said, "Brother Ye Chen, don't rush to leave."

"Is there anything else?" Ye Chen looked at the other party and asked puzzledly.

“That…that…”

Cai Yi bit her red lips lightly with her pearly teeth, and the desire in her eyes when she looked at Ye Chen's face became more and more intense.

Immediately, she said in a sickly sweet voice, "Brother Ye Chen, can you tell me more about the missing Tianzun?"

After she finished speaking, the desire in Caiyi's beautiful eyes grew stronger, as if she was going to eat Ye Chen alive the next moment.

"Sorry, this really won't work." Ye Chen shook his head slightly.

"Oh, good brother, please be kind~~"

Caiyi grabbed Ye Chen's clothes with both hands and shook them slightly, saying with an unsatisfied look: "Good brother, I... I really want to know. If you don't tell me the complete information, I really can't sleep..."

These past few days, she felt like every day was a year. She tossed and turned in bed every night and couldn't sleep.

My mind is filled with desire for that information.

Seeing that Ye Chen still had no intention of giving in, Cai Yi hurriedly continued, "Brother, as long as you sell the information to me, I will give you whatever reward and resources you want!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.

This woman's personality is exactly the same as Leng Hanjiang's.

Leng Hanjiang likes to get to the bottom of a problem, while Caiyi has an inexplicable desire to collect intelligence, and the more advanced the intelligence, the more crazy she becomes.

After all, the other party had just helped him auction something, so Ye Chen was embarrassed to refuse outright.

He immediately said, "How about this, Miss Caiyi? When the time is right, I will definitely give you priority in selling this information, as well as any other information I learn in the future. What do you think?"

"Really? It's a deal then!" Caiyi smiled like a flower.

at the same time.

In the clouds above the Xuanbing Palace, four giant ice dragons, each a thousand meters long, were floating.

And above the head of each ice dragon stood a majestic figure with a different appearance.

Every figure exudes an aura that looks down on the world.

Such terrifying pressure even made the unruly ice dragon under their feet tremble with fear, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Not long after these four powerful beings appeared, a beautiful woman wearing Ice Phoenix court robes and with a graceful and majestic temperament slowly walked towards them in the air behind the Ice Throne standing in the clouds in the distance.

With every step he took, a phantom of an ice lotus bloomed under his feet.

She sat solemnly on the throne, her majestic and cold voice resonating in all directions, allowing the four powerful figures to hear clearly:

"The reason for summoning the four Heavenly Kings this time is just one thing...

I have decided to confer upon General Funan Ye Chen the rank of Marquis!"
