From the initial skepticism when following Ye Liuyun, to now being utterly loyal.
Shi Sheng already had a kind of blind faith in Ye Liuyun.
Anyway, as long as it was something Ye Liuyun said.
Shi Sheng always had a feeling that the other party could definitely accomplish it.
"..."
This matter-of-fact response from Shi Sheng caused Si Nan to pause for a moment, taken aback.
He was right.
It seemed he had been shocked by the news of the grandmaster.
To the point of forgetting that their lord had always been such a miraculous person, never failing for no reason.
"If the lord truly becomes a grandmaster..."
Seemingly thinking of something, he paused before he couldn’t help but laugh.
Though it might not mean he could roam freely in the Imperial City,
at least he wouldn’t have to worry as much about doing things as before.
"You, I didn’t expect you to be quite smart at times?"
With that,
Si Nan looked at Shi Sheng with a smile.
Something that he hadn’t figured out, Shi Sheng understood in no time.
It just went to show that having a straightforward and simple mind might not be such a bad thing.
After all, this way, there wouldn’t be so many worries.
"I’ve always been smart!"
Shi Sheng rolled his eyes at Si Nan in exasperation, insisting he was quite a clever person.
It’s just that most of the time, the first method that Shi Sheng’s ’smart brain’ thought of for solving problems was to use his fists.
"Okay, okay! No need to argue!"
Si Nan didn’t intend to argue with Shi Sheng about who was smart.
He directly raised his hand and put it around Shi Sheng’s shoulder.
"Come on, I’m in a good mood today, I’ll treat you to the Imperial Music Bureau!"
"Your treat?"
Shi Sheng’s eyes instantly lit up.
Knowing Shi Sheng’s character well, Si Nan wasn’t surprised at all. Instead, he generously waved his hand, "My treat!"
"Then I’m going!"
With someone treating, Shi Sheng agreed decisively; there was no reason to miss out.
"By the way, should we invite the lord too?"
"I’ll ask when the lord comes out of the Imperial Prison."
Si Nan knew the lord didn’t like being disturbed while in the Imperial Prison, so he chose not to ask at this time.
He planned to wait until Ye Liuyun came out of the prison.
"Alright!"
...
Time quickly passed by.
Soon, more than half a month had gone by.
Just as Ye Liuyun had guessed, the news of the Celestial Prison break was quickly suppressed, and that very night, a large number of ’prisoners’ were brought back to the Celestial Prison.
Of course, who among these people were real criminals was unknown.
But these matters had nothing to do with Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun had no intention of getting involved; such was the era, and the affairs of the Celestial Prison were just a microcosm.
One can’t save everyone.
Instead of doing that, it was better to focus on enhancing his own strength.
During this half-month, Ye Liuyun devoted all his thoughts to cultivation.
As the saying goes, anyone might betray you, but the power you cultivate will not.

In the courtyard.
Gazing at the freshly crafted character template.
Ye Liuyun let out a deep breath.
"Finally, a breakthrough!"
A few days ago, Ye Liuyun’s mage cultivation successfully broke through to the seventh grade, becoming a true seventh grade mage.
And just now.
There was a significant breakthrough in martial arts; Cangyang Force reached completion.
His cultivation realm also successfully broke through the late stage.
He reached the Innate Perfection realm.
Only one step away from the Grandmaster Realm.
"Phew!"
Slowly calming the surging inner strength, making it peaceful.
Several days of intense training had left Ye Liuyun’s body and mind quite fatigued, but thankfully, all the effort had been worthwhile.
"Next, I should look for an even more powerful cultivation technique."
Cangyang Force had already reached completion.
To break through to a grandmaster, he needed a more superior cultivation technique.
And preferably, it should also follow a path of extreme rigidity and yang.
"But there’s no need to rush, I need a few more days to adapt to the current realm, and for information on cultivation techniques, there should be news in the Profound Tower."
Thinking this way.
Ye Liuyun felt much more relaxed.
He originally intended to go straight back to rest, but just then, sensing something, Ye Liuyun stopped in his tracks, turning to face the direction of the courtyard wall.
Sure enough, in the next second.
Lv Lan’s figure ’flew’ in from outside the courtyard wall.
"Long time no see!"
"..."
Hearing the greeting, Ye Liuyun felt somewhat speechless.
"I mean, do I not have a main entrance to use? There’s no need to climb over every time."
It felt like being a thief.
Lv Lan hadn’t paid much attention to these things before.
But seeing Ye Liuyun say this, Lv Lan thought for a moment and didn’t refuse, instead nodding and saying.
"Alright, I’ll use the main entrance next time."
Unexpectedly, Lv Lan was so obedient.
