After the three of them left the Skysword Sect, they returned to the imperial capital of the Windflame Empire and once again visited the Nirvana Pavilion.2
"You finally came back. This trip of a month and you didn't come back with any news, but you really worried me to death!" Seeing them, Ji Fan worriedly said. Whether or not the entire Vermillion Bird Sect could be rebuilt in the future all depended on Ye Kai.
Although Ji Fan normally only wanted to eat and have fun, he was a disciple of the Suzaku Sect and he wanted to rebuild the sect. Adding on their past relationship, he was naturally worried about their comfort.
"We're not your wives, why do you think of us like that? Don't tell me you have a special hobby?" Shen Nian teased, then pretended to be afraid as she took two steps back, distancing herself from Ji Fan.
With a look of regret, Ji Fan rushed forward and ruthlessly punched him twice in the chest.
After teasing for a while, Ji Fan's face returned to normal. He now had good news and bad news. He didn't know which one of them to listen to first.
Seeing his serious expression, Ye Kai and the others knew that this matter was definitely out of the ordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so optimistic.
"Let's listen to the bad ones first!" Ye Kai said.
The bad news is that Emperor Jing Chu has already taken that step, and is now a martial king expert. In a few days time, there will be a promotion ceremony, and at that time, our Redbud Kingdom will change its name to Jing Chu. Not only that, it is said that this time, the Emperor of the Redbud Kingdom has even invited envoys from the Upper Realm to come. Ji Fan frowned after he finished speaking. Once the Redbud Kingdom advanced, it would be even more difficult for them to take revenge in the future. The same would be true for rebuilding the Vermillion Bird Sect.
Ye Kai and the others went silent and sighed.
"Then what is the good news?" When Ye Qingyi saw that they had fallen silent for a moment, she touched Ye Kai and continued to ask.
Ji Fan sighed, "This good news is King Wei."
He looked at Ji Fan, and the person they had met in the Skysword Sect was him. With his status, Ye Kai and the others didn't understand how people like the Duke of Wei were good news to them, so they couldn't help but ask, "Where did the good news come from?"
Seeing them in such a state, Shen Nian smiled and continued to tell them the truth.
Everyone knew that this Emperor Jing Chu had a good relationship with King Wei, but ever since one year ago, he had personally dispatched his elite troops to attack the Heavenly Cloud Empire. Although they had massacred the entire Fire Cloud City, none of the soldiers that went on the expedition returned. It was because of that incident last time that even though Duke Wei didn't say much, he was already dissatisfied with the emperor in his heart. In the past few months, he was even more dissatisfied with the many methods used by Emperor Jing Chu. The Emperor had long summoned him back to the Imperial Capital, but he had only started recently. This was enough to explain the situation.
The few of them could not help but recall the scene when they met at the Skysword Sect. Even though King Wei's words were filled with contempt towards them, he did not kill them. Furthermore, he did not appear to be an evil villain.
"At that time, as long as he doesn't do anything, we will be able to relax a lot more. After all, he is also a ninth level Martial Saint." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Naturally, they could not miss the promotion ceremony that was going to take place a few days later. After another round of discussion, they left this time.
