The result of the battle on the Central Battle Platform didn't have any shocking surprises.
On the central battle platform, Ye Chen fought with Du Wei and Ji Wenze one after another. Without using too much strength, he defeated the two one after another, allowing the spectators to truly witness the strength of the four thousandth ranker of the Eastern Region Ranking.
After being taught a lesson by Ye Chen, Dewey behaved himself in front of Ye Chen. He was no longer as provocative as before when he saw Ye Chen.
When Ye Chen returned to the Yuanshi Sect's encampment from the Central Fighting Ring, Ye Chen's name had been widely spread in the region city.
Even the three elders of the Yuanshi Sect heard the news and hurried back, praising Ye Chen greatly.
Although the three elders were elders of the Yuanshi Sect, they were not like Mu Feiqing, who knew that Ye Chen's talent had reached the level of Eight Unique Skills. Therefore, they were very shocked by Ye Chen's performance this time.
When they finally sent the three elders away, it was already evening. As night fell, the entire Eastern Region City was soon shrouded in darkness.
As night fell, Ye Chen did not go back to rest. Instead, he went to a courtyard in the encampment and took out a small kite.
This kite was left to Ye Chen by Zhuo Qingyun.
The Eastern Region City was the headquarters of the Ministry of War in the Eastern Region. Zhuo Qingyun was a captain of the Ministry of War.
Therefore, Ye Chen took out the kite at this moment to see if Zhuo Qingyun was in the Eastern Region City at this moment.
After being in the Hidden Dragon World for so long, among the people Ye Chen had met, Zhuo Qingyun was the one who had the best relationship with Ye Chen.
Whoosh!
The kite was activated by Ye Chen. Like a little bird, it directly flew into the distance.
Ye Chen sat at the stone table in the center of the courtyard and waited quietly.
This kite was incomparably miraculous. No matter how far away it was, it could contact Zhuo Qingyun.
However, this city wasn't too big. If Zhuo Qingyun was in the city, the kite would return within an hour.
Therefore, Ye Chen only had to wait for an hour to find out if Zhuo Qingyun was in the city.
Whoosh!
What made Ye Chen pleasantly surprised was that after the kite flew away, it reappeared in front of Ye Chen in a mere moment, falling down from the sky.
"It's really in the region city."
Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised as he caught the kite. Zhuo Qingyun's consciousness immediately appeared in his mind.
"Ye Chen, I didn't expect you to rush over to the region city. I'll be waiting for you outside the city."
It was a simple thought, but Ye Chen could not help but smile.
With a flash, Ye Chen left the place.
Zhuo Qingyun's consciousness had already informed Ye Chen of her current location.
Ye Chen rushed out of the city and rapidly descended. He quickly found Zhuo Qingyun in front of the enormous black tortoise.
It was late at night, so it was obvious that not many people would come here to watch the black tortoise.
Therefore, the surroundings were silent. Apart from Ye Chen and Zhuo Qingyun, there was no one else here.
"Miss Zhuo!" Ye Chen yelled as he walked towards Zhuo Qingyun with a smile on his face.
Zhuo Qingyun, who was standing in front, slowly turned around and looked at Ye Chen.
"Eh …" Ye Chen, who was walking towards Zhuo Qingyun, suddenly stopped.
Ye Chen looked Zhuo Qingyun up and down with an odd expression.
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Zhuo Qingyun, but when Ye Chen and Zhuo Qingyun had been together in the past, Zhuo Qingyun had always been dressed in battle armor and looked extremely capable. Her heroic aura had far surpassed that of others.
But now, Zhuo Qingyun was wearing a light blue palace dress. Her hair was tied up high, and there was a star-like belt around her waist that accentuated her slim waist.
If the Zhuo Qingyun of the past was a goddess of war, then the current Zhuo Qingyun was a noble and beautiful princess.
This kind of change in temperament made Ye Chen feel quite surprised, which was why his footsteps slowed down.
"What?
Don't tell me you can't recognize me? "Zhuo Qingyun pursed her lips and chuckled softly when she saw Ye Chen's dazed expression.
"Of course not."
Ye Chen rubbed his nose awkwardly and walked over with a smile. "I'm just not used to how you look in female clothing."
Hearing this, Zhuo Qingyun stood on her tiptoes and twirled in front of Ye Chen, saying, "My current appearance should be passable, right?"
Before Ye Chen could reply, Zhuo Qingyun immediately said dejectedly, "Unfortunately, I still prefer to wear battle armor and fight enemies, rather than wear this cumbersome outfit to curry favor with others."
"Since you don't like it, why force yourself?" Ye Chen stared at Zhuo Qingyun and asked slowly.
He could see that although Zhuo Qingyun was forcing a smile and acting as if nothing had happened, she was hiding something sad in her heart. That was why there was an occasional flash of sadness in the depths of her eyes.
Ye Chen's reply caused the smile on Zhuo Qingyun's face to gradually disappear. "Ye Chen, I haven't congratulated you yet. You've made a name for yourself this time. At your age, you're able to rank four thousand on the Eastern Region Fortune List. In the future, you'll definitely become a giant in the Hidden Dragon World."
Ye Chen didn't care about Zhuo Qingyun's words.
Ye Chen knew very well that with Zhuo Qingyun's strength, she should also be able to rank on the Eastern Region Fortune List. However, her ranking might be much lower than Ye Chen's.
Staring at Zhuo Qingyun who was forcing a smile, Ye Chen frowned and said, "If you have something on your mind, you might as well say it."
Zhuo Qingyun stared at Ye Chen and was silent for a moment. Then she said faintly, "Ye Chen, I'm going to get married."
"Get married?" Ye Chen was stunned.
When one's cultivation reached the Supreme Dao Realm, regardless of gender, marriage wasn't very important to them anymore. What they valued more was their own strength.
Only a very small number of Supreme Dao cultivators would get together because they liked each other.
If Zhuo Qingyun had encountered other troubles, Ye Chen could still intervene and help her. Now that she had encountered this kind of situation, Ye Chen could only sigh and say, "Then I have to congratulate you."
When he said this, Ye Chen and Zhuo Qingyun fell silent at the same time. They actually felt that they had nothing else to say.
Right at this moment, several figures suddenly appeared above the two of them. They were charging towards them in a menacing manner.
"Catch this adulterous couple for me. If they dare to resist, beat them to death." An extremely resentful voice came from one of the people in the group.
Zhuo Qingyun was shocked when she heard this voice. She jumped out and stood in front of Ye Chen. She said, "Phantasmagoria, I've already agreed to marry you. You can't make things difficult for my friend."
"Humph, who do you think you are? If you weren't from a side branch of the Domain Chief's Manor, I wouldn't have bothered with you. Now that we're about to get married, you're secretly meeting a wild man in the middle of the night. Tell me, if I don't punish you severely, the Yan Family will lose face." The resentful voice sounded again.
At this moment, Ye Chen saw clearly that the person who spoke was an ugly man with a ferocious face.
