Chapter 378 Departure
The top scholar in the fifth grade?
Ye Ru was also startled by Chen Tianjian's exaggerated actions, then pointed to himself, seemingly in disbelief, and said:
You're saying I'm the top scholar in the imperial examination?
"Who else could it be but you? The whole of Zicheng is talking about you. You finished all the papers in less than a day with an extremely low error rate. The gap between you, the top five and the second-place finisher, is huge. It would be an accurate description to say that you are far ahead of the competition."
Chen Tianjian clicked his tongue in amazement, then said again:
"By the way, quite a few wealthy families know that you used to live in the City Lord's Mansion. The number of people proposing marriage almost broke down the threshold of the City Lord's Mansion. If it weren't for Zhao Mingcheng, they probably would have all come here."
These words sent a chill down Ye Ru's spine. What kind of situation was this?
After a moment, Chen Tianjian regained his composure, his dark, bright eyes looking extremely serious as he said:
"Now that you have become a scholar, you should come with me to see the Emperor and have him grant you a title to represent our Yanhuang Kingdom on a mission to the Jin Kingdom to escort the 100,000 heroic souls of our Yanhuang Kingdom home. So, are you ready?"
Seeing this, Ye Ru's expression also became very solemn:
"I would go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Alright, let's not delay. You should rest well today and then come with me to the capital tomorrow to see the Emperor. I believe he is very concerned about you, but due to his status, he cannot meet you in person. However, this is a good idea. We can also see if you have any good requests, and I will help you ask the Emperor to grant them."
Nodding, Chen Tianjian tapped his fingers on the table, then pondered for a moment.
"Is this true?"
"No joke."
"Alright, I do have a request."
Ye Ru slammed his hand on the table, taking it as a done deal. He had an idea: to build a library in every county and city so that poor students all over the world could have access to books.
Unfortunately, back then I was insignificant and had no influence, so I couldn't make any waves. But now it's different. I have the ability to do these things, so I will do everything I can to accomplish them.
What request?
Chen Tianjian nodded.
"I can't tell you now. Let's wait until I see His Majesty."
Ye Ru said in an unusually mysterious tone.
"That's fine. As long as it's not against the sacred way, I can help you. However, no matter what you ask for, I'm afraid the Left Prime Minister and others who follow him will interfere."
Chen Tianjian pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice.
“I know that since I dare to meet them, I must have a way to deal with them. We will set off tomorrow, which will also be a good opportunity for me to meet these people in the capital.”
Ye Ru shook his head, a cold smile on his face. He knew that this trip would definitely cause a series of problems, which would probably include many old-fashioned and pedantic scholars. What he had to do was to shut these people up.
"Alright, then I'll make the preparations and inform Minister Wen and His Majesty that we'll return to the capital together starting tomorrow, how about that?"
Chen Tianjian nodded and said.
He knew Ye Ru's talent; even the most pedantic scholars in the court probably couldn't match Ye Ru's eloquence.
"Okay, then I'll go and rest first. Oh, by the way, take this. You might need it someday."
Ye Ru suddenly remembered something and handed Chen Tianjian a leaf.
The leaf is emerald green, and there are faint shimmering lights moving above it.
This is the highest quality sacred leaf among the Sacred Ancient Tree, far superior in quality to those sacred leaves given to Long Shang and others.
"This is a sacred leaf? A sacred leaf from the ancient tree of the sacred path, and a sage's leaf at that. Did you obtain it from the sacred path?"
Looking at the Holy Leaf shimmering with light in his hand, Chen Tianjian's expression changed, and he asked in shock.
"Yes, I obtained it personally from the Sacred Ancient Tree. This is the leaf with the purest energy from the Sacred Ancient Tree. It can prevent fire and poison. You must keep it safe."
Ye Ru gripped Chen Tianjian's hand tightly, then spoke in a deep voice, but after a moment, he added again:
"Be very careful with your wealth and don't flaunt it. Lord Chen should know that, right?"
"I know, don't worry, I'll definitely keep it safe."
Chen Tianjian nodded and carefully put the sacred leaf away. He knew how precious the sacred leaf was; it was even more valuable than a fifth-grade literary treasure.
Ye Ru nodded, then turned and left. He didn't feel bad about taking out so many sacred leaves. According to the regenerative power of the Sacred Ancient Tree, it would probably be lush again in less than a month.
The most important thing now is to rest. After such a long period of experience, even he can't take it anymore.
That night, without any demons attacking, Ye Ru slept soundly. In the blink of an eye, the moon set and the sun slowly rose from the horizon.
"call……"
Ye Ru got out of bed, stretched, then stood up and washed his face with cold water. He gently pushed open the door, and the sunlight shone on his handsome face, adding to his dashing appearance.
"Ye Ru, you're up now. If you're up, let's go to the capital."
At that moment, a clear voice came from afar, and then Chen Tianjian slowly walked in.
"Master Chen."
Ye Ru nodded, then bowed to him and said.
"So, are you ready?"
Chen Tianjian saw that Ye Ru looked well, then patted the latter on the shoulder and smiled.
"Everything is ready, we're just waiting for you, Lord Chen."
Ye Ru smiled.
"Okay, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Tianjian waved his sleeve, and a beam of light flew towards the sky, eventually swelling up in the wind and transforming into a giant flying boat.
Then Chen Tianjian leaped up and waved to Ye Ru:
"Come up."
"clear."
Ye Ru nodded, his wings flapped behind him, and he suddenly shot towards the flying boat.
This speed surprised Chen Tianjian for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Brother Ye, when you go to Jin, you must help me beat these beasts to a pulp!"
Guo Ku stood in front of the many soldiers and then shouted loudly at Ye Ru.
"Yes, we can't let those Jin people look down on us. We must never lose the backbone of the descendants of Yan and Huang!"
Guan Mou's face flushed red, and he opened his mouth and roared fiercely.
"Rest assured, I will live up to your expectations and bring all the remains of our Yanhuang soldiers home."
Seeing this, Ye Ru took a deep breath and turned around to agree.
As soon as he finished speaking, the flying boat suddenly started up and slowly rose into the air, moving slowly towards the capital city under the gaze of many soldiers.
Ye Ru stood on the flying boat, gazing at the many mountains in the distance, his face showing a hint of eagerness.
This time, it seems we are about to truly clash with the Left Prime Minister, and the battlefield will be the imperial court!
