To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Returnees
The day after, due to using his maximum speed, Zhen Yuan made it to the central palace. He immediately handed over his token as a high elder there and entered the central palace.
The arrival of Zhen Yuan was then heard by his friends and followers. Elder Huang and the second elder had been waiting for Zhen Yuan at his residence. Shu Lian, Bald Kun, Princess Embert and Baisheng did not miss.
“Master!”
“Master Zhen!”
They simultaneously greeted Zhen Yuan as the young man entered his residence. Zhen Yuan smiled slightly then greeted all of them.
“Chairman Huang, Second Elder.. Congratulations on becoming a Mortal cultivator!” Zhen Yuan was very happy to see the 2 elders remaining within his faction had become mortal cultivators thanks to him.
“This will not all happen with the help of master Zhen” Elder Huang and the second elder said respectfully.
Zhen Yuan switched on Shu Lian and Bald Kun, they were respectively emitting the strength of the 4th and 5th layer of the Soul Realm. At their current age it was enough to prove that they were talented geniuses.
“The two of you did not wastefully follow me to this day!” Zhen Yuan then glanced at Embert's daughter who looked down respectfully at him. “A future queen of the Spring kingdom does not deserve to bow, Princess Embert seems to be you getting proficient in alchemist”
Not yet had Embert's daughter reply, Shu Lian had already said, “This is my wife! At the age of 29, he managed to become a Soul cultivator of the 6th layer and become a master of the 6th grade!”
Zhen Yuan rolled his eyes, “Shu Lian, you are getting worse after five years. Stop such attitude, it is only fitting that among the three of you be the weakest” Shu Lian fell silent while Bald Kun and princess Embert chuckled.
“You didn't disappoint me!” Zhen Yuan was pleased with everyone's development.
“Master, where have you been training all this time? Elder Huang and the second elder have searched you all over the central region but have found no trace of you at all” Baisheng asked.
Zhen Yuan later recounted that he was training in a remote area outside the Three Clouds kingdom. He was also grateful that no demons came to harass him during closed-door training.
“Master Zhen, since you have arrived here then I will return to the Energetic Medicine Sect! Sect Chief has long called me to return” Bald Kun suddenly said.
“Oh? Can't you wait to accept the position of new Sect chief?” Zhen Yuan chuckled softly.
Bald Kun looked timid, “At first the sect head wanted to make master Zhen the chairman but since you have become a high elder then the position of sect head will be passed down to me and Shu Lian. But Shu Lian said being appointed as the king of the Golden Lion kingdom made him unable to become the sect head.”
“I also want to return to the Golden Lion kingdom with princess Embert!” Shu Lian also no longer hesitated to express her intentions.
Seeing the three intending to leave, Zhen Yuan felt a little sad. They had been together for quite a while and the young man would feel a little lonely when they left. Yet Zhen Yuan was also unable to make them continue to be by his side as it was with a heavy heart that Zhen Yuan allowed them to leave.
“Before you guys leave, I will prepare some gifts. I don't know how long we'll meet again in the future”
The three nodded, the next night they all had a small party inside the house. Zhen Yuan cooked an awful lot of delicious dishes before finally being shut down by his favorite green tea party.
