Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Return
Looking at the green pill in Yu Mu’s hand, Ye Chen didn’t refuse and accepted it directly.
"Thank you, Senior Yu Mu."
Yu Mu nodded slightly and said, "Alright, go ahead. Come to visit when you have time, and be careful on the road. I’ll call Jia Mu over in a bit. While she doesn’t know, you should leave quickly, or she will surely cry and beg to go with you. Ah, girls are really hard to keep once they grow up."
Yu Mu shook his head helplessly.
During this period, Jia Mu had been extremely attached to Ye Chen.
Alright!
Ye Chen nodded, turned around, and left.

Above Level 40, each level up unexpectedly requires an additional one hundred thousand experience value.
The path of leveling up is getting slower and slower.
Jia Mu was called back by Yu Mu, and Ye Chen took the opportunity to leave with Hong Ye and Profound Maiden.
Two hours later, the three arrived at the outskirts of Thousand Stars Forest, at the location of the Fog District.
Zhang Zheng and the others were already waiting here for Ye Chen, and when they saw him arriving, they got up quickly to greet him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they set off on their return journey.
This time, there were no vehicles, so they flew back. If they walked, they wouldn’t know what year and month it would be by the time they arrived.
The group flew for two hours, rested for about ten minutes, and finally arrived in the Seventh Region, S City, before 8 PM.
When they returned to the gate of the safe zone, they found many people gathered outside, most with anxious expressions.
"Here they come, they’re back! Look up there!" someone excitedly shouted, pointing to the sky.
The others looked up promptly.
Suddenly, their faces lit up with joy.
Ye Chen noticed that Hao Sheng, Bai Ye, and several others were also anxiously waiting at the gate.
The group slowly descended.
Coming down, the prefects all headed towards their respective military departments.
"Master! Senior Brother!"
"Master, Junior Brother!"
Ye Chen and Hong Ye approached Hao Sheng and the others, smiling.
"Hahaha! So glad you’re back! So glad you’re back!" Hao Sheng laughed heartily, exceedingly pleased.
"Hahaha!"
Hao Sheng couldn’t stop laughing.
While some rejoiced, others mourned. Those who did not see their disciples return wore faces of sorrow, and upon hearing of their disciples’ deaths, they seemed to age ten years instantly, their backs appearing much lonelier.
At this moment, Hao Sheng proudly puffed out his chest, patting Ye Chen and Hong Ye’s shoulders: "Come on! Let’s go! Let’s have a feast to celebrate your return! Hahaha!"
They returned to Hao Sheng’s small courtyard to eat and drink.
During this time, Hao Sheng asked many questions about the experiences of this expedition.
Hong Ye recounted the events, only omitting their stay with Yu Mu.
After hearing the story, Bai Ye and the others were in shock and held Ye Chen in even greater esteem.
Hao Sheng raised his cup and said, "You’ve worked hard on this journey. Let me toast you!"
Hao Sheng picked up his cup and drank it all in one go.
The gathering lasted until midnight, and they drank until they were thoroughly intoxicated before finally going back.
Ye Chen returned to his room and slept soundly until ten o’clock the next day.
This sleep was particularly restful.
"Ah!"
Ye Chen stretched lazily and washed his face.
Profound Maiden had gone straight back to Z City last night and hadn’t come with Ye Chen.
After glancing at some messages, Ye Chen sighed, "So much going on, as soon as I return there’s a meeting, not a moment of peace."
After tidying himself up, Ye Chen headed directly to the meeting room.
Inside, the table was laden with food and drinks, like a tea party.
There was a banner above, warmly celebrating the return of the warriors.
The attendees had mostly arrived, and Hao Sheng waved at Ye Chen, signaling for him to come over and sit.
Sitting down, Ye Chen noticed that this time there were fewer people than last time, with quite a few empty seats.
Ye Chen looked towards the King’s military section, seeing Meng Fan glaring at him with fiery eyes.
After their gazes met, Meng Fan raised his hand and made a throat-slashing gesture.
Looking at Meng Fan, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh, mouthing the words "S.O.B!"
Meng Fan recognized Ye Chen’s lip movements and was furious, but given the circumstances, he could only suppress his anger.
Little did he expect that this bastard would survive, but all the better, it gave him a chance to kill this brat with his own hands.
Meng Fan was feeling quite troubled at the moment, as none of the returning people paid him any attention.
When he inquired about Ye Chen’s whereabouts and declared his intention to kill him, the others looked at him like an idiot.
Moreover, he hadn’t seen Xiang Yin, which frustrated Meng Fan greatly.
If Meng Fan knew that Ye Chen had killed eight Lord Level monsters above LV50, he might not be acting so arrogantly.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t there at the time, so he didn’t know.
Shortly after, Celestial Net arrived, with someone following, carrying a thick stack of red certificates.
Celestial Net signaled everyone to quiet down, and the first matter he addressed was the fallen colleagues like Xiang Yin.
Celestial Net presented honor certificates to all of them, and unexpectedly, even Meng Ren, that despicable creature, was reported by Meng Fan for an honor.
While presenting these certificates, especially when Xiang Yin’s name was mentioned, everyone couldn’t help but mourn silently.
Meng Fan, however, was visibly delighted.
Having had some enmity with Xiang Yin before, now that Xiang Yin was dead, he felt immense joy inside!
