After leaving the Imperial Palace, Ling Chen went straight back to the Grand General's Mansion.
This time, Ling Chen also received a Thunder Sound Sword from Empress Yunyao. Though it's said that accepting a favor means you're indebted, Ling Chen had already agreed to join Empress Yunyao's camp, and it's not out of the question to repay this favor in the future. Accepting the advantage was thus done with a clear conscience, and he was in a very good mood.
Unfortunately, the words Empress Yunyao said last he didn't hear. Had he heard them, Ling Chen might be unable to laugh now.
Two days later, the members of the Ling Family set off back to Xuzhou.
When the party returned to the Ling Family, it undoubtedly caused quite a stir.
