"Good apprentice, when you return, thank my Lord on my behalf."
As he watched Qin Qingyun leave, Yi Chen gazed at the Qilin Holy Boots on the table and couldn't help but wear a faint, inexplicable smile on his face.
If Yi Chen thought King Jing sending the "Heaven and Earth Divine Gate Energy" a few days early was a coincidence the first time, now he could almost be certain that King Jing was playing a game of high expectations with him.

There is no love without reason in the world, nor hate without cause. In response to King Jing's treatment of him, Yi Chen had discerned a taste of the underlying truth based on what he had observed these days.
With his past life's intuition, if he wasn't guessing wrong, he was being treated as a prime material for an investment that was expected to pay off handsomely.
