Hearing Ye Li's words, Ye Wujiu smiled and said, "Anyway, Grandpa doesn't know how strong you are now, but I know you must be stronger than I imagined.
But no matter what, you have to be careful. You only have one life. If you take a wrong step, you may not be able to continue practicing. "
As for the business, Ye Li naturally nodded in agreement.
After that, Ye Wujiu pulled Ye Li into a room, closed the door, and then said, "Ye Li, not long after you entered the Monster Mountain Range, Elder Qi and Elder Xue from the Imperial City came to the Ye family.
Elder Qi said that he has upgraded you to a Heaven-level disciple of the Imperial City in recognition of your saving the colorful princess of the Imperial City at a critical moment."
Having said that, Ye Wujiu's eyes suddenly became strange, and he stared at Ye Li and made eyes for a while.
When Ye Li suddenly heard Caiyi's name, his heart warmed up. A pretty figure in white suddenly appeared in his thoughts.
However, Ye Wujiu's eyes made Ye Li's scalp tingle, and he unconsciously wanted to avoid him.
"Ye Li, Grandpa wants to ask you, who is this colorful princess? Why is she worth risking your life to save her?"
As he spoke, Ye Wujiu's tone was a little strange, as if he was mocking someone.
Ye Li's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but stutter. After a long pause, he said intermittently: "Grandpa... this... this Princess Caiyi is the adopted daughter of the Emperor City Lord.
I…she and I are friends, so…so when I saw she was in danger, I went to save her without thinking too much.”
Ye Wujiu chuckled and said, “Well, since he is your friend, it is not too much for you to risk your life to save him.
Your status in the Imperial City should be quite high now. Elder Qi said that they are training you to be an inner court elder or a candidate for the next city lord.
At your current level, being friends with the princess shouldn't be too much of a stretch."
Although Ye Wujiu spoke clearly, there was always a sense of ridicule in his tone, which made Ye Li's ears turn red.
Not knowing how to respond to Ye Wujiu’s words, Ye Li could only say “hmm” a few times to get by.
After Ye Wujiu teased Ye Li for a while, he continued, "By the way, Elder Qi said that you can return to the Imperial City whenever you want, and you are free now.
They think that you have extraordinary luck and potential, and are not suitable for being trained in a sect. It may be more suitable for you to go out and explore the world.
However, if you want to go back to the Imperial City, Elder Qi said that they will give you the best environment for training and let you receive the most elite treatment.
If you ask me, Ye Li, you should go to the Imperial City. I think the Imperial City should be able to provide you with as many resources as you can get from outside."
Hearing Ye Wujiu's words, Ye Li showed an expression of noncommittal on his face.
He knew that Ye Wujiu could not understand his current situation. Ye Li had actually thought about this problem along the way. What he could get by returning to the Imperial City now might not necessarily be more than what he could get by adventuring outside.
Ye Li has already reached the stage of concentration. He no longer takes ordinary medium-sized forces seriously. Looking at the entire martial arts world, Ye Li can definitely be called a master.
Now that Ye Li has become powerful, he feels that a life of adventure is more suitable for him. After all, with his current strength, he is absolutely competitive in the fight for precious lands and spiritual objects.
After thinking about it, Ye Li said: "Grandpa, I may not go to the Imperial City for the time being. I still have some things to do. I will go back to the Imperial City after I finish them."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ye Wujiu wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he held back and nodded, saying, "Grandpa won't advise you. Your cultivation speed is unparalleled in the world, and you must have a very clear understanding of yourself.
The decision you make is definitely more suitable for you than what grandpa thinks, so as to practice cultivation, you just need to take charge of it yourself.
Grandpa is just reminding you again, you must pay attention to safety and don't try to be brave."
Hearing Ye Wujiu's words, Ye Li smiled and nodded.
"By the way, Ye Li, when are you planning to leave?"
After thinking for a while, Ye Li said, "Grandpa, I plan to leave soon. I came back just to see if there is any news from the Imperial City. After that, I plan to go to the East China Sea.
If anyone from Imperial City comes here again to inquire about my whereabouts, you can tell them that I will report back to Imperial City after I return from the East China Sea."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay at home for a few more days
Canglong and the others are helping to escort the goods. You can talk to them when they come back."
Ye Wujiu said.
Ye Li shook his head and said, "No, Grandpa, Canglong and the others are still at a low level of cultivation, and the cultivation experience I left at home will be enough for them to use for a while.
Time is very urgent here, so I won't stay at home for the time being. I'll go and take care of my own affairs first."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ye Wujiu did not persuade him and said, "Okay, then you can set off at a certain time. I hope you have a safe journey."
Ye Li smiled and nodded. Without any further delay, after hugging Ye Wujiu, he turned around and left the Ye family compound.
He first went back to the village where he lived, burned a stick of incense to his father as usual, then left Dahuang City and began to walk eastward, preparing to reach the coast of the East China Sea.
Speaking of the coast of the East China Sea, he remembered that he had a friend there, Lang Xiaoyao from the Lang family in Haidong City.
Lang Xiaoyao was also trapped in the forbidden area of Huahaimen and was finally rescued by Ye Li.
When Ye Li was in danger at Tan Tai's house, Lang Xiaoyao came with others to help him out, and gave Ye Li a token, telling him to go to Haidong City to find him when he had the chance.
Lang Xiaoyao is from a super first-class family and has great influence on the coast of the East China Sea. With his help, Ye Li should be able to get a large ship.
Ye Li estimated that he would need a ship no matter what, because the open sea was full of fog and boundless. Even if they knew the approximate location of the abyss, it would be difficult for them to reach there in a short time.
No matter what, Ye Li felt that he should go to the Lang family and seek some help from Lang Xiaoyao.
If he could get a speedy boat, he would be able to search for the abyss much faster.
After thinking clearly about his destination, Ye Li began to walk quickly towards the coast of the East China Sea.
Along the way, people from the Traveling Merchants Association would come to Ye Li from time to time to report to him about the situation nearby.
After all, they had experienced a chaotic war before, and there were many conflicts between many forces, and it was common for them to go to war with each other.
After discovering Ye Li's whereabouts, the Traveling Merchants Association immediately mobilized a group of intelligence personnel to follow him and help him explore the surrounding situation along the way.
