After receiving treatnt, Chen Zhen's injuries had mostly healed. However, if he wanted to make a full recovery, it would still take so ti.
Ye Tian looked at him and patted his shoulder. "For soone like you, being stuck here really is a waste of your talent."
"Sigh, what can I do? At this point, if I don't work here, where else would I go?"
"What exactly is your relationship with Chen Taotian?"
"He's a young prince. Although we share the sa surna, I'm not actually related to him. So the best I can do is serve as a captain of the city guard."
Hearing this, Ye Tian said, "Hmm. But I believe that if you work hard on your cultivation, your future strength will far surpass his. So I advise you not to keep wasting your life here—you should aim higher."
"But I've never had that kind of opportunity!"
He did want to rise up and show what he was capable of—but did he have that kind of chance? Just thinking about it made him shake his head. It seed impossible. How could soone like him ever encounter an opportunity to improve his strength?
Ye Tian found his attitude far too pessimistic. So he pulled out a manual and said, "Here, take this."
"'Rising Dragon Path'?"
"Yes. For you, I just might be your opportunity. Try cultivating with it and see how it feels."
"Alright."
He never imagined he'd stumble upon such a chance here of all places. It was truly unexpected—this was a prison, after all!
In the past, he had never once considered the possibility of such fortune. But now that it had co to him, he had to treasure it.
Sitting cross-legged, Chen Zhen began to cultivate. Sure enough, he felt that the technique was incredibly mysterious. After a short while, he felt completely invigorated.
"So powerful!"
He opened his eyes and looked at Ye Tian. "Ye Tian, the technique you gave really is strong. Why do you have sothing like this?"
"Hmph. To , this isn't anything special. As long as you keep cultivating with , you'll definitely grow stronger."
Thud!
Suddenly, he dropped to his knees and said, "I don't even know how to thank you. You've been so good to —I'm truly touched!"
"There's no need to thank . In truth, I could use a bit of care myself. After all, this is prison."
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, you'll live comfortably in this place. But that's about all I can do. Guards! Find the best room available and clean it thoroughly!"
"Yes, sir!"
A jailer quickly obeyed his orders. Not long after, a room was cleaned and prepared.
"Ye Tian, if there's anything else you need, just let know. As long as it's within my ability, I'll take care of it!"
"Alright."
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Well, there's nothing for you to do at the mont. I'll be quite comfortable here."
"But I can't get you out of here…"
"No need to worry about that. I'm not the least bit concerned about getting out."
"Really?"
"Yes. Don't worry—if I want to leave, there's no stopping ."
Ye Tian wasn't bluffing. He really believed this. If Chen Taotian thought he could just imprison him so easily, he was seriously underestimating him. Did he really think he could hold Ye Tian here? Not a chance.
"Well then, I'll take my leave. If you need anything, just call for —I'll definitely help you!"
With that, Chen Zhen departed. Ye Tian smiled to himself. Honestly, this place was rather nice. The room had everything he needed—even toiletries.
On the other side, Chen Taotian had initially ordered Ye Tian's imprisonnt, but to him, this matter was far from over.
"Hmph! You think you can get away with offending ? I'll tell you right now—there's no way this ends here. Ye Tian, you're dead!"
Holding Ye Tian's personal file, he had already investigated everything about him. After all, everyone had to submit their information when entering the city.
Now, Chen Taotian chuckled and said, "n, follow to the prison."
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Prince Chen Taotian led a group of n to the prison. But once they stepped inside, they were all stunned.
"What?!"
He was genuinely shocked—how could this be?
What he saw left him speechless. Ye Tian's "cell" looked nothing like a prison cell. It looked more like a vacation suite.
"What?!"
He was absolutely furious. Shouting, he called out, "Warden! Get over here!"
The head jailer hurried over. "Young Prince, what is it?"
"What is it? This man is supposed to be a prisoner—how can he be in such a luxurious room?"
"This…"
"Hmph! Don't forget where you are—this is a prison! What, do you think soone like him deserves to live in a room like that?"
"Apologies! It was Chen Zhen who told to do this!"
"Chen Zhen, huh? That man's really out of line. So whatever he says, you just follow blindly? Did he bribe you or sothing?"
"No, no! Not at all!"
In truth, he hadn't taken any money. It was just that they were on friendly terms, so he followed Chen Zhen's request.
At this point, Ye Tian spoke up. "Hmm. No need to bla him. If you must bla soone, bla . If I hadn't moved in here, none of this would've happened, right?"
"Hmph, at least you have so self-awareness!"
Chen Taotian glared at Ye Tian and said coldly, "But you're locked up now. Let's see how long you can keep acting so smug."
