After a refreshing bath, he prepared a hearty meal with Qin Yao's help, and the two of them had their lunch soon after.
While at it, Yi Chen explained a few learnings about the Crimson Fire Arts to Qin Yao, who listened to each and every word of his with great curiosity and admiration.
"…how…It has only been three months since you've been gone, but it's as if Brother Chen's understanding of the Crimson Fire Arts has progressed greatly!
At times, I even doubted whether the person explaining those concepts to me was Master or Brother Chen."
Qin Yao said with a trace of disbelief evident in his voice. Hearing this, Yi Chen smiled subtly while thinking, 'For you, it might be three months… however, for me, it has been years.'
Taking a sip of the hot soup, Yi Chen changed the topic the next second, "During my absence, did anything happen which I should know about?"
"Hmmm," Qin Yao thought about it for a moment before remembering with widened eyes, "Yes, there is!"
