The next day.
Just as Yan Lei had said, Li Huan indeed appeared in Huanglong Prefecture.
"Brother Yang, Brother Bai, we meet again."
Li Huan strode into the Huanglong Prefecture Magistrate's Office, his spirits high.
Yang Fangyu glanced at Li Huan. It was clear the kid had reaped quite a few benefits since returning to the Qingzhou Royal Mansion.
"You rascal, I hear the King of Qingzhou only brought you with him to Ling Province this time. Not bad."
Li Huan chuckled. "It was all my father, the King's, idea."
Yang Fangyu snorted. "Still putting on airs with us?"
At this, Li Huan laughed heartily. "Ever since we parted ways in Dingzhou, I've been seeing my father, the King, much more often. And I have you two brothers to thank for that."
Seeing Li Huan valued so highly by the King of Qingzhou, Yang Fangyu was genuinely happy for him.
"Don't get too complacent. You absolutely cannot let your Martial Dao fall behind."
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Yang."
