Chapter 367: That\'s a Lot, a Lot of Money

After a moment, Chen Chao had no choice but to immediately retract his gaze.

The moment he moved his gaze away from the paper, the overwhelming pressure dissipated instantly. Chen Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped his forehead. The large amount of sweat instantly soaked his palm.

Looking back at the paper filled with golden characters, Chen Chao did not dare to concentrate his gaze. Just looking at the one word before drained all the qi from his body. He felt as if all his strength had been sucked dry. He understood that if he continued reading, he would likely end up severely injured again.

Chen Chao put away the paper, making up his mind not to look at it again in the next few months.

After sweating profusely and taking about an hour to recover, Chen Chao gradually recovered, got up unsteadily, and headed towards the Left Guard\'s office.

Following Xie Nandu\'s words, that Commander Song was probably eagerly awaiting his arrival. In reality, Chen Chao also knew why. However, he also wanted to meet that commander at this moment. It had been a long time since they last met since their parting in the Divine Capital.

Arriving at the gate of the Left Guard\'s office, Weng Quan ran over from afar. Seeing Chen Chao, he appeared excited. "Deputy Commander Chen, my unc... Commander Song has been waiting for a long time."

Chen Chao was taken aback, his expression darkened. Damn it, this Weng Quan changed his form of address so quickly. He had not even handed over the official seal yet, and he already changed how he addressed him?

In reality, after the fall of the Xia Family, Song Lian had already been reinstated as the commander of the Left Guard. However, he was in no rush to collect the official seal, as it was not elsewhere but with Chen Chao. There was no need to worry about it.

Chen Chao glanced at Weng Quan and did not say anything. He quickly entered the Left Guard\'s office and saw Song Lian, whom he had not seen in quite some time.

Song Lian remained unchanged, just as he was before. His journey to the Northern Frontier seemed to have had no effect on this Great Beyond Realm martial artist.

Chen Chao took out the official seal and handed it to Song Lian, saying with vicissitudes of emotion. "Your Excellency, your return is truly unexpected for this lowly official."

Song Lian took the official seal, patted Chen Chao on the shoulder, and chuckled as he said "Don\'t think too much about it. This position will be yours sooner or later. I previously said I didn\'t want it. I told them you were doing so well, I would step down and let you take over. But who knew the Lord Warden Commander insisted on having you hone your skills a bit more. I couldn\'t persuade him, it was out of my hands."

Chen Chao just nodded in response to Song Lian\'s rubbish, not taking it seriously.

Indeed, he was not too concerned about the position of Commander of the Left Guard. Dealing with the defense of the Divine Capital was troublesome for him.

After taking back the deputy commander\'s badge of the Left Guard, Song Lian rubbed his forehead wearily and said, "If I hadn\'t known you were injured, I\'d have definitely had you help out with so many things that happened recently. Dealing with one Xia Family almost cost me my life."

Chen Chao joked, "When fighting a tiger, strangers will become brothers. When on the battlefield, be united like father and son. Why didn\'t you let that nephew of yours assist you?"

Hearing this, Song Lian lowered his voice and said, "You mustn\'t babble about such things. I\'ve always valued talent, and my relationship with him has nothing to do with being my nephew."

"Got it, got it."

Chen Chao dusted his hands and was about to leave.

However, Song Lian grabbed Chen Chao and asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"

Chen Chao was also equally confused, "Your Excellency, this lowly official\'s injuries haven\'t healed yet. Do you want this lowly official to exhaust myself to the point of vomiting blood here?"

But Song Lian was unrelenting, lowering his voice as he said, "Are you pretending to be clueless with me, kid?"

Chen Chao looked bewildered, "Your Excellency, what are you talking about?"

Expressionless, Song Lian stared at Chen Chao and said, "I didn\'t die in the Northern Frontier, and you\'re not happy about it, are you? You took Your Father\'s money but you\'re not taking care of things for Your Father?"

Chen Chao finally said helplessly, "Your Excellency, that matter is already a foregone conclusion. Now you\'re still unclear about it?"

Previously, when Song Lian left, they were practically on the verge of addressing the elephant in the room. It would be a done deal as long as the two took another step forward, there was no need for Chen Chao to intervene further.

Song Lian looked at Chen Chao with some embarrassment, seeming to have something to say but unable to express it.

Chen Chao frowned and said, "Don\'t beat around the bush."

Song Lian said with difficulty, "I don\'t know why, but after going to the Northern Frontier, it seems like I lost the courage to see her again. I don\'t know what she\'s thinking now. Would you accompany me to see her and find out her thoughts?"

Chen Chao nodded and said very bluntly, "Sure, but it\'ll cost you extra!"

"Do you still need money now?"

Song Lian did not understand. Chen Chao now had some reputation in the Great Liang Dynasty and even throughout the entire world. He was a young man in demand, and when it came to money, Chen Chao could have as much as he wanted.

But Chen Chao was indifferent and said, "Gifts blind the eyes. Your Excellency wouldn\'t be ignorant of this, right?"

Certainly, Chen Chao could have a lot of skygold currency. In fact, as long as he asked, the Xie Family would probably provide him with all the money he wanted. But after taking it? This was the same reason why Xie Nandu said that he only owed her. If he owed something to the Xie Family, it would be more troublesome to repay this favor later. And the longer the Xie Family waited to make demands, the more troublesome it would be.

So, if Chen Chao wanted a large sum of skygold currency, he could only work hard for it himself.

The Divine Capital was not like Tianqing County; there were not as many demons to kill. Of course, even if there were many demons to kill, he did not know how many he would have to kill.

Song Lian also asked solemnly, "What do you need so much skygold currency for?"

Chen Chao did not immediately answer, but instead drew the broken saber from his waist.

Song Lian had a puzzled look.

Chen Chao said, "This broken saber was originally only half, but this time I found the other half at the Sublime Bright Sect."

Song Lian smiled, "That\'s a good thing."

Chen Chao continued, "But the imperial court can\'t reforge this saber."

Song Lian was startled, suddenly thinking of a place, and said, "Sword Qi Mountain?"

Chen Chao nodded his head.

The majority of flying swords in the world came from Sword Qi Mountain. It boasts the best swordsmiths who could forge the finest flying swords in the world.

Under certain circumstances, swordsmiths were also experts in forging sabers.

Song Lian immediately asked, "But this is the fucking saber?"

Chen Chao had a helpless look. What did it mean to have to take his saber to a place known for forging flying swords?

Chen Chao lamented, "This means that I need countless skygold currency in order to have a possibility of moving those people."
