One Month Later...

Right now Chen Yue was preparing to leave the Magical Beast Forest where he trains and practice for a month. It was exactly one month ago since he leave the capital on his own only leaving a letter in his room before disappearing.

But, although he left the capital a month ago, he still knows what happened there from time to time as he just return into his room using kamui without anyone noticing.

At the very first day he left the capital was also the day when his grandfather saw the letter he left behind. When Chen Ruilong's saw the contents of the letter, his old face instantly pale and his expression turned vicious. He quickly sends the signal to ready the army. All his men that he stationed in each gates in the capital were all captured and put into questioning. The old man personally interrogates them and asked them if they see his grandson left the capital.

One week after Chen Yue's disappearance in the capital. The whole capital was still in chaos because of the mobilizing of the army by Chen Ruilong. Every house whether noble or common people were all inspected. Day and night, soldiers wearing red armors were walking in the streets while releasing a murderous air around them. Normal citizens were very scared whenever they saw one of those soldiers. They felt that they will be killed on the spot if ever they manage to irritate one of them.

Chen Ruilong also sends an army to the Magical Beast Forest to look for Chen Yue. But their efforts turned into vain as they didn't see even a single strand of his hair. Chen Ruilong was already fuming in rage and anger, while also extremely worried. Mei Yin on the other hand spends her day in daze. She will stand at the front of the Chen Family mansion and stares at the distance. She looks like a wife waiting patiently for her husband's return. When some young man with powerful background saw her standing there alone, they tried to initiate a conversation. But that didn't end well for them as they were beaten directly on the spot by Mei Yin.

The second week of his disappearance, the emperor of the Soaring Dragon Empire announce a shocking news in the capital. The emperor betrothed his youngest daughter, the second princess to the Young Master of the Chen family and the number one scum of the capital, Chen Yue.

The news of the emperor's betrothal to Chen Yue send massive shock in all the people in the capital. They didn't understand why the emperor do this. Everyone knows that the emperor has one son, the crown prince and two daughters, the princesses. The second princess which the emperor betrothed to Chen Yue was known as one of the most beautiful flowers of the empire. The princess is a genius in cultivation she already reach Qi condensation stage 7 in young age of 18. Aside from her beauty and talent in cultivation, the second princess is also a core disciple of one of the major sects in the empire. It was even rumored that she has a chance to become the sect master in the future.

The second princess who become betrothed to Chen Yue tried to voice her protest against her marriage. But the emperor only said that if she wanted to break the engagement between her and Chen Yue, she must first convince the general Chen Ruilong. When the princess heard that there is a chance for her to break the engagement, she immediately called for her escort and they went to the Chen residence. But what she didn't know was that Chen Ruilong was already in an extremely bad mood since his grandson left. That's why when the second princess tried to talk to him about breaking the engagement. Chen Ruilong's anger reach the high heavens, his face turned red in rage as she shouted loudly at the face of the second princess. All the second princess do at that time was to grit her teeth and clenched her fists until her nails dug into her palm. After several minutes of berating coming from Chen Ruilong, the second princess couldn't take it anymore and storm out the Chen residence.

In the third week of Chen Yue's disappearance in the capital arrived. The whole capital returned to its regular atmosphere. The soldiers patrolling every day and night was also lesson making the citizens breath a sigh of relief. Inside the Chen Family residence, the face of the old man Chen Ruilong is also returning to normal. From the letter his grandson left behind, he stated that he will only be away for a month at most. After doing whatever he can in the previous weeks just to find where his grandson went but only to face failure. The old general just decided to wait. Inside his mind he was thinking if his when his grandson returned, he will give him a severe beating and scolding.

But now, Chen Ruilong was facing another serious problem, and that is Mei Yin. Ever since the talk about the engagement between Chen Yue and the second princess circulated around the capital. Mei Yin act differently in the following days. She always wear a frown on her face as if someone has wronged her, and air around her was cold clearly opposite of her fiery attitude.

------------------------------

In this single month that Chen Yue trains in the Magical Beast Forest, he already mastered the use of his mangekyo sharingan, and also every jutsus in the Fire, Wind and Lightning style skill book. His chakra control is now also excellent. The reason he manages to achieve all of this in just a single month is because of the system's help.

In term of Qi cultivation, Chen Yue with below the average talent manages to become a Qi condensation stage 1 practitioner. But when it come to his combat prowess being a whole, he was comparable to a martial lord expert. Also when he was training, he also hunted his own food making him earn some system points. Using those system points, he bought a skill book in the system called advance taijutsu. Although he still Isn't a master in taijutsu, he can use it effectively with the help of his kamui.

"System how many system points do I have right now?"

*Ding... Host only had a total of 3,400 system points in the system. Does host wants to buy something?

"Is there anything I can buy with that small amount of system pints?" Chen Yue asked. Because of the amount he spend in buying the advance taijutsu skill book, his system points that he earned this month drained.

*Ding... Host can buy a shuriken which is 100 system points per piece. Kunai for 150 system points per piece. Smoke Bombs for 300 system points per piece. Explosive Tag for 500 system points per piece.

'Flip! I think the price of this things is higher than I expected' Chen Yue said inside his mind. But after contemplating for a bit, Chen Yue decided to buy, "System I want 15 shurikens, 2 kunais, 2 smoke bombs and 2 explosive tags"

*Ding... The total amount of the item is 3,400 system points. Does host really want to buy this items?

"Yes, I want to buy them" Chen Yue knew that after this, his system points will reach zero. But he knew he can just earn them now much more easier than before.

*Ding... Deducting a total of 3,400 system points...

*Ding... Host remaining system points has reach zero...

After the mechanical voice of the system sounded inside his mind. The items he bought appeared in front of him. Chen Yue nodded his head and sucked those items inside his kamui dimension.

"Now, its time to return" Chen Yue used the kamui and disappeared in the area.

In a road just a little bit far away from the capital, Chen Yue appeared using the kamui. In the road, he walks towards the capital.

"10 silver coins to enter the capi" the guard in the gate said. But when he saw Chen Yue, his face immediately froze. He stammered backwards before running off.

Just several seconds after the guard disappeared, he returned with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man stares at Chen Yue and said, "Young master Chen I already send someone to inform your grandfather about your return"

Chen Yue nodded his head and followed behind the man. They go to a room and he was served a tea. The middle-aged man sit in front of him and said with a helpless face, "Young master Chen the old general is really worried because of your sudden disappearance. Please don't do it again in the future. The whole capital turned into chaos because of what happened"

Chen Yue and the middle-aged man talk about the things that happened in the capital while Chen Yue was gone. Well Chen Yue already knew all of that even before the middle-aged man tell it to him.

"WHERE IS THAT BASTARD GRANDSON OF MINE!!" several minutes later, a loud shout came from outside the room. The middle-aged man instantly stand up like a frightened rabbit when he heard the shout. It was clear that he is scared towards the old general.
