Tian Ye, without realizing it, with Zhao Meng's help reached her house without any issues.
Hearing Zhao Meng's voice sound, he was awoken from his half-asleep state, "My lord, we've reached my home."
Tian Ye opened his eyes wide in difficulty and as he did, he saw a long hallway. He pushed Zhao Meng away roughly and went into the nearest room and opened the sliding door.
"My lord that's my…"
Without even waiting for Zhao Meng to finish her words, Tian Ye slammed the door with a bang leaving Zhao Meng talking to herself with a wry smile on her face, "...room."
She decided to forget about it. Why does it matter whether Tian Ye sleeps in her room or in the guest room? What matters is that Tian Ye would be sleeping for at least a few or several hours giving her time to relax herself and breath peacefully.
She looked outside and saw that the sun was setting and that the night was about to fall.
She hurriedly went outside her courtyard that was at least a hundred square meters, to go out and report to the clan personally.
When she'd arrived at the gates of her courtyard, four guards bowed their heads in respect as the one who seemed to be the leader bowed, "Second young lady, the clan head has received the news from the head's brother, Zhao Wei. The clan head has tasked us to accompany you to him safely."
Zhao Meng said calmly, walking towards them, "Understood. Let's go now, there's no time to waste, I don't know when the lord will wake up."
The four guards with Zhao Meng in the middle, escorted her to the Zhao clan head.
Tian Ye on the other hand, inside the room, briefly noticed the girly design of the room but didn't spare it any more thoughts and let himself fall to the bed on his back.
As he laid down on the bed, he stared at the ceiling with his half-closed eyes and thought, 'Ever since I first cultivated, this should be the first sleep I'll have…'
He then muttered with a light drunken laugh as his eyes slowly closed, "What will I have…? A good dream or a nightmare… Let's see…"
Due to his high cultivation, even if he hadn't slept for days, he would probably still be full of energy but drinking wines with high alcohol content consecutively, it should help in making him sleep.
His sensitive senses also had to be taken into account because even if he had his eyes closed, the feeling of the soft bed, even through his clothes, was like touching it with his palms. Furthermore, with his spatial hearing, he could sense everything within the room, and some things outside within a few meters in diameter.
But… There were no living beings nearby which gave him a sense of relief. But if a person approached and opened the door or windows to the room, he'd immediately be woken up. With his cautious personality, if he didn't have at least this level of senses, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep but now, he could sleep at ease.
Whilst Tian Ye was falling asleep…
Zhao Meng had arrived in the Zhao clan's Meeting Hall.
The clan head of the Zhao clan sat in the middle by the end of the hall, his back facing the wall.
Meanwhile, the elders sat on both sides horizontally from the clan head and the pathway to the entrance of the hall. There 12 elders in total.
If Tian Ye was here, he'd be thinking and saying out loud, 'Damn! That's a lot of old men!'
The head of the clan, and elders, sat in their seats with a solemn expression.
Meanwhile, Zhao Meng, walked to the middle of the hall, facing the clan head directly, She bowed her head slightly before greeting respectfully, "Zhao Meng greets the head of the clan, Zhao Long."
Zhao Long, the head of the clan, simply nodded then waved his hand, getting straight to the point, "Were what Zhao Wei reported true?"
Zhao Meng nodded solemnly, "Yes, you should have also gotten the report of the 1st district's gate guard right? The one who's alive."
Zhao Long, who was hoping that the gate guard and his brother were simply lying couldn't help but scratched his head then sigh, but still asked warily, "How is that lord doing now?"
"Fortunately, he's asleep." Zhao Meng replied with a sense of relief, after all, in Tian Ye's presence, it's like she's walking on eggshells and those eggshells are simply like bombs that'll explode if you stepped on them.
Zhao Long nodded in relief as he said, "That should buy us time then, is it also true that he's really whimsical like your uncle reported?"
"Yes, incredibly so. He almost killed uncle a while ago because he frowned at him." Zhao Meng trembled remembering the scene at the third floor of the Moonlit Pavilion.
The elders on the side also couldn't help but feel nervous, it's like death was walking around the 1st district, and if you encountered it, it might grab you and end your life. They had already gotten how much stronger Tian Ye was compared to their clan head who was the strongest in the whole Yellow Leaf City.
Zhao Long just solemnly nodded and instructed, "Elders go and warn the young clan members especially the arrogant ones who like to use our clan's status."
"As you order, clan head." The elders hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly before going out immediately,
"As for Zhao Meng, my dear daughter, you have to do anything to get on that individual's… I mean Lord Tian's good side no matter what you have to do, do you understand?"
"Yes, father, I know the consequences."
Zhao Long then waved his hand, "You may go, if Lord Tian wakes up and you're not there, it might displease him. And if he'd like anything within the 1st district, give it to him, you don't need to consider anything and directly give it!"
Zhao Meng was stunned momentarily but understood the gravity of the situation, and that's why his father was willing to go that far. "As you order, father."
…
"Tian Ye! I've finally learned the 3rd Movement, Full Moon's Song of the Crescent Moon Sword Technique!"
"Hoh? Is that so? I'm happy for you." Tian Ye replied with an awkward smile.
He was currently talking to Zhao Feng, and there was one more thing… he was aware, this was a dream.
"Tian Ye, how did you think of adding this chant?" This time, it was Sun He asking for advice.
Tian Ye patiently advised, "Oh that? I thought of it because the word composition was similar to the breathing technique so when…"
After explaining for a bit, Sun He nodded and chuckled, "As expected, you're a genius, Tian Ye."
"Heh, Of course I am." He replied proudly.
Sun He then disappeared and was replaced with Yang Wei, "Tian Ye, let's spar. I think I can win this time."
"Is that so? Let me see your progress."
It was then his master's time, and his master nodded with a gentle smile, "You've learned the 3rd Form, Returning Tide?"
As he patted Tian Ye's head, he praised, "I'm proud of you."
And lastly, this time, it was himself, with a smile that's not a smile, and lifeless eyes, asking, "Are you okay?"
Hearing these words, he immediately woke up. His eyes widened, then it frowned in displeasure.
He rolled around the soft bed for a while, but then decided to stand up, and open the sliding door, as he opened it, in the open hallway, Zhao Meng was sitting by the side startled, as if she had been sleeping.
Zhao Meng then stood up from her original sleeping position, and greeted, "You're awake, my lord."
Tian Ye's eyes narrowed but then turned his back to Zhao Meng reminding, "There's dried saliva by your lips, go and wash yourself first. I'm going to the Moonlit Pavilion to drink."
Zhao Meng hearing Tian Ye's words couldn't help but be embarrassed but she bowed, "Yes, my lord, have a safe trip outside. I'll follow after making myself presentable."
Tian Ye just waved his hand and went to the Moonlit Pavilion first thing in the morning.
And what surprised him was that Li Hua was already there, and she greeted him charmingly, "Isn't this Lord Tian, would you like to have breakfast?"
"As the owner, you actually wake up so early to tend to your store?"
Li Hua chuckled, "Of course, my lord. I have to make sure that my waiters and waitresses treat my guest right and that my chefs cook good food."
"No wonder, your restaurant is so good despite not being a part of the 4 great clans, you have a good managing ability."
"I'll accept your praise gratefully, Lord Tian. Would you like breakfast?"
"No, I just want wine." Tian Ye bluntly replied as he walked up the stairs.
Li Hua just bowed as she watched Tian Ye go up, "Then, I'll bring it up to you shortly."
Tian Ye then sat in his previous seating position the day earlier, by the edge, watching the sun rise up in the sky.
Li Hua then arrived a few minutes later, he drank from the wine jar directly and said, "One more."
"Yes, Lord Tian."
This time, upon coming back, Li Hua brought 10 wine jars at the same time making Tian Ye nod in satisfaction.
He drank all the wine up within the next 30 minutes and asked for more,
Li Hua couldn't help but express her worry, "My lord, you've drunk 10 wine jars already and your face is all red, are you sure you want more?"
Tian Ye then turned to Li Hua with a red face and a smile, "I don't remember if Zhao Meng had told you before but I will tell you this time and only this time. I don't like repeating myself, Owner Li."
Li Hua hurriedly bowed in fear, and said, "Yes, Lord Tian, I'll bring it up to you within a moment or two."
"Um." Tian Ye just nodded, his eyes fixed throughout the Yellow Leaf City.
