After successfully breaking through, Chen Yuan didn't linger any longer at Tangshan Buddha. He swiftly returned to Yan King Mansion in Shuzhou City to consolidate his cultivation.
The matters in Ping'an County had long been resolved. Since he had recently annexed Qingzhou, his royal chariot needed to make a trip there to reassure the local forces and people's sentiments.
The real focus, for now, remains on Shuzhou.
After all, relatively speaking, Shuzhou serves as the central hub of his current sphere of influence, allowing him to better control the vastly expanded Yan Army.
As for Wang Ping...
Since that one time they drank together, Wang Ping hasn't visited Yan King Mansion in Ping'an County to see him, and the same goes for Zhao Nanshan, as if they have forgotten him.
Later, it was still a thread of his spirit that proactively sought them out, hoping they could join the ranks of Yan King Mansion in the future, ensuring a lifetime of peace.
