"This ruler of Xue Kingdom is quite an interesting man!"

Yu Chen, secluded in his place of cultivation, received a message from his incarnation at Xue Kingdom's border and chuckled softly.

Then he contacted Shang Jun. After their previous exchange, Yu Chen's relationship with Shang Jun had improved considerably, and the two would occasionally communicate across the void.

Facing Yu Chen's message, Shang Jun said irritably, "You always come to people when you need them and turn your back on them when you do not. Contacting me so suddenly today—what is it you need?"

In response to Shang Jun's accusation, Yu Chen smiled. "I have only contacted you a few times. Where does this 'always' come from?"

"You know it has only been a few times! The last time, you beat around the bush to speak up for Tongming. The time before that, you asked whether the beast cultivators from your Dao Palace could travel freely within Shang Kingdom."

Shang Jun spoke casually, carrying the teasing tone of a joke between friends.

Thus, Yu Chen went along with it. "Put that way, I really have troubled you with quite a few matters. Unfortunately, every time I ask something of you, you refuse on the surface while secretly helping quite a bit."

"You cannot put it that way. I had long promised Tongming that he could choose his own territory, so naturally I could not agree to give him even more conveniences for your sake. As for the beast cultivators of your Dao Palace, if they are willing to serve in the military, that is a good thing for Shang Kingdom. Why would I refuse?"

Shang Jun casually retorted a couple of times, then asked, "Go on. What is it for this time?"

Yu Chen got to the point as well.
