"Since Master Xuanzang has agreed to let Ye Chen go west, is there anything Ye Chen needs?" The Emperor saw that Xuanzang was still meditating, so he asked Ye Chen.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment. He was thinking about what he needed. Silver? It didn't seem like he would need it on the journey west. Clothes? He had some clothes that he could change into at any time.
As for servants and such, Ye Chen did not even think about it. The journey to the west was fraught with danger. Even if he had an immortal body, it was difficult to say that he would be absolutely safe, let alone those ordinary people.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this commoner doesn't need anything." Ye Chen couldn't think of anything he needed, so he didn't ask for anything.
"You don't want anything?" The Emperor looked at Ye Chen. His eyes were filled with surprise. There were too many strange things that happened in the hall today. The Emperor was confused.
First, Xuanzang had inexplicably agreed to let Ye Chen follow him to the west. Then, Ye Chen gave up such a great opportunity and did not ask for anything in return. This did not make sense at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I don't want anything. As long as I can go west with Master Xuanzang, this commoner is willing to give up my life." Ye Chen smiled at the Emperor.
"But this puts me in a difficult position. Ye Chen, you killed the demon first and then selflessly followed Master Xuanzang to the west. If I don't give you some reward, the world will laugh at me for being a stingy person."
"How about this, I appoint you as the West Conqueror. You will be responsible for protecting Master Xuanzang on the journey west. What do you think?" The Emperor probed.
Ye Chen knew that the Emperor was already giving him face. Usually, many people wanted the Emperor to reward them, but it was impossible. Now that the reward was in front of him, it would be too much if he didn't want it.
"This commoner thanks the Emperor for his kindness. Rest assured, Your Majesty. This commoner will definitely escort Master Xuanzang safely to the location of the scriptures. I will not betray Your Majesty's trust!" Ye Chen was about to kneel when the Emperor stopped him.
"My beloved minister, there's no need to be so courteous. Wei Zheng, take our Western Pacifying General to choose a suitable weapon. There will be many monsters along the way, so naturally, we can't avoid fighting and killing. Having a weapon is better than nothing."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The coachman beside Ye Chen finished speaking and looked at Ye Chen. "Let's go, Gongzi Ye, oh no, it's General Ye now. I'll take you to choose a weapon."
Ye Chen was completely stunned. He stared at the coachman in front of him with wide eyes. "Wei Zheng, Lord Wei?"
"That's me." Wei Zheng bowed. Ye Chen couldn't see the appearance of a prominent official. If the Emperor didn't explain, Ye Chen would still think that he was just a small official.
"I didn't expect that today, not only would I see the Emperor, but also Lord Wei, Lord Wei, would drive for me. Today, I'm really …" Ye Chen was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. The Emperor and Wei Zheng saw his appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, General Ye, let's go." Wei Zheng finished speaking and took the excited Ye Chen out of the hall.
"Master Xuanzang, why did you suddenly change your mind and want to take Ye Chen with you?" After Wei Zheng and Ye Chen left, the Emperor suddenly asked Xuanzang.
"Amitabha. To be honest, Your Majesty, Gongzi Ye's identity is extraordinary. I feel the breath of Buddha on him." Xuanzang stood up and put his hands together.
