Watching Shangguan Yun depart, Chen Ku heard the Grandmaster's voice once more. The man strode towards him and asked, "Young brother, is everything alright? If you feel your mind is not at peace, why not try this breathing technique..."
Chen Ku then heard a breathing technique imparted through Sound Transmission into Secret, audible only to himself.
*Breathe in deeply... Breathe out slowly... Breathe in sharply...*
He subconsciously tried it and indeed felt a cool, comforting sensation wash over his mind. The turmoil in his Heart Sea, stirred by Shangguan Yun, gradually calmed with the help of this breathing technique.
He couldn't help but look at the Grandmaster, both surprised and amazed.
"Thank you, Grandmaster, for imparting this technique," Chen Ku said, then hesitated slightly. "But this seems to be our first meeting. Why such special treatment? This breathing technique... it feels quite extraordinary."
