Upon hearing Madam Shen's words, Zhang Chen was momentarily stunned.
Madam Shen continued, "If ever the Shen Family should fall into hard times, and you see the descendants of the Shen Family wandering the streets, lend a helping hand if you can, to honor the bond of kinship."
Madam Shen waved her hand and said to Zhang Chen, "You may go!"
Zhang Chen bowed respectfully to Madam Shen and then turned and left the room.
Watching Zhang Chen's departing figure, Madam Shen sighed softly, slowly closing her eyes, seemingly drifting into sleep.
Walking through the brightly lit courtyard of the Shen Family, passing through familiar corridors, Zhang Chen silently sensed the mysterious Qi mechanism beneath the old Shen residence, noticing its fluctuations becoming more turbulent and vigorous.
At this moment, a hurried call came from afar: "Come quick, there are relatives from the Northern Land who have escaped back. Fetch the Eight-Treasure Heart-lock Pill quickly!"
