Chen Qing no longer hesitated. He sought out Elder Deng Ziheng and declared his intention to join the True Martial Lineage.
Upon hearing this, Deng Ziheng clapped his hands and laughed. "The True Martial Lineage has a profound heritage! Though we're in a bit of a slump at the moment, we're in dire need of fresh blood like you! Come, I'll take you to True Martial Peak right now to meet the Instructor Elder and get you registered!"
With that, Deng Ziheng led Chen Qing from Xu Wang Mountain, across the Rainbow Bridge, and toward True Martial Peak.
Deng Ziheng was in high spirits along the way. He gave Chen Qing detailed instructions, saying, "The Instructor Elder on True Martial Peak, Senior Brother Pei Tingchun, is an upright man. Of the four Veins' Instructor Elders, he has the best temperament and is extremely patient."
