Chen Qing silently committed the two words "Grotto Heaven" to memory.
Qu He said slowly, "The benefits of being a True Disciple are many, but the competition is also extremely fierce. Due to past events, our True Martial Lineage is often restricted in the Sect's resource allocation. In the future, you must be extra cautious in your dealings outside. Don't easily give anyone leverage over you."
Chen Qing cupped his fist and said, "Thank you for the advice, Brother Qu."
After sitting for a little longer and finishing the Spirit Tea in his cup, Chen Qing rose to take his leave. "Brother Qu, you are a busy man. I shouldn't take up any more of your time. I will be on my way."
Qu He did not press him to stay, smiling warmly. "Alright. Take care, Junior Brother. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can come find me anytime."
Chen Qing bowed again, then followed the gray-robed old man away from the small pavilion.
