Chen Qing found a quiet corner, cast his line into the water, and felt his Heart and Spirit settle.
Fishing was a rare pastime for him, allowing him to temporarily forget the urgency of Cultivation and the turmoil Within the Sect. In the tranquility, he could sort through his thoughts and temper his mind.
Not long after he sat down, a sharp-eyed disciple recognized him.
"It's Brother Chen!"
"Greetings, Brother Chen!"
Several Outer Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples stood up, respectfully bowing and greeting him. Even the few Stewards present nodded at him with smiles.
The status of a True Successor Candidate, within the Celestial Treasure Upper Sect, already represented immense potential and high standing. No one dared to slight him.
Chen Qing calmly returned their greetings one by one, focusing on the float before him.
