After Qu River left, Zhu Yu couldn't help but remark, "Brother Chen, Brother Qu really holds you in high regard!"
It was clear from the earlier conversation that since several True Disciples were fighting over it, this Elixir had to be incredibly valuable.
His tone was filled with sincere envy, but also a hint of pride, as if the honor were his own.
'I definitely made the right move by choosing to follow Chen Qing.'
Hearing this, Chen Qing simply smiled and said nothing more.
The two chatted for a while longer about some miscellaneous Sect affairs. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Yu rose to take his leave.
"Well, Brother Chen, I'll be..."
Before he could finish, a voice that wasn't entirely unfamiliar called out from beyond the courtyard.
"Is Junior Brother Chen Qing here? This is Han Xiong. Forgive my sudden visit, but might we have a word?"
Zhu Yu trailed off, exchanging a glance with Chen Qing.
'Han Xiong?'
'Why would he show up now?'
