Originally, when Chen Yuan entered the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List, and even the top five, Jingtai had the intention of summoning Chen Yuan to serve in the Capital, feeling that this young man could be nurtured.
However, at that time, he was shielded by the father of Zhang Xuan, who claimed Chen Yuan's accomplishments were insufficient, and with the Ascension Battle imminent, it might be more appropriate for him to stay in Qingzhou.
Jingtai thought about it and agreed, so he did not insist further.
In the end, Chen Yuan's status and cultivation back then were still too low; he had caught Jingtai's eye but was not taken too seriously. But now things were different. Chen Yuan had defeated all the heroes in the world to claim the top spot.
Having created a miracle for the court, he could not be judged by normal standards anymore.
