On the third day at Tongming Mountain, Fang Yuan watched with wide eyes as Master Chen left the house early in the morning with a joyful expression on his face.
"What's with Master Chen?"
She asked her Master with curiosity.
"I heard that he has made connections with Master Zheng of the Jiushan Sect..."
Her Master, seeing that Master Chen was not around, spoke a bit more boldly and whispered to her, "I heard that Master Cheng Kong has dispatched quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators to the Jiushan Sect, and Master Chen was chosen."
Fang Yuan nodded secretly; now, Master Chen got what he wished for and found a strong backing in Jiushan Sect.
Of course, he was happy.
But Master Chen returned with a sorrowful expression.
Upon returning, he sat on a stone bench in the courtyard without speaking, just staring blankly at the clouds in the sky, occasionally letting out a deeply sorrowful sigh.
