"Ah..." Elder Tian sighed heavily as he organized documents in the recruitment hall. Months had passed, but he still hadn't fully recovered from that expert's attack.
The only good news he had received was about Long Qingyi, one of the disciples he held most in high regard in the sect.
The young man was alive and well, having had a fortuitous encounter that made his power and talent explode.
How could the old man not be happy?
He waited for days after Qingyi's arrival, but the young man simply didn't bother to look for him. Neither to take up the position of inner disciple, nor to receive his reward.
"Ugh... I should go after that brat myself!" Elder Tian gritted his teeth and stood up, taking a step towards the door.
Fortunately for his old and aching back, it wasn't necessary. His senses detected a familiar qi approaching and he stopped himself.

Qingyi walked calmly down the wide central street of the sect.
