Over the next two days, Chen Qing's small courtyard lost its usual tranquility.
Many Inner Sect Disciples, and even some Stewards, came to pay him a visit.
Most of these visitors came from Noble Families or were affiliated with certain powerful factions.
Their goal was simply to sound out Chen Qing, to see where he stood. They also wanted to make themselves known, build a little goodwill, and pave the way for future interactions.
Chen Qing saw these social calls for exactly what they were.
He was not one for commotion and was even more reluctant to get drawn into the complex vortex of factional politics so early on.
Therefore, he received most of them politely, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then saw them off one by one, using the excuse that he needed to consolidate his Cultivation. His attitude was neither overly friendly nor discourteous.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yu's status on Xu Wang Mountain rose as a rising tide lifts all boats.
