'So that's how it is,' Chen Qing realized.
For a True Disciple, breakthroughs in one's Cultivation were always the top priority. It was common for them to enter seclusion on short notice, even if it meant abandoning a mission.
Luo Ping continued, "After a brief discussion between Peak Master Luo and several Vein Masters, it has been decided that you will take Yanchi's place and accompany Ruan Lingxiu to Longze Lake."
"Me?" Chen Qing was genuinely surprised.
By all rights, even if Yanchi wasn't going, there were other higher-ranked, more senior disciples within the Human Position. For instance, the other True Essence Realm cultivators from the Nine Heavens Lineage. There was no reason it should fall to him, a newcomer who had just been promoted to the eighth rank.
Luo Ping gave a slight smile. "That's right. This was arranged by the Sect Leader."
