In truth, there were still many rumors about Xiao Chen circulating in the outside world.
The news even traveled back to Li State, giving rise to several even more embellished versions.
However, Xiao Chen himself was no longer concerned with any of it.
The next day, he took his unneeded Spiritual Objects to Qiu Qichen to be auctioned off.
Afterward, he went to find Steward Chen to ask if the Chen Family had any connections within the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Of course, he didn't ask about the Spirit Vein directly. Instead, he pulled the classic "asking for a friend" routine.
He claimed that a friend of his wanted to do some business in the Cyan Cloud Sect's territory.
"The Cyan Cloud Sect?"
Steward Chen shook his head. "They're just a bunch of old die-hards over there. I don't really know anyone."
"You should advise your friend to come over here instead, or even just stay within the Lingyuan Sect's territory."
Xiao Chen then asked Chang Shunping as well.
