"Little Nine, how have you been during this time?"

"Yeah, Little Nine, I heard that cultivators from all over Beihuang have been hunting you down. Even the Academy, which never gets involved in disputes, has taken action against you. You must have had a tough time, right?"

"Little Nine, I'm sorry. Big Brother shouldn't have treated you that way. I never thought you'd be willing to come back after learning the truth!"

In the evening, Chen Bei and his brothers gathered at the Qianxu Palace in the imperial city. Chen Xuan, Chen Zhan, and Chen Xiao all showed concern for Chen Bei.
