Chapter 241: Prison Peak
Over the next two days, Chen Qing's small courtyard underwent a complete change from its usual tranquility.
Quite a few inner sect disciples, even some stewards, came to visit.
Most of these people came from aristocratic families or were attached to certain factions.
Their purposes were nothing more than probing Chen Qing's attitude and position. Secondly, they wanted to establish familiarity and form good relations, paving the way for possible future interactions.
Regarding these social obligations, Chen Qing's heart was extremely clear.
By nature he disliked noise and clamor, and even less did he wish to be prematurely drawn into complex factional whirlpools.
Therefore, he mostly just politely received them, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, then used the excuse of needing to consolidate his cultivation to send them off one by one. His attitude was neither enthusiastic nor discourteous.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yu's status at Xuwang Mountain rose with the tide.
Everyone knew he was Chen Qing's 'lackey.' Quite a few small groups at Xuwang Mountain, knowing they couldn't directly contact the reclusive Chen Qing, turned instead to curry favor with Zhu Yu, extending invitations to join their small circles.
