Chapter 247: Foundation
Chen Qing put away the pills, then returned to the meditation room to continue cultivation.
The next day, before the morning mist had completely dispersed, someone came visiting.
Chen Qing opened the door to find a middle-aged steward in brocade robes standing outside, with two guards with steady auras behind him.
Seeing Chen Qing, the steward's face immediately filled with a respectful smile. He cupped his fists, saying, "Could this be Young Hero Chen Qing from Tianbao Upper Sect? This humble one is Wang Lu, steward of the Xuanming Wang family's outer estate. On orders from our Grand Elder, I've come specially to deliver an invitation."
As he spoke, he presented with both hands a gilt-edged invitation faintly emanating sandalwood fragrance.
An invitation from the Wang family Grand Elder!?
Chen Qing's heart stirred, but his face remained impassive as he said flatly, "Much obliged, Steward Wang."
His gaze swept over the invitation's contents. As expected, it was from Wang family Grand Elder Wang De, hosting a banquet at the Wang estate in Tianbao City. The time was this very evening.
Wang De!
