Chapter 383: Extending Life
Before long, Zhou Xiang walked in.
Chen Qing could clearly see that Zhou Xiang's injuries had not healed. Even after taking superior healing pills, his complexion was still somewhat pale, and his aura was considerably more insubstantial than at his peak.
Zhou Xiang cupped his fists and bowed solemnly, "Senior Brother Chen."
Chen Qing stood up and returned the gesture with cupped fists, his tone calm, "You're too polite. Please sit."
He gestured to the bamboo chair beside him and also returned to the main seat.
Between the two was a small tea table. After exchanging a few casual remarks, the atmosphere became somewhat harmonious.
Chen Qing poured two cups of tea and said, "Junior Brother Zhou came to visit personally despite your unhealed injuries. Presumably it's not just for idle chat."
Zhou Xiang was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Senior Brother Chen speaks frankly, so I'll be direct. In this Dragon Tiger Contest, I, Zhou Xiang... lost wholeheartedly. Even after taking the Hidden Dragon Pill and forcibly raising my cultivation close to eight refinements, I still couldn't break through your spear formation or block that spear of yours."
His tone was sincere, without half a trace of reluctance or jealous hatred.
