On the other side, Xu Qi, Luo Xinyi, and the others also relaxed, chatting in low voices with disciples from other institutes they knew.
Just then, Li Wang walked over with a wine cup in hand and sat down in the empty seat next to Chen Qing.
Chen Qing asked, "How are your injuries?"
"Just a flesh wound. A few days of recuperation and I'll be fine."
Li Wang replied, "You, on the other hand, Junior Brother, truly made a stunning debut today. Now that your Mountain Prison-Suppression Spear has reached Perfection, Dean Peng is probably going to be in a foul mood for quite a while."
His tone carried sincere admiration, but also a hint of melancholy over their different circumstances as new chiefs.
Chen Qing raised his cup and lightly tapped it against Li Wang's. "Brother Li is too kind."
