"How long will the Profound Celestial Instrument be staying at our Sect?" Su Chen asked.
Qing Cang thought for a moment before replying, "According to the original plan, they were supposed to head to the Royal Court after our people here finished using it."
"But after what happened, Lu Huai and his people probably won't be heading to the Royal Court anytime soon. I doubt they'll return to the Profound Celestial Sect either, so they'll likely be staying for a while longer."
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing, just asking." Su Chen breathed an inward sigh of relief.
'Once the Profound Celestial Instrument leaves, I'll have to go all the way to the Profound Celestial Sect if I want to borrow it again.'
'This kid...' Qing Cang looked at Su Chen, whose expression was as calm as ever.
At first, Qing Cang hadn't thought much of him. But ever since Su Chen had become one of the chosen, he'd faintly sensed an almost imperceptible shroud of mist around the boy.
