For several days, Chen Sheng remained in deep seclusion, immersed in his cultivation. He paid no mind to the outside world and showed not the slightest sign of changing his mind about the marriage alliance with the Nie Family.
This display of serene calm finally allowed Nie Xiangjun, who had been observing him in secret, to cast aside her last lingering doubt.
