It had already been a very long time since Chen Ping'an had cultivated or practiced his fist techniques, and he was still slowly recovering from his battle against Liu Laocheng. However, only now had he come to realize just how devoid of spiritual energy his two bonded acupoints had become.
Needless to say, the acupoint that had previously been home to his golden scholarly core was already in a state of complete ruin, and in order to wield Sword Immortal, he had completely overexerted himself, placing a huge strain on the water palace occupied by all of the miniature, green-robed figures.

The steward had been prepared to interrupt Tian Hujun's cultivation and incur her wrath, potentially at the cost of his own life, and he was immensely relieved to hear this.
Right as Chen Ping'an was about to leave, he suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that your manor has some maiden tea from Cao E Island that you would occasionally bring out to treat guests. Now that I'm already here, can I trouble you to bring me a cup of tea before I go?
