The only considerations now were how many people to send and who, exactly, should go.
After Xiao Chen arrived, he chatted with Steward Chen outside for nearly half an hour before the conversation inside finally came to a temporary halt.
Upon entering the study, he immediately spotted five elderly men, all in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
One of them hadn't even attended the last Immortal Ascension Conference, yet here he was in the study.
His eyes were visibly clouded with age, but his presence was as sharp as ever.
Though he was only sitting, he seemed as straight and unyielding as an upright spear.
When they learned Xiao Chen wanted to go to Hezhou, both Chen Tianyuan and Chen Tianfeng frowned.
Elder Chen was even more direct in his opposition. "Absolutely not. You cannot go to Hezhou."
"Whether you want to focus on your cultivation in Cuiwei Valley or go to the Alchemy Hall to refine your Alchemy, I won't interfere."
