He Xingwen was Shen Zhiming's prized student, so naturally, he was extremely well-informed.
He knew that although Chen Cheng was just an ordinary Purple-clothed Guard from the Demon Suppression Department, with an official rank slightly lower than that of County Magistrate Shen Zhiming, his status and position within the Shen Family's Demon-slaying Team were the most revered, faintly surpassing even Shen Zhiming's.
In Chen Cheng's presence, even the dignified County Magistrate Shen Zhiming dared not refer to himself with the authority of his office, instead consistently using a subordinate's humble form of address.
Those few Perfect Martial Artists of the Bone Forger Realm also addressed Chen Cheng as either "Young Master Chen" or "Lord Chen."
This world placed great importance on status and hierarchy. The forms of address alone were enough to reveal how extraordinary Chen Cheng was.
In other words, Chen Cheng was a major figure, the center of everyone's attention.
