Chapter 52: Third Dantian

Sun Liang, the Patriarch, wanted to meet with me. I knew it could only mean one thing—he wanted to discuss the matter of recruiting disciples for the sect. It was a task I found troublesome, but as the Patriarch, Sun Liang held authority, and I couldn't keep him waiting. I promptly made my way to his office after hearing about it from a sect member.

On my way to his office, I passed through a classroom where Qi Condensation cultivators were having a class with Elder Xue Li. I couldn't help but notice her deadly glare directed at me. I still had no idea why she held such animosity toward me, but I paid her no mind and continued on my way to Sun Liang's office.

A few knocks on the door and Sun Liang welcomed me in. As I entered, I noticed the scattered papers on his desk, and he seemed more fatigued than usual. I wondered if it was due to the upcoming recruitment or perhaps other matters weighing on his mind.
