Gongmin Chen chuckled and nodded before asking, "Ping'an, when do you plan to leave?"
"In the next couple of days."
Li Ping'an said:
"If there is still fighting on the East Sea side, I'll try to go around to the west. Let Minister Weiyen take me, and I can return to the sect within a day."
"Should I write you a reply?"
Master Chen laughed:
"Just write that the sect has received the letter and this disciple is outstanding, fit for outer sect cultivation. Ha-ha! The elders of the outer sect will probably fly over just to give me a beating!"
Unexpectedly, Li Ping'an seriously said, "I actually do need a letter from you, written just as you said. There's no need to mention that this disciple is outstanding."
Master Chen was taken aback: "Those were just words in jest."
Li Ping'an said earnestly: "We should be thorough in everything we do so as not to give others something to pick on."
