As the crow flew and the rabbit ran:
Chu Qing's days passed in relative peace.
After replying to Princess's letter, he spent five days practicing nearly a thousand Limit-Breaking Skills.
Moreover, he successfully raised Golden Inlaid Jade to the proficient level.

His stomach felt a little unwell.
So he temporarily gave up.
It was worth mentioning:

That exceeded his expectations.
