Before your fellow cultivators, you must not be discourteous, but neither need you be overly humble and lose the bearing Qingyun Sect should possess as the foremost of the righteous path."
"Also, Xiao Yicai of our Longmen has already gone ahead to Kong Sang Mountain to investigate this matter. Should you encounter your Senior Brother Xiao, discuss everything with him more often."
The four exchanged glances, then answered in unison.
After looking over the four of them with pride, Dao Xuan Zhenren finally rested his gaze on Su Changqing. Smiling, he beckoned to him. "Changqing, you are the champion of this Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament. The sect has prepared a reward for you. Come with me, and I will hand it to you personally."

Su Changqing slowly stepped forward. After Dao Xuan Zhenren looked him over from head to toe, he said with great satisfaction, "Our first meeting was also in this grand hall. At that time, you were still just a little child. In the span of a single year, you have grown into a young lad."

Fortunately, your master, Shui Yue, took you in. Otherwise, our Qingyun Sect would have lost a Child of Destiny. As expected, one year later, you have astonished us all."
