Chen Yi Was About to Set Sail When He Suddenly Heard Singing from the Shore! Along the way, Chen Yi chatted with the youth and learned that his name was actually Li Chengqian.
"What's your name?"
"Li Chengqian. My father is the Qianzhou King. Among the imperial clan, he belongs to the 'Ji' generation, while I belong to the 'Cheng' generation.
"When I was born, my Martial Dao master discovered that I possessed a Heaven Grade Root Bone. My father was overjoyed and directly named me heir apparent.
"Calling me Li Chengqian meant that I would one day inherit his princely throne."

Dagan was the name of the nation. Even members of the imperial family could not use it in their names; they had to avoid the taboo.
"Young man, then I must criticize you a little. You're already the heir apparent, and you have such excellent Root Bone. Why didn't you cultivate properly instead of sneaking out to play?
"At your age, this is the crucial time for cultivation. Cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current..."

Li Chengqian gave a bitter smile.

He muddled through his literary studies.
He slacked off every day in his martial studies, and even drove off several masters
