Chen Shi'an nodded. "Rest assured, Dean Shen. I will keep my lips sealed."
Shen Junru smiled faintly. "Sect Master Jing, do come and visit the academy whenever you have time."

Chen Shi'an waved a hand. "What are you saying, Dean Shen? I have troubled your academy for so long today, and you accompanied me personally.
"I, Jing Yuan Ming, will remember this kindness. Whenever you have time, Dean Shen, you may visit our Earth Pill Sect."
Shen Junru's smile remained. "I will certainly pay you a visit when I have time another day."
Chen Shi'an nodded and lingered no longer. He turned and strode away.
