A Note of Thanks

Thank you to all the brothers who have been keeping up with this book, commenting, and voting for it!!

With everyone's support, "Chongming Immortal Sect" has finally been signed!

Of course, Lao Bai knows this doesn't mean much. The road is long, but this is the first step on a ten-thousand-mile Long March, and it still has me a little excited.

So I'm posting this separate chapter to express my thanks.

Some readers might think, "It's just a contract. What's there to be excited about? And you even posted a whole chapter for it. How sentimental."

But the brothers who have been around here longer may know that this book was rejected both on its first submission and again on its cross-submission.

Lao Bai had nearly given up hope of getting a contract, but thanks to everyone's daily encouragement, I managed to keep going.

And since I might indeed be a little sentimental, I think a separate chapter of thanks is called for. ^_^

Thanks to Layman Lingyun, Brother Rice Soup, First-Rate Character Qi Kexiu, and Gold-Medal Undercover Tie Gurong for believing in this book from the very beginning. Layman Lingyun and Brother Rice Soup also helped recommend the book;

Thanks to Bai Yao, No One Understands Though I've Pounded Every Railing, Sea of Smoke Bookworm, So Cold, Wang Chengtie, Jian V, and Qian Bugu for their daily recommendation votes;

The daily comments from Bao Er and Nameless Mountain, Twenty-One Grams of Weightlessness, Blessed Zhou, and the Taihang Mountain Woodcutter kept me from playing solo every day, and I'm very grateful to them too.

Lao Bai still doesn't really know his way around the backend, so there may be readers who have supported this book, added it to their collections, and followed it daily but whom I haven't mentioned. I'm very grateful to you too.

My sincere thanks to everyone.

Lastly, special thanks to my editor, the great Qinghu, for fishing Lao Bai's book out of the pile. (Though the editor probably won't see this, I still wanted to show my appreciation. O(∩_∩)O)

Lao Bai knows that "Chongming Immortal Sect" is a new book by a new author, and a slow burn at that. I'm not very good at writing established formulas either, so even though I was lucky enough to get a contract, its future performance won't necessarily be good.

Lao Bai also knows his writing skills are still lacking, and the story he writes may not turn out to be all that exciting.

But as I've said, I'll keep writing it with care and dedication. I hope I can bring this story to a satisfying conclusion and give everyone a fairly good reading experience.

Thank you, everyone.

I'll write a little more today.
