Chen Qing… became a True Disciple?!
Those few short words now felt as heavy as a mountain, crashing down hard on Shen Jiuhe's heart.
He knew better than anyone what it meant to be a True Disciple of the Celestial Treasure Upper Sect—it wasn't just the potential of a young prodigy, but real, tangible power and a formidable voice.
"So he became a True Disciple..."
Shen Jiuhe repeated in a low voice.
The conclusion he had drawn about Chen Qing during the last family council flashed through his mind.
'Thinking back now, what seemed like a trivial connection could have been a match made in heaven, but it was utterly ruined by the family's shortsightedness and politicking.'
Now Chen Qing had soared to the heavens. Not only had the Shen Family failed to offer timely aid, but due to the marriage alliance fiasco and their subsequent indecisiveness, they had become the laughingstock of Celestial Treasure City.
