Chen Zhongli had come to Jiangnan Province to retire ever since he arrived.
In Actual fact, Chen Zhongli was not as incompetent as Du Xiao and Su Xin had reported because he had always known what he was doing.
When he was young in the southern Martial Arts World, he was considered a prodigy of his generation. During the uprising of Great Zhou, he first joined the Three Xiang Martial World Alliance and later, seeing the potential of Great Zhou, he joined them. One could say that although he was cowardly and had not achieved much, being able to rise to his current position was no small feat for Chen Zhongli.
For most martial artists in Jianghu, they seek wealth and status through dangers, but for Chen Zhongli, he would definitely not take on excessively dangerous tasks. The riches obtained at the risk of one's life are not enjoyable if one is not alive to enjoy them.
