The doors to the True Inheritor Hall were always open.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from within.
Zhou Buping instinctively looked over, but the person who came out was not Li Qian; it was another Inner Sect Disciple participating in the True Inheritor selection, causing a bit of disappointment.
"The eighteenth one... The last one is Li Qian."
He thought to himself.
A lifetime's expectations were all entrusted to Li Qian.
If Li Qian also failed... then one could only hope for the next generation.
He remembered how many decades ago, when he had failed at comprehending the ancient painting during his own True Inheritor selection, his master's look of disappointment.
Hence, he swore in his heart to fulfill the last wishes of his master and the predecessors, guarding Yanmen Valley for decades.
After waiting a while longer, Li Qian's figure slowly walked out of the True Inheritor Hall.
He seemed very tired.
"Master."
As Li Qian approached, just about to speak.
