Chen Jianmei had to admit that among all the students at Qing Xuan, other than himself, Shen Lian was the most qualified to reach the stage of Powang. It was very possible that he could achieve longevity.
He waited for Shen Lian's response silently. He did not look rushed at all.
His reaction was predicted by Yanxu. He could not spot an opening in Chen Jianmei's heart of Dao, but he understood that as long as something existed within heaven and earth, it would have left some traces behind. One could show no signs of weaknesses, but as anything was possible, there would always be a chance.
Yanxu used Shen Lian as a chance to escape from the bottleneck. At the same time, he delayed Chen Jianmei too.
