West Forest Province, a large Sanctuary.
A usually busy Martial Arts Hall had its doors closed unusually today.
"Master, are you really going to leave and go to that Green Shadow Sanctuary?"
A pudgy little apprentice in martial attire asked in astonishment.
The Martial Arts Hall Master was just over fifty years old but actually closer to seventy. His name was Gong Changping, and he ran the Changping Martial Arts Hall. Although his establishment wasn't as large as the biggest ones within the Sanctuary, the business was good nonetheless.
As the only teacher of the Martial Arts Hall, Gong Changping had some grayish hair at his temples. His face was kind and friendly, and his arms revealed under his loose martial attire showed no signs of muscles.
