Ye Qingchen first greeted Xiao Xiao and Ye Ying, telling them he was going to the Sect Main Hall to exchange his token for an Inner Sect Disciple's token. Xiao Xiao excitedly promised she would prepare a delicious welcome-back meal by the time he returned. Ye Qingchen affectionately patted Xiao Xiao's hair, nodded at Ye Ying, and then headed toward the Sect Main Hall.
Perhaps Li Qingfeng gave special instructions. The process of exchanging his token went surprisingly smoothly, far exceeding his expectations. Ye Qingchen had originally thought he would have to go to great lengths to prove his identity, especially since the Apprentice Alchemist Conference had just ended. Instead, the moment he stated his name, the Elder in charge of the exchange handed him a brand-new Inner Sect Disciple Identity Token. The Elder then explained the activity areas for Inner Sect Disciples and other important rules. Once the explanation was complete, Ye Qingchen took his leave.
