The seven-day retreat was over.
Su Xuan stepped out of the Enlightenment Pavilion, taking a deep breath of fresh air. He felt like he'd put on quite a bit of weight during these seven days of seclusion.
His junior sister, Ying Lan, who had been waiting for him to emerge, was taken aback by his spirited appearance. She couldn't help but pause before asking, "Senior Brother, you didn't just sleep for seven days in the Enlightenment Pavilion, did you? You know Master intended for you to..."
"Not at all!" Su Xuan waved his hand. "I've been cultivating diligently day and night, mastering the basics of a new cultivation method each day!"
"Really?" Ying Lan was skeptical, as Su Xuan's healthy complexion didn't look like he had just undergone arduous cultivation at all.
"I would never lie to you," Su Xuan told Ying Lan. "Has anyone come looking for revenge these past few days?"
