Qin Liuxi returned to her own shop and from a distance, saw her precious apprentice sitting cross-legged on the stone slab at the entrance, deep in meditation, which made her chuckle.
Teng Zhao seemed to have heard the laughter, abruptly opened his eyes, and turned his head to see that it was indeed his mischievous master, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Liuxi had not returned home all night, so he didn't sleep a wink, either. Although he knew it was unlikely, he still feared that she would leave and not come back, abandoning him.
Qin Liuxi had already approached and sat down next to him, leaning over: "Why is our Zhaozhao sitting here and meditating? Don't you think it's dirty outside? For your cultivation, I've set up a Spirit Gathering Array in the Daoist Room and inscribed it with Scripture Runes. There's also a Daoist essence inside. Cultivating there would yield twice the results with half the effort."
