Wuque, it had been three days since Qin Yu and the others left. The whereabouts of the other Peak Masters were unknown. No one could say for sure if they were still in Wuque, but outwardly, at least one Peak Master was required to be present. It was to reassure everyone—both their own people and those outside.
Yue Zhijing was the publicly acknowledged Peak Master. However, those within Wuque knew there were other reasons for her presence.
Tiao Xiaojun, gravely injured, remained unconscious, his life or death uncertain. As for Zhan Lan...
The courtyard was serene and peaceful.
Yue Zhijing entered the courtyard and found Zhan Lan tending to a group of small spirit beasts raised by Tiao Xiaojun.
"Master."
Zhan Lan saw Yue Zhijing and came forward to pay her respects.
