"My Lord, you want to go into seclusion?" Jian Longchen asked, seeking confirmation.
"Yes. I will be in seclusion for 3 day. Until then, do not allow anyone to enter. Absolutely no one. Am I clear?"
Though puzzled, Jian nodded. "I understand, my Lord. I will keep watch."
"But… are you really going into seclusion with this lady?" he added, casting a strange glance toward Shirley.
If a man and a woman entered a room alone and called it seclusion, it was obvious what others might assume. He couldn't imagine Lord Igaris using such a poor excuse for something so trivial.
Shirley blushed, understanding the meaning behind Jian's gaze, while Igaris calmly replied before Jian could say more:
"This is no ordinary seclusion, Old Jian. We are going to attempt to cross the mortal world and touch the heavens."
Jian's jaw nearly dropped to the floor as Igaris continued to explain.
