The All-Talented Daoist was led away, his gaze upon Wu Wang filled with... longing.
Wu Wang emphasized several times that he wasn't adept at poetry and that all the verses he knew were things he had heard; yet the All-Talented Daoist still kept looking back every few steps, as if to warn Wu Wang not to go back on his word.
It wasn't until Wu Wang took out a Jade Talisman, copied a few sections from the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" onto it, and handed it over to the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, that the All-Talented Daoist finally left in earnest.
Only a few who knew Wu Wang's origins were now plunged into considerable doubt.
