In the early hours of the second day, Fang Zhou released Xuan Ling from the gourd.
After regaining her freedom, she left in a hurry, without saying harsh words or giving Fang Zhou any kind of glance.
By the time the sun rose in the east and everyone was preparing to leave Luofu Mountain, Xuan Ling had already quietly left, presumably too embarrassed to travel back home with Fang Zhou.
Yu Qing and Gou Cheng were not surprised by this. Xuan Ling was the most restless among the three true disciples, often playing the vanishing act. It would actually be strange if she followed them back obediently.
Only Chang Kong cast a meaningful glance at Fang Zhou. Last night, her Divine Sense detected Xuan Ling sneaking into Fang Zhou's room and not coming out until the early morning.
Under Chang Kong's gaze, Fang Zhou remained calm, his expression unchanged, as he hadn't done anything shady.
