During the daytime, Yang Xiao was kept busy, gathering the people stationed at the Academy by the Patrol Defense Bureau for an impromptu meeting, mainly to remind them to be cautious and discreet in their actions within the Academy, striving to foster good relations with the Academy Elders to avoid any hostile sentiments.
Now that he had apprenticed under Sheng Yanlin, Yiling Academy was like a second home to him, and he wished not to see any unpleasantness between the Patrol Defense Bureau and the Yiling Academy.
He had also subtly reminded the Elders stationed by the Esoteric Sect about similar concerns, given his position as the young priest, his words carried significant weight.
In the afternoon, Elders Zhou Shen and Yao Yun sought out Yang Xiao, bringing news from the Esoteric Sect, though Yang Xiao's intelligence had lagged, as the Dharma Sect's plan had already been enacted.
