In the Taiji Palace, Daoist Hua Yang met Xuanfeng again and immediately asked, "Daoist Xuanfeng, I've lingered here for several days, may I ask when Daoist Master will be out of seclusion?"
In the past five days, Daoist Hua Yang came to see Xuanfeng every day, leaving disappointed each time. However, beneath the disappointment, his happiness grew each day.
Because the longer the delay, the higher the chance of something unexpected happening to Qing Yu.
"Daoist, surely you know that when a martial artist enters seclusion, there's never a set time, how could you expect him to emerge at will!" Xuanfeng replied unceremoniously, as if the incessant inquiries over the days had sparked his annoyance.
"But the Daoist Master is not in a death seclusion, why can't he come out for a meeting? Now the tension between the Daoist and Buddhist paths grows by the day, if Daoist Kucha emerges sooner, he can lend a hand to the Daoist path. Surely it mustn't be that..."
