Xu Ke looked at Duan Jia's face, recalling the past deeds of Duan Chongfeng, and waved his hand. "It's nothing," he said. "What did you come here for?"
Duan Jia didn't find it strange and immediately began his report.
After listening, Xu Ke stroked his chin. The main reason Duan Jia had come was to inform Xu Ke that Duan Chongfeng was on the verge of a breakthrough and was preparing to enter seclusion. Duan Chongfeng had been greatly stimulated by Xu Ke reaching the Innate Initial Stage, and with the added push from the medicine Xu Ke had provided, he was ready to advance.
As for why he had sent Duan Jia instead of calling, it was mainly because he wanted Duan Jia to get more medicinal herbs to increase the chances of a successful breakthrough. The relationship between Xu Ke and Duan Chongfeng was well beyond the need for such formalities.
