Duan Xingyun fell silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the disciples staring at him with anticipation. He then spoke softly, "I was actually planning to discuss this matter with you all properly after you woke up."
"But…" He paused, looking at Lu Sangjiu with a serious expression. "Little Jiu, you still have unresolved matters, and you haven't thought everything through yet. So, let's wait until you've truly made up your mind. We can talk then."
Lu Sangjiu was taken aback. While she didn't quite understand his meaning just yet, the gravity in his tone was enough to show how serious he was.
After a moment's thought, Lu Sangjiu nodded. "Alright. I'll come find you then, Master."
Duan Xingyun nodded and turned to Li Qiancheng and the others. "Let's go for now."
The master and his disciples left first. Then Feng Lin spoke up. "Fellow Daoist Lu, now that you're awake, I can consider my mission complete and finally rest easy."
"Tonight… I'm preparing to return to my sect."
