The Dao Discourse Gathering concluded, and the members of the Qingling Sect departed, with Mu Xiaochuan and his group of four returning to the Star Ferry Immortal Residence.
Mu Xiaochuan was in high spirits, contemplating how to indulge himself in food, drink, and leisure in the coming days. However, he noticed Leng Yunjian, Ye Lingxuan, and Ouyang Weiwei approaching with serious expressions.
"Brother Xiaochuan," they addressed him, having changed their form of address during last night's celebration at his request.
Seeing their expressions, Mu Xiaochuan knew something was up and smiled, "What's the matter? Why so serious?"
