Mr. Yang paused halfway through his lecture, feeling a bit thirsty. He set the book aside, picked up the tea on the table, took a few sips, and then continued.

Regarding the incident of Sect Leader Gu meeting his master, Mr. Yang had examined several versions. Since there were no written records at the time, he had to rely on later retellings, which varied greatly.

Many details have been lost over time, leaving Mr. Yang quite puzzled.

He recounted each version to his disciples. Some said Gu Yuan and his master parted ways after meeting at the Cyan Vast Sect, completely severing their master-disciple relationship. Others claimed they discussed many important matters during those days and continued to maintain contact, unbeknownst to outsiders. It was said that Gu Yuan's success in developing the Cyan Vast Sect was due to his master's advice from behind the scenes.
