Elder Master Xun stood with his hands behind his back, casting just one glance at the four formations on the Array Plate, and they all dissipated without a trace.
He walked straight out of the Tao Teaching Pavilion, followed the jade stone path in the middle of Taixu Gate, and headed towards the back mountain alone.
All the disciples along the way bowed and said,
"Elder Master Xun, greetings."
Elder Master Xun nodded and responded, "Greetings."
Upon reaching the back mountain, all the Inner Sect Elders, as well as True Transmission Elders, saw Elder Master Xun and bowed to greet him,
"Elder Master Xun, greetings."
Elder Master Xun just nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
Back at the Elder's Residence, Elder Master Xun brewed a cup of tea and instructed the boy outside the door, "Go fetch a register for me."
The Taoist Child outside bowed and said,
"Yes, Elder Ancestor."
Then Elder Master Xun sat in his room with a cup of tea, a scroll, pondering something while reading.
