Outside George's courtyard, Vincent with Grand Elder Edwin and Inez, Forger Masters, the Flame Masters, and even the Enforcer Hall Vice-Masters were there!
However, despite their high statuses, they didn't dare bluntly intrude in the courtyard since they all knew George was in seclusion. They mightn't have been so restrained if they hadn't seen what happened to Bert.
But now that they have witnessed the Guardian Spirit's attitude towards George and the overbearing might, they naturally can't do anything excessive unless they find something against George.
However, they had already checked the formations and found that George's place had always been sealed. With the Chief Hall Courtyard monitoring formation, they didn't find any movement from George's courtyard. This also means that George had never left his courtyard since he had confronted those chief disciples.
