"Indeed, misunderstandings, all misunderstandings."
The green-shirted youth repeatedly echoed, relieved.
Shen Long instructed Song Yan, "You go back first! I have something to discuss with Taoist Friend Ximen and Taoist Friend Lin."
"Yes, Senior Shen."
Song Yan obeyed and bowed before retreating.
"Qingyun, you may leave as well! Try not to cause me any more trouble."
Profound Jade Hermit ordered.
Lin Qingyun complied and also left.
Shen Long sat down in the Stone Pavilion and started chatting idly with Ximen Hai and Profound Jade Hermit.
More than an hour later, Shen Long took his leave.
Leaving the Green Flood Dragon Garden, Shen Long made his way to Sun Yiyue's residence, where Sun Yiyue, Song Yan, and Song Sen were present.
"We pay our respects to Senior Shen."
The three bowed deeply, their expressions respectful.
Had it not been for Shen Long's help, Song Yan would have fallen into a trap.
