Xu Yan was back.
He had returned with a large bundle on his back.
"Master, I'm back!"
Xu Yan put down the bundle and bowed respectfully.
"Good, good. It's good that you're back!"
Li Xuan nodded.

Li Xuan called Meng Chong over.
"Meng Chong pays his respects to Senior Disciple Brother!"
Meng Chong bowed respectfully.

Xu Yan grinned excitedly and opened the bundle, revealing Precious Medicine, calligraphy and paintings, precious jade, and other rare treasures.
"Master, these are the gifts I brought for you!"
"You've been thoughtful!"

Meng Chong watched with envy, muttering inwardly, *Senior Disciple Brother found gifts for Master in
