Li Yun saw the situation clearly.
The timing of this affair was far too convenient.
He was an outsider and a Martial Artist, and Yu Huafeng had discovered that he had crossed paths with Great Black Heaven and the Blood God Cult. Whether he explained himself or not, suspicion would fall on him.
So the best way to clear himself now was to return to Clearwind Courtyard, go nowhere, and do nothing.

In short,
he remained remarkably steady.
So steady that Liu Chun and Shen He nearly began to wonder
