At Chu Yunjing's signal, Li Mubai brought the disciple who had come bearing news before them.
"What happened to Shao Yang?"
Lu Feng stared at the newcomer and was the first to ask. With the Snowy Jade Crystal mask on his face, he had no fear of being recognized.
The messenger disciple froze for a moment. Seeing Chu Yunjing's tacit approval and that he did not take offense at Lu Feng speaking up, he hurriedly replied, "Junior Brother Shao came out of the Cultivation Room this morning with his hair in disarray, his eyes unfocused, and the spiritual energy around him in utter turmoil. Several close senior and junior brothers went up to check on him, but he shoved them all away."
"Indignant, they joined forces to attack him, hoping to make him calm down a little. We thought that since Junior Brother Shao could usually take on many opponents by himself, subduing him would be difficult. But unexpectedly, they took him down with ease. His fighting was completely without method, utterly chaotic."
"Later, Elder Tian came to examine him and said that Junior Brother Shao might have been under too much pressure and too eager for quick success, causing something to go wrong in his cultivation and damaging his battle heart..."
Lu Feng's expression darkened. "Where is he now? Take me to him, quickly."
Chu Yunjing interrupted, "A damaged battle heart is an ailment of the heart. No medicine can cure it."
After a pause, he instructed the disciple, "Go with Senior Brother Li and the other two, and bring Shao Yang here."
Lu Feng understood Chu Yunjing's intention. The urgency in his heart eased considerably. He let out a heavy breath and said apologetically, "I'm troubling you again."
Chu Yunjing spat irritably, "What kind of nonsense is that?
