Yuanshi was organizing the bookshelves, the jade hairpin in his crown gleaming softly in the twilight.
He sorted the Jade Slips into three rows by date, category, and importance, arranging them neatly on the shelves.
When Su Miao entered, his attention shifted to his disciple, who had barged in with her usual whirlwind energy.
"You're back."
Su Miao walked over to his side and recounted everything exactly as it had happened.
After hearing her out, Yuanshi placed the last Jade Slip in his hand onto the shelf and turned to look at her.

The Human Dao kept its word as well.
It directly opened all relevant Heavenly Dao authority to Yuanshi. A ball of golden light emerged from the void and fell into his palm. Like a drop of water falling into a lake, it silently merged into him.
