Yang Huai had quite a few complaints.
But he soon changed his attitude.
After the divine Azure Luan flew over, it drew in the wood-spirit energy of heaven and earth every day, blessing the surroundings. The greatest beneficiary was Yang Huai himself—it was as though he received wood-spirit energy every day, even tempered by a pure flame of wood spirit.
Yang Huai could not help but sigh inwardly.
"Fellow Daoist Azure Luan is a bird of refinement! No, a refined bird!"
From beginning to end, the divine bird remained so aloof and cold. It merely kept carrying over all manner of strange wood and feathers from somewhere, weaving them together until a vast, colorful nest gradually took shape atop the golden vine.
Inside the Daoist temple, its mistress appeared with the Jade Rabbit in her arms. She too noticed the divine Azure Luan building its nest upon the golden vine, but after a single glance, she paid it no mind.
Yet as she gazed at the cold, empty temple, she could not help sighing.
"They have all left. This place has become quiet again!"
Hearing this in her arms, the Jade Rabbit said softly.
"If Master does not like the quiet, I can summon some of my clansmen to come keep you company. I guarantee this place will not be lonely!"
It was practically itching to try.
The temple mistress shook her head slightly, remaining silent.
Yang Huai poured cold water on the idea from the side.
"What would you summon your clansmen here for? Could they understand Her Ladyship's heart? They would only add to her worries, I fear!"
The Jade Rabbit immediately refused to accept that.
"How do you know Her Ladyship would not like it? Maybe she would like my clansmen!"
Yang Huai could not be bothered
