Having learned the whereabouts of the three Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he still lacked, Zhang Yuan was pressed for time. Despite Wangyou True Person and Venerable Youkong's reluctant entreaties for him to stay, he chose to leave straightaway rather than sit down for a Dao Debate over a cup of tea.
He finally left.
Wangyou True Person and Venerable Youkong had the same thought, the great stone hanging over their hearts finally settling.
"Wangyou, what brings you here this time?" Venerable Youkong asked.
Ever since he had known Wangyou True Person, she had been renowned for her caution. Unless something important arose, she would never take so much as half a step beyond the Grand Hua Jade Heaven Sect's gates.
Now that Wangyou True Person had crossed the Central Land to seek him out, she surely had something on her mind.

At that moment, Wangyou True Person even began to wonder whether someone was secretly plotting against her, given her rotten luck.
"Very well."
