Gu Yuanqing left Wangxiang Pass and flew to a mountain peak several hundred miles away.
The little courtyard appeared, and its grand formation activated, shutting out the heavenly demons' aura. The air inside swiftly grew fresh again.
Gu Yuanqing reclined leisurely in the courtyard, poured himself some spirit tea, and took out a book, reading as he quietly awaited Li Miaoxuan's arrival.
About four hours later, Li Miaoxuan suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
Seeing Gu Yuanqing lounging so leisurely, she could not help smiling. "You certainly know how to relax," she teased. "Even in a boundary domain surrounded by heavenly demons, you're still in the mood to drink tea and read.
