The Azure Emperor lay still with his eyes closed, and the two of them remained kneeling quietly by his side. After a while, he seemed to open his eyes with a hint of resignation and looked at the two of them.
"The two of you have always been calm and steady in nature. That girl is different from you; she has a playful nature and is quite mischievous. Now that she has sneaked out, let her go out and learn a lesson. You two should return to your cultivation and not worry about her. I have a strand of my divine essence on her. If she truly faces danger, I will appear to save her."
That girl was his disciple. No matter how mischievous or disobedient she was, she was still his disciple. He would never truly abandon her. However, using this opportunity to let her taste a bit of hardship was necessary.
