More than half of the New Year holiday was over in a flash.
Apart from visiting his master and Senior Brother Zhu Wushang on the festival day itself, Hong Yuan spent all his other time in secluded cultivation within his courtyard.
He didn't even participate when the Book Pavilion opened its annual seven-day super benefit event.
Big red lanterns hung on both sides of the training room's door. Couplets stating, "No man has a thousand days of good, no flower stays red for a hundred days," were pasted beside the entrance, with "Guard Against Arrogance and Rashness" as the centered, horizontal warning.
This served as a reminder to Hong Yuan about how to conduct himself. In a sense, it was self-positioning.
Inside the training room, figures blurred and the wind whistled.
Suddenly, Hong Yuan halted his charging steps and adjusted his breathing.
