Let's rewind time to when Li Ping'an just began his seclusion.
Azure Wander Palace.
Taoist Duobao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Six of the Eight Great Disciples of the Jie Sect gathered here, with only Guiling and Yun Xiao absent.
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and softly sang: "Ping'an has indeed gone to Xuan Capital City for seclusion?"
"Alas!" Mother Wudang sighed, "Sister Guiling didn't even warn us."
Qiong Xiao Celestial Maiden snorted lightly: "What's the use of a warning? His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor clearly doesn't want to offend the Chan Sect nor the Jie Sect, hence he avoided going to Xuan Capital City, where there is the eldest brother of the Human Teachings."
Jinling Saint Mother laughed: "Could it be, we've become one of the fishes of the Yin Yang dual fish?"
