After Guan Xin bid farewell to Ye Wuyue, she immediately used the Teleportation Talisman to return to Wenxin Heaven, not even pausing to greet Bai Yihuan.
On her way to Washing Ink Courtyard, where Yu Xuan Great Saint Wang Ding resided, she barely had time to say hello to her peers, making them realize that her return likely heralded bad news.
Upon entering the Washing Ink Courtyard, she maintained her decorum,
"Student Guan Xin requests to see Yu Xuan the Great Saint!"
In the room, Wang Ding was perusing ancient texts. Upon hearing Guan Xin's voice, he paused momentarily, then called out,
"Come in."
Guan Xin entered the Washing Ink Courtyard and pushed open the study door.
Wang Ding removed his glasses, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepening as he asked,
"What is the unexpected reason for your return this time?"
Guan Xin clasped her hands in respect and said,
"I presume Yu Xuan the Great Saint already has some idea."
