Zou Feng chose to leave Biyou Palace after the Celestial Essence Sword Sect's retreat, confident that there would be no trouble.
After all, he wasn't a deserter. On the contrary, he had genuinely pulled his weight when the Celestial Essence Sword Sect attacked.
Whether at Hundred-legged Ridge or Silk Cave, it was entirely due to his efforts that the worst-case scenario had been averted.
These were major contributions that numerous disciples had witnessed with their own eyes.
Furthermore, it was perfectly reasonable for Zou Feng to be in a hurry to get to Qingchuan City after the battle to check on his family.
So, even if the Biyou Palace Master returned and, on a whim, wanted to meet this Honored Guest Elder who had just recently joined and held a Demon Slaying Order, she would have to "regrettably" miss him.
Even better, the Biyou Palace Master would likely be busy preparing for the upcoming peak showdown, so she probably wouldn't remain at Biyou Palace.
