Needless to say, after what had happened, Ai was more or less put on 'house arrest'. Sure he could still go to the study and pill making room, but he was never alone. If Elder Fei was free, he would be around to teach the youth. When Elder Fei had to step out to handle sect matters, then either Wang or Mo Chou was around. Usually the two were together. This was only due to the fact that Wang didn't wish to be away from Ai to long, and Mo Chou was untrustworthy. The later also thought the same for Wang. Thus they'd just hang about in the background, glaring at one another.
