(MC POV)
Things mostly went back to normal after Elder Qing formally took up the Sect Master's role.
The girls reported to me that they mostly spent their free time in self meditation while I was dealing with that fiasco, how diligent of them.
I made sure to remind them to go out and have fun sometimes, it wouldn't do if they ended up like the past me who only knew how to cultivate and not live life.
In fact, since they were making such great strides in their training, I decided to give them another week off, telling them to spend some time in Jin city to do some shopping or just to relax.
Though they seemed reluctant to do so, they finally left after some insistence.
