(Brendan POV)
I watched as Master walked out of the pond in the garden while keeping himself dry with his powers.
When I said Master walked out of the pond, I really meant that He just strolled out from under the surface of the water like it was no big deal.
That was just another one of the weird places that Master thought to search for little Cai Hong, not even thinking that it was a weird place for her to hide.
I suppose if Cai Hong was using her own powers, she could potentially be hiding there but the current Cai Hong is acting as her childish self, so there's no way she would do that.
In fact, her real hiding place was back in Master's room where she had snuck in after Master had left His courtyard.
We received some concerning messages from the others in the Sect saying Master was acting really weird so I chose to follow Him to see what was going on.
