The next day.
In the provincial committee compound, within the courtyard belonging to old man Tang.
In recent days, Tang Ru had been diligently cultivating, striving to enhance her own strength.
Under a willow tree by the lake, Tang Ru was sitting in meditation with concentrated breath and a focused mind. Beside her, lay the snow-white Bone Zither. These past few days, Tang Ru always kept the Bone Zither by her side, even going to sleep with it in her arms. It seemed as if the zither had become the most important item in her life.
Old man Tang and Tang Zhan were watching her from the side.
"Father, Ru'er has been quite obsessed with meditation these past few days." Tang Zhan's eyes revealed a hint of worry.
"No matter," old man Tang said with a smile, "Ru'er is now a disciple of Grandmaster Guo Yi. Her method of cultivation is surely in accordance with Grandmaster Guo's teachings. Thus, we don't need to worry too much. With Grandmaster Guo present, all will be well."
