Once Elder Jing left, Elder Sun sighed, "Why did he kill Bai Zhan? He didn't seem like a vicious person. Maybe he has a good reason."
Elder Sun would spend the next several days contemplating Yuan's situation.
Time passed, and the Bamboo Disciples continued to progress their cultivation. Xi Meili and the others began training harder than usual to improve their prowess as fast as possible to surpass Yuan so they could protect him when he inevitably emerged from his confinement.
When they were not grinding points at the Hunting Grounds, Xi Meili focused on her cultivation while Lan Yingying practiced her sword techniques with Tan Songyun.
Ji Ran focused on improving his cultivation and farming points alone as usual.
The true disciples eventually stopped talking about Yuan and Bai Zhan's death after many months, but that didn't mean they'd forgotten about it or stopped caring. They were simply biding their time until Yuan returned.
