Many minutes before Senior Bai went to meet Yuan and shortly after he'd spoken with Zhu Yuying, Senior Bai was sitting around a large round table with eight other individuals.
"What's the matter, Elder Bai?" One of the individuals there asked him after noticing that he'd suddenly spaced out.
"A little something," he said before turning to look at the goddess sitting at the other side of the table and continuing to speak, "I have been told that 'he' has returned to the Myriad of Techniques."
"He?"
Everyone in the room raised their eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
Even the goddess looked confused, so Senior Bai explained, "Do you remember that talk I had with you not long ago? That I'd met 'him' at my store?"
The goddess immediately stood up from her seat when she realized what Senior Bai was talking about, and this startled the others, as they usually don't see her act in such a manner.
