The old master indeed woke up after a shichen.
When Gu Li was informed he immediately ran to the tent followed by Mi Luan and then Master Wong who was not ready to leave his little disciple alone.
Master Wong was also distressed.
He had talked about leaving from here with his little disciple. But his little disciple was adamant to stay here for the fifteen days that he was granted.
So Master Wong could only give up and wait restlessly for these fifteen days to finish.

Inside the tent, Gu Li asked his master if he was feeling alright. The old master was now smiling calmly and peacefully just like before as if nothing ever happened. He nodded his head and assured Gu Li that he was feeling alright now.
Gu Li found his peace in that smile.
The old master looked around the tent and then asked Gu Li.
"Was I not bitten by a snake?"
