Duncan didn't know if he had to wait for his master to summon him or if he had to present himself to his master. He didn't want to make any mistake because of such confusion, so he decided to be proactive and made his way toward his master's residence.
If worse comes to worst, he could always wait there for his master's summon.
When he reported to his master's dwelling, a servant told him that his master was currently busy and he had asked him to wait. With nothing else to do, Duncan decided to wait in the courtyard patiently.
After almost an hour of waiting, the servant came back and asked Duncan to follow him. Duncan followed the servant and came to the same backyard where his master had introduced him to the cultivation world. The servant stopped at the entrance and gestured for Duncan to go in. It was clear that the servant wouldn't be following him in into the backyard.
