Of course, while Elder Long and Jian Xiao Yu were having their little conversation about Di Tou's nefarious intentions, Di Tou was simply sitting on a little stool, waiting outside of the hall for someone to pick him up.
As for why no one had bothered to come find him…
Well, it was both very simple and very complicated at the same time.
To put it the easiest way, everyone forgot about him.
Sect Leader Jian Ao Tian, after sending Di Tou out, had remained seated at the table thinking about a few things before pushing it all to the back of his mind and returning to his forge, deciding to let Elder Long figure the rest out, while Elder Long and Jian Xiao Yu were all sitting at the bottom of the mountain chatting and trying to discuss what Di Tou could have been plotting.
