As the monks brought the ten chosen ones to a room at the topmost floor, one of them said, "Please wait here while I seek permission from the Grand Master of Divine Music."
After entering the room briefly and returning, he announced, "The Grand Master allows you to enter. Remember to remain quiet and simply follow the instructions given. Understood?"
The first few divine children nodded eagerly.
"Come in," the monk said as he opened the door.
They entered and found ten meditation cushions arranged in the center of the room; each person took a seat on one.
"Wait here," the monk instructed. "The Grand Master is currently purifying himself and will soon come to summon the divine presence for you."
Everyone sat quietly on the cushions. Chu Qingzhi observed Yan Zihao; his expression was calm, betraying nothing of his purpose here. Was he on some secret mission?
