Three days after the fifth master and his companions left, Xiao Yeyang arrived.
Seeing the travel-worn Xiao Yeyang, Granny Gu's face filled with sympathy as she hurriedly asked him to sit down and rest.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and paid his respects to Granny Gu and Gu Jian before sitting next to Daohua.
Daohua poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Why did you only come now?"
At this, Xiao Yeyang paused in his tea-drinking, a smile in his eyes as he looked at Daohua, "Do you miss me that much?"
Daohua rolled her eyes, "The people you were looking for, I caught them a few days ago. Unfortunately, you never showed up, and now they've left."
Xiao Yeyang's expression turned serious as he set down the cup, "Who did you say you caught?"
Daohua, "The people from your portrait, that An steward, and what's-their-names, fifth master, Wu master, and the like."
Xiao Yeyang's eyes widened in shock as he abruptly stood up, "Where are they now?"
Daohua, "They left, just three days ago."
