"Where is he now? Do Guiyuan Buddhist Temple and Yue Lan Academy know about his situation?"
"They know. That's why Master is hiding in a safe place, which is... "
"Don't tell me."
Master Qi immediately interrupted Shu Guan, then asked:
"What is he planning to do next?"
"Master didn't say; he just told me to come back and find my fellow disciples..."
Shu Guan hesitated, then looked at Master Qi with a flash of complex emotions in his eyes:
"Master Qi, today... might be the last time I see you..."
Master Qi was slightly stunned but soon understood Shu Guan's meaning.
"You are planning to escape?"
"... If Master decides to do so, I will follow him!"
Shu Guan nodded firmly.
"You are Grandmaster Lu's handpicked successor; how can you betray the temple..."
Master Qi was initially shocked, but then it seemed like he suddenly remembered something, looking at Shu Guan with a strange expression, a meaningful smile on his lips.
