After securing the Huitianhua Sutra, Master De Yuan asked Luo Jing to leave temporarily and return after a week.
Although Luo Jing did not understand why he had to wait so long, he saw no need to insist on staying, so he bowed and said goodbye before leaving the De Yuan Taoist Temple. Saying he left, in reality, Luo Jing had arranged for people to watch over De Yuan Taoist Temple from not too far away. He didn't need to know what exactly Master De Yuan was doing, whether he was studying the "Essence of the Brilliant Sky Classics" or not didn't matter; he just needed to prevent Master De Yuan from secretly escaping with the Classics.
A week later, Luo Jing arrived at the De Yuan Taoist Temple as promised, but to his surprise, Master De Yuan had not sent a Taoist boy to welcome him in advance as he had the last time Luo Jing visited. The difference in treatment made Luo Jing realize that the matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
