After the incident with the master from Diao Hai Building, Jiang Wang temporarily halted his journey on Little Crescent Island.
Zhao Wuyan, having been duped once, seemed to have become enlightened and relaxed his grip on cultivation, spending his days enjoying the scenery and entertainment. Xu Xiangqian still doggedly followed him, pestering every day.
Li Longchuan, while handling the affairs of his family's Near Sea Archipelago, inevitably found himself co-opted into various endeavors from time to time.
Jiang Wang, however, refused to go out at all, not wanting to be used by Xu Xiangqian as a "bargaining chip."
He simply announced that he was going into seclusion, but in reality, he was both cultivating and waiting for the arrival of Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wuyou.
During these days spent observing the Near Sea Archipelago, he exchanged letters continuously with Zhongxuan Sheng, and the plan for rescuing Zhu Bijing was overturned and replayed time and again.
