Wuyi had hidden himself well, but he guessed the pavilion had divined his whole faction, not just him; he could not hide the whole faction. But the needs of the faction were his needs.

After the agreement and payment, the lady decided to leave, opening the door. He caught a brief glimpse of Liwei before the door closed behind her.
Left alone, Wuyi began to study the manual, which depicted the life of Sage Zhenwu. Intriguingly, there was no painting of the sage in the hall. He started flipping through the pages, searching for the sage's cultivation techniques. Wuyi realized that, unlike the ancestors who were mere cultivators or immortals, only Zhenwu was called a sage. This distinction alone made the manual special, containing not just texts but also arrays and intricate illustrations.
