He remembered that at the time, his three senior apprentices said they were going to the South Sea to celebrate the Dragon King's birthday and incidentally take a break to relax.
However, despite the multitude of incidents that subsequently unfolded at the Eternal Dark Abyss, they were nowhere to be seen. Logically, they should have been involved in such matters.
At that time, he had been somewhat puzzled by this.
Could it be that they really trusted him so much that they confidently left such a significant matter in his hands, while Song He wandered off elsewhere?
After a moment of thought, he shivered but didn't inquire further.
The whereabouts of his senior apprentices obviously weren't something his Mansion Spirit was supposed to know, right...?
"Master, based on my casual chats with other Mansion Spirits, your three senior apprentices should have gone to retrieve the Spirit Wisdom Flowers," it said.
Uh... casual chats.
