In the evening.
Lu Chuan took a bath and put on some fresh clothes, thinking about how he was about to share a room with Situ Qinghuan, to end the karma owed to the Great Elder. Before doing that, he needed to develop a bond with Situ Qinghuan. He couldn't just wrap his arms around her and start kissing her right away; that would seem too unromantic. So he planned to find Situ Qinghuan first and have a chat with her.
He made his way to the Sect Master's residence. Even though Lu Chuan had become the Profound Sect Leader, this residence still belonged to Situ Qinghuan.
When he arrived at the door of the room, he straightened his clothes, then gently knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened and Situ Qinghuan appeared before Lu Chuan with a frigid expression.
At the sight of Situ Qinghuan, Lu Chuan immediately sensed something was amiss. For some reason, he felt that this woman had become frostier than before, suddenly putting up a barrier of distance.
