After everyone left, Yan Rufeng took Niuniu but had not yet reached the sect's main hall when she heard someone calling out from behind: "Sect Master, someone is requesting to see you outside the sect."
Yan Rufeng stopped in her tracks and spread out her divine sense, discovering that it was Xuanmingzi and the others outside the mountain gate. She smiled slightly, turned around, and said: "Let them in."
"Yes."
Yan Rufeng put Niuniu down from her arms and kindly said: "Niuniu, Master has something to deal with. Go and play with Sister Moran."
Niuniu nodded, holding her candied haw, and skipped over towards Su Moran.
Yan Rufeng sat at the sect master's seat in the main hall. Before long, the Jieyin disciples brought in Xuanmingzi and his group.
Seeing this, Yan Rufeng said: "Please, take a seat."
Xuanmingzi and the others did not sit down. Xuanmingzi stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said: "Sect Leader Yan, we've come today with important news."
