After Li Ya left, Gu An quietly placed Elder Chen's Storage Pouch into the Eight Scenic Cave Heaven and that same afternoon, he made his way to the Third Medicine Valley.
He roamed around, inspecting the gardens, his brow tightly furrowed.
After a long time.
Elder Tian finally took the bait.
He walked over and asked curiously, "Valley Master, why have you been frowning all this time?"
Gu An glanced at him and slightly shook his head without saying a word.
Elder Tian stepped forward and said, "Maybe I can't help you, but many things, once spoken aloud, become less stressful, and I can provide you with an outsider's perspective."
Upon hearing this, Gu An sighed deeply and recounted the events that had happened in the Outer Sect, including how Li Ya, at the Core Formation Realm's first level, got injured protecting him.
He mentioned Li Ya by name because he wanted the former Sect Leader to remember Li Ya's contributions.
