Outside the hall, He Yunye had been waiting by the entrance. He approached the handmaiden Tian Yu the moment she stepped out, and smiled with cupped fists, "Elder Auntie, is the Hall Master available?"
Tian Yu shook her head apologetically and replied, "Advisor, please return. The Hall Master is still cultivating. Now is not a good time to disturb him."
The expression on He Yunye’s face froze. This was already the third time he had requested an audience with the Hall Master. It was definitely the Hall Master using this as an excuse to hold him off, and intentionally refusing his entry—he was expressing his displeasure towards He Yunye’s handling of affairs. Otherwise, why couldn’t he simply stop cultivating?
Yet, what else could he say? Could he possibly force the Hall Master to come out of closed-door seclusion cultivation to meet him? He could only force out a smile and say with cupped fists, "Elder Auntie, thank you for your troubles."
