End of the day: Talk with a disciple

Hundred Swords Peak.

Outside of Sect Master's Room.

After Yuan left the room, he immediately noticed that Xu Bao was nowhere to be seen. He was amazed by the reaction of the hidden guards. About Xu Bao's safety or being dead, he wasn't worried, because he told them about today's events after his fight with Ye Chen and Xu Bao the proof. Sect Master told him he would take care of it himself. And it seems he already did, but by notifying the guards.

"I'm sorry for doubting you, little brother Yuan." 

An elegant and guilty voice made his focus shift to itself, to Lady Guo Yu who left the room after Yuan.

"Don't worry about it, Sister Yu. You did your job as an elder." Yuan replied politely.

"...Sorry."

"Then, I will be leaving. Have a good night." Yuan spoke and started to leave.

"Goodnight to you too." Lady Guo Yu spoke and she also left in her room's direction.
