Rasoul, after his rebirth, came straight to Sundance Kingdom since the part of the dark forest where he found himself is closer to that kingdom. After the Monster tide and the tomb, he had the chance multiple times to pay a quick visit to his Master who, despite his outward confidence, is broken on the inside.
Rasoul didn't want to admit but he missed the Old Man very much. He picked him up from the orphanage when he was just 10 and ever since then, he has been guiding him on the path of cultivation. Rasoul who used to be called Clay in the world of Venera loved his Master like a real family.
However, now that he is free, he starts forming excuses to not reunite with the old man. He faked his own death leaving the Old Man devasted, he didn't know how to face him and talk to him after all he had caused him.
