My Problems

The elders looked around at each other, not expecting a direct confrontation from the sect leader. 

They didn't know how to respond and waited for someone to speak. 

"Sect leader," the Fifth elder spoke. "You were ill for a while before you were healed. Are you alright now?"

"Yes, I'm mostly fine, Fifth Elder. There have been some… complications, but it has nothing to do with my health thankfully," Ma Rong said. 

"Oh, complications? Is that why you went into closed cultivation? To deal with it?" the Fifth Elder asked again. 

"Yes, that was the reason," Ma Rong said. 

"So, was it such a bad complication that you had to ignore the sect handling?" the elder asked.

"Can we learn what sort of complication it was, and if you've solved it," another elder asked. 

"Oh right! I heard the Sect Leader awaken her constitution. Is that what the complications were about?" another elder asked.
