"Master, you've finally emerged..."
Ripples saw Gao Xuan coming out of the meditation chamber and displayed exceptional joy.
For over two hundred days, Gao Xuan stayed in the chamber without any activity.
Ripples, being young, couldn't bear the loneliness. She was particularly dependent on Gao Xuan.
Even separated by a thin wooden door, without Gao Xuan's orders, Ripples dared not barge in and could only wait bitterly outside.
So, upon seeing Gao Xuan, she was especially excited, running over to tug at Gao Xuan's sleeve coquettishly.
Gao Xuan gently patted Ripples on the head to show affection.
He casually asked, "Was there anything that happened during my retreat?"
"Not much happened. It's just that Hu Ji came to visit once, and Tao Jun, Zuo Wentao, Jiang Yunfeng each came once too."
Ripples wasn't too fond of them, commenting, "It seems they had no real business, except Tao Jun left you a letter."
