Liu Yi was stunned. He stood there gazing dumbfounded at Zhang Beixing, his brain's CPU running at full speed, frantically processing what had just happened.
Zhang Beixing, seeing Liu Yi taking a while to respond, grew somewhat perplexed. He pressed, "Master, what's the matter? Why have you suddenly gone silent? Could your old injury have flared up? You can't die on me!"
Hearing this, Liu Yi snapped out of it. He looked at Zhang Beixing and finally realized—the young Grandmaster Wu Hegui had been talking about wanting to meet the entire journey was actually his own disciple?
No wonder there was such a big commotion in Shishi, yet he, Liu Yi, was totally oblivious. It was a classic case of not seeing what's right under one's nose! Everyone had assumed that he, as the master, must have known about it, so no one had bothered to inform him. But how could he have known? He had been in seclusion, oblivious to the outside world, completely unaware of recent events.
