The Heavenly Realm, specifically Adowa Peak, didn't experience any significant change after Lord Long Xiao left. However his absence was noticed by his closest fellows.
Odoye Palace---A Week After His Descent
---
"Goddess Ling Xing, my divine companion wants to depart from me because I commented on the looks of her best friend." LordChen's shoulders slumped.
"What exactly did Lord Chen say for her to make such a hasty decision?" Goddess Ling Xing asked, her tone soft, halo purple glowing as she sat in her blossomed lotus pod.
"I-I only said that Goddess Wei appears to me as the incarnation of Amaterasu." Lord Chen wiped his nose.
Goddess Ling smiled, but not at what Lord Chen's words, but at her own thoughts.
If Lord Long Xiao was present, he would probably say something like:
"That's why she's no longer wants to be with you.
Why compare her best friend to a Sun goddess?
You brought this on yourself, Lord Chen."
He would be certainly adding more to the fire instead of cooling it down.
"Oh Lord Long Xiao, where are you?" Goddess Ling Xing wondered.
Goddess Ling Xing began, her purple halo pulsing softly as she sensed the depth of Lord Chen's anguish. She leaned forward, her blossomed lotus pod creaking gently beneath her.
"Lord Chen," she called, her voice soothing .
"I understand that you meant no harm with your words but we must be cautious all the time with our words and compliments, especially when it comes to our dear ones."
Lord Chen's shoulders shook with every breath. "I never meant to hurt her…"
"I feel like today's session might take us a whole full moon." Goddess Ling Xing thought, a soft sigh escaping her lips.
Outside The Great Hall
---
The Four Holy Gods found themselves outside the Great Hall in search of Long Xiao. They had already visited to his palace but all they found were the words 'Off To Seek Enlightenment' on his door in a bold glowing font. The servants claimed that they hadn't seen him leave.
The Four Holy Gods then decided to wait outside the Great Hall because they assumed he'd be attending the meeting held by the Eleven Higher Gods.
"How do we know he's inside?" Lord Han asked quietly, pacing back and forth, avoiding the gaze of the two guards.
"Easy." Lord Bai smirked, snapping his fingers.
Lord Bai put the guards under a sleeping spell with a flick of his fingers.
"Lord Bai, we can't afford any trouble." Lord Han adjusted the sleeping guards against the wall.
"Lord Han, I don't know about you but I can surely afford it." Lord Feng affirmed, looking all smug and showing off his golden dragon necklace.
"Brother Feng, how about you afford some hair with it?" Lord Zhao teased.
"You..."He trailed off, the annoyance in his tone palpable, causing the clouds to go dark for a moment.
"Guys, guys, we came here to look for Brother Xiao, remember?" Lord Han said, trying to ease the tension though the atmosphere became colder, betraying his own nervousness.
They then peered through the door to see if Long Xiao was really present.
