But Guan Shouxin, who was supposed to start the proceedings, once again left everyone from the various factions hanging. He simply sat in the main seat, resting with his eyes closed.
Huixin and the two others seated at his level waited for a moment, but Guan Shouxin made no move to begin. Huixin's brow furrowed slightly, and he glanced questioningly at the two Three Talents High Monks beside him.
The two of them shook their heads, indicating they had no idea what he was up to.
Given the formal nature of the gathering, no one in the entire square dared to chat casually. Thus, the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.
Zhang Deming's brow was furrowed tightly. He glanced at Master Guan, who was still resting with his eyes closed in the main seat, then waved his hand to activate the Sound Insulation Array around their table. Looking at Song Huidong, he asked, "What's the matter with Master Guan?"
Song Huidong shook his head. "I'm not sure what's going on either."
