Master Huai Die let out a sigh of relief, then her breathing became uncontrollably rapid.
It took dozens of moments for her to calm the tension and fluttering in her heart, then she looked at the stone wall beside her. Because she hadn't been away for long, only a small portion of the sandalwood had burned, and its faint fragrance had just begun to diffuse into the air, calming her soul.
She felt slightly relieved in her heart and put down her final worries as if she were truly meditating in seclusion, taking elixirs, looking inward to guide her energy, but was disturbed by Xu Sixing's downfall and whether she was interested in becoming a steward of the organization, stirring her mind into unrest.
Even so, she still waited for a full two hours before getting up from the meditation mat, proactively opening the mechanism door, and asking the maid to prepare food and hot soup for her to bathe and change clothes.
