The group quickly left the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect. At Pavilion Master Zhang's request, everyone took off their sect attire and changed into their usual clothes. This was to maintain a low profile; otherwise, the Qingyun Sect's reputation would attract crowds wherever they went, which would hinder their progress.
Along the way, Li Zongrui was rather well-behaved. Although his gaze toward Ye Qingchen was still filled with animosity, he didn't resort to verbal assaults. This surprised Ye Qingchen. It seems the Young Sect Master's temper has cooled considerably during his two months of reflection. In reality, he isn't inherently bad, just overly naive and thus easily swayed.

Because of this, and especially for Li Qingfeng's sake, Ye Qingchen decided that as long as Li Zongrui could come to his senses, he wouldn't mind letting bygones be bygones.
