Yuyan's timing for returning home was a bit delicate.
So Yino spent about half an hour explaining before he finally convinced Yuyan that he really was just helping Yunjin with training. Nothing more.
After that, as evening approached, Yino sent Yunjin on her way. After all, he had come back without giving any advance notice, and Yunjin still had her sect duties to fulfill.
Once Yunjin left, Ranmo Peak became much quieter.
Yino and Yuyan sat in the courtyard playing chess together for the first time in a while. While the peaceful atmosphere was nice, Yino could clearly sense from Yuyan's every expression and movement that something was weighing on her mind.
He tried asking about it. Yuyan didn't hide anything and slowly recounted the unease she felt from her conversation with her Master earlier that day.
When Yuyan asked him for advice on what choice she should make next, Yino couldn't help but grip his chess piece, feeling a strange confusion.
