After the grand ceremony concluded, Li Mu was just about to leave quietly, but Sword Master Feng's warm and strong hand gently rested on his shoulder, stopping him from leaving.
"Elder Li, wait a moment, hold on!" Sword Master Feng's voice carried a hint of laughter, penetrated through the crowd's noise, clearly and warmly reaching Li Mu's ears.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu paused slightly, then turned around to face Sword Master Feng and the gazes of many familiar and unfamiliar sword elders and sect ancestors around him.
With so many people watching, leaving was no small feat, and Li Mu displayed a wry smile.
"Sword Master, I have just formed my Dharma Realm, and my cultivation is unstable. I was thinking of sneaking away to go into seclusion and consolidate it!" Li Mu responded with a smile, speaking with some self-mockery and apologetically.
