After a long while, Wang Guiyuan finally snapped out of it, his gaze sharpening with focus again.
He turned to close the courtyard gate, only to see Lei Jun lingering outside, looking right at him.
"Junior brother?" Wang Guiyuan called.
Lei Jun said, "I rarely saw you like that just now."
Wang Guiyuan replied, "Yeah, that's true, I suddenly remembered something related to the Taoist Laws, so I spaced out for a moment."
Lei Jun chatted with him about what happened in the Southern Wilderness, and after hearing it, Wang Guiyuan gave a bitter smile, "Junior brother, you still have to watch your back."
"Senior brother is right," Lei Jun nodded.
Wang Guiyuan remarked, "I still hope Master comes back soon. The Southern Wilderness now is a total mess—nobody knows what's going to happen."
He then told Lei Jun, "As I was pondering just now, I seemed to grasp something, so I figure I should strike while the iron's hot and shut myself away for a spell."
