"Wangyu, I've been looking all over for you. How did you end up here at the back mountain?"
The person who had just arrived was none other than little monk Yuanle. Because his quarters were close to Li Dai's, he made a habit of dropping by her place every day after morning lessons. Today was no exception. When he arrived, however, he found Li Dai was not there. Upon asking around, he learned that she had been summoned by her master, Qianchan, early that morning. He had intended to wait patiently for her return, but then a monk he was friendly with mentioned seeing Li Dai leave Qianchan's quarters. For some reason, whenever he couldn't see Li Dai, he couldn't focus on anything. Just as he was trying to figure out where to look for her, he heard a tremendous commotion coming from the back mountain. Intuitively sensing it might have something to do with Li Dai, he had rushed over as fast as he could. If she really had done something wrong here at the back mountain, having him around meant he could tip her off in time and help her hide.
The reason he was able to get there so quickly wasn't because his cultivation was superior to others, but because he had used the tunneling location talisman his master gave him, which brought him here in an instant.
