Ming Yue's eyes widened as she looked at the Sword Elder in surprise. This was something she was not expecting to hear from him.
"But what about your disciples? Are you not going to return to Heaven's Gate?" she asked him.
However, Elder Xiang just laughed at her questions.
"Eh, they can handle themselves for a few months. Besides, I'm an elder, I'm allowed to be outside! Might as well take this chance to stretch my limbs, you know. I'm sure you'd like to spar with me too."
"I..."
Ming Yue couldn't really refute his words.
"Alright then! That's decided. I can stay here while Elder Shen and Elder Hua can go back with Hongyu!"
As he said this, the air seemed to grow colder as the other two elders looked at him with a pleasant but ominous smile.
"Don't think you can escape your responsibilities like this, Didn't you recently take in a few disciples?" said Elder Shen.
