Somewhere between the Mortal realm and the Upper Realm.
From the Upper Realm, a flying carriage drawn by miniature dragons was making its way down. Hei Wan and Bai Hua, who had secretly departed the Heavenly Domain, were the ones riding it.
Achoo! Sneezing like this is Hei Wan.
Bai Hua said, "Why are you sneezing? Don't you feel well?" while passing a handkerchief.
Hei Wan said, "It's nothing, Hua'er. I just think my parents must be scolding me right now."
"We departed without their consent, so they might wish to go to Xiao Jing themselves," Bai Hua replied.
"They would be the ones attending his Dao Ceremony while we took care of the throne, so everything should be fair," Hei Wan added.
Bai Hua felt relief when he heard that and said, "That's good then."
