Criticism at the Cave's Entrance

As Fang Yuan sought advice from Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning in the peaceful surroundings of his cave mansion, outside, a contrasting scene was taking place. A group of newly arrived disciples had congregated around Jiang Chen, their faces adorned with eager smiles.

At this moment, a female disciple looked toward the still shut entrance of Fang Yuan's dwelling and said with frustration, "Why hasn't Fang Yuan shown up yet? Considering that Senior Brother Jiang Chen has been here for quite a while, it's really rude of him."

"Exactly," another added, agreeing with her, "having just regained his normal cultivation ability, he should have anticipated this crowd of visitors. Unprepared despite knowing this, Fang Yuan's hospitality certainly falls short."
