By the time he returned to Autumn Sun County, it was already afternoon.
Zhongxuan Laifu was anxiously pacing back and forth outside the clan estate and as soon as he saw Jiang Wang from a distance, he hurriedly went up to meet him.
"Young Master Jiang, you've returned! I thought you were cultivating this morning and did not dare to disturb you. When I didn't see you around at noon, I was nearly driven mad with worry. I even thought I had been disrespectful and angered you away!"
His anxious demeanor wasn't entirely exaggerated.
Indeed, he feared he might have touched upon a nerve in Jiang Wang's heart, a string that should not be touched. He worried that his good intentions might have inadvertently offended someone important.
"I just went out for a walk," Jiang Wang didn't elaborate, simply waving his hand, "Take me to your ancestral shrine. I will offer incense on behalf of your Young Master Xuan Sheng."
