"I'm not going to claim that we have achieved everything we hoped for from the lectures, but it was still a great success. I'd like to thank you all for your contribution."
"That's an overstatement for such a small task. We were only doing what we could."
That night in the main hall, Gu Yu bowed solemnly at the priests of the monastery, while Lu Yuanqing and the others bowed back. When they took their seats again, the atmosphere had never felt so amicable. The credit of the very first public event of the cultivation community in the country should go to them all.
"We have imposed on your hospitality for long enough. Now that the lectures are over, we will be heading back to the monastery tomorrow," said Lu Yuanqing.
"Why the rush? How about staying for a few more days to wait until the whole thing is finished?" said Xiaozhai.
