When Master Wei wakes up in the afternoon, the three juniors and their senior spend half an hour gorging and quenching themselves with what they have.

Sizhui is the first to stand up.

"We'd better get going," He has been quiet the entire time they've waited for Master Wei to wake up, and now, there is still an eerie air about him that Jingyi can't quite understand. "We can make it to Cloud Recesses by noon tomorrow if we leave now."

Master Wei's eyes clear up at this statement. Like a lightning bolt has struck him to his head.

"We're that close?"

"Yes," Sizhui replies. A softness gathers in his gaze, directed at Master Wei. Jingyi notices it. But in the next instant, it has vanished into thin air. As if it was never there in the first place. "Let's go."
