After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Yuan immediately went to meet Elder Bai.
Since Elder Bai was located inside the center court, Yuan had to leave the outer court and pass the inner court.
"Stop right there, Outer Court disciple. Only Inner Court disciples are allowed beyond this point."
The guard at the border stopped Yuan.
"I was summoned by Grand Elder Bai," said Yuan.
"Give me one moment."
The guard retrieved a communication jade slip and, a few moments later, stepped aside.
"You're free to enter," he said.
Yuan entered the inner court and went straight for the center court, where he was stopped again.
"I was summoned by the Grand Elder," Yuan repeated.
The guard also did the same thing as the previous guard.
A few moments later, Yuan was allowed to enter the center court.
From there, Yuan went straight to Elder Bai's office.
"It's Disciple Xiao Yang," Yuan said after knocking on his door.
"You may enter."
