In the arena, under the expectant gaze of the Ageless Celestial Emperor, Luo Xiu walked up to the Wordless Stele. He stood still, calming his mind and focusing his attention as he began his earnest observation.
Far away, Bai Mo stood quietly on a rooftop, his gaze fixed on Luo Xiu, his expression pensive.
It seems there shouldn't be any more problems.
Goodbye, little fellow.
Unnoticed by anyone, Bai Mo quietly departed as if he had never been there.

On the platform outside the arena, the completely featherless Lao Ba was puffed up with pride. "The Crown Prince is really something else," it crowed. "He's freaking incredible!"
Hearing this, the Ageless Celestial Emperor shot it a cold glare. "If you don't want your feathers to remain gone forever, then please keep quiet."
Lao Ba was so frightened that it immediately ran off, shouting, "I won't disturb you then! I'm off, haha!"
