Liu Tao heard Zhang Yan's response and seemed to put down a burden on his mind. He solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Then I must thank Brother Zhang. Liu is endlessly grateful. In that case, I'll not disturb Brother Zhang's cultivation further. I shall take my leave now."
Zhang Yan smiled lightly, also cupped his hands in return, and did not try to keep him.
After seeing Liu Tao off, Zhang Yan put the matter aside, reached into his sleeve, and prepared to take out the Wind and Thunder Fork and other Dharma Treasures to erase the essence blood. But while rummaging, his hand paused slightly. He suddenly realized there was an additional book in his sleeve bag.
He took it out to look, only to find that it was the Demon Sect Secret Scripture "Seeking Origin Scripture" that Han Ji had shown him.
At the time, because he had been preoccupied with talking, he had not had a chance to return it to Han Ji. Later, when Han Quande burst in, he had casually tossed it into his sleeve bag.
