The Independent's meeting finally dispersed, and the last group of Independents each went their own way. Chen Shi and Li Tianqing started their journey back. Along the way, Li Tianqing remained silent, still immersed in the shock brought by the Independents' sharing of their skills, occasionally hopping down from the wooden cart to practice a spell or two.
At such times, Chen Shi would stop the cart and wait, without disturbing Li Tianqing or joining in, but letting him practice and comprehend on his own.
He could see that Li Tianqing had absorbed too many of the Independents' ideas and had reached a critical period of digesting this knowledge for his own use. To disturb him would be to interrupt his train of thought and inspiration, which was tantamount to ruining his future.
At this time, all that was needed was to provide him with as quiet an environment as possible.
