Xueyan's gaze shifted.
To Daoist Chu.
To Elyon.
To Meng Bai.
And finally—
Back to Lin Mu.
A realization dawned.
"I didn't pay attention before…"
His voice was quiet now.
"But… everyone here…"
He swallowed.
"They're all terrifying."
His tail, which had been wagging nonstop just moments ago, slowed slightly.
But then—
It started wagging again.
Even faster.
His eyes lit up once more.
"…This is amazing."
Meng Bai blinked.
"…He's enjoying this?"
Lin Mu simply shook his head lightly.
'Another one.'
Just like that... Their group had gained a new member.
One who wagged his tail like a puppy… And chased space like it was a toy.
.
.
.
It took a few minutes.
A full few minutes.
Only after pacing around the courtyard twice, speaking half-sentences out loud to himself, and nearly grabbing Lin Mu's sleeve again out of sheer excitement, did Xueyan finally manage to calm down… somewhat.
And even then, "calm" was a very generous term.
