The Alchemy room has been lit up with Mu Yuelan's presence.
Many began to speculate why she was here, perhaps to give them some pointers.
That would be great.
But soon—
Their attention shifted.
Because they noticed someone walking behind her.
A young man.
Tall, calm, and handsome.
His presence was quiet, yet impossible to ignore.
"Who is that?"
Someone whispered, not recognizing Bai Zihan immediately.
Although many of them had seen this young master, it was mainly when he was young and had yet to shed his baby fat.
Now that he has grown up, he has changed quite a bit from when they remember him.
Then realization struck.
"Wait… that's— Bai Zihan!"
A ripple spread through the hall.
Even those who had been focused on their furnaces couldn't help but glance over.
The name alone carried weight, especially recently.
However, more than that, there was a hint of resentment on their faces, as if looking at an enemy.
The atmosphere grew subtly tense.
