Although Hu Yan appeared gentle and easy to talk to, very few people actually caught his attention. He'd had many admirers over the years, but the number of people he truly considered friends could be counted on one hand.
Hu Yan had always been intelligent and rational. He knew exactly what he wanted with unwavering clarity and determination, and refused to be swayed by anything else.
Even he, Zelda, had only been accepted because he had stood steadfastly by Hu Yan's side since they were children.
At first, he'd thought Hu Yan was only after the Blue Soul Stone and the design schematics. He assumed that once Hu Yan had them, he would leave without a second thought.
But he never expected Hu Yan to bring Bai Zhi back to the Main Star. While it was part of a ploy against Hu Ao, a part of him must have done it for Bai Zhi's sake. Otherwise, he could have shown up anywhere else, or chosen a much better way to reveal himself.
