"What are you all looking at?"
A flippant voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Whoosh!!!"
Zeng Shilin abruptly turned toward the source of the voice.
A figure came strolling through the air, a foxtail grass stem of unknown origin dangling from his mouth as he slowly stepped closer.

Zeng Anmin felt a pang of sorrow in
