"Nothing!"
Zhou Liang withdrew his gaze, yet a ripple stirred in his heart.
Junior Brother Yu seemed... somewhat different!
He had indeed sensed the subtle changes in Yu Ke.
Those changes were not merely superficial, but a temperament that radiated from within.
The Yu Ke he remembered.
He had been taciturn, focused solely on cultivation, as though he cared for nothing in the world beyond it.

Yu Ke's face always bore a gentle smile. It was not forced, but naturally revealed itself, like a spring breeze brushing across one's face, making others feel close to him.
What surprised him even more was.
Junior Brother Yu's skin had become fairer, his once-messy brows had been groomed neatly, and those eyes, once lifeless, had become sharp with spirit, as though they could see into one's heart.
Tall and jade-like, spirited and alert, with an icy elegance.

He had assumed Yu Ke would not come.
But now, it seemed he had come prepared!
