A rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire hall.
Creak!
The door sounded softly, and Lin Qian made his dazzling entrance.
Handsome and distinguished, with a lofty bearing, he strode in with a swagger that acknowledged neither kith nor kin. Holding a brocade box, he marched proudly to the seat of honor, sitting higher than Sect Master Tang San and drawing even more attention.
Only after sweeping his ice-blue eyes over everyone from above did he speak indifferently. "Who was it just now who said they wanted to be the Grand Supreme Sect Master?"
Tai Tan, Niu Gao, and Bai He all looked over at once. Yang Wudi gaped for a long while before finally coming to his senses.
For some reason, even his voice grew much quieter. "Hello, young friend. I am Yang Wudi."
Now it was the other three's turn to stand as stunned as wooden chickens.
Tai Tan said, "You weren't acting like this just now."
Niu Gao said, "Old Goat, you've changed."
Bai He said, "Quite a change, too. You're like a completely different person."
Yang Wudi did not answer, staring fixedly at Lin Qian-or rather, the box in his hands. Wisps of pill fragrance drifted from it, enough to make anyone's mouth water, especially a certain patriarch of the Breaking Clan.
Noticing his gaze, Lin Qian opened the brocade box. The medicinal fragrance grew richer, filling their nostrils, and Yang Wudi nearly became intoxicated.
He could not help adding, "It really smells wonderful~"
To his even greater delight, Lin Qian seemed to recognize his hopes. He reached his right hand into the brocade box, took out a pill, and handed it to... Bai He!
"???"
At that moment, Yang Wudi's mind was full of question marks. He watched the pills being handed out one by one.
