Bab 483: Popular all of sudden!

As I return to the Water Queen's place, I realize that the atmosphere seems pretty weird. Both of the women (young and old) are awaiting near the entrance for my return. Their faces look somewhat grave with a hint of worry in it. They seem to be softly discussing. 

[Hey ladies, what is happening?] 

My disciple steps forward clearly happy about my return. 

"Welcome back, master! I heard you were visiting the city. How was it?"

[Pretty entertaining. It's amazing to see how people adapt to living their daily lives with water magic. There is a definite charm to it. Anyway, you guys seem worried, what is happening?] 

Are we about to get attacked by some sect? If that's the case, I'll have to show them not to mess with my new home.
