As the crowd gradually dispersed, Stella and her comrades remained behind, determined to trace the residual aura that lingered in the area. Despite their diligent efforts, their search yielded no results.
Meanwhile, Wang Jian made a conscious decision to stay in the company of Hong Meilin, Lady Zhuoran, and Bixi Shuyan. Sensing no immediate urgency to approach Guan Yin or Elder Hua, he believed that his previous interactions with Guan Yin had sufficiently improved their impression of him. Now, his plan was to discreetly organize future meetings with her once they returned to the capital.
Regarding Elder Hua, Wang Jian had his sights set on a visit to the Lotus Blossom Sect. Armed with the three unique skills he had gained by activating his enhanced physique, he held a confident expectation of a fruitful encounter.
