He silently wiped his cheek.
So...
After five years of separation, it's not just the Upper City that feels unfamiliar.
Even the closest teacher has become a stranger.
He softly murmured, a sound so small it could be ignored.
Chi Shou silently walked out from the cover of the black umbrella, not looking back and not bidding farewell to the teacher. He pushed open the gates of Holy Cross Academy, advancing through the pouring rain, but didn't walk for long. Several tall figures in cloaks were waiting for him in the empty campus.
"Dean."
Chi Shou looked up; the tallest figure before him was none other than the dean of Holy Cross Academy, also a prominent figure seated among the four council members of Upper City, Lie Renuo.
In terms of seniority,
Lie Renuo is an elder from the same era as East Continent's Gu Qilin, having experienced many wars, his physique remains quite sturdy.
