Although from the sense of a modern person, calling out for a brick llike that would be really embarrasing, here doing that didn't matter. Well, except for Yun Shu finding it hard to hold back her laughters.
Bai Yunxian studied her for a long moment, as though searching for the catch, the trick, the hidden motive.
But Yun Shu's eyes were clear.
They appeared to be quite mischievous and teasing, but also firm, unwavering, and full of the quiet determination that only appeared when she decided that something mattered.
Finally, Bai Yunxian rose to his feet.
The crowd, already whipped into a frenzy, fell momentarily silent as the infamous Palace Lord stepped onto the lotus pavement. His black robes fluttered in the night wind, his aura restrained but heavy, as if mountains moved at his command.
Every cultivator froze.
"He… he's going to claim it."
"The Palace Lord himself finally came out!"
"No one else stands a chance now…"
