Lan Tian returned to the Hua Hall, silently rejoining Mr. Mo's side. Mr. Mo glanced at Lan Tian, his smile amiable as he reminisced with the other elders.
Bai Qingqing noticed Lan Tian by Mr. Mo and slowly made her way over, subtly nudging Lan Tian aside. She did it stealthily, and with the hall crowded with people, no one noticed her maneuvering. Lan Tian didn't mind and thought it was merely due to the crowd.
Peacock and the others saw her and blinked at her, but unfortunately, Lan Tian did not share a telepathic connection with him and couldn't understand the meaning in his eyes. Zhang Shenjing, however, was heading their way.
At that moment, the raucous garden outside suddenly fell silent, the music and singing all stopped.
"What's going on?" The dancing men and women gradually came to a halt, looking around in confusion.
"Who knows? It just stopped all of a sudden."
"The music just stops without a warning; what's this all about?"
