Tian Lei glanced around and saw the section where the participating disciples were seated. He walked over, passed through without drawing attention, and quietly sat down with them.
Though Tian Lei acted simple and kept a calm demeanor to avoid drawing unnecessary attention, it was nearly impossible not to stand out.
His robes made it unavoidable.
The Outer Sect disciple robes were red in color, while the Inner Sect disciples wore blue. Core Disciples were permitted to wear purple—each tier of the sect had a color that denoted its standing. But Tian Lei was wearing a robe that marked him as something else entirely.
A Personal Disciple.
And not just of any elder.
There were only two robe designs in the entire sect that bore such weight: one was a white robe, worn exclusively by the Grand Elder's personal disciples or those handpicked by other high-ranking elders. The second… was a black robe patterned with a silver phoenix—symbolizing the Sect Master's direct disciples.
