As they walked through the winding corridors of the Bai Clan Estate, Mu Yuelan occasionally glanced sideways at her son.
She hadn't had the chance to truly observe him until now—how tall he had grown, how calm and confident his aura had become.
She hadn't expected him to change this much in a single year.
Then she began to ask how he was and what it was in the Heaven Sword Sect.
Well, there were only complaints from him.
A short silence passed between them before Mu Yuelan spoke again, more softly this time.
"Zihan'er…"
He turned to her slightly.
"You're sure you're alright? I mean, really alright?"
Her concern stemmed from the fact that Bai Zihan had taken out the Dao Bone and returned it to Bai Xinyue.
Although she hadn't noticed anything wrong when she scanned him during their first hug, she was still worried.
She stopped in her tracks, forcing him to halt too. Her hand came to his arm, eyes filled with motherly concern.
