Then, her eyes shifted to Noa.
But there was… nothing.
Everything Mo Yuhua saw, including runes that covered the walls and hidden inscriptions wrapping the shelves, stopped moving.
No qi fluctuations. No aura. No spiritual force.
None of them approached Noa.
He just stood there, his arms crossed lazily behind his back, watching her with a hidden grin.
It felt like… he knew what went through her mind.
But instead of punishing her, he was amused by it, observing her with eyes filled with indifference.
Still—
No matter how deeply she tried to find something.
No matter how much she forced her eyes to notice even a slight trace of qi, there was nothing she could see.
Qi flowed around him.
Of course, it would.
It was part of nature itself, and the room was flooded by it.
But the energy that felt unstoppable never flowed through Noa, stopping just before touching him.
Like it was scared.
As if even qi was terrified of offending him.
