Just as many gazes turned toward Luo Chengxuan and the others from the Mystic Sun Lineage, a faint commotion stirred from the crowd on the other side.
A woman in a simple yet elegant moon-white dress approached with slow steps. Her hair was styled in a light chignon, and her gentle disposition was imbued with a noble grace. It was none other than Ruan Lingxiu, the ninth-ranked True Disciple of the Jade Celestial Lineage.
Her arrival did not surprise the crowd.
Meng Qianxue was also from the Jade Celestial Lineage, and the two were said to be quite close. Ruan Lingxiu had come both to support her junior sister from the same lineage and out of concern for the outcome of the battle.
Her gaze swept across the entire area, pausing slightly in the direction of Shen Xiuyong and Qiao Hongyun to give a nod of acknowledgment. Then, her eyes settled on the empty Seven-Star Platform, her expression serene, betraying none of her inner thoughts.
