Chapter 6: Fang Tian.
The tension in the Phoenix Soul Pavilion had barely begun to cool when the sound of deliberate footsteps echoed through the entranceway.
Everyone turned.
A young man stepped into the hall, his white robes trailing slightly behind him, his long black hair tied in a careless half-knot, and a silver tassel dangling at his waist.
His features were striking.
High cheekbones, straight nose, and eyes the color of midnight reflecting starlight. He wasn’t dressed in grandeur, but his very presence turned heads.
The whispers started immediately.
"Is that Fang Tian?"
"So handsome..."
"No wonder she got engaged to him..."
"A peerless beauty and a peerless face—it almost makes sense."
Elder Wu muttered under his breath, "Hmph. Shame all that beauty went to the one with no cultivation."
