Whispers rose.
Even Matriarch Lin Xi, composed and reserved as always, suddenly stood from her seat, eyes widened in surprise.
She spoke first, her voice steady but touched with disbelief.
"Are you not Miss Xie Lin? The direct apprentice of Pill King Tushan?"
Her words struck the Phoenix Soul Pavilion like thunder.
"Pill king Tushan’s disciple?"
The other clan heads; Zhao Ming, He Long, and Wu Shun glanced at each other with expressions flickering between astonishment and unease.
The Pill King’s disciple appeared here?

Meanwhile, the girl in question—Xie Lin—appeared taken aback herselfvas well.
