The Bai Clan—
As steady and imposing as ever.
Nothing seemed to have changed on the surface.
Yet the moment Bai Zihan stepped through the gates—
Several gazes subtly shifted toward him.
His absence for over a month had not gone unnoticed. Yet it wasn't uncommon as one might go into seclusion for years.
Bai Zihan walked calmly through the clan grounds as if returning from a casual stroll.
Before long, he arrived at the inner courtyard.
Where a familiar figure stood.
Bai Tianheng!
Hands behind his back.
Gaze deep and contemplative.
As if he had already been waiting.
"You're back!"
His voice was steady.
Bai Zihan nodded.
"Mmm..."
Bai Tianheng glanced at him briefly.
He was already informed of Bai Zihan's stay at the Mu Clan, though he didn't expect Bai Zihan to remain there for over a month.
"Since you're back… it's time to resume your training. To become the next Clan Leader, you cannot afford to slack."
Bai Zihan didn't respond.
He simply stood there quietly.
