Lin Xuan led Her Highness and Alpha into the main reception hall of the sect. Everyone halted their training, staring in astonishment as whispers spread like wildfire.
Inside the hall, they were greeted by Elder Lao Xin, who looked visibly wary of Alpha, though he maintained a respectful tone toward the sect leader's daughter, Lin Xuan. In a cold voice, the elder asked,
"And who is this stranger?"
Lin Xuan replied with confidence,
"He's a companion of Her Highness. He helped us greatly on our journey."
The elder looked at Alpha with hesitation, then stepped back slightly and said,
"Let's hope he doesn't cause any trouble. This sect went through a rough night yesterday…"
Alpha remained silent, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He murmured to himself:
"The energy here is unstable… Someone tampered with the arrays in this place."
Then Alpha said aloud,
"Heh, don't worry, old man. I won't kill or spill anyone's blood… unless they draw their sword on me."
