Bai Zihan stopped teasing Yun Qingmei and Fei Ling.
Not because he wanted to, but because he noticed Elder Qinglan and Lin Xuan making their way toward him.
The two girls didn't know what made him suddenly stop, but they weren't about to stick around and ask.
Just as they disappeared around the corner, Lin Xuan hurried over, eyes lighting up the moment he spotted Bai Zihan.
"Young Master, you're here?"
His voice was full of excitement and barely-contained admiration.
"Congratulations! I watched everything—I saw it all! I'm really happy you were able to show your worth to everyone."
His words were sincere, his tone free of pretense.
"It's all thanks to your help, Young Master," Lin Xuan said, bowing his head slightly.
"Without you… I never would've gotten this far."
Elder Qinglan watched the two interact.
From what she saw, it was clear the rumors she'd heard were completely fabricated.
"You two can catch up later. Let's go," Elder Qinglan said.
