Today was an especially depressing day for Fang Lin.
Returning to their lodgings from the square, everyone from Qian Country felt heavy-hearted, especially Fang Lin. He was almost overwhelmed by his melancholy.
Fang Lin wasn't too bothered by others' ridicule and mockery. Still, it was weird that the Gold Testing Stone showed no response at all.
At this point, Elder Su came back. Upon seeing everyone, especially Fang Lin, his eyes reflected a complexity that was difficult to articulate.
Fang Lin understood that Elder Su must have seen everything that happened at the square and was likely very disappointed in him.
However, Elder Su didn't say much, simply advised everyone to get a good rest and maintain a calm state of mind. He told them not to be overly concerned about others and to give their all in the upcoming Pill Refiner's convention the next day.
Fang Lin was somewhat surprised; he thought Elder Su would say something more.
