Mira's expression immediately returned to her usual impassive look, and she turned around to greet the "intruder".
There stood a tall woman with her iconic violet eyes and a faint smile on her face.
"Hello, Sect Master," Mira said, giving her a light nod, but her neutral, distant tone caused Aelina to frown slightly.
Glancing at the unconscious girl on the bed, Aelina formed her own conclusions but decided not to comment, at least for now.
"I've heard a lot about your adventures over the last few months." Aelina said, "From attacking the Crimson Slayer Sect to fighting with Aryan from the Yin-Yang Sect, and there are even some rumors you had a run-in with the Mercenary Association! You truly have a knack for making enemies in high places." She said jokingly to lighten the mood.
Mira tilted her head at that last part as she didn't remember fighting anyone from the Mercenary Association.
