"You come here and stand with the crowd too! Sorry, if my voice wasn't audible." Kiana said in a polite voice as Kai bowed down slightly and walked to stand at the edge of the crowd.
He felt like going forward and meeting her but something prevented him from doing so. Kai watched the group of excited cultivators moving inside the hall as his eyes were glued to Kiana.
She was exactly the same as he remembered her except for the fact that her eyes held a new kind of look. The glinting yellow eyes of the Zian family now contained wisdom that had been accumulated after roaming the realms.
Kai watched this with slightly parted eyes as the crowd pushed him away. He could have easily stopped all of them and gone ahead to meet Kiana but he decided to go with the flow of the crowd.
'Why⦠Why am I acting so weird as though I have turned into a Beta?' Kai asked himself repeatedly yet he had no answer to the question.
