Lind knew Heavenly Maidens often drew eyes in a crowd. Whether those eyes were respectful, resentful, or lustful was impossible to gauge, but the day he was escorted back to the Cimmerian branch, he knew it was confusion.
A man was singed and even smoking in a few places still while 3 Heavenly Maidens from the peak of the Iron Tier to the middle of the Soul Realm surrounded him. Lind vaguely recalled the looks on the Stardust guards as they passed them. Normally, they would investigate such a situation regardless of who was involved, but Qing's aura scared everyone.
Annabelle stayed near Lind's left side in case he weakened again, but he had snuck an elixir to recover his Qi and stamina. It was always better than pills but now Lind suspected why. He pushed any thought of his theories into a deep dark place, however, as Qing was clearly on a mission.
