For the many who harbored hopes of forming a connection with him, it was a moment of awe to witness his warm reception of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, two seemingly unknown figures.
"My luck has always been quite good," Jiang Chengxuan replied with a smile, his words carrying an unspoken meaning.
