The morning sun cast a warm glow over Baiyun City, but it was the anticipation simmering within its walls that truly ignited the day.
A fever of excitement pulsed through the streets, fueled by the imminent Celestial Heavenly Store's Recognition Ceremony.
Rumors had swirled for weeks, each whisper adding a spark to the growing anticipation. Today, at long last, the city's most prettiest women and handsome young men would be recognized.
The air buzzed with the promise of rewards, recognition, and perhaps even glimpses of the store's fabled treasures.
Adding fuel to the fire was the enigmatic figure of Ye Zhen. His bold challenge to the store had reverberated throughout Baiyun City, leaving everyone breathless with the audacity of it.
Would the powerful Celestial Heavenly Store deign to respond? Would Ye Zhen, the city lord's son and a rising star in his own right, finally meet his match?
