Elder Huang's face flushed with excitement, a bottle of wine appearing in his hand from nowhere, as he laughed heartily while guzzling down the alcohol.
Old Liu, who followed closely by Elder Huang's side, revealed a somewhat stiff smile on his usually stern face after seeing Zi Liyuan's figure.
Several old men and women from Dragon Academy were now staring with wide eyes, disbelief etched on their faces as they looked at Zi Liyuan, particularly overwhelmed by the aura he radiated, as if they had seen a ghost.
And a throng of beautiful women, their expressions stirred with excitement, with tears glistening amidst the joy in their eyes.
There was no helping it, this Fourth Order promotion task was akin to a life-and-death struggle, a slip could mean Zi Liyuan might never return.
How could they not worry?
"I'm back."
Zi Liyuan smiled slightly and opened his arms as he walked into the crowd.
