"Teacher, you are finally here…"
Li Mie's usually composed face brightened without restraint. The calm and distant demeanor she maintained in front of others melted away in that instant, replaced by genuine joy. Even she had not realized how much she had missed his presence until she saw him standing there again.
But almost immediately, her eyes began to wander around him, searching behind his shoulders, beyond his sleeves, as if expecting someone else to step out from thin air.
Wang Chen noticed the subtle movement.
He did not need to guess.
She was looking for Lin Huang.
There was only one person in this world who could cause that flicker of anticipation in her eyes—her senior brother.
Although Li Mie had no idea where Wang Chen had gone these past days, she was certain it had something to do with Lin Huang. Now that Teacher had returned, it was only natural to assume her senior brother would follow.
Yet the training ground remained empty.
Wang Chen smiled faintly.
