"That's Senior Brother Lu Chao."
"Coach Zheng's senior brother."
The brief words struck the hearts of the crowd like stones. The new disciples, their faces filled with shock, watched him being welcomed and led away with reverence and longing.
All these emotions were reflected in his heart.
Lu Chao's expression flickered. He realized that at some point, he had become the very person others looked up to with reverence and longing.
"Senior Brother Lu, you're a legend in our club now. Many of the new disciples know your story."
Song Yan and the others accompanied him the entire time. As they led the way, he explained with a smile, "With you here today, I'm afraid many of the students will be asking for your autograph."
He said it with a hint of exaggeration, but the sincerity and respect in his words were genuine.
Lu Chao gave a helpless smile and followed them into the corridor, heading toward the backyard where Ge Hongfeng and the others were waiting.
