Under the leadership of Faang You'an, a group of disciples from the Profound Ice Hall approached Wang Shouzhe with smiles. The members of the Changning Guard stepped aside as they passed.
Before Faang You'an could speak, Wang Shouzhe greeted him courteously first: "Shouzhe greets Senior Brother Yoou'an, and greets all the senior brothers and this senior sister."
Faang You'an returned the greeting warmly: "Junior Brother Shouzhe, it's been over two months since our hurried farewell at the Academy. I didn't expect we would meet under such circumstances."
Jii Mingyu, Li Yangde, and another core female disciple, Qian Cailing, also hurriedly returned the greeting, all calling him "Junior Brother Shouzhe."
They all knew Wang Shouzhe was the named direct disciple of the Changchun Ascendant.
Although carrying the term "named," they all understood it was a result of circumstances, and the Changchun Ascendant could take Wang Shouzhe as a direct disciple whenever he desired.
