In front of Vera's house, a man wearing a kasaya was interacting with Evin, entertaining her with some of his tricks using energy. He was clearly a monk. Baek Jimin and Vera, watching them not far from the house, sat with smiles on their faces. Seeing Evin's happy expression made them smile warmly in return.
However, they were stunned when several figures suddenly appeared. Baek Jimin immediately lit up with joy, especially when she saw one particular man among them.
Aldrian had teleported them all here, but once they arrived, he couldn't help but fix his eyes on the monk. The others who had come with Aldrian also turned to look at the monk, but it was Xin Haotian who reacted visibly, surprised at the sight because he knew this monk.
The monk, who didn't seem surprised at all by the sudden appearance of Aldrian and the others, met his gaze with a smile.
"Benefactor Aldrian, it's been a while," the monk said.
Aldrian stepped forward, slightly bowed, and clasped his hands.
