The two were so close that soon enough, Wen Ran noticed a group approaching behind the ice wall. Who are they? His instincts flared, sending a rush of adrenaline through his veins. Trouble had a way of finding him, and once again, someone was about to spoil his moment. Do they know about the inheritance? He didn't know, but either way, he would have to think quickly to navigate this situation.
The group remained oblivious to Wen Ran's presence, all their attention fixed on the woman in front of them. Wen Ran didn't waste a second, sensing the opportunity to blend in. He focused and forced the heat from his body, allowing the cold to settle in, though the pain was sharp. He'd appear as a fire cultivator now, a perfect disguise that would keep them from suspecting anything.
