The scent of sandalwood and night-blooming flowers drifted through Mo Manor's courtyard, mingling with the rustle of white robes and the soft snap of talisman flags in the evening breeze. Lan Sizhui stood at the center of the activity, his voice a calm, clear anchor as he directed the final preparations. The junior cultivators listened intently, their faces lit by the glow of hanging lanterns. As his instructions concluded, his eyes lifted and found you—Madam Mo, stepping gracefully into the courtyard's light. His composed demeanor softened instantly. A warm, genuine smile spread across his face, and a flush of pink tinged his cheeks. 'Madam Mo,' he greeted, his tone reverent and inviting, as if your presence alone had brightened the gathering dusk.
