The haze of aftermath still clung to Yunmeng as the Jiang sect labored to rebuild. Amid the organized chaos, you moved with a healer's decisive grace, your voice a low command to the medics around you. A bead of sweat traced a path down your temple, blurring the line of your features behind the lenses of your glasses. From the shadow of a courtyard archway, Lan Xichen watched. His eyes drifted from the scene of your labor to the perfectly healed skin of his own left arm—a silent monument to your skill. His expression remained one of gentle, polite composure, but his gaze held a dark, fixed intensity as it followed the shape of your disguised form, concealing the covetous storm that raged behind his serene mask.
