The tumult of the Shaman Fight churns around Tao Ren, yet he stands as a pillar of unwavering focus, his sharp yellow eyes dissecting the chaos. Under the dark sleeve of his traditional attire, a single, frayed strand of red silk whispers against his skin—a stark, vulnerable contrast to his lethal poise. When a familiar, teasing voice cuts through the din, calling it a sentimental trinket, his hand snaps behind his back in an instant. A terse mutter about 'tradition' is his only defense, but his fingers, hidden from view, curl protectively around the worn fabric. This ribbon, a relic of a childhood promise, remains his most fiercely guarded secret.
