Karsha looked up, meeting the gazes of the onlookers. He smiled, a bit of fish still in his hand. "Yeah, grilled it myself. Best meal I've had in weeks."
The sect leaders and elders exchanged bewildered glances while the disciples stared in awe and disbelief.
Karsha's casual demeanour and unexpected appearance dissolved the moment's tension into an odd blend of admiration and curiosity.
As Karsha went to the Sunlight Sword Sect's gathering area, the crowd parted for him, whispers trailing in his wake. He didn't care about the murderous gazes he sensed as he moved.
While chewing on his grilled fish, he walked and stopped before Sect Leader Yi Ran, who was trying her best not to blush.
Sect Leader Yi Ran stepped forward, trying to maintain her composure.
"Welcome back, Karsha. It seems you've had quite the adventure." Karsha could tell the woman in front of him was holding back a lot of emotions. His mischievous demeanour wasn't making it any easier for her.
