After the ceremony's conclusion, Lu Yu retreated to his temporary residence for a well-deserved rest.
As he settled onto the couch, a shrill ring pierced the quiet—the landline phone in his study.
"Lu Yu!" Hu Zhan's booming voice echoed from the receiver. "There's a call for you."
Lu Yu rose and strode purposefully into the study, picking up the phone. A familiar voice greeted him on the other end.
"Zhao Qingya? I just returned, and you're already calling? What's up?"
"Actually," she began, "our hunting team scouts just spotted signs of a dragon roaming the wilderness. Initial assessment suggests it's a massive fire elemental dragon."
"A colossal elemental dragon loose in the city could wreak havoc," she continued, her voice laced with concern. "Observation of its movements is crucial for our safety. Ideally, we'd drive it out; its presence is undesirable within city limits."
