Changes in the Hong Wu sect

Wan Li walked around with a single leg and two supports. He was in charge of teaching the disciples about the various aspects of alchemy, so today too he was giving a lecture to the core disciples in the meadow.

Zhou Mei sat close by as her lecture would start not long after Wan Li's ended.

Alex arrived at the location and sat down at the end of the open area. His grayish blue robes somehow helped him not be noticeable in the sea of green.

Still, both Zhou Mei and Wan Li looked at him with surprise.

Wan Li tried to teach the disciples, but his eyes kept darting over to Alex, and was unable to continue for much longer.

"What the hell?" Wan Li shouted as he walked over to Alex. "Am I seeing this correctly? Zhou Mei, are you seeing this?" 

"It seems the sect's best disciple has returned," Zhou Mei said.
