Guards
"I am an Outer Sect Disciple appointed by Senior Brother Niel."
Ryu faced guards on duty with an apathetic expression, handing over a disciple badge. In truth, he could have avoided all of this trouble if he used the function of the badge to begin with. After all, it was designed so that the wraiths and spirits in the surroundings would ignore those of their Sect. But, obviously, Ryu had other plans.
If he wanted to remain lowkey, he wouldn't have come here.
He had no doubt that there weren't a small number of fools in this Moonlight Blossom Sect who believed that he had come here because he could no longer handle the heat coming at him from all sides.
