As he finished speaking, most of the people in the room were satisfied.
A small minority, however, sized up Su Ye with looks of jealousy.
With that matter concluded,
Dean Jin spoke again.
"I hear that among this year's new students, there is one from Medicine King Valley? I've heard she is quite skilled in Medicine-Refining."
As he finished, Nan Ying stood up. Dressed in light blue robes, she bowed to Dean Jin, exuding an elegant and unassuming aura.
"I am Nan Ying, from Medicine King Valley."
Dean Jin sized her up for a moment, then nodded.
"Hm, not bad."
Then, his tone shifted.
"Nan Hua. Do you know him?"
As he spoke, Dean Jin's gaze shifted to the gray-robed man sitting beside him.
The gray-robed man paused. Very slowly, he lifted his head and looked at Nan Ying.
He then gave a slight nod and said in a hoarse voice,
"Yes."
After that single acknowledgment, he averted his gaze and looked elsewhere.
