The inauguration ceremony began, and the various Cultivation sects gathered in the Ming Room. Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen sat on either side, with Wei Wuxian seated next to Lan Xichen, followed by the representatives of the various sects.
At mid-morning, a disciple announced, "The Chief Cultivator has arrived." Everyone stood up and turned to look toward the entrance. Lan Wangji appeared in a white, wide-sleeved robe patterned with swirling cloud motifs, draped in a matching cloak. A headband with the swirling cloud pattern was bound across his forehead, and he held Bichen in his hand. His features were strikingly handsome, his expression cool and detached, and his demeanor composed—like an immortal descended from the heavens. Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi followed closely behind him, walking step by step to the front. Over a decade of time had made Lan Wangji even more steady and resolute; he was no longer the solitary Second Young Master Lan, but the Chief Cultivator who led the hundred cultivation sects.
The various Cultivation sects bowed and said, "Greetings, Chief Cultivator."
