Chapter 162: Bai Xue's Shock

Bai Xue's eyes swept through the crowd, observing everyone's reactions. Shock, confusion, uneasiness...almost everyone's face was filled with the same expression.

But when her eyes fell on Jiang Lei, she was suddenly stunned. Unlike the others, Jiang Lei did not have a trace of surprise or confusion on his face. On the contrary, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed a sense of confidence and pride, as if he had known the result for a long time. What made Bai Xue feel even more incredible was that Jiang Lei's gaze seemed to move back and forth between Huo Yan and Elder Yu Shen, as if he was thinking about something.

Not long ago, when Jiang Lei asked her to guess who could be the next disciple, he seemed too calm. It didn't feel like he was actually curious to know...as though he knows it already.
