The morning sun barely peeked over the horizon, casting long shadows across the Bai Clan's grand estate.
The estate, usually a picture of serenity at this hour, was anything but peaceful today.
Despite the early hour, the entire Bai Clan was in an unusual state of activity.
Servants rushed about, preparing for the departure of their young master, Bai Zihan.
His admission to Heaven Sword Sect had been announced right after the engagement ceremony, and the designated day had finally arrived.
Excitement buzzed in the air.
For most of the Bai Clan, Bai Zihan leaving for the Heaven Sword Sect was a joyous occasion.
Many of the servants, who had suffered under his past arrogance and whims, whispered amongst themselves, secretly relieved that their young master would no longer be around to torment them.
"Finally, peace will return to the Bai Clan."
One of the servants muttered, exhaling as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
