Bai Lingtong's smile froze on his face. His round body suddenly shuddered, and he almost slipped off the chair.
"Th-this… why? Could it be that someone in the Emperor Sect has offended you, my lord?"
Gu Sheng shook his head lightly.
"I've provoked an enemy. The Emperor Sect can't afford this cause and effect for the time being."
Bai Lingtong's eyes rolled, and fine beads of sweat seeped out on his forehead.
He knew all too well the weight of Gu Sheng's words—what kind of terrifying existence must it be to make Gu Sheng voluntarily withdraw from the Emperor Sect to avoid calamity?
"Th-then… what does a lowly one like me need to do?"
Bai Lingtong probed cautiously, his fingers unconsciously twisting together.
"I want you to make your identity within the Emperor Sect public, and in the future work for the Emperor Sect's Intelligence Hall, under its jurisdiction."
Gu Sheng said.
