His face was resolute, and his aura subtly resonated with heaven and earth—this was none other than Xiao Xuanze, the Sect Master of Wanling Palace.
"Junior Gu Sheng, pays respect to Sect Master Xiao."
Gu Sheng respectfully presented his greetings.
Xiao Xuanze looked at him with appreciation.
"Good lad, to remain so composed under my pressure, you truly are Gu's son."
Gu Sheng was momentarily stunned.
"Sect Master Xiao knows my father?"
"Not just knows."
Xiao Xuanze laughed heartily.
"I am sworn brothers with your father, Qin Lie. In terms of seniority, you should call me Uncle Xiao."
Complex emotions flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he solemnly paid his respects.
"Greetings, Uncle Xiao."
Off to the side, Xiao Mengdie's eyes widened.
"Father, you know each other?"
Xiao Xuanze looked fondly at his daughter.
"Die'er, did this Young Master Gu rescue you in the Secret Realm?"
"Yes, yes!"
Xiao Mengdie nodded vigorously.
