The sound of hushed whispers incessantly reached Gu Sheng's ears.
"This Gu Sheng truly doesn't know the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth..."
"Senior Brother Xiao has never been defeated; he's doomed..."
"What a pity, I've heard he has quite a talent for Alchemy..."
Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear to these discussions, merely patting Shen Qingtan's shoulder gently.
"One month later, everything will be clear."
He paused.
"After I deal with the matters at hand, I'll help you resolve Shen Qingyun."
Shen Qingtan gazed at him in a daze, unable to understand why he could be so calm.
Deep in those eyes, it was as if golden flames were quietly burning, making it hard to see their depth.
"You..."
She wanted to say something more, but Gu Sheng had already turned around and walked away, his figure standing tall like a pine tree as he went farther amidst the complex stares of the crowd.
