Chu Qing stood on the rooftop with his arms crossed, beside him knelt Meng Shaokun, who had lost all hope in this world.
The two maintained a strange silence.
For some reason, as Chu Qing looked at this scene in the courtyard, he felt that something was amiss.
An indescribable sense of discord.
However, by this point, everything seemed to be going as expected.
Gongyang Chou had long suspected that Bai Yushu was problematic. Their senior brother should have temporarily stayed at the Ghost Emperor Palace by the master's orders.
Yet, Bai Yushu inexplicably went to Heaven-Reaching Manor, inviting the newly sixteen-year-old Gu Ling'Er back to take charge.
The prior scene in the hall of Heaven-Reaching Manor seemed as if Bai Yushu was retreating in the face of difficulties.
Then he returned with full force, colluding with people from the Celestial Evil Cult, attacking Heaven-Reaching Manor, intending to kill Gu Ling'Er!
