"Gu Zhan?" Wu Yang furrowed his brows in confusion and asked, "Does this have anything to do with Gu Zhan?"
"Not exactly," Yang Yuzhi said, "It's just that Gu Zhan rose to prominence so abruptly that I became curious about him. How could a commoner have such talent and ability?"
Wu Yang nodded and said, "I've investigated this as well. Gu Zhan's cultivation has advanced far too quickly. At one point, I suspected he was backed by some hidden force."
"Did you find anything?" Yang Yuzhi asked.
"No," Wu Yang replied, "Aside from his association with Gu Chuan, Gu Zhan hasn't interacted with any major power. And Gu Chuan is only a clan member of the Gu Family, his influence doesn't reach so far—not enough to support Gu Zhan from the Capital City. So, after eliminating all possibilities, only the most improbable option remains: Gu Zhan might truly be gifted. According to my investigation, he only started making his mark after his father's death—perhaps a great calamity transformed him!"
