Wen Tao and Guo Xing were on good terms, but certainly not close enough for Guo Xing to offend Ju Jiasu and the Five-finger Peak Creator, Cao Xing'an, on his behalf.
Guo Xing's words were a clear signal.
'Guo Xing is planning to leave Longya City!'
'He's trying to sound me out, to see if Starlight City would be a good place to go.'
'Otherwise, even if he wanted to leave Longya City, he wouldn't have needed to say so much to me.'
If Guo Xing already had conflicts with Longya City and wanted to leave, Wen Tao would naturally welcome him becoming a Celestial Destiny Seeker for Starlight City.
Gaining another Celestial Destiny Seeker was a huge boon for Starlight City.
Guo Xing's potential as a Celestial Destiny Seeker was rated S-level, but his Order Beast's paralysis Rule was an extremely potent form of control.
When coordinating with other Celestial Destiny Seekers in battle, he could immobilize at least two targets of comparable strength.
