But things had turned out differently. They had been cautious, they had questioned her, and then they had figured out she wasn't the real Gu Aihan. And strangely enough, they decided to keep her alive.
A faint smile touched her lips. "Especially that girl… Gu Jin. She is sharp, but she is also fair. At least she didn't pour her hatred on me blindly."
Her hard feelings toward Gu Jin slowly faded, and instead, she felt a small sense of respect. Maybe even fondness.
Meanwhile, Gu Jin was not thinking about her at all. She had returned to her daily routine and focused all her energy on cultivation.
For months, Gu Jin practiced without rest. She trained her mind, body, and spirit.
She spent hours reading, hours practicing alchemy, and even more hours cultivating. Her progress was fast, and she could feel her strength growing every single day.
