As Gu Tao had expected, the tracking signal placed on Youyou showed that Xin Chen had let her go.
Gu Tao stood in the room, watching the hustle and bustle outside the window until the door was softly pushed open.
Xin Chen entered from outside, looking at Gu Tao's back. He hesitated for a moment and then knelt on one knee behind Gu Tao, silent.
"Stand up."
"Please, Sect Master, punish me."
"Stand up."
"Please, Sect Master, punish me!"
Xin Chen stubbornly knelt there, not lifting his head or standing up, as if he would not rise unless Gu Tao whipped him today, but Gu Tao did not immediately respond, just slowly turned to look at him.
"People always have selfish desires, I can understand that you couldn't do it, but you are an Earth Immortal."
"Effective immediately, I renounce my position as an Earth Immortal."
