Within the Merit Divine Horse Heavenly Palace, Gu An sat upon the Heavenly Monarch's throne, watching Zhu Xi, guided by Xuanqing Star Lord, selecting the divine steeds.
He once had a master-disciple relationship with Zhu Xi, but her overly cautious nature led her to choose to bid farewell.
Now reunited in the Celestial Court, Gu An had no intention of meeting Zhu Xi. He had so many disciples that meeting each one was unnecessary, and besides, everyone has their own life path—the absence of a meeting can be a good thing.
Much like Chu Jingfeng, although Gu An resolved a crisis for him and granted him a better life, Chu Jingfeng's sense of pride faded as a result. To cultivate it anew would require enduring countless challenges.
Gu An looked at Zhu Xi, and in his eyes appeared the life silhouettes of other old acquaintances.
