"It's absolutely true, Master. The entire encampment was burned to ash. They say... they say not a single one survived."
Sitting to the side, Gu Feng shot to his feet, eyes full of shock.
"In a single night? Who has that kind of strength?"
Gu Lie exchanged a glance with his son. At the same time, a single name surfaced in both their minds—Gu Sheng.
"Father..."
Gu Feng lowered his voice.
"Could it really be Asheng's doing?"
Gu Lie slowly set down his teacup.
"Other than him, who around Great Wilderness City could have such methods?"
His brows furrowed tightly.
"I just didn't expect him to be so... ruthless."
Gu Feng, however, shook his head.
"If you don't pull the weeds up by the roots, they'll grow again with the spring breeze. Asheng's move may well be his way of protecting the Gu family."
"You're right."
Gu Lie let out a bitter laugh.
"It's just that this way of doing things is exactly the same as his mother's back then..."
