"If it weren't for your timely intervention, Muqing probably would have..."
Gu Sheng shook his head.
"Miss Miao has been kind to me. It's what I ought to do."
In the Southern Emperor's eyes, a glint appeared.
"I hear you used a special magical treasure? May I have a look at it?"
The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became tense.
Gu Sheng's heart was filled with alarms, but he remained calm on the surface.
"Your Majesty, this item is called the 'Xuanming Pearl.' It is my lifebound magical treasure, connected to my divine soul."
"A lifebound magical treasure?"
The Southern Emperor's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Could it be temporarily separated? I wish to personally heal Muqing."
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth inwardly, clearly the Southern Emperor intended to seize the Xuanming Pearl! He shook his head firmly.
