Even though his abilities had greatly improved, Pei Yan still felt immense pressure walking through that corridor. When he pushed open the big door and officially stepped out, Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the outer wall and gasping for air.
Beside him, Gu Shenghui said a few words to Director Wei, who was guarding the door. After casting a glance at the two of them, Director Wei opened the door and walked into the corridor.
"Feeling better?" Gu Shenghui took out a cigarette, handing it to Pei Yan as he wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiling as he asked.
Pei Yan declined the cigarette offered by Gu Shenghui, and with a flick of his storage ring, took out a cigar box and quietly lit a cigar for himself.
Gu Shenghui watched Pei Yan's cigar-handling actions for a while, smiled, and stuck the cigarette in his mouth, jokingly saying, "You're pretty skilled! Did the Star Ascension Sect teach you that?"
