The flowing light dissipated, and a handsome young man dressed in a cyan Daoist robe with a jade hairpin binding his hair and wide sleeves fluttering entered the hall.
Upon seeing the arrival, the elder was slightly taken aback. He never expected someone to come so quickly.
"Junior Brother Gu?"
But once he saw the newcomer's appearance clearly, he was momentarily stunned again.
Gu Yuan, while in the Qi Refining stage, visited the Fate Hall twice to receive tasks. Due to his success in solving the mystery of Senior Sister Linglong's death, earning favor from the Ascendant, the elder paid special attention to him.
Since then, Gu Yuan's reputation in the Daoist School grew ever more resounding. The contest in the Ancient Mountain Secret Realm became known to all when he seized nine strands of Spiritual Qi in one go, overpowering the Seven Clans and becoming the new powerful faction.
This made him doubt whether this youngster truly only had a simple favoritism with the Ascendant.
