After leaving the Li Family ancestral hall.
Chu Ling's voice rang out.
"Qingsui has been taking care of Shrine Mountain all these years."
Gu Shen froze for a moment.
After Li Qingci died, Shrine Mountain no longer had a guardian... But it was, after all, important Li Family territory, and handing it over to outsiders was always inconvenient. So Li Qingsui often came personally. She had only managed to clear away half the black flowers covering the mountains, but after the Goddess appeared, this land no longer suffered from source essence backflow. Thus, the little White Flowers in the flowerbeds had all been well protected.
"She has kept my secret as well."
Chu Ling said, "Qingsui has changed greatly over the past few years."
"I could tell."
Gu Shen said with relief, "She fully deserves the title of Li Family head."
Back when Li Quhu was gravely ill, he had asked Gu Shen to take good care of the little girl. Looking at things now, although Gu Shen had failed in that duty, the final outcome had been good.
Tonight's reception in Snow Forbidden City was exceptionally lively.
Because of the convergence, the relationship between the Two Continents had never been closer. Many important figures had attended.
Management at such a high-level reception was extremely strict. Anyone without an invitation was forbidden from entering.
But for Gu Shen now... this so-called "management" was practically nonexistent.
He had the Divine Concealment Cape. As long as he deliberately concealed his spirit, none of Nagano's titled figures could detect his arrival.
Gu Shen sat in a corner of the reception hall, watching those "distinguished elites" exchange pleasantries.
He had disguised himself as an inconspicuous figure, someone who would not be mistaken for a waiter but would not attract anyone's attention either.
