At Gu An's words, the originally furious Liu An froze at once, and enormous joy swiftly enveloped his heart.
The grievance of ten thousand years of effort scattering into nothing vanished completely. Subconsciously, he wanted to kneel and bow to Gu An, but just as his knees bent, he hesitated again.
He looked carefully at Gu An. Beneath the dusk, Gu An's face was hidden by the eaves, leaving him unable to make out his exact expression.
Was he being toyed with again this time?
Gu An said leisurely, "Before you came to Zhongtian, your cultivation method was already a wrong path. You should be able to feel that once you grow angry, it is very hard for you to control your emotions. You thought some other power was swaying you, but in truth, no one was plotting against you. It was only that your cultivation method was incomplete, and it was a trap to begin with."
"As for the Taishang Qi Absorption Method, its creator will fall before long. Every existence that has Karma with him will suffer heavenly punishment. Calculated this way, I have actually saved you three times."
Liu An's eyes widened, his expression shifting between light and dark. After pondering for a moment, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Gu An.
"Senior's great kindness, this junior will never forget for all eternity!"
With his head lowered, Liu An shouted in a deep voice.
Gu An said, utterly unconcerned, "I saved you and taught you not because I seek repayment from you, but merely out of interest. No matter how high your achievements may be in the future, they have nothing to do with me, and you must not speak of the relationship between you and me. Just act as if this never happened.
