From beginning to end, Old Ancestor Gusu never revealed who that person was.
Qin Shaofeng did not find it hard to guess. That person was surely someone whose cultivation and status were both nearly equal to Old Ancestor Gusu's.
Otherwise, given Old Ancestor Gusu's standing, he could have stepped forward forcefully.
Seeing Old Ancestor Gusu's cautious expression, Qin Shaofeng's worries only grew.

Qin Shaofeng finally let out a breath of relief.

With that in mind, Qin Shaofeng's heart settled completely.

Clearly, he still cared deeply about what Gusu Hanxing had said last time.
