Wu Yun's thoughts went no further than that.
Ximen Bingning's talent truly filled him with admiration, but he knew exactly how much he was worth. His chances of winning Ximen Bingning over were not great.
But the one he truly liked was not Ximen Bingning, but Gusu Hanxing.
He knew even better how terrifying the gap between himself and Gusu Hanxing was. If his gap with Ximen Bingning was one of cultivation, enough for him to clearly recognize his own limitations while still daring to give it a try—
Then Gusu Hanxing was someone he did not even dare dream of.
Having entered the Tianchen Realm, he knew better than anyone what kind of terrifying existence Old Ancestor Gusu was. To marry Old Ancestor Gusu's daughter, he would need to possess Knowing and Doing cultivation himself. Otherwise, he did not even need to entertain the thought.
That was precisely why he had given up so decisively and followed the step Qin Shaofeng had offered him down.
Upon learning that Qin Shaofeng and the others had just arrived only to be arranged by the Sinner Old Man to cultivate, he could only smile bitterly.
"Looks like I need to enter seclusion properly for a while too. If my cultivation cannot rise to the Twelfth Step Endless Supreme, I do not even have the qualifications to make these true powerhouses spare me a glance." Wu Yun let out a deep sigh and turned to leave.
Qin Shaofeng, completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge, had no idea Wu Yun had come by once.
After seven days, he had not even finished one-tenth of the first book in his hands.
There were not many words, yet the things contained within were far too terrifying.
Time swiftly slipped away in this state.
