Qin Zhisui?
Upon hearing that name.
Jiang Yuechu blinked. She had never understood the secrets of the Heavenly Court to begin with, so naturally, these names left her utterly in the dark.
But Zi Ling, standing beside her, stiffened all over the instant she heard it.
She widened her eyes blankly and said in disbelief, "No... how could it be him?"
If there was any name in the Heavenly Court today that people most dared not mention—
If Qin Zhisui claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.
He was the man who had nearly set the Heavenly Court right after turning it upside down...
It was only because of certain reasons that could not be brought into the light that the Heavenly Court had merely abolished his heaven-reaching cultivation and permitted him to linger in this world as a cripple.
Besides, he did not possess a shred of cultivation now.
If not for his immortal divine body, how could he possibly have survived until today...
Sending Jiang Yuechu to seek him as a protector?
Whether he could even protect her was another matter... Those who had already wanted to target her, together with their old grudges against that man, would only harbor even stronger killing intent!
Greedy Wolf Star Lord merely shook his head at Zi Ling's words.
Right now.
For Jiang Yuechu, seeking a patron, the level of that person's cultivation was not actually all that useful.
Unless they were powerful enough to disregard the Heavenly Court's laws...
He glanced sideways at Jiang Yuechu and explained patiently.
"Many matters are inconvenient to discuss in detail here."
"If possible, settle the matters at hand as soon as you can. This lord will take you with me, and I will explain everything to you slowly along the way."
