"Did Elder Yuexia send you?"
"Indeed."
The shadowy figure nodded.
"Good. We understand.
Thank you for your trouble."
Situ Qingfeng replied in a deep voice.
The shadowy figure said nothing more. He gave Situ Qingfeng a slight nod, then his body flickered, seeming to melt into the air as he silently vanished once again. Before leaving, he even casually used a gentle gust of force to softly close the door, displaying remarkable consideration.
Only after the man had completely disappeared did Situ Qingfeng let out a long breath, cold sweat soaking his back.
"Martial Grandmaster Realm... He was definitely a Martial Grandmaster Realm expert! And not one who had merely entered the realm!"
Situ Qingfeng was still shaken.
"If he had attacked just now, even if I immediately activated my Heavenly Demon Transformation, I might not have been his match... Nangong Yuexia truly had talented people under her command."
He steadied himself. Recalling the man's message, a flash of excitement and understanding crossed his eyes. Nangong Yuexia had told them to return early tomorrow morning—the meaning was already obvious!
He immediately rose and headed for Gu Sheng's room next door, intending to share the good news and discuss tomorrow's plans.
However, just as his hand touched Gu Sheng's door—
Buzz!
An invisible yet incomparably tough current of air suddenly rebounded from the door. Gentle but unwavering, it knocked his hand aside and prevented him from entering.
Situ Qingfeng froze. Just as confusion arose in his heart, Gu Sheng's calm voice seemed to sound directly in his mind, crystal clear.
"Since Nangong Yuexia has agreed to cooperate, come find me again tomorrow morning."
The voice had not come from inside the room. Instead, it acted directly upon his sea of consciousness, carrying a unique cadence. It was clearly a pre-recorded message
