The Heavenly Lord of Gonghua grew serious and studied Tang Changsheng from head to toe. Then he laughed and praised him. "I thought Heavenly Lord Tang had found success young and would be riding high on it. Who would have expected you to be so cautious?"
Tang Changsheng merely smiled. Whether the Heavenly Lord of Gonghua had truly been testing him just now or not, he had no intention of saying more.
