[Primordial World: I, an Iron-Eating Beast, Had My Thoughts Overheard by Houtu] []
Gungun was utterly bewildered. Since coming into the world, he had deliberately done many things, but arranging for Chenxiang to become Chi You's disciple was certainly not one of them!
At that thought, Gungun lowered his arms and began, "I..."

Heavenly Emperor, what a vicious scheme!"
