Gu Xingzi thought that he had lived to such a ripe old age, yet in the end, he clung to life and feared death. He could not even measure up to a young girl.
Xia Jue shook his head gently. "You flatter me, Senior. There are simply a few things I still need to understand. Please cooperate with me."
Su Jiu had saved Gu Xingzi, so naturally, he was willing to cooperate with Xia Jue on this matter.
