"Teacher, why are you back again?" On Medicine Peak, Liu Ling looked at his teacher.
"It's nothing." Gu He shook his head, a barely perceptible trace of disappointment in his eyes.
Teacher ran into a brick wall.
Liu Ling knew perfectly well what had happened, because he, too, had returned from Nalan Yanran's place with his tail between his legs.
Though he could not fly, the short distance more than made up for it.
"Liu Ling, has anything major happened in the Jia Ma Empire lately?" Gu He glanced at his disciple.
"Quite a few major things have happened, actually."
Liu Ling nodded. "A few days ago, a young expert arrived in the empire. He's not even sixteen, but he already has the strength of a Dou Emperor."
At those words, Gu He's previously placid expression suddenly froze.
"A sixteen-year-old Dou Emperor? You aren't joking with your teacher, are you?"
"Teacher, how could I possibly joke about that?"
Liu Ling gave a bitter smile. "And that's not all. That young man apparently has two Guardian Daoists with him, and their cultivation is definitely above Dou Zong."
"I only went into seclusion, and something this momentous happened in the Imperial Capital?" Gu He looked slightly bewildered.
"Not only that, but the young man and the Nalan Family..." Liu Ling told Gu He everything he knew.
"That young man visited the Misty Cloud Sect, too?" Gu He paused, suddenly seeming to understand where Yun Yun's Sect Breaking Pill had come from.
No matter how outstanding a sixteen-year-old boy is, surely he couldn't make Yun Yun fall for him. For some reason, though, Gu He had a faint, ominous premonition.
"You said he'll be selling some things at the Mittel Auction House the day after tomorrow?" He glanced at his disciple.
