Before dozens of watching eyes, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran settled their Three-Year Agreement.
Ge Ye and the others had never expected the broken engagement to develop this way. Knowing that staying would only add to the awkwardness, they offered Chen Cang and Gu He polite farewells and promptly left the Xiao Clan.
Gu He did not leave with Ge Ye and his two companions. He had come this time to see Chen Cang and thank him for the gift he had given him several years ago.
Back then, Chen Cang had given him a secret soul cultivation method. Over the years, he had gradually begun to feel its benefits. Refining pills now was several times easier than before, a clear sign that his soul perception had improved considerably.
At this rate, he would rise to the ranks of seventh-rank alchemists sooner or later.
Chen Cang noticed Gu He's eager gaze as well. After a moment's thought, he gave him a meaningful look.
Gu He understood at once and followed closely behind as the group headed into the rear courtyard.
"Master Chen, I came this time to thank you. That secret method has benefited me immensely."
Learning knew no seniority; those who attained mastery came first.
Although he was many years older than Chen Cang, Gu He felt no awkwardness at all addressing him that way.
"There's no need to thank me. Every sip and morsel has its cause and consequence. I benefited quite a bit from you back in Stone Desert City, too. But to get to the point, I called you over because there's something I'd like your help with."
Gu He looked puzzled.
Chen Cang's alchemy had already surpassed his several years ago, and now even his strength had reached a level Gu He could not fathom.
