"Uh... it was about time."
Those words left Ji Ren utterly bewildered.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Master?"
"About time for what?"
He asked with a baffled expression.
This time, however, Gu Changqing did not answer.
Instead, he turned his gaze toward a certain direction beyond heaven and earth.
That was precisely where Wa Huang Heaven lay.
Earlier, Laozi had taken Xuandu to Wa Huang Heaven without deliberately concealing his aura.
Clearly, even in his "drunken stupor," Gu Changqing had sensed it.
