Suiyang held back a laugh. "Ku Rong came to open for you."
Ye Buyu went numb. "I could do without this opening..."
This screen was different from all the previous ones, more magnificent than ever, like an ancient painting unfurling across the pitch-black universe.
The blade scars behind it shimmered with specks of light. At a glance, it was like seeing a brilliant starry sky again after a long absence.
