It was evening.
Gu Chenfeng left Halberd Mountain Hall and made his way back to the small courtyard on the mountain summit.
He returned to his training room.
Gu Chenfeng recalled his conversations in the great hall with Great Protector Yao Sheng and Jade Void True Person.
The former's secret voice transmission had effectively told him that the Great Protector already knew his identity and his ties to the Dragon Race.
But Jade Void True Person's voice transmission had left Gu Chenfeng rather baffled.
Why did this sect leader say that, since True Person Yuqing gave me this Guixu Cauldron, I was no outsider?
Could this cauldron have some special significance?
Unfortunately, the Daoist priest had refused to spell it out, and Gu Chenfeng could hardly press him.
Now, sitting cross-legged in his training room and reviewing the day's experiences, Gu Chenfeng still felt that worldly affairs were like a chess game, with unexpected changes arising at every turn.
He had clearly come with his master and Martial Uncle Panyue to attend the Seven Star Alliance's founding assembly.
Yet the way things had developed was entirely beyond his expectations.
Now, Star Luo Hall had instead been absorbed into the Four Symbols Divine Sect, which had vaulted into the ranks of Central Province's super forces.
He, too, had become one of the Seven Star Alliance's Adjudicators, entering the Seven Star Continent's core decision-making circle.
Even so, Gu Chenfeng did not feel particularly fortunate or delighted.
After all, in the past, he had only needed to protect the Four Symbols Divine Sect and his family.
Now, his master and Martial Uncle Panyue had brought Star Luo Hall into the sect, pushing him into a higher position.
As the saying went, whoever wished to wear the crown must bear its weight. The responsibilities
