Wang Shu's lips twitched at Gu Beichen's words. This guy had spent so long in the Red Moon Holy Temple and had even earned the chance to truly join it, yet had he never considered himself one of its people?
The two had been together for a very long time-absurdly long-so Wang Shu knew Gu Beichen's personality well and had some guesses about his thoughts.
"Do you really dislike that place?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Gu Beichen looked a little awkward, as though he was asking a question he already knew the answer to.
"I mean, do you really dislike the Red Moon Holy Temple?"
"Are you kidding? That's the hallowed hall of Warlocks, the home of the forbidden. I've already fulfilled a dream many Warlocks never achieve in their entire lives. How could I possibly dislike it..."
Gu Beichen's eyes darted wildly. He disliked the feeling of being seen through.
In fact, for much of his time at the Red Moon Holy Temple, he had thought he had disguised himself very well.
At least while he was there, no one could tell he disliked the Red Moon Holy Temple. Keeping it bottled up for so long had not been easy.
"Have you considered coming back? You could always take on another identity."
Wang Shu offered his suggestion, but Gu Beichen shook his head.
"There's no need to go that far to run away. Everyone has things they need to do. I feel like you're doing something remarkable. I can't fall too far behind, can I?"
Gu Beichen drained his glass, his eyes filled with the weariness of experience.
Wang Shu was surprised. He had never expected Gu Beichen to have such awareness. He really had grown!
"It's really good that you can think that way."
"Heh, it's nothing."
