Immediately, Lu Ren detailed the ins and outs of Lu Lunhui's disappearance to Gu Changsheng.
"You mean Lunhui was hunted down by the Star River Imperial Clan's Battle Body, and ultimately plunged into a Void Rift alongside that girl named Luo Qianli, going missing ever since?"
Gu Changsheng furrowed his brow slightly.
Lu Ren nodded. "I've gained some renown in the Immortal Path Great World by now. If he were still alive, he ought to have come looking for me, but..."
"What is that Luo Qianli's... background?"
Gu Changsheng pressed on.
"Unclear."
Lu Ren shook his head. "Yet I always feel a profound mystery shroud her. Still, since she is the one Lunhui holds dear, it is not my place to inquire too deeply."
The sensation this Luo Qianli gave him was exceedingly bizarre, a feeling he had never experienced from anyone else.
Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment. "Given Lunhui's strength, lacking a forged Battle Body, plunging into Void Turbulence of that caliber was perilous enough, let alone having to protect Luo Qianli. If my guess is correct... they must have been rescued by someone."
"You mean... the powerhouse behind Luo Qianli?"
Lu Ren's expression shifted, tempestuous waves rolling within his heart.
"That Luo Qianli is extremely likely not a person of the Myriad Heavens Plane, and perhaps hails from another plane."
Gu Changsheng speculated.
"This is troublesome..."
Lu Ren locked his brows.
"There's no need to overthink it. Your top priority is to cultivate properly and step into a Perfected Dao Fruit as soon as possible."
Gu Changsheng soothed him.
"Understood."
Lu Ren nodded in assent.
"Right, now that I have returned, Li Wangsheng will surely use your mouth to test my attitude."
Gu Changsheng shifted the conversation.
"Then how should I respond?"
Lu Ren asked.
