"Creak"
Gou Zhi paced back and forth. Perhaps due to the continuous rainy days, the floorboards underfoot had become damp, emitting some piercing noises.
Up ahead, seated on chairs to the left and right, were Thunder Mountain's Taoist Yuan and Fulong Temple's Taoist Li. Both were resting with closed eyes, and the tea on the table had already lost its steam.
Outside, the sounds of neighing horses and clashing iron armor from the training ground added a hint of a stern atmosphere.
Another pot of tea's time passed, and the sound of a door creaking open came from behind.
Following that, the sound of footsteps "thump thump thump" approached.
Gou Zhi stopped pacing, and the two people sitting in the chairs also opened their eyes.
The first to appear was Sect Master An from the Su Nu Sword Sect, whose pale face now showed a flush of health.
The second was Qin Rushuang, her body draped in the dazzling Divine Light of the Five-colored Treasure Clothes.
