Gu Sheng chuckled and said:
"From now on, I'll have to trouble you to look after me more."
Gu Xiaojiang laughed slyly and said:
"Cut it out! Others may not know you, but I certainly do. You pretend to be humble, but deep down you're quite proud. Silently breaking through to become a Martial Artist—your speed is impressive. Paired with your archery skills, if we were at a distance, I'd definitely be wary of you."
Gu Sheng smiled faintly and raised his hand. A greenish-brown light flickered briefly across his palm.
Gu Xiaojiang earnestly smiled and said:
"Asheng, congratulations!"
The two exchanged smiles, took big gulps of wine, and occasionally discussed the surrounding situation. Although Gu Xiaojiang had been secluded at the main household, practicing martial arts, he was well aware of the dynamics in Canghe County.
