On the third floor of Sky's End Tower, upon pushing open the door, one would find a quaint little courtyard. It was home to a few residents who seemed to embody a certain charm, making the scenery here possess a unique allure. It was neither as pretentious as those overly refined courtyards nor as profound as the grand estates surrounded by high walls. It resembled a modest household of three, meticulously managing their living space. Several exquisite plants adorned the courtyard, and even someone well-versed in literature might struggle to name them all.
Earlier, I had seen him; he was not in good spirits regarding the Cursed Ruby Dragon. Even if he was part of the Light Path Classic, there were instances where Coco was treated like a member of Light Path Classic and subsequently ousted. At that point, it would be too late to turn back.
Before me, Jiang Anbo was pinching a flower, tearing its petals off one by one and tossing them to the ground. Gu Zhi remarked that the earlier meeting on the rooftop, which had not been overly crowded, had largely determined that Light Path Classic would suffer significant losses again. As a member of Light Path Classic, Jiang Anbo certainly did not wish to witness such a scene.
I reassured myself that no matter what happened, I would ensure Hong Yulong would be eliminated. By then, when I made my move, no one would harbor any doubts.
Jiang Anbo glanced towards the roots of the trees in the courtyard and noticed Han Yu with that koi fish. He wondered why Gu had only brought back a Zhengkui with his own dust. Could it be that he was truly deeply attached? If he shared that with them, they might believe it; however, if he told Jiang Anbo, there was no way he would accept it.
Moreover, what they were discussing could attract significant trouble if overheard. Gu feared for his identity being exposed due to that woman. Jiang Anbo couldn’t help but think about Minghong and whether that woman might have been his former lover; perhaps Jiang Anbo could slightly understand Yi Dong at this moment.
Why not clarify? We from Light Path Classic needed to know how many cultivators had actually come to the Sky East Tournament. I warned him not to blame me later if he carelessly sent one of our own out of bounds; that would certainly be amusing.
Watching Gu grin widely while Han Yu stood nearby like an afterthought, Jiang Anbo frowned slightly and scrutinized Han Yu, pondering just how credible that woman from the brothel could be—worthy of Gu Na's trust.
Gu noticed Jiang Anbo's flickering gaze and smiled even wider, as if he had stumbled upon something immensely joyful.
I wasn’t worried about Han Yu from Jade Capital Riverbank leaking information; I questioned whether Gu was truly worthy of my trust.
Upon hearing Gu's name, Han Yu walking towards the trees suddenly shivered. His deep brown eyes locked onto Gu's smiling face; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reconcile this person with the image he had in his mind. There was something familiar yet overwhelmingly strange about him—like two different people standing before him who merely bore some resemblance.
Just as Han Yu lifted his head, he inadvertently caught Jiang Anbo's malicious gaze. This made Jiang Anbo awkwardly shift his focus away from Han Yu’s clear eyes.
A harsh laugh echoed from the side.
"Hahaha!"
What am I laughing at?
Jiang Anbo, feeling somewhat irritated, unexpectedly shouted at Gu Yi in anger, but Gu Jiedonglai's words completely silenced him.
"I'm sure I'm not one of the Light Path Classic people. That Spring Pavilion Zhengkui, I don't even know if they're from the Light Path Classic. He said I, Jiang Anbo, wouldn't be trying to frame him as if he were walking into a trap. Hahaha!"
Jiang Anbo looked at Han Yu in shock, one eyebrow raised. No matter how he thought about it, he never expected that Gu Sui could run into someone from the Light Path Classic just by wandering around Smoke Willow Alley. Besides, how could he even recognize them?
At that moment, Gu took out a small and exquisitely crafted square seal that sparkled brightly, completely dispelling Jiang Anbo's doubts.
"Isn't that the Starlight Seal from the Grand Ancestor? How could it be my leg?"
It was given to him by his master.
Liu Shizu gave it to me. So, I should have known long ago that she was a disciple of the Light Path Classic. Why didn't I tell him sooner?
Jiang Anbo, who had been feeling somewhat resentful, now felt a sense of relief wash over him; there was nothing left to be unhappy about.
