"Why is it you?"
"Because you resolved the spiritual poison at Gu Castle."
The Empress leisurely said, "This answer shouldn't be questioned... Zhong Yuan has already informed Central City of everything seen and heard at Gu Castle. Since you can resolve the spiritual poison there, perhaps you also have a chance to root out the 'river poison' of the Duolu River."
Gu Shen smiled.
He shook his head and said solemnly, "No... Respected Her Majesty the Empress, you must know that these two spiritual poisons are fundamentally not on the same level."
The river poison of the Duolu River is a formidable weapon that consumed a considerable part of the Divine Throne's spiritual power!
The spiritual poison at Gu Castle is merely the "casual spell" of the golden spike flowers, with no comparison between them.
He didn't believe it was for this reason.
Thinking over and over... Gu Shen couldn't comprehend the true intention of the Empress appointing him.
The Empress let out a gentle sigh.
