Gu Jianlin saw the old man and froze: "What happened?"
Huai Yin remained silent as usual.
Jing Ci shook his head: "It's nothing. Teacher went to the Qilin Immortal Palace a few days ago to search for someone but couldn't find them, so he got a bit upset."
Gu Jianlin thought to himself—if even this teacher couldn't locate someone, then that person must really have some skills.
"Thank you for helping my sister."
He hesitated for a second: "I heard from her that this time, you found a… Ninth-order Great God?"
"Indeed. Given that it's your sister, it's only natural to be extra careful. The safest method is to invite a Great God to handle the matter. But there's no need to worry much about this—after very cordial and friendly communication, that Great God agreed readily to help."
Jing Ci said seriously, "Though this favor... you might have to repay it yourself in the future."
