That night, Gu Jianlin conversed with his teacher for a long time, but only about one topic.
"Teacher, is this the moment we bid an eternal farewell?"
"What kind of nonsense is that? Are you already planning my death just because I'm heading to Buzhou Mountain?"
"No, I'm genuinely worried about you. Can you really defeat Candle Dragon Venerable? She's the strongest Ancient Supreme! Even if you're a Quasi-Supreme, you can't win against her. Besides, you're still injured. Even though Candle Dragon Venerable is at a critical moment and might be extremely weakened, I still think you're no match for her."
"Don't forget, I've got Gold and Silver helping me. My junior brothers and sisters are strong too, you know. There's no way they'd let their senior brother die. If I die, who'll deal with Red Valiance?"
"Can the three Catastrophes really take on Candle Dragon Venerable? This feels more like a suicide squad to me."
"Bah! Who are you calling a suicide squad?!"
