"I understand," Liu Gu nodded.
"This matter must remain confidential for now, and no one is to be informed," Zhang Jin said. "Unless you want her to die."
Liu Gu nodded again.
Although he wasn't aware of the complexities of the Celestial Capital, he understood that many were eyeing the position of the National Preceptor. Bai Ling was stable in the Spirit Academy for now, but she couldn't stay there forever.
After speaking, Zhang Jin left, though his mind was hardly less surprised than Liu Gu's.
He had provided so many names to Teacher Zhong Nan, why was Bai Ling so important to Zhong Nan?
This trip was also at Zhong Nan's behest.
After he left, Liu Gu then looked at Zhu Tong and said, "Dean, this..."
"The National Master's Institute has always operated mysteriously. For the sake of the Cangling Ancient Country, we can only follow their plan," Zhu Tong said. "You must have felt it too, the recent unrest in the Cangling Ancient Country."
