The next day, early in the morning, Gu Chen opened his eyes, washed up, and began his morning training for the new day.

Nearing noon, Zhou Rang suddenly visited, which surprised Gu Chen somewhat.

"Please have a seat, Elder Zhou. May I ask what brings you here this time?" Gu Chen clasped his hands together in greeting.

After a night's rest, Zhou Rang looked much better. He chuckled as he stroked his white beard and said, "This visit is primarily to express my gratitude to Lord Gu. If not for you, Lord Gu, Ning City might have faced the threat of collapse, and the lives of all 150,000 citizens might have perished."

"Elder Zhou, you're too kind. It was all just part of my duties. If Ning City had really fallen, the Jing Tian Department would certainly not have let me off," Gu Chen replied.

Indeed, that was the case. If Ning City had truly fallen, the Jing Tian Department would have undoubtedly held Gu Chen responsible.
