Gu An had stayed in Hu Xiaojian's residence for an ancient hour. After he left, Hu Xiaojian was brimming with excitement, and his face was a bouquet of smiles.
The predecessor had entrusted him with so many matters, which assuredly meant he wouldn't easily forsake Immortal Seeking Island. He hadn't deceived him.
Moreover, what need had the predecessor to deceive him?
He was just a Minor Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm. If the predecessor wished not to take him, a single stern glance would have sufficed to silence any further pleas from him.
Meanwhile.
Gu An had returned to the premises of the Supreme Sect, pondering, as he walked into the Third Medicine Valley, which Wandering Immortal should assist him.
Wandering Immortals were not Minor Cultivators; how could one easily control them?
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord was not an option, for Gu An feared exposing himself, given that the Nine-Finger Divine Lord had been to Immortal Seeking Island.
