However, here, there seemed to be no way to ascend further.
Gu Chaoyan felt a surge of embarrassment, contemplating the prospect of starting anew.
As she took a brief respite, laughter reached her ears. Two individuals covered their mouths, casting disdainful looks her way.
Standing there, Gu Chaoyan noticed the arrival of others.
In response, a smile crept onto her face.
Despite the arduous climb she had just completed, now she found herself subjected to mockery. It seemed her turn to witness others making a spectacle of themselves had arrived.
Gu Chaoyan, in a surprisingly good mood, observed those below.
She anticipated the arrival of the individual who would inevitably have to undergo the same struggle.
However…
Just as Gu Chaoyan eagerly awaited the unfolding spectacle, a man casually ascended with an air of ease. Underneath him, it appeared as if there were stairs, facilitating his leisurely ascent.
