"If you wish to be at the top, Brother Gou, I'll gladly offer you a spot," Qin Huai joked, maintaining a straight face. However, Gou Jie failed to share the humor.
"Brother Gou, do you regret it now? If you had surrendered along with the lord of the Thousand Divination Tower, perhaps you wouldn't be so afraid," Qin Huai probed.
Gou Jie chuckled. "We've come this far already. There's no turning back now. We can only strive forward."
Qin Huai, finding the sentiment strangely familiar, quickly refocused the conversation. "Help me investigate someone," he requested.
"Who might that be?"
"Elder Wang Kun of the South Mythical Sect."
"South Mythical Sect?" Gou Jie raised his eyebrows. "The one obliterated by the Sacred Heart Sect and demons?"
Qin Huai nodded.
"I remember that no one from the South Mythical Sect survived. Why the sudden interest in this person?"
"I met him in the sky."
