What Wu Long meant when he said that Gong Liwei reminded him of his own cultivation path, he was not talking just about her reaching a Saturated Dantian.
But about the look he could see behind that dazed expression, deep in her eyes, behind the despair, there was still a fire burning strong.
Those were not the eyes of someone who has given up.
He could see a resolve in them. And he could clearly read what she was thinking like it was an open book.
Up until the moment he spoke up, her thoughts were already spinning in a certain direction.
She planned to leave Gong Cui's side. She knew that would hurt her, but she could not stand watching her little sister suffer while watching herself slowly wither even if she had a long life ahead of her.
