After spending half the night in the Hidden Spirit Palace, deep into the night, Gu An returned to Mystic Valley.
Most of the buildings in the valley had turned off their lights, and the disciples were practicing in the darkness. Gu An turned his head towards the forests at the edge of Mystic Valley.
He saw a figure practicing swordsmanship.
Jiang Shi!
For some reason, Gu An suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu; he seemed to see a figure from hundreds of years ago.
Back then, he had a disciple who also loved to practice swordsmanship in the forest, similarly burdened by a vendetta.
Gu An watched for a while, then walked towards his own loft.
Back inside his room, he did not watch Jiang Shi practice swordsmanship again. He recalled the prior conversation between Jiang Shi and Lu Jiujia and had no intention of intervening.
