Li Ya had returned with plenty of gifts for Gu An, including cultivation herbs and overseas magic artifacts. When Gu An tried to politely refuse, Li Ya left without further ado by jumping out the window, leaving Gu An in silence.
Yang Jian also marvelled that this senior apprentice-brother was a remarkable person.
Though Li Ya seemed unreliable, his actions and words made Yang Jian quite fond of him.
Being deeply moved by Li Ya's earlier promise to protect him at all costs, Yang Jian acknowledged him as his senior apprentice-brother.
After spending some time in Profound Valley, Gu An, along with Yang Jian and the Blood Prison Great Saint, headed towards the Outer Sect City as the Heavenly Ranking Tournament approached. Immortal cultivators occasionally streaked across the sky, not only from the Supreme Sect but also cultivators from both within the land and overseas.
