Seeing Stealing the Five Elements willing to teach the disciples spells, Gu An was secretly pleased. This guy knew how to get along with people and was more sensible than Nine-Fingered Divine Monarch.
With more disciples in Medicine Valley, Gu An felt the distance between them growing ever wider. Though they bore the name of master and disciple, they lacked the true nature of that relationship. Even so, Gu An still hoped they would have a better life and gain more opportunities for immortal cultivation.
Stealing the Five Elements immediately took action, and along the way, he saw Gu An and even greeted him.
After they had gone far away, Gu An approached the chessboard and looked at Nine-Fingered Divine Monarch, smiling, "How about a game?"
Nine-Fingered Divine Monarch snorted, "No, go find him to play if you're so capable."
"That's fine. I feel that he's quite formidable, and I'm not assured of victory, so I can't start a game lightly."
