"Daoist Friend, you seem unfamiliar. Is there something you need help with?"
Gu An's voice came from behind, interrupting Jue Luo Sword Monarch's thoughts.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch half-turned, glancing at Gu An with the corner of his eye.
Looking at Gu An, he felt a strange sensation in his heart.
Logically, such a mortal shouldn't merit his attention, but somehow, as soon as Gu An spoke, he had turned around involuntarily, drawn to him.
He had only ever felt this way in the presence of those stronger than himself.
While sizing up Gu An, he deduced that Gu An had some karma with An Hao—though not closely connected, it indeed existed.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch asked, "Are you the Valley Master of this Medicine Valley?"
Gu An smiled and replied, "I am Gu An. May I know your esteemed name?"
Jue Luo Sword Monarch answered, "I am Jue Luo Sword Monarch, from Da Hong Sword Heaven."
