That would result in this phenonon.
However... during this attempt, Gu Shen got what he wanted. After putting on the "Ghost Veil," the atmosphere around him beca much more sinister.
This sealed item should indeed be able to gather misfortune for him.
...
...
The train slowly pulled into the station.
Wei Shu, looking nervous, arrived at the station with a group of people, waiting not far from the platform.
Wei Shu had left the control room in person because he wanted to see the situation for himself... It had been uplifting when Yan Li reached the scene, but then he lost contact with Deep Sea!
This sudden turn of events left Wei Shu feeling very uncertain.
He saw the last carriage door open.
Yan Li erged with three young Transcendents, all of them unhard, except for a slight scratch on Ling Wei’s cheek... It was a minor injury that had almost completely healed at this mont.
Wei Shu let out a huge sigh of relief.
He quickly stepped forward, about to express his gratitude.
"Don’t thank ..."
Yan Li, seeing what Wei Shu was about to say, gave a wry smile and turned back towards the door, saying, "You should thank Mr. Xiao Gu. Without him, we might all have been done for."
"Mr. Xiao Gu?"
Wei Shu was taken aback.
A young man and woman stepped off the train.
"Gu Shen?!"
Wei Shu of course rembered this youth who had left Da Teng City two years ago. When Gu Shen’s Extraordinary Awakening occurred, it was he who had been in charge of the case file handover. He had also heard of Gu Shen’s series of deeds thereafter.
But he hadn’t expected there to be a day of reunion.
What shocked him the most was that Mr. Yan Li was a powerful figure from the eighth level of the deep water area.
If Gu Shen had saved him, did that an...
"Mr. Wei, long ti no see."
Gu Shen greeted this acquaintance with a smile. His impression of Wei Shu was actually quite good; he was a young commander with considerable talent and dedication. It was precisely because of such people guarding Da Teng City and the nine districts that East Continent could enjoy its current peace.
"And this is...?"
Wei Shu’s gaze turned toward the woman beside Gu Shen, unable to ignore her.
Chu Ling’s appearance and attire were simply stunning.
"My wife."
Gu Shen smiled and said, "We’ve just finished a temporary mission. Zhou Xiao’s body is on the train... As for the sealed item ’Ghost Veil,’ it’s a big trouble, so I won’t transfer it to you. As for the follow-up case files, don’t worry, just write truthfully that the ’Ghost Veil’ was taken by , I will explain it to the higher-ups of the tri-institutions."
"Ah... okay."
Wei Shu paused, only then realizing that Gu Shen standing before him was no longer the naive youth he had first t.
Today, his heroic deeds at Changye Cetery.
In the deep water area of East Continent, were well-known to everyone.
Wei Shu gave a wry smile.
With Gu Shen’s identity and status, it wasn’t really necessary to contact the higher-ups of the tri-institutions to take away such a sealed item.
Everyone thus left the platform.
"Brother Gu, are you returning to Qing River for...?" Wei Shu struck up a conversation with Gu Shen as they walked. In truth, there wasn’t much of a past between them, but among those present, only he could plausibly be considered an acquaintance of Gu Shen.
This ti, Gu Shen had done them a great favor.
If they were to part with just a cursory goodbye... It would seem rather awkward.
"To visit so old friends."
Gu Shen smiled and replied very simply.
Actually, in Da Teng... what old friends did he have?
He had been taken to Da Du shortly after passing the trial of the tri-institutions.
Wei Shu had seen Gu Shen’s file countless tis and knew that the young man’s ho was located on Wulaoshan in the far outskirts of Da Teng. This visit, in all likelihood, was to see the welfare institute that raised him.
He said no more.
Just as he hesitated how to speak and express his gratitude to Gu Shen, a deep voice sounded not far away.
"Gu Shen?!"
The two groups nearly collided at the corner.
Wei Shu looked astonished, seeing the old man with a scarred face donning a wide-brimd hat, and imdiately stood at attention, "Judgnt Chief!"
The old man, equally astonished, adjusted his askew wide-brimd hat and looked at the young man whose deanor had undergone a radical change, chuckling, "I truly did not expect this..."
Yan Li smiled, "Father, the ’mysterious Transcendent’ who saved on the train was Gu Shen."
He had sent out a final distress signal before being dragged into the carriage by the Ghost Veil Domain.
After the danger was averted, Yan Li had notified his father and hurried over with people... He concealed Gu Shen’s presence, rely describing the situation on the train and then keeping the identity of the mysterious Transcendent a secret.
He knew that the old man had always been sowhat concerned about his past failure to recruit soone.
After all... Gu Shen’s current radiance was truly too dazzling.
As expected.
When Yan Shicheng saw Gu Shen, his face was full of shock; he had not anticipated encountering this young man here.
"Not long ago, Mr. Shan ntioned you to ," Yan Shicheng said with a aningful smile. "Mr. Shan said because of your warning, headquarters avoided a trendous trouble..."
Gu Shen was slightly taken aback.
He couldn’t help but laugh, "Mr. Shan overpraises."
Others might not quite understand.
But the two conversing knew exactly what they were talking about.
This referred to the Netherworld King’s forgiveness of Mr. Shan for stealing from the mansion twenty years ago.
Gu Shen felt a bit regretful; it seed he had been too hasty on this journey... He had yet managed to visit the Netherworld Mansion filled with "Mr. Shan’s apologies."
A Grand Judge who sat in Yan Shicheng’s position, second in command of the prison, was of great importance; apart from Changye, there were only eight in the whole East Continent.
Mr. Shan, as the Grand Judge at headquarters, had good relations with the other judges from the eight zones.
Thus, in their daily conversations.
Nothing would be concealed.
After the Judgnt Chief’s arrival, the others consciously made way.
Leaving Gu Shen and Yan Shicheng space to be alone.
An elder and a youth walked together for a while.
Yan Shicheng joked, "Actually... I’ve always felt quite regretful these years. If I had been more determined back then, would I now share in your glorious achievents?"
Gu Shen just smiled and said nothing.
"Of course, I am well aware... there’s everything in this world, except ’what ifs’."
Yan Shicheng’s smile gradually faded as he slowly added, "Actually, I know that even if I had another chance, the result would be the sa... I have never beaten Zhou Jiren in my life, not even once."
"But that’s a good thing."
The old man clapped Gu Shen on the shoulder with force, smiling again, "You have shone brightly, even brighter than I imagined. So say you will be the next Gu Changzhi, I don’t think so... I believe you are uniquely yourself, but you won’t be any less impressive than Gu Changzhi was. Clearly, our brushing past each other back then was the right choice of destiny. Congratulations, Gu Shen, we have beco war allies, and I feel relieved, happy, and honored because of this."
The old man stood still, speaking these words very slowly, each word resonated with strength.
Finally, he extended his hand.
As Gu Shen listened, his gaze beca sowhat distant.
He had always had a good mory.
He still rembered very clearly, the last ti he t the Qinghe Judge was in a small interrogation room.
Among a flurry of docunts.
Yan Shicheng had said to him.
["Gu Shen, I look forward to the day you shine bright... Though we parted ways today, we will eventually beco war allies."]
What made Gu Shen bewildered was that this ti, they were no longer in an interrogation room.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
This ti, after the handshake, Gu Shen noticed... the old man had "shrunk" a bit, and his temples had also turned sowhat whiter.
"Is this eting a surprise from fate? The only pity is that soone is missing."
Yan Shicheng laughed heartily, speaking earnestly, "However... we all believe that your lousy teacher won’t co to harm in the mysteries of Moon City, after all, a scourge lives for a thousand years, and he’s no good thing!"
