Chapter 435: Chapter 91: A Snowscape (Long Chapter! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)_4

Gong Zi gritted his teeth, pretended to be generous, and waved his hand grandly, "It was originally a gift for you... just don’t let me see it!"

Shen Li closed his eyes again to sleep.

Gong Zi leaned closer, skeptically pinching the fabric of Gu Shen’s clothing, his face full of confusion, "Brother Gu... how did you manage that?"

He had indeed sensed Bai Xiu’s presence.

Gu Shen... had definitely met with Bai Xiu!

These two, they actually didn’t fight?

No... rather, how was Gu Shen not beaten by Bai Xiu?!

"Clearly, Changye is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human feelings and worldly wisdom."

Gu Shen distastefully moved Gong Zi’s hand away with two fingers, and asked calmly, "Is it so hard to believe that I could spend the whole night talking with Bai Xiu, sitting and discussing philosophies?"

Gong Zi shook his head frantically, "It’s possible for anyone... but Bai Xiu..."

"What about Bai Xiu?" Gu Shen raised an eyebrow.

"Bai Xiu won’t ’discuss’ with any peers." Gong Zi said with a bitter smile, "Even if there is similar verbal interaction, it would only be him ’preaching’."

Gu Shen fell silent suddenly.

Indeed.

In terms of Extraordinary Cultivation prowess... Bai Xiu was much higher than others.

"He truly is a very powerful person."

Recalling the staring at the stone monument, their mutual testing.

Bai Xiu had not seen through his "Four Seasons Wilderness."

Similarly, Gu Shen’s Chi Huo had not discerned the truth of the Thunder Realm Walker.

Gu Shen took a light breath, adjusted his mood.

The road was still long.

He himself... didn’t need to compare with others, he just needed to follow his own path!

After calming down, Gu Shen glanced at the back seat and smiled, "Brother Gong, it’s said that a loss may turn out to be a blessing. Although you lost a sealed item... I have some good news for you."

Gong Zi looked somewhat lost.

"Bai Xiu will not participate in this year’s newcomer fight." Gu Shen said softly, "You can start preparing for the competition."

It took several seconds for Gong Zi to react.

This was simply unbelievable news!

Bai Xiu had deliberately returned to Changye, yet he was not going to participate in this year’s "newcomer fight"!

With that said... his "Flame Dream" had hope now!

...

...

The news of Bai Xiu’s withdrawal from this year’s newcomer fight... first spread throughout the Bai’s Ancestral Hall, then throughout the entire Changye.

For those young Transcendents who were eager to win and chose to watch at the last moment, this was incredibly great news.

For the Bai Family.

Bai Xiu’s caprice could sometimes really be a hassle.

Inside the Wind Eye Monitoring Room.

"If he quits, he quits..."

"This year and next year, there’s no difference."

Bai Chen stood respectfully by his side.

The man leaned back in his chair, slightly reclining as he looked at the large screen, and asked softly, "It’s been a while since the sampling started, what useful information has Wind Eye captured about that young man named Gu Shen?"

The large screen began to flow with layers of code.

Deep Sea, driven by authority, began pulling information on Gu Shen from the central database from his entry into Changye.

From the moment he stepped into Changye, countless eyes had been watching this young man.

Scene after scene reflected on the large screen, split into small squares.

The vast information was filtered.

These squares were quickly eliminated, leaving only the useful "pictures."

Deep Sea rapidly captured one picture after another... a common feature in these pictures was the Chi Huo igniting at Gu Shen’s brow.

"An S-class ability, just a simple Spiritual type?"

The man’s voice was deep and powerful, he chuckled softly, "I don’t believe the archives of the Judgement Institute, nor do I believe the report submitted by Zhou Jiren, that Old Fox..."

"Father," Bai Chen spoke softly, "In Snow Forbidden City, I encountered Gu Shen once from afar... for a moment, I felt a familiar aura on him."

"Oh?"

"It wasn’t the Chi Huo..."

Bai Chen thought seriously for a moment, hesitated, and said, "I can’t describe it... that force seemed to resound with my bloodline and even suppressed it. But it disappeared in a flash."

The man narrowed his eyes, falling into thought.

He magnified the image of that night in Snow Forbidden City, which was the picture of Gu Shen being dragged into the "Domain Expansion" by Han Dang, where Wind Eye had captured a complete coherent image.

The moment the Domain expanded.

Gu Shen’s shadow seemed to turn pale for a flash.

It was a patch of snow...

This caught the attention of the Bai Family Patriarch; he furrowed his brows, staring at the video, the normally flowing images in front of the man slowed down hundreds, thousands of times.

He meticulously watched every frame.

Then he noticed something incomprehensible, something horrifying.

At the moment of landing, a patch of snow appeared on Gu Shen’s shadow.

He hadn’t seen clearly.

How that patch of snow had appeared.
