Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Li Ya Struck



After spending half the night in the Hidden Spirit Palace, deep into the night, Gu An returned to Mystic Valley.

Most of the buildings in the valley had turned off their lights, and the disciples were

practicing in the darkness. Gu An turned his head towards the forests at the edge of Mystic Valley.

He saw a figure practicing swordsmanship.

Jiang Shi!

For some reason, Gu An suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu; he seemed to see a figure from hundreds of years ago.

Back then, he had a disciple who also loved to practice swordsmanship in the forest, similarly burdened by a vendetta.

Gu An watched for a while, then walked towards his own loft.

Back inside his room, he did not watch Jiang Shi practice swordsmanship again. He recalled the prior conversation between Jiang Shi and Lu Jiujia and had no intention of intervening.

The most important aspect of being human is that everyone has their own choices to make. Gu An had already warned them, and Lu Jiujia just needed to make a choice following that warning. Whatever the choice, Lu Jiujia would have to face the consequences.

If Lu Jiujia insisted on suffering, then so be it.

The greatest care Gu An could offer to those around him was to ensure they would not die before their life span ended.

Of course, nothing was absolute. Perhaps Jiang Shi could change for the better. When Gu An pointed out Jiang Shi's past, he had already altered their destinies-a change for better or worse, time would tell.

Only in the early hours of the morning did Jiang Shi return from the woods, joining the disciples for morning drills, with Gu An joining in, chatting and laughing with the disciples during the drills, even jovially talking with Jiang Shi without dwelling on his past.

Upon learning that Gu An was not willing to accept him, Jiang Shi did not harbor any animosity towards Gu An, indicating that his nature was not beyond redemption. Naturally, Gu An would not deliberately shut him out.

Of course, by doing this, Gu An also hoped to encourage Jiang Shi to improve, and to reduce the chances of him causing trouble for Lu Jiujia.
