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

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: The Sect with Ten Million Disciples



Upon hearing Gu An's words of comfort, Wu Jue could only offer a bitter smile. An amused chuckle came from a nearby cell.

"Covering the sky with one hand? The Sheng Family really has such capability!"

Gu An turned his head to look and saw an old man with white hair approaching the edge of the prison cell, his hands bony and clutching the mahogany bars. He looked at Gu An with a face full of scorn.

Gu An feigned a frown and asked, "Could it be that you are also from the Sheng Family?"

The old man laughed and said, "If I were from the Sheng Family, how would I have ended up like this? Like your friend, I offended the Sheng Family, and even the Hall of Elders told me to lay low for a while. I've been locked up for a century now, and I fear I will spend the rest of my days here, waiting for the day the Sheng Family sheaths their butcher's blade."

After listening, Wu Jue slightly lowered his head.

Gu An angrily said, "I refuse to believe it, is the Sheng Family really so tyrannical? I am going to find the Sect Leader now!"

With those words, he left with a swish of his sleeve.

Wu Jue opened his mouth but in the end said nothing. Deep down, he too harbored a glimmer of hope.

The Third Medicine Valley was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers; the socially adept Gu An might indeed find a way.

After Gu An's presence faded from the dungeon level, Wu Jue began to worry.

He suddenly feared that if this did not succeed, it might instead implicate Gu An.

"Wu Jue, isn't it? I didn't expect you to have such a naive friend. Shouldn't the side of a genius be surrounded by hypocrisy?"

The old man said in a mocking tone. Wu Jue didn't respond, too weary to engage with him.

Wu Jue was already familiar with the man's toxic tongue, and he disdained to argue with such people.
