"Me?"

Gu Shen felt a little helpless. He had only been cultivating for a little over half a year.

Why did these young, belligerent people of Nagano see him as a new major enemy?

The time that Chang's family should pay attention to is too short. But now it seems that you and Bai have only practiced for half a year...

The Eater of Iron is recognized as a dangerous person!

Shen Li's strength at the fifth level of the Deep Sea Zone was already at the late stage of the second phase.

If Gu Shen had another year, what would he become?

After today's fight, those geniuses who planned to participate in the rookie battle next year felt a little uncertain.

With Bai Xiu in front and Gu Shen behind, it could be said that they were born at the wrong time.

However, those who want to pursue the "Dream of Tinder" are destined to have no chance with the "Seat of God" if they are afraid.

Under the great tide.

Only those who stand at the top of the wave are qualified to glimpse the afterglow above the Seat of God. "I am not interested in the rookie battle."

Gu Shen said calmly, "I won't participate this year, and I won't next year either."

Now it was Gong Zi's turn to be surprised.

He looked at Gu Shen, completely silent.

Gong Zi looked strange, feeling that the guy in front of him was someone he couldn't figure out at all… Is there an extraordinary person in this world who can refuse the temptation of the "Dream of Tinder"?

Doesn't want to become a Seat of God?

Who wouldn't want to try… becoming a Seat of God themselves?

In fact, Gu Shen only said half of what he was thinking.

He was not interested in the "Rookie Battle", but he was very interested in the "Dream of Tinder".

But thinking about it carefully, Gu Shen didn't think it was necessary for him to participate in this "Rookie Battle."

What he was going to do next was far more "grand" than what these young geniuses in Nagano Snow Forbidden City thought: repairing the Qing family's array patterns and exploring the "truth of slumber" of Gu Changzhi's Seat of God.

Most importantly… regarding the acquisition of the "Dream of Tinder", Gu Shen had a more direct and effective channel than the geniuses of the five great families.

He could directly talk to the tomb keeper.

With the relationship between the tomb keeper and Gu Changzhi, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain a wisp of the "Dream of Tinder", right?

…

"They are eating."

"What else?"

"Nothing… just eating."

In the whistling wind and snow, a mechanical pupil flashing with electric arcs slowly rotated above the rain clouds. The scene in the old alley of the Snow Forbidden City was gradually enlarged. Finally, the water-blurred window was split into clear human images by thermal induction.

The woman in the black feather coat was sitting in the back seat of the car. The car was parked at the exit of the old alley. She didn't get out of the car, but waited patiently in the car, closing her eyes to rest.

Rather than closing her eyes to rest.

It was better to say… that she was constantly recalling the images of the "Dream of Thorns" in her mind.

In Bai Lu's mind, the images kept rewinding and freezing. She pressed the rewind button and freeze button again and again, trying to capture in her memory the "third person" who appeared out of thin air in the spiritual world, the stunning white-skirted girl who was like a god.

This second seemed to have been deleted.

She clearly remembered seeing it… but there were no related images in the memory saved by her mental power.

It was like a missing frame.

Just like the feeling when looking directly at that girl.

All of this was dreamy, illusory, and unreal.

The [Wind Eye] had been monitoring the scene in the old alley.

Bai Chen had lent part of his authority in the prison to his younger sister.

As Gong Zi said, there were no secrets in Nagano. In fact, from the day the Deep Sea connected the five continents, humans no longer had any secrets. There were always ears on the walls, and eyes always hung in the sky. Pairs of eyes hung high in the sky, and ears were pressed against the ground. When the Deep Sea Zone took shape, what determined whether secrets existed… was just the cold, ruthless, and orderly "authority level."

Bai Lu sneered, "Going to so much trouble, just to eat? Who would believe this nonsense?"

An urgent voice said, "Miss… that one from the Gong family has made a move."

The woman still kept her eyes closed, her eyelids fluttering slightly.

Sure enough.

This meal could not just be an ordinary meal.

"But… Gu Shen didn't accept it."

Her subordinate's regretful voice came, "Unfortunately, [Wind Eye] cannot capture sound. This requires higher authority. Perhaps Mr. Shan can borrow this recording."

"No need."

Bai Lu slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the scene of people sitting opposite each other reconstructed by Deep Sea calculation through the thermal imaging of the rising hot pot mist, and shook her head, "Gu Shen didn't shake hands, which means he won't join forces with the Gong family for the time being."

Her mood was a little complicated.

The original annoyance and resentment slowly fermented during the waiting time, but in the end, it didn't brew into anger, but instead evolved into… gloating.

"Gong Zi, who followed me, trying to pick up a bargain, must be very disappointed… Gu Shen… is indeed a clever guy who is consistent on the inside and out."

Bai Lu smiled, rubbed her forehead, and said to herself:

"Gu Shen wants to 'keep to himself'…

But doesn't he know that not offending anyone is the same as offending everyone?"

"Being in Nagano, facing the olive branches thrown by the five great families one by one, he doesn't want any of them. Does he want to ascend to heaven alone?"

However… Gu Shen hasn't refused all five families. At least, the Li family hasn't shown up yet.

Thinking of this, she was about to get out of the car when a report suddenly came from the [Wind Eye].

"Someone is rushing to the alley…

"Miss, it's someone from the Li family."

Bai Lu's posture of pushing the door suddenly froze. She sat back down, quickly started the car, and backed away from the alley, avoiding meeting the upcoming visitor head-on. "This is really interesting."

Speak of the Li family, and the Li family arrives.

She watched the clear image projected by the [Wind Eye] of the street with interest. The image quickly zoomed into the alley. It seemed that only two people from the Li family had come, one large and one small, one male and one female, walking into the wind and snow of the alley.

Before the [Wind Eye] could completely lock the angle, the tall man walking behind glanced at the howling wind and snow in the high sky before entering the alley.

He also opened a simple and unadorned thick cloth umbrella to shield from the wind and snow.

As well as things outside the wind and snow.

The next moment.

Bai Lu frowned.

The picture in the [Wind Eye] turned into a jumble of garbled code, mixed with the broken sound of electricity. It was as if an invisible force was interfering with the capture and imaging of the electronic components. Only by shifting the monitoring line of sight could it return to normal.

She thought of that capable person from the Li family who even her brother was afraid of, and she had a rough idea of the identity of the visitor.

The eldest lady of the Bai family murmured and laughed, "Today is really… a gathering of all kinds of deities."

She supported her forehead, and in addition to being surprised, she was a little puzzled.

It was fine for her to come along. Gong Zi came, Mu Nan came, and now the Li family also came.

They all came! What kind of magic does this seemingly unremarkable guy, Gu Shen, have? This is only his second day in Nagano, and he has already met all the important figures of the younger generation of the five great families?
