For Baixiu.

The word "opponent" was something he had almost never considered.

At least... not before.

After his talent awakened, he immediately surpassed all his peers and became the true "invincible at the same level" in Nagano.

True genius is not about surpassing others.

But to constantly surpass yourself.

He has no opponent for a long time... If he must name one, then it can only be himself.

Rain and snow fell on the umbrella.

Bai Lu looked at Xiaoxiu's calm face.

"His name is Gu Shen, and he was rated 'S-level' by the three institutes. No one knows what his true ability is... After only half a year of training, he defeated the fourth inquisitor's disciple Shen Li..."

Out of respect.

Baixiu has been listening quietly.

"If you give him another year, he will grow very strong." Bai Lu said seriously: "By then, you will be in more trouble than this year."

"Every year there's a lot of trouble."

Baixiu finally finished listening and said softly: "The Gu Shen you mentioned is indeed a genius, but... what does this have to do with me?"

"The head of the family, the great elder, and my brother...all think that this year is the best year."

Bai Lu sighed softly, "The entire Snow Forbidden City hopes that you will have a fight. If you join the war this year... it will be difficult for him not to join the war due to the influence of the tide of public opinion."

Even in Chunyu Guan, a clear answer has been obtained.

But the Bai family still believes... Gu Shen's attitude does not represent his true thoughts.

"So?" Baixiu looked at the witch silently.

so……

As soon as these two words came out.

Bai Lu was suddenly stunned. She suddenly didn't know how to express herself.

Some words cannot be brought to the table... Because of Gu Shen's relationship with Li, the Bai family has identified him as a future "rival", and the Bai family has never been soft on their enemies.

The battle of geniuses, winning or losing, will affect your spiritual state of mind.

If a demonic character who truly pursues the "dream of fire" loses in a head-on confrontation... the path to spiritual practice will become bumpy in the future.

In fact, how could Baixiu not know what she wanted to say?

"In this era, no genius will be prevented from shining."

Baixiu said calmly: "If you want to become the real 'Nagano Invincible', you won't be able to do it for long by relying on this method."

"If he is really a very strong genius, then I look forward to a battle with him... For me, meeting an evenly matched opponent is even more rare than getting that 'Dream of Fire'."

Baixiu said slowly: "It's just... I really don't see him as an opponent."

This sentence sounds very proud.

But in fact... Bai Xiu is telling the truth.

A person who only wants to be first will not care about how many pursuers are behind him.

He didn't mean the slightest bit of contempt.

This time, if I don’t participate in the rookie battle... I simply don’t want to participate.

"Okay...I understand."

In fact, Bai Lu only came to persuade Bai Xiu on the order of the family leader. If Xiao Xiu insists on staying until next year for the competition, they will not say anything because the entire Bai family... is full of confidence in him.

Give Gu Shen another year?

Even if we give him another three years, what will happen?

He is an S-level genius, and Baixiu is also an S-level genius!

"You seem to have changed when you come back this time." Bai Xiu looked at Bai Lu and said softly: "You are more... reserved than before. This is a good thing."

It's put very tactfully.

Do you want to say that you have become quieter?

She shook her head and smiled, and said: "Is it because I have been staying in the ancestral hall these days? Don't get me wrong, I have never changed. It's just that a few days ago, the guy Gu made a fortune and said that I had a hair loss in Yintang. Dark, there is something ominous about it, it is best not to go out to avoid causing trouble."

Bai Xiu was slightly startled.

"Gu Shen is also the successor of divination. He was just accepted as a disciple by the tombkeeper..."

Seeing Xiao Xiu's expression, Bai Lu quickly explained, then frowned and said, "I don't know what Master Qianye likes about him, so he is willing to teach him a technique like divination."

Divination…

Qingzuka...

The fog shadow on the mountain...

Bai Xiu lowered his eyebrows slightly.

"I'm going out for a trip." He said softly, looking up into the distance.

"Eh..."

Bai Lu only had time to say one word.

The rain was heavy.

A bolt of thunder fell, and the entire Snow Forbidden City was dyed silver.

The white clothes and white sleeves took out the umbrella, and the figure seemed to blend with the thunder. In just one step, he disappeared into the long city alley.

…

…

"Master Qianye... the person I just asked to meet at the foot of the mountain is really strange..."

Gu Shen returned to the Four Seasons Wilderness.

As he spoke, he vaguely felt the smile beneath the tabby cat mask.

Is there anything funny about this?

Or should I say that what I just said was funny?

"What did you see?" Master Qianye said with a smile.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He recalled what he saw after trying hard to look out. The fog was too heavy and the formations were complicated. He tried his best to see, but all he saw was gray fog that covered his eyes.

Even blazing fire cannot penetrate this layer of fog.

Because this is the wonderful place where "fire" condenses! If you want to clear your eyesight, you must understand all the "ancient texts" in Neiling!

"I... didn't see anything."

Gu Shen shook his head and replied: "Except for fog, it's just fog."

"The same goes for him." Master Qianye said: "He also tried hard to look at you, but... what he saw was also fog."

"Is this... funny?" Gu Shen scratched his head.

"From my point of view, this is actually quite funny." The tomb keeper replied in a rare serious tone.

"What kind of person would come to the Qing Tomb and ask for a tablet and the name on the tablet..."

Gu Shen had no choice but to speak and muttered to himself: "I want to bury a person, but I don't even know his name... Judging from his appearance, he should be from one of the five families..."

Speaking of which.

He seemed to realize something.

Born into a family of five great families.

"That person named 'Yu Shu'... is a dead soldier of the Five Families?" Gu Shen raised his head suddenly and looked at Master Qianye who was hanging upside down.

There was still a crescent-like smile under the tabby cat mask, as if gesturing for him to continue speaking.

The surname is Yu.

This is not a surname among the five major families...just like Uncle Gao, a person with a foreign surname who protects the orthodoxy.

"I have met all the young figures from the five major families..."

One name after another passed through Gu Shen's mind.

Finally, all possibilities were ruled out.

There's only...the only answer left.
To be continued...
