One week later.
A streak of golden light flew across the sky above Gu Sheng City. Several clan guards looked up, realizing the light came from Gu Qinghe's power.
He had returned to the Gu Clan after spending two months at the Yin-Yang Sect. Tomorrow would be the start of the auction in Minghua City.
Without any inspection, Gu Qinghe landed in the courtyard of the Gu Clan residence. No one came to greet him.
He walked forward while storing his sword, opened the door, and encountered one of the clan servants.
The servant informed him that all members of the family were currently gathered in the Clan Hall.
Is Gu Zhen here?
Hearing the servant's words, Gu Qinghe immediately headed inside and pushed open the doors of the Clan Hall—a vast chamber supported by massive pillars where all clan members assembled.
When the doors opened, every elder and clan member turned their heads.
Gu Zhen sat upon the clan throne, his gaze fixed firmly on Gu Qinghe.
"Qinghe?"
