His words revealed a strong confidence that came from strength.

Gu Jinzhi finally showed a hint of satisfaction on his face: "Okay! Jiang Xue can't leave Yujing for a while, so I can only leave the affairs of the Central Plains to you."

He changed the subject, with a hint of inquiry: "Of course, you and Jiang Xue entered the Guantian Mirror to restore your damaged souls... On the battlefield, swords and knives are blind and dangerous. If you feel..."

Min Zimo suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Gu Jin from saying anything else.

When I looked again, there was no trace of Li Wei by the round table in the warm room.

Only the palace door was left shaking slightly...
