"Greetings, Young Master!" the group kneeling before him said in unison.
Gu Tao was dumbfounded and looked at Gu Cheng beside her with great confusion, "What's going on?"
Gu Cheng laughed, addressing Gu Tao with a different title now, and immediately said, "Young Master, you'll understand when you meet the Master. Please follow me."
Gu Tao followed Gu Cheng with a puzzled look on her face. Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, she said, "Well, I'm not your young master. Please get up!"
Everyone stood up in unison, turned around, and respectfully said, "Respectfully seeing off the young master!"
Gu Tao was completely baffled. What was going on?!
Gu Tao anxiously asked Gu Cheng, "Butler, why are these little brats calling me Young Master?"
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "They are orphans from all over the country, and they are here to learn martial arts so that one day they can protect the safety of the master and the young master."
“Then I’m not the young master either! You must have made a mistake!” Gu Tao said.
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Whether there's a mistake or not, it's all up to the master to decide."
Gu Tao became curious about who this "master" Gu Cheng was talking about was.
Gu Cheng led Gu Tao to the study and said, "Young Master, please wait here. Master will be back in a few days."
Gu Tao was stunned. "What? In a few days?! No, no, I didn't even tell Father and Mother I came back this time. I have to go back!"
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Once the young master's identity is confirmed, the master's identity will also be confirmed. Then we can go back together."
“That won’t do either, my mother will worry about me!” Gu Tao said firmly.
In fact, Gu Liyan and Hua Baixian didn't notice Gu Tao at all; they only discovered her later!
Gu Tao tried to push the door open to leave, but found she couldn't open it no matter what she did. She immediately pointed at Gu Cheng and said, "What are you doing? Why did you lock the door!"
"I have no choice but to do this to prevent the young master from running away from home," Gu Cheng said with a smile.
Gu Tao stomped her feet in anger, yelling, "Run away from my sister?! Let me out right now, or I'll beat you to death!"
Gu Cheng squinted and chuckled, "Young Master is joking. The people in Thousand Absolute Fortress have transcended life and death. You can't kill me!"
Gu Tao was stunned, staring at Gu Cheng in surprise. "What did you say? Thousand Absolute Fortress?!"
Gu Tao looked around and thought, "Could this be... Thousand Absolute Mountain?!"
