Although the old man was old, he was not confused. He could see that although Gu Mingyue and Xinghe were half a level below him, there was not a trace of fear in their eyes for his powerful abilities.
He didn't think these were just two arrogant young people; he suspected they were secretly hiding crystal cores and suppressing their level to mislead outsiders.
In order to enjoy the air conditioning, the old man insisted on chatting with Gu Mingyue and slowly moved over to sit down.
Gu Mingyue knew he was just trying to get some air conditioning, but the other party was a powerful expert half a level above her, and he meant no harm. He didn't even try to force her to buy their air conditioner fan when he saw it at the crater. So what reason did he have to push her away?
She was also quite curious about how this old man had become the manager of this safe zone.
And so, the two of them began to chat, each with their own hidden thoughts.

Perhaps it was Gu Mingyue's ethereal voice that stirred the old man's memories. He took out a yellowed photograph from his pocket and stroked the young man and middle-aged woman in the photo.
She whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stopped you in the first place."
Although Gu Mingyue didn't understand the meaning behind his words, she still listened silently for a while.
It wasn't until night fell again and midnight that the Black Zone, which everyone had been eagerly anticipating, finally opened.
At 00:01, all members of the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce, worried about the safety of their guild leader, mobilized and were the first to enter the Black Domain.
