Gu Zhao had just spent two shameless, wanton days with Zhuo Qingyan when Li Qingshuang returned.
"You killed the Netherfire Sect Leader?"
"Yes, I said I would—mmph—"
...
"The world is a huge place. It's only been a few days since I destroyed the Nether Fire Sect. How did you get the news so quickly?"
「The next day, in the backyard of the Daluo Palace's Sect Leader.」
Gu Zhao lounged leisurely in a chair, cracking melon seeds and sipping hot tea. He asked Li Qingshuang, who was beside him, "Were you at the He Yan Mansion at the time?"
Although a bitter wind howled outside and heavy snow was falling, the entire Daluo Palace was as warm as spring. A hundred flowers were in bloom, and the warm sunshine made everything feel comfortable, not cold at all.
Li Qingshuang shook her head. "I had just entered Yongzhou from Yazhou."
