Han Sen himself was surprised. Although he had seen Luo Haitang in Godslayer Shelter, he hadn’t agreed to any of the man’s requests or given him anything. So, why would the old man send a gift? It seed as if he really wanted to re-establish a connection with Luolan.
But given Luolan’s personality, Han Sen knew what Luo Haitang might have been like. It had been many years since he saw her, and there had been no texting or form of communication in the anti. If he’d really wanted to send her sothing, he’d had plenty of ti to do it. It wouldn’t have had to be that day, of all days.
Now that he had sent sothing, it obviously had sothing to do with him having just t Han Sen.
“Mom, I didn’t do anything for him. I didn’t agree to anything.” Han Sen went on to relay the story of how he encountered Luo Haitang.
“You dodged his palm?” Luolan looked at Han Sen with wide open eyes. She looked as if she was in shock.
“I didn’t learn the Falsified-Sky Sutra, either. But you know that I knew about it and what to expect. Is there sothing wrong with the fact that I managed to dodge it?” Han Sen didn’t think there was a problem.
“No, there’s nothing wrong. You did a great job.” Luolan was very happy to hear this. She put her fingers on Han Sen’s cheek and rubbed it. “My good son, you really did a great job.”
“What does that an?” Han Sen looked confused, not entirely sure what had just happened. He had very rarely seen her this happy.
“Nothing. It’s just good, that’s all.” Luolan smiled and left, not really answering Han Sen’s question.
Han Sen rested at ho for another two days before returning to the sanctuary. When he got back, he went directly to Gu Qingcheng’s room.
Just as he was about to knock on the door to her chamber, he heard Gu Qingcheng’s voice say, “Co in, the door isn’t locked.”
Han Sen lightly pushed the door open. Gu Qingcheng was in front of a table, drawing with an old pen.
Han Sen learned about what she was doing in a history lesson; it was calligraphy. She was using a brush pen, a tool devised by ancient humans to write. They weren’t really used anymore.
The few that still existed were typically used by artists for a few odd tasks. He hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to be the sort to love them like so.
Han Sen wasn’t very good with art, but he could tell that she must have had a lot of practice to draw with the level of talent she had.
Gu Qingcheng lowered her pen. She took a mont to admire her own artwork before asking, “Why were you looking for ?”
Han Sen smiled and then said, “I t soone who told so wild things about you. I don’t know if he was a liar, so I’d like to ask you for the truth about these things he said about you.”
“Oh? What did he say about ?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Han Sen as if her curiosity had been piqued.
Han Sen had already established how he’d approach this conversation in his mind. Now, he smiled and said, “He said you killed Cruel Chi. Is that true or false?”
Gu Qingcheng frowned and said, “Maybe. I don’t rember. I have killed many creatures in my lifeti.”
“Cruel Chi was a famous demi-god super creature. If you killed one such as that, you wouldn’t have forgotten, would you?” Han Sen didn’t believe her.
“I really did just forget. Why would I lie about this?” Gu Qingcheng said, with lifted lips.
Han Sen thought that if Gu Qingcheng wanted to lie, she would have just said a simple yes or no. He couldn’t quite tell from the answer he was given.
“It’s okay if you don’t rember that. He said a lot of other things. He said you drank the pee of a Jade Beast to avoid dying of thirst out in the desert and...” Han Sen was going to say a few similar statents, but before he could finish speaking the first, Gu Qingcheng’s face changed.
“Impossible! No one knew about that. How would you know?” Gu Qingcheng stared at Han Sen as if she had seen a ghost.
“You really did this? Then did you hide inside the Hunting Sky Beast’s egg and end up getting sat on by the Hunting Sky Beast for an entire month?” Han Sen asked.
“Impossible! No one should know about this. Who did you hear it from?” Gu Qingcheng’s face changed. She ran in front of him and grabbed him by the sleeves.
“I said I t soone, didn’t I? He told these things, saying that he saw you commit these acts. I thought he was lying. I had no idea he was telling the truth.” Han Sen was both surprised and happy. He was now sure Gu Qingcheng was the Number 4 in the diary.
“Impossible! When I did these things, humans did not even know what a stear was. Who could have seen ?” Gu Qingcheng looked annoyed.
Han Sen froze. His eyes opened wide as he looked at her, and he said, “Stear? That is sothing from ancient tis. Were you in the sanctuary all the way back then?”
Han Sen couldn’t believe what he was hearing, but Gu Qingcheng had unwittingly proved what he wished to know.
Gu Qingcheng frowned as she stared at him. She said, “You are right. I am from that era. I was in the sanctuary even during ancient tis. Tell who told you this stuff. When I did these things, humans could not appear in the sanctuaries. They shouldn’t have been able to see .”
“No way. Back then, there were no teleporters. There weren’t even generators. How were you able to enter the sanctuary? You’re joking, right?” Han Sen heard every word, but he found it hard to believe.
“Does it look like I am joking?” Gu Qingcheng said coldly.
“But that is not right. Even if you entered the shelter, that would have been at least ten thousand years ago. Even as a demi-god, your few-hundred-year lifespan should have long been over. How have you lived for so long?”
Gu Qingcheng had admitted to sothing quite strange. He didn’t believe it.
“I don’t care if you believe it or not. I only want you to tell who told you this stuff.” Gu Qingcheng’s face looked dim.
A chill had run down her spine. The things she had done were sothing no other human could have seen. The things Han Sen spoke of were events she believed no one else would know about. Spirits and creatures couldn’t have known, either.
Now that Han Sen had said this, it spooked her quite a bit. If soone knew about these things, then it ant soone had been watching her in ancient tis and even up until now. This was a pretty scary thing to learn.
“Is there a way for you to prove to you hail from ancient tis?” Han Sen saw that she wasn’t actually joking. He had a number of different questions he wished to ask her.
