"This is unbelievable, right? Maybe the Gu family had lied about it to keep him safe? Didn't you see that their Eldest Son was almost assassinated?"
"Nah, it isn't a lie. One of the doctors who checked him up had told my grand uncle that this Gu Chen youngster had indeed caught a very peculiar illness. It was rapidly corroding his vitality and life force."
"Then how come he is alright? Not only that, from how easily he dominated that rogue Tie Xiong, he must be in Muscle Refinement?"
"Right. Now that you say this, wasn't he just a middling Skin Refinement cultivator before he fell ill?"
"Hey, ignore all that about Gu kid and tell me, have you heard the Mi family head had reached the Seventh Layer of Bone Refinement?"
