That feeling of one’s thoughts being pulled by invisible threads became incredibly clear at this moment! He suddenly looked up, a mix of shock and anger bursting forth from his eyes.
"Is it Qidiao Yaoyao?! Did she use a Gu?!"
"Hmph, your reaction isn’t too slow."
Gu Sheng’s tone remained calm, yet carried a barely perceptible warning.
"It’s just some ’Heart-drawing Gu’ that subtly and gradually amplify your inner hesitation and compromise tendencies. Invisible and formless, hard to detect, but not exactly a deadly move. If not for your mind being swayed by external pressures, this Gu worm of hers might not have influenced you so easily."
Upon hearing this, Situ Qingfeng’s face turned blue and then white, filled with both fear and a sense of being ridiculed.
He recalled Qidiao Yaoyao’s seemingly clear yet unfathomable golden eyes, feeling a chill shoot up from his spine. He had fallen for it without realizing, nearly affecting Gu Sheng’s judgment!
With lingering fear, he looked at Gu Sheng and couldn’t help but ask.
"Gu, have you... have you also..."
Before finishing the sentence, he chickened out, not daring to ask the last three words "been affected".
In front of him, Gu Sheng exuded an aura as calm as a mountain, his gaze clear and sharp, showing no signs of being influenced by any Gu worm.
Gu Sheng merely glanced at him lightly, his eyes calm and unruffled, instantly silencing Situ Qingfeng, swallowing all doubts back down.
"Gu, then what should we do next?"
Situ Qingfeng suppressed the surging Qi-blood, his tone becoming respectful, even a bit reliant.
"Should we... still consider cooperating with the Five Poison Divine Sect?"
After what just happened, he didn’t dare to easily trust any deal proposed by Qidiao Yaoyao anymore.
Gu Sheng’s gaze turned towards the dark exit of the main hall, as if penetrating through stone walls to see everything happening outside.
He pondered for a moment before saying.
"Whether to cooperate, let’s wait and see.
This Qidiao Yaoyao may not be as simple as she appears."
He paused, exuding a calm confidence as if everything was within his grasp.
"Moreover, do you really think I, Gu Sheng, would entrust my life and death entirely to the assistance of others?"
Situ Qingfeng was taken aback.
