It turns out that before Li ZhenTian left years ago, he and Gu Ning had made an agreement.
The next time they meet, she must break through to Supreme!
Yet Gu Ning had long had the capability to break through to Supreme, but she kept suppressing herself.
She was afraid that after she broke through, she still wouldn't be able to see her master, the person who raised her from childhood, her lifelong guide to glory, her benefactor.
And also, her father!
Once a teacher, forever a father.
For millions of years, Gu Ning had never forgotten, remaining consistent.
Now, she finally fulfilled that year's promise.
After a while, the teacher and student sat in the backyard of the great hall, watching the blooming peach blossom trees, the two of them playing chess.
Occasionally, they would talk about past events, and Gu Ning would mention some fun things over the years.
But more often, she spoke of the disciple that she was proud of all her life.
Jiang Xiaobai!
