Guard

The first disciple of the Cottage was given the title of Sword Saint. After today's battle, third disciple Gu Dongliu could be made into a saint too. No one knew what the Cottage was like. Other than the Cottage disciples, no one—even College disciples—had stayed there before. This mysterious place was the sacred land for many talents in the Eastern Barren Territory.

Gu Dongliu turned around. He was still standing straight, even though his clothes were messy and had some burn marks. But so what? Everyone only had respect and admiration for him, even those not from the College. Someone like him was worthy of respect. Lu Nantian, who had lost, was the same. If he hadn't faced Gu Dongliu, Lu Nantian would be the one turned into a saint today.

"Senior Brother," Xue Ye, Luo Fan, and the others walked forward.

"Let's go," Gu Dongliu said. With that, he started walking away. Xue Ye and the others seemed to perceive something; they all followed him.
