Listening to a good tale while eating roastOil was sluo’s face, so that she didn’t appear womanly at all However, it did make her seem much more youthful and lively

These two conflicting statusesthe Gu Clan’s unique situation
Here, the Gu Clan’s important disciples received extraordinary treatment However, those viewed as unimportant were placed in an incredibly aard situation Actually, it wasn’t unheard of for those disciples to be picked on
Just like the human race, the Gu Clan had st their ranks They were truly like a miniature society What Su Chen had witnessed was just the “tip of the iceberg” of this strange society
