As she spoke, Gu Shengyin's expression turned sullen:
"It was also Master Ning Yuan who made me realize that I am the Heavenly Lone Star. It turns out those curses weren't merely words—they were true, I really am an ominous person."
"For a long time, my greatest wish in life was to call Master Ning Yuan 'master', but I cannot."
Gu Shengyin's expression was somewhat complex: "Because I am the Heavenly Lone Star, a master-disciple relationship is too intimate and would harm him."
"As I slowly learned what being the Heavenly Lone Star meant, I worriedly asked Master Ning Yuan if our close relationship would affect him. The master said it wouldn't. He told me we don't have a substantial master-disciple relationship and we don't live in the same house. Besides, he cultivates merit, so hostility affects him very little."
Gu Shengyin covered her face: "At the time, I really believed him."
Yan Zi, seeing her like this, suddenly thought of the abrupt news of Master Ning Yuan's death.
