Everyone had different thoughts, knowing that Er Gou was provoked by Gu Sheng and decided to risk it all in a gamble.
Gu Sheng proceeded forward.
Occasionally, he drew shocked and envious gazes. Everyone speculated whether Gu Sheng had already become a Martial Artist. Gu Sheng only smiled without responding. After all, no one would force him to prove it. Once he breaks through to the Jade Skin Realm as a Martial Artist in a few days, he wouldn't have to worry about revealing any flaws.
Anyway, in the eyes of the Gu's Manor higher-ups, he was considered close to becoming a Martial Artist.
Gu Sheng understood the thoughts of the clan elders of the Gu family. As long as the strength he displayed remained within a controllable range, even if he wasn't entirely devoted, the clan elders would accept it. At most, they would withhold resources to support his continued growth.
A Stone Skin Realm marksman was still more advantageous than disadvantageous to Gu's Manor.
