As the sun set and dusk enveloped the mountain range, Gu An and Sin paced through the forest's edge, their shadows elongating under the slanting rays of the sun.
Trailing behind Gu An, Sin glanced left and right with wide-eyed curiosity. He was fascinated by every flower, plant, and tree—a stark contrast to the lifeless scenery of the Desperate Celestial Tomb.
Every now and then, Sin would look towards Gu An, his eyes filled with wonder.
Although he didn't know Gu An, he felt an inexplicable warmth upon first sight.
Of course, this was primarily because he had yet to form any perceptions, not understanding good from evil or the intricacies of human nature.
As they walked, Gu An and Sin encountered one of the third-generation disciples, Jiang Lan, practicing his swordsmanship in the woods.
Upon noticing Gu An, Jiang Lan immediately stood upright and bowed. He then noticed Sin at Gu An's side.
