Gu An and Su Jin accompanied Bai Sheng on his way to the Imperial City, with laughter and joy along the way; Bai Sheng had never been so happy. During this period, Gu An would use a clone to replace himself while his real body went to pick medicinal herbs.
Su Jin was a ten-thousand-year-old Great Demon, already in the Nirvana Realm, but still had not seen through the switch between Gu An's true body and his clone.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
They had not yet reached the Imperial City, and with two years until the examination, Bai Sheng was not in a hurry; he had set out early, wanting to travel and expand his horizons.
On this day, the rain drizzled incessantly.
Bai Sheng and Gu An came to a small pavilion in the mountains to rest, and Su Jin leaped out of the bookcase, perched on Bai Sheng's shoulder, and licked his face as if trying to help him wipe the rainwater away.
