Chapter 1589: Naive
After chatting with Ye Guan for a while longer, Zong Gu had formed a basic understanding of Ye Guan's background and backing. In the end, he came to the conclusion that Ye Guan was indeed a second-generation cultivator with a fairly strong family behind him, but they weren't too strong.
At the very least, they were probably not stronger than the Jun Clan.
Of course, he didn't fully believe everything Ye Guan said. That was just his nature; he only ever believed seventy percent of what others said, while remaining doubtful of the remaining thirty percent.
Before leaving, Zong Gu cupped his fists and earnestly said, "Brother Ye, from today onwards, the Zong Clan is on the same side as you. If you need anything at all, just give the word."
Ye Guan replied with a look of "heartfelt emotion," saying, "Brother Zong, you must be careful as well. If you're ever in danger, be sure to contact me. No matter how far away I am, I'll come to your aid."
Looking at his honest and sincere face, Zong Gu sighed inwardly. After exchanging a few polite words, he turned around and left.
Ye Guan escorted him to the gate, and then he walked away. On the way, he ran into Old Ji, who was clearly waiting for him.
Old Ji hesitated for a moment and asked, "Young Master Ye, forgive my boldness. What exactly did Zong Gu discuss with you?"
Ye Guan said, "Brother Zong couldn't stand the Jun Clan's actions, so he defected to my side."
Old Ji looked at him carefully. "And you believed him?"
"Of course," Ye Guan said, nodding. "He even brought me some of the Jun Clan's confidential plans, how could it be fake?"
Old Ji grew curious. "May I take a look?"
