"Indeed, you may leave now."
Ling Chen spoke indifferently.
This lad knows when to advance and when to retreat.
"Yes."
Gu Lin rose to his feet.
"Many thanks for bestowing the elixir, Young Master!"
Gu Lin spoke again.
"Hmm."
Ling Chen nodded gently.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lin said no more, retreated backward out of the room, and gently closed the door.
By the time he left the courtyard, his back was drenched in cold sweat.
"Are you alright?"
Gu Ce immediately came over to ask.
"I'm fine."
Gu Lin swallowed a gulp of saliva, nodded vigorously, and then turned to Gu Ce, saying, "Thank you, Sixth Grandfather, for saving my life!"
Had he not knelt there for an entire day, had he not tested the elixir for Ling Chen, Ling Chen might have truly taken his life.
Gu Ce sighed and said, "Remember, never provoke matters related to Young Master Ling in the future."
"This grandson understands."
Gu Lin nodded solemnly.
Then the two of them disappeared into the central palace.
