There were subtle changes in the attitude the teacher Zhang Ji displayed towards this "Outsider Student".
After the teacher-killing incident, Gu Shenwei garnered mostly suspicion and respect from the Golden Roc Fort, yet when he was with Zhang Ji, he could not help but feel a hint of disgust and watchfulness coming from Zhang. This was rightfully the reaction to be expected from normal people, yet it was different at the Stone Castle.
The two of them chatted idly, and there were many gaps in their conversation. The words did not flow out from Zhang Ji like before, and Gu Shenwei could not directly speak about what he had eavesdropped. After a fruitless discussion in which both were beating around the bush for half of the day and from which he did not get much information. Thus, Gu could only bid his farewell.
