The scene fell silent for a moment. Marquis Lingyou was the first to recover, clasping his hands solemnly and saying, “Sir, the profundity of your techniques truly leaves me in awe.”Gu Ning’an smiled and gestured toward the tea, inviting them to drink. He replied, “Marquis Lingyou flatters me.”“This is no mere flattery,” Marquis Lingyou insisted. He lifted the teacup and took a deep sniff. A faint wisp of white steam entered his wide nostrils.

Without actively sensing or deducing events, he had no idea the spell on the tailor shop’s signboard had been triggered, nor did he expect this group of ghostly deities to seek him out in the dead of night.The spell character on the signboard had been greatly enhanced by Gu Ning'an, with its power and effects amplified many times over.Previously, the character functioned by discerning “people.” It still retained that ability,…
