Gu Sheng spoke convincingly, weaving his words with such confidence that it was hard to tell where the truth ended and the lies began. Even Mo Buwen, somewhat muddled at the moment, gradually felt Gu Sheng's reasoning was sound.
Mo Buwen stopped dwelling on the issue and instead inquired about Gu Sheng's attire: "Junior Brother Gu, isn't it a sect rule that we must wear sect uniforms when venturing outside? How come you're not wearing one? As far as I know, even core disciples don't have this privilege, right?"
Gu Sheng, blessed with extraordinary talent and with elders in his family having ties to the Great Elder, seemed to Mo Buwen to have likely been directly arranged by the Great Elder to join the Cloud Saint Peak as a core disciple!
When Gu Sheng heard this, he could only let out a helpless bitter smile—not that he didn't want to wear the uniform, but simply because he didn't have one!
