Late at night, in the study of the Gu Family Master.
Shang Che and Gu Shouyan sat opposite each other sipping tea, engaging in candlelit conversations deep into the night.
The two grew up together, cultivated together, and aside from being family heads, they were also old friends.

Gu Shouyan was slightly older than Shang Che.
Both had lived for hundreds of years, weathered many storms, their relationship a mix of calculated interests and genuine affection.
Gu Shouyan was straightforward and always spoke his mind bluntly, he said in a deep voice:
"You intend to take all the Shangguan Family's business back?"
