Gui San and Gui Si rallied their spirits as the arrival of the Young Master marked a turning point in the situation. Gui Wu emerged from behind the youth, his complexion pale and his body weak, as if he might collapse at any moment, yet his eyes shone with determination as he swiftly sat down.

Elder Can had no time for fear; what came next was crucial. He personally went to protect Gui Wu, slowly awakening the half of the Ghost Shadow remaining within Gui Wu, like the weak and dispirited Gui Wu himself, listless and on the verge of dissipating at any moment.
