In this chapter, we learn that Gu's secret is that he knows where Shu'an is hiding, and that he has no intention of killing her. In fact, he knows that she has been hiding for so long that he could have killed her if he wanted to. He also knows that he can break her record, but he doesn't know how to explain his evil deed to her. He says that everyone is waiting for her to challenge the Heavenly Path, and he is amazed that she is still going up to the eighteenth floor of the building.
