Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1042: Chapter 545: Evil Demon’s Subordinates Escaped

After a topic was concluded, the Great Elder patted Gu Sheng’s arm.

"Gu Sheng, someone is waiting for you, already anxiously scratching their head."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a bit puzzled.

As he turned his head, he met the eyes of the doctor who was indeed scratching his head.

At that moment when their eyes met, the doctor was so excited he nearly cried.

"Young Master Gu, I toast to you."

Saying this, he gulped down the wine in his cup, but drank too fast and ended up coughing.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly helped pat his back.

"Why are you drinking so fast? Are you feeling better?"

The Great Elder smiled beside them, and said with deep meaning: "He isn’t drinking fast, he’s stifled by words he can’t express."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng looked amusedly at her.

"If you have something to say, just say it, why rush?"

The doctor wiped his mouth, a bit embarrassed, and said: "Actually... actually, I wanted to ask if you could accept me as a disciple, but thinking about my age... it’s a bit embarrassing to say..."

He awkwardly scratched his head, and Gu Sheng recalled the words from that day.

"Your medical skills are good, but the Evil Demon’s methods are a bit unconventional, so I treated them by mistake. Dedicating yourself to study would be better than wasting time by my side."

"You’re so skilled, how could following you be a waste of time? Young Master Gu, are you unwilling to accept me as a disciple?"

Seeing his eager look, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.

"It’s not that I don’t want to accept you as a disciple, but I travel extensively and seldom return to Stone Village, so the time I can teach you is extremely limited. Moreover, you’ve practiced medicine for years, and I only know the basics. By proper calculation, we’re not sure who will teach whom. I’m not withholding anything from you, I’m just speaking the truth."

After he finished speaking, the doctor looked disappointed.

"Being able to cure Young Master Bai’s illness shows that your medical skills are definitely better than mine."

"Not necessarily, because most of Young Master Bai’s illness was cured by medicinal herbs, not only did I contribute, but the Elf Clan and the Great Elder also contributed. The combined efforts can’t really count as a matter of medical skill."

"You could manage so many herbs and cure Young Master Bai’s illness, you must have real skills."

Seeing him a bit stubborn, Young Master Bai helplessly pinched his brow.

"Alright, alright, why are you getting more stubborn with age? Gu Sheng never hides anything, he won’t lie to you. He travels extensively, can you follow him? You’re a doctor, aren’t you afraid of losing your way following him? Just focus on your studies at the White Cloud Sect."

Seeing the doctor’s increasingly disappointed expression, Gu Sheng thought for a moment, then took out a secret technique from his chest.

"I think this might help you, you can take a look."

The doctor took the secret technique from Gu Sheng’s hands, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu! Thank you, Young Master Gu!"

"No need to be polite."

As dawn broke, the banquet finally dispersed.

Gu Sheng and the others didn’t return to the Great Elder’s courtyard; instead, they went to the guest room that Young Master Bai had arranged in advance.

The Great Elder let them be, but Gu Sheng insisted on going back to the guest room.

The group slept for a full day and night, finally recovering their vibrant energy.

When Gu Sheng was about to look for Young Master Bai, he saw a few people rushing in that direction.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Sheng felt these people looked familiar, they should be the ones who had accompanied Young Master Bai at the Evil Demon Sect that day.

Seeing their hurried steps, Gu Sheng thought about it and decided to follow them.

After the group entered, he stopped and didn’t go to bother them, maintaining a certain distance.

When the Great Elder arrived, she saw him from afar.

"Gu Sheng, what are you doing standing here? Why aren’t you going inside?"

"I think it’s Young Master Bai’s subordinates, I fear they have important matters to report, so I’m waiting here."

Hearing this, the Great Elder understood.

Gu Sheng had been here for a while, and in all aspects, he maintained a sense of propriety, which made her greatly admire him.

"Gu Sheng, you are not an outsider to us, come in with me."

"No, I’ll just wait here."

"It’s not necessary, come in with me."

While the two were arguing, the door opened.

Seeing them outside pulling on each other, Young Master Bai was completely puzzled.

"What are you...?"

Seeing him, the Great Elder said helplessly: "Gu Sheng has been here for a while. He saw your subordinates enter, so he waited outside. I told him not to be an outsider, just come inside with me, but he just won’t agree."

Understanding the whole story, Young Master Bai personally went forward and pulled him in.

"Gu Sheng, the Great Elder is right; you’re not an outsider, there’s no secret in the White Cloud Sect that you can’t hear. My subordinates are here to report matters of Jianghu, you should listen too."

This time, Gu Sheng didn’t refuse but followed his footsteps through the door.

The three sat at the head table, and Young Master Bai’s subordinate respectfully saluted.

"Have those two sects already been eradicated?"

After Young Master Bai asked, his subordinate nodded.

"Replying to the Young Master, most of the people from those two sects are dead, but two elders escaped, and they are still being sought."

Hearing this, Young Master Bai couldn’t help but frown.

"I sent so many people there, how could anyone escape? How are you managing tasks?"

"Young Master, these two have extraordinarily powerful Evil Skills and seemingly know some secret technique; we only blinked, and they disappeared without a trace."

As Young Master Bai started to get angry, Gu Sheng raised a hand to stop him.

"Don’t be anxious; something is fishy."

"Fishy?"

"Yes."

Looking towards people from the White Cloud Sect, Gu Sheng asked: "Did you bring anything related to these two?"
