Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1091: Chapter 569: I’m a Professional (Part 2)

"Brother Sheng, are we not going back to Yunhai?"

"No, the fire here is going to burn for a few days. We have to stay here to guard it, otherwise if the wind direction changes and innocent people are affected, it will be our responsibility."

Er Gou quickly understood what he meant, nodded repeatedly, and cheerfully went to call the others.

After about half an incense stick’s time, everyone gathered around Gu Sheng and followed him into the distance.

After finding the best spot, Gu Sheng led them to settle down.

Huang Shan found some dry grass, and everyone lay down on it, all facing East Mountain, watching the raging fire. Everyone felt extremely good.

"Brother Sheng, how many days do you think this fire will burn?"

"We’ll wait for three days. After three days, we’ll extinguish the fire. Three days is enough to burn away those filthy things."

"Brother Sheng, where will we go after we leave here?"

After Shi Lou asked, Gu Sheng glanced at Luochuan and said softly, "To find King Luo and Saint Ya."

"To find them? But we don’t know where they are."

"We don’t know where Saint Ya is, but we know where King Luo is, right? Luochuan."

Understanding Gu Sheng’s meaning, Luochuan nodded.

"I will take you there."

With these words from him, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They camped here for three days, watching the fire slowly extinguish bit by bit. Only then did Gu Sheng lead them over.

Seeing that everything that needed to burn on the mountain was burned, leaving basically nothing but wasteland, Gu Sheng then released Spiritual Energy to extinguish the remaining flames.

Seeing his actions, the others also took action, extinguishing all the fires.

After looking around, Gu Sheng used Divine Power to create a gust of wind.

Sure enough, some ashes began to reignite, faintly revealing flames again.

Focusing on those areas, Gu Sheng acted again, back and forth several times, ensuring no flames reignited under the stimulation of the strong wind, and then he led the people away.

Leaving East Mountain, Gu Sheng then focused his gaze on Luochuan’s face.

"Do you know the way?"

"I know, after all, I grew up there. I can walk back with my eyes closed, but I don’t really want to see him. Once there, can I avoid showing up?"

Thinking about it, Gu Sheng shook his head.

"You probably won’t be able to avoid showing your face, as we are not very clear about the matter concerning King Luo and Saint Ya. Sometimes we need you."

After he finished speaking, Luochuan’s expression looked somewhat troubled.

Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng gently curled his lips.

"You can show up, but not as Luochuan."

Hearing this, Luochuan seemed puzzled.

"If I don’t show up as myself, then what identity should I use? My father will definitely recognize me."

"Don’t worry, I’ll disguise you when the time comes, not even your own father will recognize you."

"Brother Sheng, you know the Disguise Skill?"

Shi Lou exclaimed in surprise, as Gu Sheng nodded.

"I know a bit, it should work."

After saying this, Hong Mei patted his shoulder.

"Gu Sheng, if your skills aren’t proficient, don’t try to show off, or else what if you harm Luochuan? In this aspect, I’m quite skilled, remember I’m from Mirror Gate?"

Looking at Hong Mei, Gu Sheng’s eyes lit up.

He had just been thinking about whether he had the ability and forgot the truly capable person beside him.

"I nearly forgot you. Since you’re skilled, you do it."

"Sure, Luochuan, what do you want to change into? More handsome or more ordinary?"

"Ordinary, I don’t want to stand out or attract too much attention and especially don’t want him to find out. The more ordinary the better, so ordinary in a crowd that no one would take a second look."

Understanding his meaning, Hong Mei patted her chest.

"No problem, leave it to me. But I don’t have enough things with me right now. Let’s settle down in that town ahead, and I’ll buy some things from the herbal store to help you disguise."

"Thank you, Sect Leader Hong."

"No need to be polite, you’ve already apprenticed under Bai Yu, we’re all one of our own, why be so polite with me? Besides, this matter is reliant upon you as well."

"Don’t worry, I want to kill him more than any of you, I’ll do my best to help you."

Seeing his determined expression, Bai Yu patted his shoulder.

"Rest assured, I’ll definitely fulfill my promise."

"Thank you, Master."

After spending more time together, Luochuan no longer clung to Gu Sheng, but rather got along better and better with Bai Yu. Now he calls him ’Master’ more willingly and fluently.

The group headed to the town ahead, arriving just at noon.

Smelling the aroma of the dishes wafting from the restaurant, Shi Lou rubbed his stomach.

"Brother Sheng, it’s rare we find a restaurant, let’s have a hearty meal, you’re treating, how’s that?"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng found it both funny and exasperating.

"Shi Lou, how do you make others treating sound so chivalrous?"

"Brother Sheng, you aren’t ’others,’ whether you treat or I treat, it’s no different, let’s enjoy a good meal!"

After he finished speaking, Er Gou nodded eagerly on the side.

"Brother Sheng, I’m craving too, I haven’t had restaurant food in ages, let’s enjoy a good meal!"

Seeing their greedy expressions, Gu Sheng laughed and nodded.

"Alright, I’ll treat, let’s have a hearty meal!"

With Gu Sheng’s words, the two hurriedly ran into the restaurant, each running faster than the other.

Before Gu Sheng and the others even entered, the two were already ordering dishes.

After a short while, a table full of delicious dishes appeared.

Seeing only food but no wine on the table, Lan Yao couldn’t help but frown.

"How did you two order? Only food and no wine, how can we enjoy ourselves?"

Hearing this, the two tacitly glanced at Gu Sheng.

"Brother Sheng didn’t say we could drink wine, so we didn’t dare order."

"Because Gu Sheng didn’t say so, you didn’t dare? What’s there to be afraid of? He doesn’t eat people."

Solemnly saying this, Lan Yao turned to Gu Sheng, immediately displaying a somewhat flattering smile.

"Brother Sheng, since we don’t have much to do right now, this place being days away from King Luo’s mansion, why don’t we have some wine?"

Looking at him, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"I don’t eat people, why speak to me like that?"

"I’m just being respectful, since you’re treating, I have to ask, right?"

"Don’t ask, asking means no. If you want to drink, wait until the evening, and you can treat later. Then, drink as much as you want."

Hearing this, Lan Yao smiled.

"That’s fine, I’m a rich kid, I can’t be short of Silver, right? So tonight, let’s drink heartily!"

Knowing that Gu Sheng said this intentionally, Bai Yu also nodded with a smile.

"We’ll still have business later. Once I’ve bought the herbs and everything is done, then we’ll have a proper celebration."

"No problem, young master I won’t be short of Silver, no limit on how much you can drink."

Lan Yao’s rich kid demeanor amused everyone.

After a hearty meal, Gu Sheng promptly booked a few top-tier rooms at this inn, and after arranging them, they went straight to the herbal shop.

Upon entering, Hong Mei handed a list directly to the shop assistant.

"Assistant, gather the herbs according to my list. Not one too many or too few."

After looking at the prescription, the assistant scratched his head.

"Dear customer, what kind of ailment does this prescription treat? I can’t see what it’s for."

After asking, Hong Mei’s expression darkened.

"You’re a herbal shop assistant, not a doctor, there’s no need to ask the purpose of my prescription, just gather the herbs according to my request. If you can’t, I’ll go somewhere else."

After this, Hong Mei picked up the list and was about to leave, but the assistant hurriedly stopped them, apologized repeatedly, and quickly gathered the herbs.
