Chapter 1200 624: Safety and Danger
The Second Elder paced back and forth in the hall, stopped, and loudly said, "The only solution now is to hand over Gu Sheng to the Supreme Immortal Sect to express our apology. Perhaps this might invoke their great mercy to spare our Tianlan Sacred Land."
The Seventh Elder echoed, "Indeed, Gu Sheng may have potential, but compared to the survival of our Tianlan Sacred Land, it's not worth mentioning."
Gu Sheng was standing by the window of a side hall, looking at that terrifying aura, and smiled bitterly in resignation.
He was merely a cultivator with some fortuitous encounters, yet valued so highly by various factions, thrust into the eye of the storm, becoming the key figure deciding the fate of Tianlan Sacred Land. But is this really what he wanted?
While everyone was arguing incessantly, the cold voice of Tianxuan Divine Girl sounded in the hall, "Gu Sheng, where is your master?"
Gu Sheng replied desolately, "My master has already passed away."
Tianxuan Divine Girl said, "In past years, your master and I had some connection, and he left behind a marriage certificate."
Originally, it was thought that Gu Sheng wasn't the fiancé of Tianxuan Divine Girl, but this unexpected news seemed to bring a turning point to the whole situation.
Daoist Xiushan urged tremblingly, "Gu Sheng, quickly! Check the marriage certificate; it might be the lifeline for our Tianlan Sacred Land!"
Gu Sheng calmed his inner turmoil and took out a large box from the Void Ring.
Everyone gathered around curiously.
Gu Sheng gently opened the box, inside of which were neatly arranged four to fifty marriage certificates, the papers either yellowed or brand new, each exuding a unique aura.
Gongsun Yue, seeing the box full of marriage certificates, worried whether her relationship with Gu Sheng would be affected by this.
Tianlan Saint Mother sensed Gongsun Yue's unease and comforted her, "Yue, don't worry. Regardless of how these marriage certificates in the box turn out, your marriage certificate with Gu Sheng must be signed, for it's the only way to resolve this disaster for our Tianlan Sacred Land."
Gu Sheng began to carefully search through the pile of marriage certificates for the one belonging to Tianxuan Divine Girl. Each certificate picked up was carefully examined for its handwriting and runes.
Tianxuan Divine Girl Luo Xi stood quietly on the side, her thoughts inscrutable.
The Second Elder muttered quietly, "With so many marriage certificates, Tianxuan Divine Girl must be extremely dissatisfied with Gu Sheng's behavior. Even if the marriage certificate is found, I doubt it; Gu Sheng is likely to be divorced on the spot."
Daoist Xiushan glared fiercely at the Second Elder and whispered harshly, "Shut your crow's mouth. Our only hope is that Gu Sheng truly is Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé; otherwise, we all will not survive."
Bixuan, standing by Tianxuan Divine Girl Luo Xi's side, couldn't contain her curiosity. She slightly turned and softly asked Tianxuan Divine Girl, "Divine Lady, do you think Gu Sheng can find the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate with you? What do you think of him?"
Tianxuan Divine Girl Luo Xi raised her eyes slightly, her gaze calmly sweeping over the focused Gu Sheng, her tone indifferent, "This person barely meets some of my requirements." Her expression was cold, making it difficult for anyone to decipher her true thoughts from her words and demeanor.
Bixuan smiled slightly, then praised, "Divine Lady, you might not know, but this Gu Sheng shone brightly on the Holy Road. He passed barriers and gained powerful inheritance.
In my opinion, in this Xinghong Spirit Domain, he is a rare talent." She turned to look at Tianxuan Divine Girl, seeming to await a response.
Tianxuan Divine Girl softly acknowledged with an "Mm." without saying more. Her gaze remained calmly fixed on Gu Sheng, as if pondering matters beyond him.
At this moment, Gu Sheng was entirely focused on finding the marriage certificate. His hands quickly flipped through the certificates, scrutinizing each one without overlooking any detail.
One after another, he went through them, but there was still no marriage certificate in the name of "Luo Xi." His brows gradually furrowed, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he shook his head in resignation, showing disappointment and dejection as he softly said, "No, I didn't find Luo Xi's marriage certificate."
Daoist Xiushan and Daoist Tianji, initially full of hope, had their expressions change upon hearing Gu Sheng's words and quickly leaned in towards him.
Daoist Xiushan urgently inquired, "Are you sure? Truly didn't find it?"
Gu Sheng nodded again in resignation, confirming this disappointing answer to everyone.
Momentarily, the hall erupted; the hope once held was shattered, replaced by deep disappointment.
Gu Sheng also felt a wave of bewilderment swell within him; he originally thought he was Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé, but this result extinguished his fantasy.
Bixuan was similarly quite surprised; she had full confidence in Gu Sheng finding the marriage certificate, believing Gu Sheng and Tianxuan Divine Girl were mystically linked, and the search for the marriage certificate was a sure success.
But reality let her down, and she murmured to herself, "How could this happen? I originally thought..."
Tianxuan Divine Girl Luo Xi, in her heart, also quietly revealed her disappointment.
She had been anticipating that Gu Sheng was her fiancé; if so, she could willingly, wholeheartedly, fulfill the marital contract. Gu Sheng's appearance once allowed her to see the possibility of a perfect ending in this chaotic world.
Yet, all hope turned to bubbles; with her extraordinary vision, finding another man who could catch her eye in this Xinghong Spirit Domain proved challenging.
The Second Elder and the Seventh Elder exchanged a glance upon realizing Gu Sheng was not Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé, a sinister glint in their eyes.
The Second Elder was the first to speak, his voice sharp and urgent, "Since Gu Sheng is not the Divine Girl's fiancé, keeping him here is a disaster. In my opinion, we should apprehend him and hand him over to the Supreme Immortal Sect; perhaps it might quell their anger."
