Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1054: Chapter 551: I’ve Always Hated Trouble

Upon hearing Gu Sheng’s plan, Bai Yu’s eyes lit up.

”Gu Sheng, aren’t you too clever? This way, it’s killing two birds with one stone! Not only can we easily take down the Black and White Ghosts and rescue Wushuang Taoist, but it also creates a sensation in the Jianghu, mobilizing all forces to strike, resolving future troubles. This plan is truly brilliant!”

”There’s only one chance, we must plan it out. Call Lan Yao and the others, we’ll discuss further.”

Bai Yu nodded and quickly sent someone to call them.

Everyone was roused from sleep and hurried over.

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

”As long as we can take down the Black and White Ghosts, nothing else matters.”

After Shi Lou spoke, Er Gou leaned in.

”Brother Sheng, what should we do in the week before taking action?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

The task of spreading rumors had already been handed over to Bai Yu’s subordinates. As for themselves, it seemed they really had nothing to do.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Sheng smirked.

”Shanshui Town has plenty of good stuff. Since you’re here, don’t waste the trip. Don’t you have lots of things you want? Take this opportunity to make your moves.”

”But the marketplace hasn’t started yet.”

”The marketplace hasn’t started, but both buyers and sellers have arrived. Are you afraid you won’t find anything to buy? The number of stalls on the streets has been increasing these days; maybe you’ll find something you like.”

Everyone considered this and realized he was right.

The stalls around them visibly increased; they just hadn’t had time to browse. Now with an extra week, they surely could find what they wanted!

”Brother Sheng, when should we go?”

Glancing outside, Gu Sheng got up directly.

”Since we’re free anyway, let’s go now.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they immediately followed him up.

Arriving on the street, everyone finally had time to browse thoroughly.

After only a few steps, Bai Yu arrogantly pulled out silver and pocketed a treasure.

Lan Yao was not to be outdone and quickly found something good.

Walking from one end of the street to the other, almost everyone gained quite a bit, except Gu Sheng hadn’t made a move yet.

”Gu Sheng, among so many things, isn’t there anything you like? Why don’t we go check over there? That alley might have something good.”

Bai Yu pointed with his hand. Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

”Sure, since we’re free, let’s go.”

Laughing, everyone headed toward the alley, looking left and right at the various stalls.

As everyone’s attention gradually scattered, Gu Sheng vaguely sensed something amiss.

Behind them... it seemed someone had been following all along!

At the corner, Gu Sheng took the opportunity to turn his head, his sharp gaze sweeping around.

Sure enough, as he turned around, a figure quickly dodged into the shadows.

Seeing the fluttering hem, Gu Sheng frowned.

With such little skill, they dare follow us? Completely overestimating themselves!

Seeing Lan Yao pay with silver, Gu Sheng grabbed him.

”Stop buying, go further inside.”

After saying this, he gave Bai Yu a tug as well.

Noticing his expression, the two quickly sensed something was wrong, so they stopped immediately and followed him inside.

They pretended to browse while walking, but in reality, they kept their eyes on the surroundings.

As the number of stalls began to decrease, Gu Sheng and the others began turning to the right.

The person behind seemed to hesitate but still followed.

Seeing he had followed, Gu Sheng slightly curled his lips.

After turning this corner, they all hid in the shadows.

In just a moment, the sound of footsteps came to their ears.

Locking onto his position, Gu Sheng turned his wrist, and a divine power flew out, directly blocking the person’s path.

The person seemed unexpected of their ambush, stumbled upon Gu Sheng’s divine power, and fell forward.

Seeing how easily he was caught, Gu Sheng stepped forward and stepped on his wrist.

”Following us for so long, tired, aren’t you?”

The person gasped in pain, continually pleading for mercy.

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Gu Sheng couldn’t help frowning.

He squatted down and looked, sure enough, the one following them was the person who had fought over rooms with them before!

Upon seeing him, Gu Sheng’s face quickly turned cold.

”I said, don’t let me see you again, or I’ll send you to meet King Yan. Do you take my words as mere wind beside your ears?”

Upon hearing this, cold sweat broke out on the person’s forehead.

”Brother, I mean no harm! I really mean no harm this time! I want to be your disciple but feared you’d kill me, so I followed secretly!”

After he finished, Gu Sheng sneered.

”Do you think I’ll believe such a lame excuse?”

”I’m telling the truth! I swear to the heavens, if even one word is a lie, let me be struck by lightning!”

He said, genuinely raising his hand, pointing straight to the sky.

Seeing his actions, Lan Yao and others fell silent.

Gu Sheng frowned and eventually let go of him.

”Where are those people with you?”

”I’ve scattered them all. With my current capability, I can’t lead a sect. Rather than have them suffer with me, it’s better for them to seek another path.”

”You actually thought it through.”

After Gu Sheng spoke, he wryly shook his head.

”I figured it out too late. If I had sooner, those people wouldn’t have died.”

His words made Shi Lou frown.

”You’re the ones who picked a fight with us first, and when you couldn’t match our skills, you died at our hands. Now you blame us?”

”No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. I don’t blame anyone. I only blame myself. Brother, after witnessing your strength that day, I’ve wanted to be your disciple, but I dared not show myself, so I quietly followed. Please accept me! I beg you!”
