Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1090: Chapter 569: I’m a Professional

After venting, everyone once again turned their gaze to Gu Sheng.

”Brother Gu, since the Fan Sect is controlled by Saint Ya, she is the true mastermind endangering Jianghu. Shouldn’t we bring her out and kill her to resolve this matter?”

”Yes, yes, she is the true mastermind. We can’t let her go!”

”Right, kill her!”

Seeing the crowd’s growing agitation, Gu Sheng quickly raised his hand to stop them.

”Everyone, don’t be hasty. Saint Ya’s situation isn’t as simple as we think. She was once one of the top experts in Jianghu and not easily defeated by us. Moreover, she’s intentionally hiding now; it’s not that easy for us to bring her out.”

”What should we do then? We can’t let her continue to harm Jianghu, can we?”

With these words, everyone began chiming in with various opinions.

Gu Sheng pinched his brow and looked at everyone, saying, ”I know you all come from renowned sects and despise such crooked ways, but the timing isn’t right. I ask everyone to keep a low profile and be ready. If Saint Ya truly appears, we’ll gather all our forces to kill her.”

After Gu Sheng’s words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement.

”Alright, then we’ll retreat to strengthen ourselves. When Jianghu needs us someday, we’ll give it our all!”

”Brother Gu, you are wise and upright. If you encounter any trouble in Jianghu later, don’t hesitate to contact us. We will be ready to help.”

Hearing everyone’s words, Gu Sheng clasped his fists in gratitude.

”Thank you all, I will remember it well. Today’s matters are concluded, until we meet again in Jianghu.”

After speaking, everyone clasped their fists and turned to leave.

Gu Sheng watched until the last sect had departed before he looked at the Sect Leader of the Qikong Sect.

”Why aren’t you leaving?”

”Brother Gu, did you stay until now because there’s more to do? I thought I’d stay and see if I could help. After all, you’ve helped me so much, and I’d like to repay you.”

Saying this, he scratched his head awkwardly.

Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng was amused.

”I do have something to do, and you can help.”

”What can I do?”

”Set this place on fire.”

”Huh?”

”Don’t doubt it, you heard right. Just set it on fire. Saint Ya used all kinds of means to cultivate these people, and they all have poisonous insects inside them. They grew up here; this place won’t be clean. If we don’t burn it, it might be used by Saint Ya or others in the future.”

After Gu Sheng’s explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

”Indeed, we can’t let them have the chance to cultivate poisonous insects again, or it would spell disaster if another Fan Sect emerges.”

”Burn it! Burn it now!”

Bai Yu’s wrist turned, and a cluster of flames instantly flared at her fingertips.

Simultaneously, the Sect Leader of the Qikong Sect ignited flames.

Gu Sheng pulled Hong Mei back a step.

Sensing his grip, Hong Mei frowned.

”Gu Sheng, I’m supposed to set the fire, why are you pulling me?”

”They can handle the fire, you just stay back to avoid getting hurt.”

”I don’t care, I want to set the fire, I want to burn this place!”

As Hong Mei struggled, Gu Sheng simply grabbed her waist and took her away.

In his arms, Hong Mei struggled, shouting as she tossed flames. Gu Sheng paid no mind, ensuring she wasn’t scorched as he carried her away from the scene.

Seeing his domineering manner of carrying her with one arm, Er Gou was full of envy.

”Shi Lou, when can I have romance?”

”You’re asking me? I don’t even know myself!”

”What to do then? Are we just going to be together for life?”

”Get lost, who wants to be with you for life.”

Shi Lou gave Er Gou a shove, making Huang Shan laugh.

”You should hang around the Mirror Gate folks; it’s a rare chance to see women.”

”Mirror Gate, huh? They’re all quite strong and a bit too fierce...”

As soon as Er Gou spoke, everyone burst into laughter.

Hearing the distant laughter, Hong Mei’s big eyes fiercely looked at Gu Sheng.

”Were they laughing at me?”

”No, they wouldn’t dare.”

”I’m not there, why wouldn’t they dare! They must be laughing at me because of you! You had to take me away like that!”

A soft punch landed, and Gu Sheng steadily caught it.

”Alright, alright, blame me, blame me, I’ll make them stop laughing.”

Having said this, Gu Sheng flung his hand casually, releasing Spiritual Energy, and the laughter immediately halted.

Hong Mei looked at the hand he held, a blush on her face.

”Gu Sheng, let go of me.”

Hearing her shy and playful voice, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

”Why, weren’t you eager to set the fire earlier without a second thought, now you’re shy?”

”I was just eager to set the fire, didn’t think that much!”

”Much? How much? Tell me more.”

Gu Sheng suddenly leaned closer to Hong Mei, making her blush red.

”What are you doing!”

”Nothing, just thinking the Mirror Gate Sect Leader looks cute when she’s blushing.”

After Gu Sheng said this, Hong Mei blushed even more.

At this moment, Er Gou ran over, breaking the mood.

”Lan Yao, the fire is set, look!”

Seeing Er Gou’s excitement, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly and turned towards East Mountain.

Over at East Mountain, the fire was blazing fiercely, clearly showing that they must have set the whole mountain ablaze.

”Great, go call them back, we’ll find a place to settle down.”

Hearing Gu Sheng’s words, Er Gou scratched his head in confusion.
