Methods of Extending One's Lifespan

"Yes, yes, I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me, sir."

With that, he turned and left in disgrace.

Gu Sheng shook his head and was about to close the door when a clear voice suddenly came from behind him.

Creak.

The door was pushed open, and a handsome young man in brocade robes strode inside, the jade pendant at his waist chiming with every step.

"Brother Gu, are you satisfied with Moon Gazing Pavilion?"

Tang Qingyun wore a broad smile, but his gaze kept sweeping over Gu Sheng.

"This is the finest lodging in the city, especially for martial artists."

Gu Sheng did not turn around. He merely replied indifferently.

"You have gone to great trouble, Young Master Tang."

Tang Qingyun did not mind. He walked over to Gu Sheng's side and lowered his voice.

"Moon Gazing Pavilion is not only the largest inn in the city. It was also built specifically for martial artists to cultivate together through dual cultivation."

He smiled meaningfully.

"There are several female cultivators in the pavilion with decent cultivation. If Brother Gu is interested—"

"No need."

Gu Sheng turned around, his gaze as calm as still water.

"Gu is not fond of such things. Being alone suits me better."

Surprise flashed through Tang Qingyun's eyes before he smiled.

"Brother Gu truly is different from the rest. Very well. If you need anything, just give the word."

He cupped his hands.

"Then Tang will not disturb you any longer."

After Tang Qingyun left, Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

The young lord of Blazing Sun City seemed warm and enthusiastic, but some scheme was hidden deep within his eyes.

He walked to the bed, sat cross-legged, and began regulating his breath and cultivating, all while remaining vigilant against any possible surveillance.

The night passed without incident.
