Yu Die has a delicate mind. Seeing Gu Sheng's sad face, he knew what he was thinking, so he started to prepare the food and wine gently. After a while, a sumptuous table of delicacies and two jugs of fine wine were placed on the table.
"Come on, Gu Sheng, we won't go home until we get drunk tonight." Yu Die smiled and filled a glass of wine for Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng picked up the wine glass, took a deep look at Yu Die, and felt a warm current in his heart. "Thank you, Yu Die."
The two toasted to each other, and the aroma of wine overflowed. In this confined space, there were only two of them, and it seemed as if the whole world had become quiet.
"Do you think we will see Lin Tianhao again?" Yu Die suddenly broke the long silence, her eyes flashing with anticipation and reluctance.
Gu Sheng put down his wine glass, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and took a deep breath. "Maybe. How can we meet in life? Our fate with Lin Tianhao may not be over yet."
Yu Die nodded gently, as if he was comforted by Gu Sheng's words, "Yes, no one can predict the future. I just hope he can find his own path and live happily."
The two continued to drink and chat, talking about each other's past and future. Gu Sheng talked about her adventures when she was young, while Yu Die shared interesting stories about her family. In this closed space, their laughter and conversations intertwined to form a harmonious picture.
Time passed unconsciously, and the food and wine on the table gradually decreased. But the topics between the two of them seemed to never end, and they chatted happily and happily.
Suddenly, a breeze blew through the window of the speed car, bringing in the fresh breath of the outside world. Gu Sheng stood up and walked to the window, looked at the starry sky outside and sighed, "The stars are so beautiful tonight."
Yu Die also stood up and walked to his side to stand side by side. "Yes, they seem to be telling us something."
The two of them smiled knowingly and continued to admire the beautiful starry sky and enjoy this rare quiet time.
A month later, Butterfly Shadow Flying Carriage landed steadily in the square of the Rain Tribe's territory. Yu Die and Gu Sheng stepped off the speed car and were immediately greeted by the guards of the Rain Clan.
"Miss, you are back!" The guard saluted Yu Die respectfully.
Yu Die nodded, turned to Gu Sheng and said, "Gu Sheng, you go to rest first, I will report to my father about this trip."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Soon after, Yu Clan Chief Yu Qingyang learned that her daughter had returned and hosted a banquet in honor of Gu Sheng. At the banquet, Yu Qingyang was smiling, but there was an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.
After the banquet, Yu Qingyang met with Gu Sheng alone. He took Gu Sheng into a room of Secret Chamber in the Rain Clan. The smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by seriousness and indifference.
"Gu Sheng, I thank you for taking care of Yu Die during this period." Yu Qingyang said slowly, "But I think you are not suitable for being together."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly. "Why did the patriarch say this?"
Yu Qingyang snorted coldly, "I have secretly investigated your background, and you don't have any prominent family background in Xiwu. Moreover, you have friendship with those bandits, which makes me very dissatisfied."
Gu Sheng felt a chill in his heart, but he still remained calm. "Chief, I do have friendship with Xing Lie and others, but they are them and I am me. I am not a bandit, but a practitioner."
"Practitioner?" Yu Qingyang smiled disdainfully, "Do you think a practitioner can be worthy of my daughter? Let me tell you, Yu Die is the princess of my Yu tribe, and her future husband must be a talented young man from a famous family with a prominent family background."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, knowing that no matter how many explanations he gave, it would be in vain. So, he chose silence.
Seeing this, Yu Qingyang thought that Gu Sheng had given up on the difficulty, so he continued, "Since you are here, I will not let you go back empty-handed. Come with me and go to our family's warehouse to select something."
Gu Sheng followed Yu Qingyang to the warehouse. The door of the warehouse slowly opened, revealing a dazzling array of treasures inside.
Yu Qingyang pointed at the treasures in the warehouse and said, "Just take whatever you like."
Gu Sheng looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a strange-looking flying car. This flying car is all black, with exquisite butterfly patterns engraved on its body, as if it can fly into the sky at any time.
"I want this flying car." Gu Sheng pointed at the flying car and said.
Yu Qingyang glanced at the flying car, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. "This flying car is called Profound Grade Butterfly Shadow Flying Carriage, and it is one of the treasures of my Yu clan. Are you sure you want to choose it?"
Gu Sheng nodded. "OK."
Yu Qingyang didn't say anything more, he just looked at Gu Sheng deeply, then turned and left the warehouse.
Gu Sheng walked to the speeding car and looked at the legendary Profound Grade Butterfly Shadow Flying Carriage carefully. He discovered that the driver's seat of the speeding car was inlaid with a lifelike butterfly puppet. He only needed to embed spiritual stones in the back of the puppet to drive the speeding car to travel thousands of miles a day.
"What a good thing." Gu Sheng secretly praised it in his heart, then jumped on the speed car and prepared to leave the Rain Clan territory.
Before he left, Yu Qingyang found him again, with a hint of displeasure on his face. "Gu Sheng, I hope you can remember what I said today. You are not worthy of my daughter, so it is best to leave her as soon as possible."
Gu Sheng smiled calmly, "Don't worry, Patriarch, I have my own sense of discretion." After saying that, he started the speed car and disappeared into the sky into a stream of light.
Yu Qingyang looked at the direction Gu Sheng was leaving, with a complicated look in his eyes. He didn't know if his decision was right, but he knew that as the leader of the Rain Clan, he had to consider his daughter's future.
Gu Sheng drove Profound Grade Butterfly Shadow Flying Carriage, and after drawing an elegant arc in the sky, he landed steadily in an unknown country. Here, with towering ancient trees and auspicious atmosphere, you can tell that it is a paradise on earth.
As soon as he got off the speed car, he heard a burst of laughter like silver bells coming from the distance. He turned around and saw a little woman wearing a nun's robe, jumping towards him. Although the woman was dressed as a nun, she could not hide her elegant and refined appearance. Her big eyes shone brightly, as if she could speak.
"Is this brother Gu Sheng?" Little Nun came closer, looked at Gu Sheng curiously, and asked.
Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Are you...Little Nun Jingyin?"
Little Nun chuckled, clasped his hands together and said, "I meditated yesterday and felt supernatural powers. I knew that brother Gu Sheng was coming to the Dragon Cloud Kingdom today, and it was true! Jingyin specially came to invite brother to our Dragon Cloud Kingdom's Magic Battle Convention today."
Gu Sheng Hearing this, his heart moved. He had already heard about the reputation of the Dragon Cloud Kingdom Magic Battle Convention. This time it happened to be the right time for him, so he would not miss it. So, he nodded in agreement and said, "Such a grand event cannot be missed. Princess Jingyin, please lead the way."
Princess Jingyin was overjoyed when he heard this and led Gu Sheng towards the Dragon Cloud Kingdom's palace. Along the way, the two of them chatted and laughed, quite feeling as if they had met each other too late.
Soon after, they arrived at the palace. At this time, Magic Battle Convention has already started. Gu Sheng looked around and saw that there were many masters gathered in the field, and all kinds of magical powers emerged one after another, which was dazzling.
Princess Jingyin led Gu Sheng to sit down in a conspicuous place, and then explained in a low voice, "The winner of Magic Battle Convention this time will have the opportunity to receive personal guidance and rewards from our country His Majesty the Emperor."
Gu Sheng nodded, indicating that he understood. He sat quietly on the sidelines and observed the game. He found that these contestants were not weak in strength, and each had their own unique spells and magical powers.
Finally, it was Gu Sheng's turn to play. He walked slowly to the center of the field, took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged. His opponent was a middle-aged monk with considerable strength, but Gu Sheng did not feel nervous at all.
After the game started, Gu Sheng activated his magic power, and a golden bell appeared out of thin air and slowly rotated. This is one of his defensive spells that can withstand most attacks. At the same time, he began to run the mental formula in Great Prajna Sutra to interfere with the opponent's mana operation.
Sure enough, the middle-aged monk soon felt something was wrong. He found that the operation of his magic power became extremely difficult, as if it was suppressed by something. He was secretly frightened, and began to use all his strength to cast spells in an attempt to break this suppressed state.
"Boom..."
Gu Sheng But he didn't give him a chance. He saw the golden bell suddenly speeding up and spinning and making a deafening sound. Amidst this noise, the middle-aged monk felt dizzy and restless, and then he lost his ability to resist and was defeated.
"Okay!" Everyone on the sidelines cheered and applauded, cheering for Gu Sheng's wonderful performance. Even the first Divine Monk nodded slightly in approval.
Princess Jingyin jumped up even more excitedly. "Brother Gu Sheng, you are great! You really did not disappoint me!" After saying that, she ran over and gave Gu Sheng a big hug to express her congratulations. This caught Gu Sheng off guard but also made him feel very warm and happy.
The onlookers were even more envious. To be hugged like this by the princess was a treatment that many young men from aristocratic families dreamed of.
After that, Gu Sheng became the guest of the Dragon Cloud Kingdom, and was personally received and entertained by the emperors Long Aoyu and Empress, which was a great honor.
In the palace, he also met the young man he had met in the mountains and forests of Xiwu before - Long Youguang. It turns out that he is Princess Jingyin's brother and His Highness the Crown Prince of the Dragon Cloud Kingdom. The two hit it off immediately and chatted happily.
When the news came back to the Rain Clan territory, Yu Clan Chief Yu Qingyang couldn't help but turned pale in astonishment. He didn't expect that Gu Sheng, whom he looked down upon, could actually shine in the Dragon Cloud Kingdom Magic Battle Convention, which made him feel very embarrassed and embarrassed.
At the same time, it also made Princess Yu Die feel ashamed. She once told her father that Gu Sheng was a great talent, but his father disagreed. Now it seems that she has seen the right person.
"Father Emperor, Queen Mother, look at how outstanding Gu Sheng is! We Dragon Cloud Kingdom must entertain him well!" Princess Jingyin said coquettishly, pulling the sleeves of the emperor and Empress.
"Okay, okay! I will obey you, I will obey you!" Emperor Long Aoyu patted Princess Jingyin's head lovingly and said with a smile, "Gu Sheng, little friend is indeed a rare talent! I will reward him well!"
Empress also smiled and joked, "Jingyin, you see that little friend Gu Sheng is so good, why don't you marry him! What's so good about being a nun? It's also good to find a good man by your side!"
Princess Jingyin blushed immediately after hearing this, glared at Empress, pouted and said, "Queen mother, you are here again! I am a monk and don't talk about this!" After saying that, she turned and ran away, leaving only the emperor and Empress looking at each other and smiling.
Inside the palace, it is splendid and magnificent, with carved beams and painted pillars. Crown Prince Long Youguang and Gu Sheng walked side by side, crossing the corridor and heading towards the imperial garden. Long Youguang looked at Gu Sheng with admiration and said with a smile, "Brother Gu, you really opened my eyes. The vision of Vajra Demon Suppressing Bell is really shocking."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Crown Prince is overly praised, it's just a fluke."
At this time, in the Imperial Garden, Emperors Long Aoyu and Empress were enjoying tea leisurely, while Princess Jingyin was lowering his head and whispering to the side, not knowing what he was thinking.
"My son, please see Father Emperor, mother." Long Youguang pulled Gu Sheng forward and saluted.
Emperor Long Aoyu raised his head and looked at Gu Sheng, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes. "Gu Sheng, I have heard about your performance on Magic Battle Convention, it is very good."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Gu Sheng responded respectfully.
At this moment, Yu Clan Chief Yu Qingyang strode in with an eager look on his face. "Your Majesty, I have something important to discuss."
Emperor Long Aoyu frowned slightly. "Patriarch Yu, why are you so panicked?"
Yu Qingyang glanced at Gu Sheng and took a deep breath. "Your Majesty, I would like to betroth my daughter Yu Die to little friend Gu Sheng, and invite him to join the Rain Clan and become Guest Elder of our clan."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Princess Jingyin also raised his head and looked at Gu Sheng curiously.
A trace of amusement flashed in Emperor Long Aoyu's eyes. "Oh? Patriarch Yu is quite generous, but this matter depends on what Gu Sheng means."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and responded in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "Patriarch Yu is so kind to me, I am very grateful to Gu. But I haven't considered the love between my children yet, I just want to focus on cultivation."
Yu Qingyang heard this, his face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. "Gu Xiaoyou, do you know the influence of my Yu Clan in the Western Region? By joining our clan, you will receive endless resources and protection."
Gu Sheng shook his head. "Patriarch Yu, I don't look down on the Rain Clan, but I have ambitions in all directions and don't want to be restricted."
Yu Qingyang frowned, he did not expect Gu Sheng to refuse so firmly. He took a deep breath and tried to persuade again.
At this moment, Empress suddenly said, "Patriarch Yu, it doesn't taste sweet if you force yourself to force it, so why do you have to force it?"
Emperor Long Aoyu also nodded and smiled, "Yes, Patriarch Yu, young people have their own ideas and ambitions, we should respect them."
Yu Qingyang heard this, although he was unwilling to accept it, he could only nod helplessly. "In that case, I won't force it. However, little friend Gu Sheng, if you change your mind, the door of my Rain Clan will be open to you at any time."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "Thank you Patriarch Yu."
The turmoil seemed to have subsided, but the atmosphere in the palace became subtle as a result. Gu Sheng's refusal made Yu Qingyang lose face, but at the same time it also won him the respect of everyone present. And Princess Jingyin looked at Gu Sheng with something a little strange in his eyes.
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, a guard suddenly came to report in a hurry, "Your Majesty, it's bad! A large number of monsters suddenly appeared outside the city and are rushing towards the palace!"
