After chatting for a while, the shopkeeper's eyes began to flicker between Gu Sheng and Orchid, and then he said with a smile, "Gu Sheng, today is the first time that Orchid has brought a customer to me. It seems that you are not easy for her."
As soon as she said this, Orchid couldn't help but blush.
"Don't talk nonsense."
She said this coquettishly, her eyes raised upward to look at Gu Sheng, and after one glance, she quickly turned away, looking like a very young girl.
"Hey, you're shy after I just said something? Orchid, I didn't expect you to like this one, Gu Sheng, we Orchid have never been attracted to anyone, so you have to take good care of it."
For a moment, Orchid turned red in the face and kept tugging on her friend's sleeves, but did not stop her.
While the two were laughing, Hong Mei's face turned extremely dark.
Lan Yao and others felt the low air pressure here, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads for a while. Lan Yao kept touching Gu Sheng to signal him to speak.
"You misunderstood. Orchid and I are not the kind of relationship you think. We are just pure friends."
As soon as Gu Sheng opened his mouth, most of the red color on Orchid's face faded away, turning it into a bit of embarrassment.
"Yes, I have said it before, we are not in that kind of relationship."
Looking at Gu Sheng, Orchid's friend frowned.
"We Orchid are so good and you are not impressed? You are still not a man!"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng frowned.
"What does it have to do with who I like and whether I am a man? I already have someone in my heart, and she is here, so I can't make such a joke."
Subconsciously, Orchid set his eyes on Hong Mei's face, pressing his lower lip tightly, with a hint of unwillingness evident in his eyes.
Hong Mei also didn't expect that Gu Sheng would say it so straightforwardly, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
Seeing that both parties were silent, Gu Sheng turned to look at Hong Mei.
"Although I haven't said it, you should know what I mean, right?"
Looking at him, Hong Mei nodded vigorously.
He wanted to use up his spiritual energy to heal her wounds, how could she not know his feelings? It's just that no one between them broke through this layer of window paper, so she endured it with all her strength.
Seeing Hong Mei nodding, Gu Sheng smiled.
"My sweetheart said she knew."
Gu Sheng As soon as Gu Sheng said these words, Orchid's friend became dark-faced.
"You have a sweetheart and you still flirt with us Orchid? You are sick! If you are sick, get treated as soon as possible. Don't play tricks here! Come on, we don't welcome people like you in our inn!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved, and a burst of divine power flew out of her hand and headed straight for Gu Sheng.
Feeling her divine power, Gu Sheng's expression changed, he raised his hand and held it tightly, dissipating it instantly.
Seeing Gu Sheng lose her spiritual energy so easily, she sneered, "So what if you are strong? There is someone in your heart who is already unclean. You are not worthy of us Orchid!"
Looking up at her, Gu Sheng also had a dark face.
"I said, Orchid and I are just ordinary friends. It was you who thought our relationship was so dirty, and then you spoke so rudely after learning the truth. Orchid is really sad to have a friend like you!"
"You fart! Orchid It's pathetic to know someone like you!"
Seeing her angry look, Gu Sheng sneered.
"We met because we have a common goal and can help each other. If you didn't say these words today to embarrass us, we can get along with each other in harmony and even become best friends. But now that you have said these words, we have distanced our relationship. If one of us really takes it seriously, how will we get along in the future?"
What Gu Sheng said was wonderful. It seemed like she was refuting Orchid's friend, but in fact she was telling Orchid that he didn't take her friend's words to heart. This was just a rift between others and did not affect their friendship.
Orchid naturally understood what Gu Sheng said, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When her friend was about to speak, she quickly stood up.
"Okay, stop talking. Things are not what you think. We have known each other not long ago. We are really just friends. Hong Mei has always been with Gu Sheng. It's okay for him to be his sweetheart. Don't embarrass everyone anymore."
Orchid After saying that, her friend opened her eyes angrily.
"You fool, we have been together for so many years, can I not understand what you are thinking? I am obviously trying to help you, but in the end you push people away, you are stupid!"
Being stabbed to the core again, Orchid felt extremely ugly.
When she didn't know that Gu Sheng liked Hong Mei at first, she wanted her friends to help tell her true feelings and let Gu Sheng know her thoughts, which might even make the relationship go further. But now that Gu Sheng has made it clear, wouldn't it make her even more embarrassed if she said that again?
"Okay! Stop talking! I have never had that kind of thought. Stop making fun of our relationship!"
Orchid was obviously angry, his face turned red with anger, and he looked completely different from before.
In order to maintain her remaining self-esteem, she raised her hand to grab the key beside her.
Seeing her move, her friend stopped her.
"He already has a sweetheart, and you still want him to live with me? Tell him to get out of here! Come back when you can clear your heart! Otherwise, I won't entertain you!"
"Don't make trouble!"
"I'm not making trouble! Everyone except you, get out of here!"
Listening to the rolling words, Gu Sheng glanced at her coldly, and then said to Orchid, "There are many inns in the south of the city. Let's just find another one. You can stay and we will see you tomorrow."
After saying that, Gu Sheng turned around and left with everyone before they could speak.
Everyone had been holding back their anger for a long time, waiting for Gu Sheng to say he was leaving. Now that they saw him leaving, they followed him without stopping.
Looking at their backs, Orchid wanted to catch up, but was held back.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. You stay here and we can talk at night."
"No, we have something to do in the evening."
Orchid remembers that Gu Sheng said he was going to Luo Qin's place in the evening, but he couldn't get rid of the hand on his wrist.
"There are so many of them, and it's not like they need you. Let them get it and let's talk."
Seeing that she refused to let go no matter what she said, Orchid could only nod helplessly and watched Gu Sheng's back disappear.
After leaving the inn, Gu Sheng led everyone around another street and finally found a magnificent inn.
Looking at the inn in front of him, Lan Yao nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, this inn looks big and beautiful, and it must be very comfortable to live in."
After he finished speaking, Shi Lou said with a smile, "The wine here should be good. I can smell the aroma of wine at the door. Although we can't drink it today, we can try it tomorrow. Mr. Lan, I'll leave it to you then."
"No problem, isn't this a trivial matter? Hong Mei, don't get angry with that kind of person. Gu Sheng has already made it clear. It's just that she can't understand people."
Knowing what he meant, Hong Mei nodded.
"I know, don't worry about me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Sheng directly held her hand.
"The reason why I haven't said some things is because I feel that we have a good understanding. You will understand if I don't say it. But today I discovered that some words are not meant for the other party, but also for outsiders. If I don't say them, they will naturally think wrong, so I said it. Do you mind?"
Looking into his eyes, Hong Mei blushed and shook his head.
"Of course I don't mind. I also feel that we are on the same page. I understand what you are thinking."
The two looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths curled up unconsciously.
"Please, can you stop being so disgusting! There are so many people watching, leave us a way to survive!"
Bai Yu rolled his eyes at the two of them while talking, causing others to echo.
Gu Sheng smiled and led everyone into the inn.
As soon as they entered the door, the waiter immediately greeted them.
"Guests, do you want to be in charge or stay in a hotel?"
After feeling the aura of the waiter and confirming that he was not the same as Luo Qin, Gu Sheng said, "Let's stay in the hotel and give me some rooms."
Upon hearing the words "Go to the room," the waiter's eyes lit up and he quickly led them upstairs.
Sure enough, as Lan Yao said, this place is really good, obviously much better than Orchid's friend.
"Gu Sheng, it seems we are on the right track, otherwise we will have to make do with it again."
Knowing why Lan Yao said that, Gu Sheng nodded.
"Remember to send a letter to Orchid tonight, and we can meet directly there."
Lan Yao also understood what he meant and agreed directly.
That night, several people went out directly after having a hearty meal at the inn.
To ensure safety, they made a long circuit before arriving outside the Qingcheng Sect.
After confirming that no one was following them, they found a secluded place to stay.
Shi Lou stuck his head out, looked around, then frowned and said, "Lan Yao why aren't you back yet?"
Looking at the horizon, Gu Sheng also frowned.
It stands to reason that the two inns are not far apart, and Lan Yao is fast, so he should have returned by now, but there is no one in the whole street, which is obviously wrong.
Seeing Gu Sheng also frowning, Shi Lou asked softly, "Brother Sheng, do you need me to go find him?"
After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng shook his head.
"If your strength is weaker than his, it's better not to act alone. Wait a little longer and see if you can wait for him."
Everyone was anxious, but they could only do as he said.
After waiting for a long time, everyone still didn't see Lan Yao.
Bai Yu stood up and said, "Just wait, I'll look for you."
This time, Gu Sheng did not refuse.
Bai Yu Pointed his toes, his body immediately rose into the air, and soon disappeared into the night sky.
In this way, everyone waited for a long time before they saw the two figures.
Seeing that only the two of them were back, Shi Lou asked in confusion, "Why are you two the only ones back? Didn't you go call Orchid? Where are she and her people?"
Hearing this, Lan Yao spat hard.
"Don't mention it. I went there and didn't even see Orchid's face. I was pestered by her friend's people and almost exposed me. I'm so unlucky!"
"What? You didn't even see anyone?"
"No! Her friends seemed to have made it easy for them. They arranged a lot of people at the door. I was surrounded as soon as I arrived. They didn't want my life, but they tried to hit the painful spot every time. I finally managed to escape. I met Bai Yu on the way."
Speaking of this, Lan Yao turned to look at Gu Sheng.
"Orchid was not found, what should I do?"
"It's okay, let's go."
Gu Sheng said this with a cold face, and everyone could only nod.
Moving forward, they found the back door of the Qingcheng Sect.
Seeing that there was no one guarding here, Gu Sheng raised his hand and dropped the barrier, then led everyone in.
All of them held their breath and pressed forward little by little against the wall. They had not gone far when Gu Sheng felt a wave of evil energy.
For a moment, he frowned.
Now he believes that Demon is no longer famous here, because he can feel it from the breath, there are indeed many people here who are stronger than Demon!
Luo Qin's ability to train these people must be indispensable to Saintly Hermit's contribution!
With a cold face, Gu Sheng touched his waist, then sighed heavily and continued to walk forward.
Everyone followed him, walking and exploring until there was a sound in front of him, and then they left together with Gu Sheng.
As soon as their footsteps landed outside the wall, the footsteps inside the wall stopped where they just left.
Obviously, the weak footsteps may have been heard by the other party, so someone came to inquire.
Fortunately, Gu Sheng was stronger and sensed the opponent's movements in advance, thus leading them to escape.
The footsteps inside were still whirling around, and Gu Sheng and the others waited quietly outside. They didn't dare to leak a breath, so they waited quietly.
After a long time, the people inside left.
Hearing the sound of footsteps moving away, Gu Sheng did not dare to act rashly. Instead, he repeatedly tested to make sure that the other party was not leaving on purpose, and then he left with his own people.
On the way back, everyone changed their usual dull mood. Even Lan Yao, who usually talked the most, fell silent.
Just like this, we returned to the inn. After Gu Sheng summoned Xiaoding and shrouded it in the sky, Hong Mei was the first to speak, "Gu Sheng, The strength of Luo Qin is far beyond our imagination. There are many people under him who are stronger than Demon, and there are definitely some methods of Saintly Hermit among them, but it will be even more difficult to deal with them."
After she finished speaking, Bai Yu sighed heavily.
"I didn't expect Qingcheng Sect of Luo Qin to be so powerful. Moreover, they are decent on the surface and supported by other masters, but secretly they are stronger than they appear on the surface. Hong Mei is right. It is too difficult to deal with them. Gu Sheng, this is just Luo Qin. What should we do!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but feel anxious.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, and everyone was sighing.
Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng pinched his eyebrows, and after a long silence, he turned to Hong Mei and asked, "Do you have Ink Fragrance there?"
"Yes, but not much. It was given to me by my master."
"Give it to me."
Although Hong Mei didn't know what he was going to do, he still took out Ink Fragrance.
When handing over, both of them were extremely cautious. After all, this thing is highly poisonous and has no cure for anything in the world. Once it touches it, it will die violently, and even the gods can't save it.
When watching the two people taking Ink Fragrance, the others couldn't help but become nervous, and even their breathing became much weaker.
