Seeing him like this, Hong Mei raised her fist behind him, but just waved it a few times, and then followed him carrying the box after venting her anger.
In Gu Sheng’s courtyard, Hong Mei approached again.
"Can you tell me now? What did you all talk about?"
"Not much, the Sect Leader gave me some things to prove my identity and some information about Saint Ya. In a couple of days, we’re heading to East Mountain."
"To East Mountain? What about me? Am I going too?"
Looking at her, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"Do you want to come along?"
"Of course I do! I dream of avenging my master!"
Seeing the anger rising in her eyes, Gu Sheng nodded.
"Then let’s go together. From now on, we’ll fight side by side, but the Sect Leader said that even though you’re the leader of Mirror Gate, you’ll have to listen to my arrangements."
After he finished speaking, Hong Mei frowned.
"Why should I? Why should I listen to you?"
Opening the box, Gu Sheng took out the Token inside.
"Because of this."
One sentence, and Hong Mei was instantly deflated.
Watching her, Gu Sheng suddenly chuckled.
"I’ve noticed that since you returned to Wushuang Taoist, you seem different from before."
"Different? In what way?"
"When you led Mirror Gate alone before, you always seemed cold and distant. Since returning to Wushuang Taoist, it seems you’ve gained some Spiritual Energy, and the whole person feels like they’ve come alive again. It seems..."
"Seems what?"
"Seems like you look even better than before."
As soon as Gu Sheng said that, Hong Mei’s face turned red.
"Do you even need to say it? Of course, it’s true! But honestly, I’m a bit jealous of you."
"Jealous that I’ve become an envoy?"
"Yes, quite jealous, but I know that if Master trusted you with this important role, it means you have the ability. Throughout the journey to Yunhai, I’ve realized that you indeed have some skills. But don’t get too proud, just being an envoy. As Master’s first disciple, my status might not be lower than yours. We’re equals, and don’t think you can overshadow me with your status, or I’ll report to Master!"
Hong Mei raised her fist again, but it only made Gu Sheng laugh even more.
He found that since returning to Wushuang Taoist, Hong Mei seemed to have become a bit cuter, and quite pleasant to the eye.
"Pack up, and we’ll leave once Shi Lou and the others complete their training."
"So soon? What about Master..."
"Wushuang Taoist has her own arrangements, no need to worry. We just need to handle these matters well so that Wushuang Taoist has no worries."
Thinking about it carefully, Hong Mei found he was right, so she nodded.
"Alright, I’ll pack up now. Let me know when we leave, so I can spend more time with Master before we head out."
After Gu Sheng nodded, Hong Mei finally left.
In the coming days, Gu Sheng explored every part of Yunhai.
After familiarizing himself with every place in Yunhai, he frequently visited Wushuang Taoist.
The herbs Wushuang Taoist had planted were already harvested, and Gu Sheng was busy every day concocting herbal medicines. He wrote countless formulas, but none were very effective in helping Wushuang Taoist recover.
Seeing the herbal supply dwindling by half, Gu Sheng started to worry.
Seeing him like this, Hong Mei proactively offered him a cup of tea.
"Gu Sheng, don’t be too distressed. According to my master, these herbs have gone through several rounds of trials, and she has researched over a hundred formulas without curing the poison in her body. This shows how severe the poison is, so it’s understandable if your formulas aren’t effective."
Hearing Hong Mei’s words, Gu Sheng sighed softly.
"I didn’t expect Saint Ya to be so ruthless. This poison is clearly intended to torment someone to death. If it weren’t for Wushuang Taoist’s strong Inner Strength, she might have been reduced to a wreck by now."
Talking about it, Hong Mei gritted her teeth in hatred.
"That Saint Ya, I will kill her someday to avenge my master!"
"Don’t rush. After we reach East Mountain, we’ll gradually bring her down. But right now, the most important thing is to assist Wushuang Taoist in researching a formula to counteract the poison."
