The man was surprised upon hearing Gu Sheng’s words.
"You can sense the Spiritual Energy on me?"
"I can, and it’s very clear."
At this, the man’s expression toward him changed.
"I wonder which sect Brother is from to have such high capabilities. If I’m not mistaken, Brother is intentionally concealing his aura, right?"
"Indeed, before the recruitment conference begins, I don’t want to attract trouble, but I can be honest with you. I’m from Stone Village. I wonder if you’ve heard of it?"
The man’s pupils trembled at the mention of Stone Village.
"I’ve heard of it. I once stayed outside Stone Village and felt the changes brought by the ebony there. I didn’t expect you to be from Stone Village."
"I also didn’t expect you to have stayed there. I wonder what you think of Stone Village?"
After a long silence, the man asked, "What is your position in Stone Village?"
Taking out the Token, Gu Sheng solemnly said, "I am the Village Chief."
Seeing the Token, the man was evidently surprised.
"I’ve never met their Village Chief before; I didn’t expect to encounter him here."
"I wonder if Brother is interested in Stone Village?"
Hearing this question again, the man lightly pursed his lips.
After a long silence, he said softly, "Let me think about it..."
Gu Sheng did not pressure him, just nodded gently.
"My name is Gu Sheng. You know where I’m staying. If you decide, just come and find me."
"Alright, my name is Liu Ping. Even if I don’t join Stone Village in the end, we can still be friends."
Gu Sheng smiled and waved at him.
Seeing him return, Lan Yao hurriedly approached.
"Gu Sheng, how was it? Did he agree?"
"No, he said he needs to think about it more, but this person is indeed powerful, even stronger than I expected."
"So impressive? No wonder he can hide so well that even we couldn’t sense his true strength. Gu Sheng, did you find out his name?"
"He said his name is Liu Ping."
Upon hearing this name, Bai Yu was quite surprised.
"It’s him. It’s said that he’s been in Jianghu for many years, cultivating a noble spirit, and alone, he can match the combat power of a small sect. He has quite a reputation in Jianghu, but he is low-key, seldom known by people. Unexpectedly, you have unintentionally recruited such a figure. Gu Sheng, I must say, your judgment is exquisite."
Gu Sheng did not expect this person to be so renowned and grew increasingly satisfied.
At this moment, Lan Yao asked, "Gu Sheng, do you think he will ultimately join Stone Village?"
"I think it’s possible."
"Why?"
"Because he once stayed around Stone Village and felt its strength, he naturally can sense the lingering aura of the Sky Blue Sect. As long as he is wise, he won’t make another choice."
"What if he ultimately decides not to join Stone Village?"
"No matter, as long as someone of his strength doesn’t join the Qingcheng Sect, it doesn’t matter which sect he joins for us."
Upon hearing this, everyone realized.
"With what you’ve said, I feel much more relieved. It’s just a pity that I can’t act under the name of our White Cloud Sect right now, or I too would want to recruit some talents."
Seeing Bai Yu’s regretful expression, Gu Sheng smiled and patted his shoulder.
"No need for regrets, don’t you still have Luochuan by your side? He is a talent with potential. As long as you guide him well, he will surely not fall short compared to Liu Ping."
"Indeed, my disciple will surely be the best. One day, I’ll make sure he stands out!"
Regarding Luochuan, Bai Yu grew increasingly satisfied, now appearing to look at him like a beloved disciple.
"The Qingcheng Sect should be arriving soon, and by then, we should probe into their background to see if they have Death Soldiers. If they do, we should act quickly."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, everyone immediately became serious.
"Do we act here?"
