"Speaking of which, my son is already sixteen this year and his cultivation has barely reached the Seventh Level of the Spirit Martial Realm..."
Gu Sheng immediately understood his intent.
"Guardian Envoy Chen wants your son to train with the Emperor Sect?"
"Exactly!"
Chen Zhongting hurriedly clasped his hands in respect.
"If Young Master Gu could make a recommendation..."
"After tomorrow, I’m afraid it won’t be convenient for me to intervene."
Gu Sheng interrupted him, his voice low.
"I will publicly detach myself from the Emperor Sect."
Chen Zhongting’s expression slightly changed, then quickly returned to a smile.
"No matter, no matter. Young people always need to step away from their wings to train. Even if Young Master Gu is not in the Emperor Sect, getting in is his fortune."
Gu Sheng’s gaze turned towards Xiao Yun, who had been silently standing by.
"Manager Xiao, if the Guardian Mansion requires cooperation in the future, please give it appropriate consideration."
Xiao Yun bowed respectfully.
"Rest assured, Young Master Gu, I understand."
"By the way."
Gu Sheng suddenly remembered something and looked at Chen Zhongting.
"Three Guardian Envoys have died in Great Wilderness City, leaving vacancies in three city positions..."
Chen Zhongting was astonished.
"Young Master Gu, are you saying?"
"At least one of the positions must be filled by our people."
Gu Sheng’s tone was calm but carried an undeniable sense of command.
Chen Zhongting immediately clasped his hands, speaking in a hushed tone.
"I will not fail the task!"
Gu Sheng nodded and turned to leave.
Early the next morning, Gu Sheng awoke from meditation, his Spiritual Power slowly retracting.
He opened his eyes, stars seemed to flow within them.
"Come."
He called softly.
A moment later, a guard stood respectfully outside the door.
"What orders does the Young Master have?"
"Let Bai Lingtong in."
Soon, Bai Lingtong hurried into the courtyard.
"Young Master, I’ve found some clues about what you asked me to investigate."
Bai Lingtong lowered his voice.
"Shen Qingyun indeed gained quite a bit in the Secret Realm, but he used almost all he obtained for Limb Regeneration."
Gu Sheng tapped the table softly with his fingers.
"Get to the point."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Bai Lingtong nodded quickly.
"His journey this time was aimed at the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Jade Spirit Pool outside Xuan City. It’s said that the Spirit Pool is about to mature, and he wants to seize the Spiritual Liquid to break through his realm."
Gu Sheng’s eyes grew cold.
"Source of information?"
"Purchased with a large sum from Shen Qingyun’s former confidant."
Bai Lingtong rubbed his hands together.
"That person was expelled from the Shen family for failing tasks and holds a grudge, so it’s unlikely to be fabricated. But authenticity still requires further verification."
"Nicely done."
Gu Sheng rarely gave a compliment.
Bai Lingtong’s face immediately filled with smiles.
"Working for the Young Master is an honor for a humble one like me."
"How are things with the Great Wilderness Alliance and the Sun and Moon Sect?"
