Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1466

Chapter 1466: Chapter 756: Different Paths

A figure suddenly appeared in the center of the hall, the Purple Gold Python Robe moving without wind, surrounded by a dragon-shaped Qi Force that seemed both present and absent.

Southern Prince Nangong Tiance stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over everyone like lightning, and no one dared to meet his eyes.

Gu Sheng slightly cupped his hands in respect.

"Congratulations to the Prince on breaking through restrictions and entering a new realm."

"Congratulations to the Prince!"

Only then did everyone awaken from their daze, collectively offering their blessings, the sound so loud it made the pillars of the hall hum.

Southern Prince raised his hand in a gesture of support.

"Please rise, everyone."

His gaze lingered momentarily on Gu Sheng.

"Gu, may I have a word with you?"

Gu Sheng’s lips curled slightly.

"It would be an honor."

The two left the hall, one after the other, passed through the corridor, and arrived at the secluded small courtyard.

The old plum tree in the courtyard remained unchanged, except for a few fallen leaves on the stone table beneath.

Southern Prince flicked his sleeve, and the fallen leaves rose without wind, drifting aside.

He looked directly into Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"Who are you, really?"

Gu Sheng calmly sat on the stone stool, tapping the tabletop lightly with his finger.

"Why does the Prince ask this? I am merely an ordinary young man traveling the world."

"An ordinary young man?"

Southern Prince chuckled lightly, a spark flashing in his eyes.

"An ordinary young man who can instantly see through the flaws in my Cultivation Technique and effortlessly guide me past a bottleneck of hundreds of years?"

Gu Sheng responded with a smile but said nothing, instead taking a celadon teapot from his sleeve and leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea.

The aroma of the tea filled the air between them.

Seeing this, Southern Prince frowned slightly but soon relaxed.

"Very well. Since you aren’t willing to say more, I won’t force you. My previous promise stands, the Prince Mansion will arrange for your safe escort out of the city."

"Thank you, Prince."

Gu Sheng raised his cup in acknowledgment.

"However..."

Southern Prince shifted his tone.

"You have done me a great favor, and if the Prince Mansion only repays with such trivial deeds, it would be open to criticism. Is there anything you need? I will do my best to satisfy it."

Gu Sheng put down his teacup, his gaze clear.

"You’re too kind, Prince. I was merely in the right place at the right time; it was just a small gesture for me."

Southern Prince pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"I have a daughter named Yingying, aged sixteen, naturally gifted. If you don’t mind..."

"Prince!"

Gu Sheng interrupted, his smile unchanged.

"I already have someone special in mind, I’m afraid I can’t accept your generous offer."

The courtyard fell silent, with only the rustling sound of the wind through the plum branches.

Southern Prince looked surprised, then laughed.

"No need to rush, I am not forcing the issue. It’s just that you have exceptional talent, and if you were to form a family bond with the Prince Mansion, in the future..."
