Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1525

Chapter 1525: Chapter 785: Finally Arrived (2)

Tantai Xueling’s ears turned red, and she stomped her foot.

"I’m just afraid there will be no one to spar with me if you die!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran to her room, her skirt lifting to reveal a glimpse of her fair calf.

Gu Sheng shook his head with a smile and watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor before he turned and headed towards the fifth floor of the Linyin Pavilion.

As he stepped onto the stairs leading to the fifth floor, Gu Sheng clearly felt that the fluctuation of spiritual energy around him had changed.

Each step seemed to be imbued with some kind of array, giving a strange and solid sensation underfoot.

When he crossed the last step, he suddenly felt two invisible strands of spiritual power envelop him like a web, locking onto him completely.

"Who goes there?"

A hoarse voice called out from the shadows.

Gu Sheng’s pupils contracted slightly.

Despite his perception, he hadn’t detected anyone on this floor! He steadied his nerves and spoke in a deep voice.

"Gu Sheng, bearer of a Linyin Pavilion Guest Minister Token."

Two figures emerged from the darkness.

On the left was a hunched old man with a face full of wrinkles but eyes that shone with an intimidating brightness; on the right was a burly middle-aged man with a hideous scar stretching from his forehead to his chin.

Upon seeing Gu Sheng, both men bowed in greeting simultaneously.

"Ah, it’s Young Master Gu."

Gu Sheng was even more surprised in his heart.

The auras of these two were as deep as an abyss, definitely experts above the Golden Core Stage! He calmly took out his token and handed it over.

"I need your help with two matters."

The old man took the token and gently brushed it with his fingers, making it glow faintly.

"Please speak, Young Master Gu."

"The first matter is about Xie Qingxuan of the Xie family in Huang City."

Gu Sheng spoke calmly.

"She is being forced into a marriage alliance, and I need to know all the information about the alliance partner."

The scarred man’s brows rose.

"The Xie family? Is that the small family renowned for their alchemy?"

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Exactly."

"The second matter."

Gu Sheng took out a pitch-black scythe from his storage bag, the blade still stained with dark red blood.

"This is a weapon used by an evil cultivator I killed outside the city yesterday. I suspect there’s an organization behind him, and I need you to find out his background."

The old man took the scythe, his withered fingers lightly stroking the blade, a spark in his eyes.

"Such a heavy resentment... This weapon has drunk the blood of at least a hundred people."

"If there is indeed an organization behind this,"

Gu Sheng added.

"Do not launch a direct assault. Deliver the information to the Great Wilderness Holy Academy for handling."

The scarred man grinned, his scar contorting with the smile.

"Young Master Gu is indeed cautious. True, when dealing with evil cultivators, those old fellows at the Holy Academy are more adept."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, turned to leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"How quickly can you have information on Xie Qingxuan?"

"Within two hours."

The old man replied.

"Send it to the Linyin Pavilion in Huang City."

After speaking, Gu Sheng strode away.

Not until Gu Sheng’s figure vanished at the staircase did the scarred man rub his chin and comment.

"This lad is quite something, actually sensing our presence."

The old man squinted his eyes.

"The aura around him... is interesting."

As Gu Sheng reached the first-floor hall, he saw Tantai Xueling leaning against the pillar by the stairway, waiting for him.

She had changed into a black strapless gown, making her skin seem as white as snow. Her damp long hair draped over her shoulders, with water droplets still streaking from the ends, clearly having just bathed.

"Why are you..."

For a moment, Gu Sheng was at a loss for words.

Tantai Xueling tilted her head, her eyes filled with a mischievous smile.

"What, don’t recognize me?"

She gave a light spin, her skirt blooming like a black lotus.

"Does it look good?"

Gu Sheng cleared his throat.

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course, I’m going to Huang City with you!"

Tantai Xueling hopped over to his side, a faint scent of jasmine wafting from her.

"I’m personally escorting you, aren’t you touched?"

Gu Sheng looked at her helplessly.

"It’s too dangerous."

"Hmph!"

Tantai Xueling puffed out her cheeks.

"I’m the young lady of Linyin Pavilion; you may not necessarily be better than me when it comes to intelligence and escaping skills!"
