Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1542

Chapter 1542: Chapter 794: Private Duels Prohibited

"If Mr. Gu is willing to help, three Glazed Hearts will be offered."

Bai Yu’s voice was full of allure.

The private room fell silent for a moment, with only the faint sound of incense burning.

Gu Sheng was torn... Three Glazed Hearts were enough to elevate his cultivation to a new level.

But he understood the terror of that mysterious organization better than anyone.

"Where is your sister now?"

Gu Sheng finally spoke.

Bai Yu’s eyes carried a hint of delight.

"The exact location is yet uncertain, but I do have a secret treasure confirming she’s still alive."

He took out a clear jade pendant from his bosom, entwined with a strand of green thread.

"This jade pendant is linked to my sister’s life; the thread remains unbroken, indicating she’s not in immediate danger."

Gu Sheng stared at the strand of green thread, suddenly asking.

"Why did you choose me, Bai Yu?"

Bai Yu put away the jade pendant, smiling meaningfully.

"Because Mr. Gu holds a grudge against that organization, and also..."

He paused.

"Mr. Gu possesses the strength needed."

Gu Sheng nodded indifferently, taking a sip of the now cold tea.

"This matter is significant; I need time to consider."

"Naturally."

Bai Yu nodded.

"If Mr. Gu decides to accept the commission, you can contact me anytime."

He placed a Communication Jade Talisman on the table.

Just as Gu Sheng was about to leave, Bai Yu suddenly spoke.

"By the way, there is something Mr. Gu might find interesting."

"What is it?"

"My sister and I took our mother’s surname."

Bai Yu’s eyes held complexity.

"Our ancestors... were surnamed Ye."

Gu Sheng halted abruptly, his eyes filled with shock.

Ye... Ye Qinglan?

He squinted, his gaze cutting like a blade as he scrutinized the seemingly gentle man before him.

"Ye Qinglan..."

Gu Sheng slowly repeated the name, his voice low and dangerous.

"What is your relationship with her?"

Bai Yu lightly waved his folding fan, his face showing a faint smile.

"No need for tension, Mr. Gu. I merely stumbled upon that Ye Fairy once had ties with you."

He paused.

"I only wanted to point this out, with no intention of using Ye Fairy’s connections to coerce Mr. Gu."

Inside, Gu Sheng sneered.

Bai Yu’s words sounded sincere, yet they carried hidden implications.

He was clearly reminding Gu Sheng... I know all about you.

"Bai Yu’s cunning exceeds my expectations."

Gu Sheng stated directly, staring at Bai Yu intently.

Bai Yu’s smile did not fade.

"Mr. Gu overrates me. In this Great Wilderness City, without some shrewdness, how can one stand firm?"

Gu Sheng remained silent for a moment, suddenly speaking.

"I can agree to help you save your sister, in exchange for Ye Qinglan’s favor."

At this, Bai Yu appeared surprised, then shook his head.

"Mr. Gu misunderstands. Favors are favors, rewards are rewards, two separate matters."

"Oh?"

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"Then what do you want?"

"Once the matter is resolved, I’ll tell Mr. Gu."
