Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1675

Chapter 1675: Chapter 850: In Broad Daylight, Why Block Our Path? (Part 2)

Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a cold arc, a smile that inexplicably sent a chill through Situ Qingfeng.

"What I need is the identity cover they ’provide’. Whether they are ’willing’ to cooperate is not important."

Gu Sheng’s tone carried with it an absolute confidence and undeniable authority.

"Sometimes, hatred and fear make people ’cooperate’ more than friendship and interests do."

Situ Qingfeng shivered involuntarily at these words, looking at Gu Sheng’s seemingly unremarkable profile, a sense of awe rising in his heart.

He felt fortunate once again to be Gu Sheng’s friend rather than his enemy.

...

As they spoke, the two walked through several main roads and arrived at a large and magnificently decorated Martial Artist Market.

This market covered a vast area, with buildings and pavilions everywhere, people coming and going incessantly, most of them with substantial auras, making it a unique presence in Xiaguang City.

The two walked straight into the market, ignoring the stalls selling various elixir pills, weapons, and materials, and directly approached a shop elegantly named "Purple Mist Residence".

As they arrived at the doorstep, a clever shop assistant welcomed them with a professional smile, his eyes scanning over the distinguished Situ Qingfeng and the seemingly servile Gu Sheng, finally fixing on Situ Qingfeng.

"Welcome, dear guests! May I know what you need? Our shop offers a full range of elixir pills, weapons, and materials at fair prices..."

Situ Qingfeng didn’t respond, only casting his glance at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng stepped forward, directly interrupting the assistant, his voice calm yet with an unquestionable aura.

"Prepare an excellent Quiet Room for us.

Then, ask Yue Xia to come see me and say an old friend has come to visit."

The assistant was momentarily taken aback by the aura suddenly emanating from Gu Sheng, subconsciously retreating half a step.

He looked Gu Sheng over carefully, despite the mundane attire, that gaze and demeanor were definitely not those of a common servant.

He cautiously asked.

"Sir... the Yue Xia you mentioned, could it be the Elder Yue Xia from the Southern Prince Mansion in Xiaguang City?"

"Indeed."

Gu Sheng confirmed.

The assistant showed a look of difficulty on his face.

"Well... Elder Yue Xia has a noble status and is usually busy with affairs. It might not be easy for a humble person like me to invite her easily. If you wish to meet Elder Yue Xia, you might need to report to the shopkeeper first, and then he will relay the message, waiting for the Elder to arrange a time... May I know your name or... if you have any token as a credential?"

Gu Sheng seemed prepared for this. He reached into his robe and took out a palm-sized, entirely white jade plaque engraved with a fine cloud pattern, with an ancient "Nan" character in the center, and handed it over.

"Give this to her and tell her that someone from Mu Xue has arrived."

Gu Sheng said.

The assistant took the jade plaque, feeling its warm and fine texture, knowing immediately it was no ordinary item. Especially when his eyes landed on the "Nan" character and he heard the words "Mu Xue," his expression changed dramatically, his eyes filling with reverence and tension!

He held the jade plaque with both hands, his attitude becoming exceedingly respectful, even with a hint of fear.

"Oh... oh, it turns out to be an esteemed guest! My eyes are too dull. I ask for forgiveness for any negligence! Please! Please follow me to the top-tier heavenly suite upstairs to rest. I will immediately pass on your message and ensure Elder Yue Xia gets it swiftly!"

With that, he quickly summoned another assistant, whispered a few words to him, and had him respectfully guide Gu Sheng and Situ Qingfeng upstairs to the most luxurious and quiet heavenly suite, while he himself clutched the jade plaque tightly and dashed out of the shop, evidently to relay the urgent message.
