Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1729

Chapter 1729: Chapter 877: Half-Step Sect Realm (2)

She hesitated for a moment but chose to be honest, considering they were in the same boat now.

"Half-step Sect Realm."

There was a barely noticeable pride in her voice. At her age, reaching half-step Sect Realm made her an outstanding talent in the Southern Border.

Gu Sheng nodded without comment and continued.

"I proposed to take you as my disciple, not on a whim, nor is it as vulgar as you might imagine.

It’s because you... bear a striking resemblance to an old acquaintance."

"Old acquaintance?"

Qidiao Yaoyao’s curiosity was piqued, and she instinctively touched the scar on her face concealed by an Illusion Technique, speculating.

"Could it be... your old acquaintance also had a scar like mine, left by a domineering Daoist Rhythm?"

Gu Sheng shook his head, his gaze seeming to traverse through time, tinged with a hint of reminiscence.

"No.

She resembles you because... she too was a Holy Gu Spirit Body."

"What?!"

Qidiao Yaoyao’s complexion suddenly changed, her golden eyes filled with shock and disbelief! The Holy Gu Spirit Body is an exceedingly rare occurrence, and she had believed she was one of a kind, yet she didn’t expect Gu Sheng’s ’old acquaintance’ to share this constitution!

Gu Sheng withdrew his gaze, giving her a meaningful look.

"The reason will become clear to you in due time."

Qidiao Yaoyao was agitated by his mysterious behavior, unable to press for more, she murmured quietly.

"Hocus-pocus..."

Gu Sheng no longer engaged with her, focusing on their journey. In reality, he had already noticed that Qidiao Yaoyao was younger than he had imagined; she was only fifteen this year.

Though the Holy Gu Spirit Body bestowed upon her unparalleled talent in the Poisonous Insect Path, it was a double-edged sword that slowly eroded her Life Force. The genuine scar on her face and her slightly mature appearance were manifestations of the Spiritual Body’s backlash and Life Force exhaustion.

The two proceeded eastward at great speed through tunneling light but did not use any Transmission Array. During their journey, Qidiao Yaoyao tried multiple times to initiate conversation, only to be dismissed with brief responses from Gu Sheng, causing her to feel quite bored.

By the time the horizon began to brighten, approaching dawn, the two had already reached the border between East Desolation and the Southern Border. The continuous high-speed travel was no small burden for a half-step Sect Realm like Qidiao Yaoyao, and her complexion appeared slightly pale.

She finally couldn’t resist complaining, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hey! Why didn’t we use a Transmission Array? We tiredly flew here for what? With your wealth, can you not afford the transmission fees?"

Gu Sheng halted his tunneling light, hovering in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the vast mountains and forests below, his tone calm yet imbued with undeniable authority.

"I have my plans. Moreover, I hope this is the last time you question my decisions, or you might call it... stepping out of bounds."

His gaze fell calmly on Qidiao Yaoyao, yet she felt an invisible pressure.

She opened her mouth, recalling her grandfather’s advice and the hidden dangers within her, ultimately swallowing her dissatisfaction, gritting her teeth, and replying unwillingly.

"...Understood."

Seeing her relent, Gu Sheng gradually spoke.

"Because, the fish... is about to bite the hook."

"Fish? Bite the hook?"

Qidiao Yaoyao was briefly stunned, then suddenly realized, a flash of surprise crossing her golden eyes.
