"Fairy Bi Luo, I’m at your service anytime." Gu Sheng replied with a smile, the sparks flying between their gaze.
Lin Qingyu and Lin Miaomiao also came over, each holding a glass of fine wine: "Gu Sheng, we toast to you for the contributions you’ve made to the Human Clan."
No one knew what they had been through, but they had become sworn sisters.
"You two are too polite." Gu Sheng took the wine glass and drank it all.
Logically, Lin Miaomiao was his senior sister, but Lin Qingyu was an outsider younger than her, so they were collectively called younger sisters to not make them elders.
Mo Buwen teased from the side: "Junior Brother Gu, you are quite the hero now, you’ve got to look out for us old friends in the future."
"Of course." Gu Sheng laughed heartily.
The scene at the gathering was grand and lively, with a magical aura permeating the air. The chatter and exchanges of people were endless, exuding a strong sense of friendship.
At that moment, Ji Yewei came gracefully, wearing a pink long dress, as delicate and beautiful as a blooming peach blossom. She linked her arm with Gu Sheng’s and smiled charmingly: "Big Brother Gu Sheng, shall I toast everyone with you?"
Gu Sheng nodded, and the two raised their glasses to the crowd. Linghu Qingwan, watching from a distance, said teasingly: "Oh my, it seems our hero Gu already has a confidante. Little Sister Ji, you’re really making the most of your close proximity!"
"Sister Linghu, please don’t make fun of me." Ji Yewei shyly lowered her head, a blush rising on her cheeks.
"Oh dear, it seems our Mrs. Gu is feeling shy." Mo Buwen chimed in.
The teasing from everyone made Ji Yewei even more bashful. She felt as though her cheeks were burning like fire. She sneaked a glance at Gu Sheng, only to find him smiling at her with tenderness in his eyes. In that moment, an inexplicable sense of happiness welled up in her heart, as if the whole world had become more beautiful.
"Don’t tease her anymore." Gu Sheng stepped in to mediate, "Yewei is just a friend, don’t misunderstand."
"Oh, look at our hero Gu, already being protective!" Linghu Qingwan joked.
Amidst laughter and merriment, the gathering continued. The atmosphere within the hall grew increasingly jubilant, with laughter and conversation resounding. This grand gathering was not only a celebration of heroes but also an ode to friendship and unity. It would forever be remembered in everyone’s hearts as a beautiful memory.
As night fell, the gathering gradually drew to a close. Gu Sheng stood at the entrance of the hall, watching as the people slowly departed, feeling deeply moved. The war had cost them greatly, but it also made them cherish their friendship and unity even more.
"What are you thinking about, Big Brother Gu Sheng?" Ji Yewei’s voice broke Gu Sheng’s thoughts.
"Gu Sheng, you’ve arrived!" Su Xian smiled and said as she approached Gu Sheng.
"Su Xian, this Holy City of Fire Domain truly amazes." Gu Sheng marveled.
"Ha ha, as long as you like it. We’ve prepared a grand banquet to welcome you." Su Xian stated.
At the banquet, the enchanting singing and dancing performances dazzled the eye, and the exquisite wines and food were abundant. Gu Sheng and Su Xian sat at the main seat, raising their glasses with everyone in celebration.
"Gu Sheng, your achievements this time are truly admirable." Su Xian toasted Gu Sheng.
"Not at all, it wouldn’t be possible without your support and help," Gu Sheng modestly responded.
After the celebration, the two retreated to the rear garden for a drink. Moonlight sprinkled over the garden, draping a silver glow over their figures.
"Gu Sheng, I really missed you these days when you weren’t here," Su Xian softly said.
"I did too, thinking of you every moment," Gu Sheng said, looking at Su Xian with deep affection.
