Chapter 527 Lame Excuse
Lan Yao was ecstatic about Gu Sheng's invitation.
The two parties sat opposite each other and drank happily.
While drunk, Lan Yao looked at Gu Sheng with drunken eyes.
"Gu Sheng, you and I have fulfilled our promise twice. Next time we meet, can you agree to my request and be friends with me?"
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng smiled.
"You appeared here this time, are you going to Stone Village to look for me?"
"Well, they said you were dead, but I didn't believe it."
"Why don't you believe it?"
"Firstly, I don't believe them, and secondly, you are not that fragile in my eyes. You are so resourceful, how could you die at the hands of those people?"
"Do you think they did it?"
"Who else besides them? It must be the idea of the leader of the Black Evil Sect. Gu Sheng, if you want to kill him, I will help you."
Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Gu Sheng raised his lips.
"No, I will avenge this myself."
After finishing speaking, Gu Sheng raised his hand, and a spiritual energy rose up, surrounding them all, blocking everything from the outside world.
"Lan Yao, if I said I got the spirit bead, how would you feel?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao's eyes lit up.
"Gu Sheng, have you really got the spirit bead? Great! Once you get the spirit bead, you can increase your spiritual energy for hundreds of years. By then, won't it be easy for you to kill the master of the Black Evil Sect?!"
"No, in addition to the master of the Black Evil Sect, there is also the master of the Zixia Peak. The two of them are colluding. Anyone left behind will be a disaster and must die."
Hearing that he was always thinking about himself, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Aren't you curious how I got the spirit beads?"
"There's nothing to be curious about. There are only two ways to get the spirit beads. One is strength, and the other is fate. If you can get it, you naturally have one of them."
"You came here for the spirit beads this time. I got them. Are you feeling unbalanced?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao smiled and shook his head.
"If someone else gets it, I might be jealous, but if you get it, it's not too late for me to be happy, because I'm not here for the spirit beads, I'm here for the roots of the centuries-old tree. That’s the most important thing for us elves.”
After Lan Yao explained, Gu Sheng finally knew the intention of the elves.
But he was still surprised that the blue demon wasn't jealous at all when he got the spirit bead.
After all, in his eyes, they were not friends yet. He didn't expect that Blue Demon's friendship was so important.
Gu Sheng dissipated his spiritual energy, and the two stopped talking about this topic.
Shilou and others drank a lot of wine and were extremely drunk at this time.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng stood up and said goodbye to Lan Yao.
"They are drunk. I will take them back to rest first. We will meet again if we are destined."
The blue demon sighed, but nodded.
"Okay, see you later."
After Gu Sheng led everyone back to the room, he flicked his fingertips, and a stream of spiritual energy flew everywhere, directly into everyone's eyebrows.
Soon, the smell of alcohol on everyone's bodies completely dissipated.
Looking at them, the curvature of the corners of Gu Sheng's mouth continued to widen.
"This time I went to Nanshan, I not only got the Lingzhu, but also the treasure under the Lingzhu."
As soon as these words came out, Shilou, Ergou and others' eyes lit up.
"Brother Sheng, are you kidding us?"
Gu Sheng smiled and directly placed the treasure divided into equal parts in front of them.
"Do you think I'm kidding you?"
Looking at the treasure, Shilou drooled and shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, how could Brother Sheng tease us with such a thing? Brother Sheng, are all these in front of me mine?"
"Yes, each person has one share, and each share is equal. Everyone can look at each other, and if you are dissatisfied, just tell us, and we can redistribute it."
After he finished speaking, everyone shook their heads. No one was dissatisfied with his allocation. Everyone looked at their own share with bright eyes, extremely happy.
Seeing their money-obsessed looks, Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing.
"Everyone, please collect your treasures and try not to leak money when you go out, so as not to cause any problems."
"Brother Sheng, can we use these treasures at our own disposal?"
After Ergou finished asking, Gu Sheng pinched his eyebrows helplessly.
"This is yours, of course you can use it as you wish."
"What about yours? Why haven't I seen yours?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Sheng's face.
"I don't have it. I have already taken the spirit bead. I can no longer share the treasure with you."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, everyone frowned.
Huangshan stood up and said: "Brother Sheng, you got the treasure, you should have your share. You have helped us so much and saved our lives many times. We cannot take advantage of you."
After saying that, he directly divided part of his treasure.
Seeing his actions, Shilou and others wanted to do the same.
Gu Sheng's fingertips moved, and his spiritual power blocked their movements.
"I took the spirit beads and have already taken up most of these treasures. I can't divide these things any more."
"Brother Sheng, you are wrong to think that way. We have already agreed that the Lingzhu only belongs to you, and we still have to share the rest equally."
After Huang Shan finished speaking, everyone nodded.
Gu Sheng sighed and said: "I never thought about this treasure from the beginning. I relied on your help to get the Lingzhu. When I help you, you are also helping me. The exclusive possession of the Lingzhu has made me feel guilty. I'm ashamed, how can I take advantage of you? These things belong to you, just keep them. If you give them to me, it will only add psychological burden to me. Don't make me feel uncomfortable. "
"Brother Sheng..."
"Don't say too much. If you want to share everything equally, I will take out the spirit pearl and share the spiritual power on it."
When Gu Sheng said this, everyone fell silent.
Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng smiled.
"Okay, we are all brothers. No one cares so much. Hurry up and pack up your things and rest early. We will return to Shitou Village tomorrow."
The few people couldn't argue with Gu Sheng, so they could only do what he said.
The next morning, several people got up early.
Before the sun rose, they left the inn.
When they left the city and came to the wilderness, Gu Sheng suddenly stopped.
"It's almost noon, the sun is a bit scorching, let's take a rest."
Hearing this, everyone felt a little strange.
Now the sun has just risen for a short time, and there is still some time before noon. Gu Sheng actually took the initiative to ask for a rest, which is really a bit strange.
Because they had been running for so long, Gu Sheng never cared whether the sun was scorching or not. As long as he wanted to hurry, nothing could stop him. They were also used to being fearless with him, but he suddenly asked for a rest with such a lame excuse, and everyone was both surprised and puzzled.
Several people looked at each other and sat down silently.
Gu Sheng leaned against the tree and closed his eyes to take a nap as soon as he sat down, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.
As time passed, Er Gou couldn't sit still anymore, so he came up to him and poked his arm.
"Brother Sheng, do we still need to rest?"
"Yes."
"Didn't we say we were going back to Shitou Village today? Why did we suddenly take a rest, Brother Sheng, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
After Er Gou asked, everyone looked over at the same time.
Gu Sheng felt something and turned his head to the side.
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, it's just that the sun is too scorching, so I'm just taking a break for a while."
Hearing him use this sentence as an excuse again, Er Gou became more and more confused.
"Brother Sheng, what happened to you? Why don't you tell me? I'm a little worried about you like this."
Gu Sheng didn't speak, and Ergou kept asking.
The longer he was silent, the longer he kept asking.
When everyone was at a loss for words, Lan Yao's surprised voice suddenly came from a distance: "Gu Sheng, you are here!"
Only after hearing his voice did Gu Sheng open his eyes.
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
The original text is available at Liu # 9 x-on:shu/bar!
Hearing this coincidence, Ergou and others were all confused.
They finally knew why Gu Sheng stayed here with such a lame excuse, it turned out to be to create an opportunity to meet.
After understanding it in their hearts, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the elves.
"Lan Yao, why are you here? Aren't you going back to the elves?"
After Shi Lou asked, Lan Yao shook the things in his hand.
"Gu Sheng's things were left behind when we were drinking last night. I was going to return to the elves, but I think I should send them to him. I don't know what this thing is. What if it's very important?"
Looking at the thing in his hand, everyone found that it was just an insignificant box. It was originally used to hold the red flower. Now that the red flower is gone, the box is idle.
As for why this box appeared on the table, everyone in Shitou Village knew it well.
Three times of appointment, Lan Yao tried twice, and Gu Sheng naturally had to take a step forward.
"Since we met here, I'll give it back to you."
Looking at the box in Lan Yao's hand, Gu Sheng didn't reach out.
"Haven't you always been curious about what the house made of dark wood looks like? Do you want to go to Shitou Village with me?"
Hearing this, Lan Yao's eyes lit up.
"Gu Sheng, what do you mean..."
"Three times of appointment, this is the third time. If your mind hasn't changed, let's be friends."
Finally waiting for this, Lan Yao nodded excitedly.
"Okay, you can't regret it."
"Are you going or not?"
"Yes, of course! Let's go!"
Gu Sheng smiled and led everyone to Shitou Village.
On the way, he asked curiously: "What was the reaction of the people in Nanshan who didn't find the spirit pearl?"
"Of course they suspected that someone had taken it away."
"Did they suspect me?"
"Yes, but the people from the Black Evil Sect and Zixia Peak helped you clear the suspicion. They said you were dead, so the matter should have ended without any result. Everyone might think that the appearance of the spirit pearl was a rumor."
At this point, Lan Yao paused.
"Gu Sheng, if one day they find out that you are not dead, will they cause trouble to you?"
"There is a hundred years of spiritual power in the spirit pearl. Once it is absorbed by me, who do you think can be my opponent? Even if they know the truth, they will cover their mouths."
After thinking about it carefully, Lan Yao felt that what he said made sense. As long as Gu Sheng was strong enough, those people would keep their mouths shut.
The two smiled at each other and did not mention this topic again.
In the evening of the next day, everyone finally arrived at Shitou Village.
Seeing a group of people approaching, the people in the Stone Village immediately went home, because for them, home is the best shield.
Even if someone came with murderous intentions, they could not break the formation of the dark wood, nor could they kill them.
When everyone hid in the house to check, Shilou jumped to a high place.
"Fathers and villagers, don't hide in the house to peek, we are back!"
He shouted, and every household immediately opened the door.
"Gu Sheng, you are back!"
Looking at everyone, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.
"I'm back, the one next to me is the blue demon of the elf tribe, and the people next to him are his subordinates, who are visiting our Stone Village."
Knowing that these strangers were guests from the elves, everyone in Stone Village was extremely enthusiastic.
The third elder looked at Gu Sheng and asked with concern: "Gu Sheng, is anyone among you injured?"
"No, on the contrary, Shilou and Ergou's cultivation has increased dramatically. They are about to break through now. It is not safe outside, so they have suppressed them until now."
Knowing that the two were about to break through, the third elder was extremely happy.
"Great, the cultivation level of these two skinny monkeys is finally going to reach another level. I thought this step would have to wait for another two years, but I didn't expect that they would reach this level in just a short time after being with you. Gu Sheng , you are really their great benefactor!”
"The third elder is serious. This is also the result of their own efforts. Let them enter the training room from tomorrow on."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
The third elder called a few people, whispered a few words, and those people left in a hurry.
At this time, someone poked his head from behind the third elder and asked curiously: "Gu Sheng, have you seen the spirit beads?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng turned his wrist and held the spirit bead directly in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the spirit bead with their own eyes. They stared at the spirit bead with pairs of eyes, so rare that they didn't even blink.
Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng couldn't laugh or cry.
After a long time, he put away the spirit beads, then took out some purple spirit grass and handed them to the third elder.
"Third Elder, this is what we got in Nanshan. Keep it. If anyone needs it in the future, feel free to use it."
Holding the purple spirit grass, the third elder was extremely grateful.
"Gu Sheng, on behalf of everyone in Stone Village, thank you."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was a little dissatisfied.
"Third Elder, what you said is out of context. Could it be that you didn't regard me as a member of Stone Village?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, the third elder patted him on the mouth.
"Gu Sheng, you will always be from our Stone Village, and we will rely on you to survive from now on."
"That's not a big deal, you're exaggerating."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shilou and Ergou stepped forward, each took out a treasure and handed it to the third elder.
"Third Elder, this is what Brother Sheng gave to us. You can take it and use it to maintain the daily expenses of Stone Village."
Huangshan understood and turned to look at the others. Everyone took out something and handed it to the third elder.
The third elder was so happy that he couldn't help but accept the things after being polite.
"Okay, okay, I accept all your wishes. There are guests here today. You take the guests to have a rest first. We will go get ready and welcome the guests in the evening."
Gu Sheng nodded and took Lan Yao back to his yard.
Lan Yao looked at Gu Sheng's yard curiously, and finally focused on a corner of the yard.
He squatted in front of a plant and examined it carefully for a long time, and then his eyes lit up. (End of chapter)
