Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1142 595: Gu Sheng Awakens

For two whole days, they stayed by Gu Sheng's side, and no one was willing to leave.

That evening, Sect Leader Bai suddenly arrived with a serious expression.

Seeing his troubled face, Bai Yu frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Have we run out of the White Cloud Sect's resources?"

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Bai wore a helpless expression.

"Our White Cloud Sect's resources are inexhaustible; how could Gu Sheng alone use them up? It's because our people sensed King Luo's presence."

"What? That old scoundrel came personally?"

"Not necessarily, his son carries his presence as well."

As soon as Sect Leader Bai said this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Luochuan.

Understanding their meaning, Luochuan asked, "Sect Leader Bai, where are they?"

"We're not sure. We sensed a presence passing by, but it was erratic and fleeting. We suspect they came, but we can't be certain."

"Can you take me to where the presence was felt?"

Sect Leader Bai was slightly surprised by his words.

"You want to go? With your abilities..."

Before he could finish, Bai Yu interrupted, "Dad, his name is Luochuan."

Upon learning his surname was Luo, Sect Leader Bai immediately fell silent, and his gaze showed a hint of caution.

Seeing his father like this, Bai Yu sighed helplessly.

"It's true that Luochuan is King Luo's son, but he is also my disciple, and he will never betray me in his life."

Sect Leader Bai pursed his lips but said nothing.

At this moment, Luochuan stood up and rolled up his sleeve to reveal it before him.

"Sect Leader Bai, my teacher is right, I will never betray him in my life."

Seeing the White Cloud Sect emblem on Luochuan's arm, Sect Leader Bai couldn't hide his surprise.

"You're King Luo's son and you joined the White Cloud Sect?"

"Yes, I not only renounced him, but I also want to kill him."

Seeing the immense hatred in his eyes, Sect Leader Bai was stunned.

"Why is that?"

After Luochuan vented his grievances of many years, Sect Leader Bai clenched his fist tightly.

"I never expected him to be such a parent; he's utterly unworthy of being one! If you want to kill him, I'll help you!"

"Thank you, Sect Leader Bai. Please have your people take me to where the presence was felt; I can clearly distinguish each of their presences."

"Alright, I'll send more people to accompany you."

"No need, the fewer people, the better. They can't sense my presence, and having more of your people would only draw their attention."

"They can't sense your presence?"

"Yes, having lived under their various gazes for years, I'm used to hiding my presence and know how to minimize my existence in front of them, so the fewer people, the better."

Understanding his meaning, Sect Leader Bai directly pointed to Bai Yu.

"No need for others, aren't you his teacher? You accompany him. Take Gu Sheng and weapons made of Xuan Iron, and see if they brought any Death Soldiers."

"Okay, we'll go now."

The two took a sword and a saber and headed out the door.

After they left, Sect Leader Bai's gaze fell on Gu Sheng's face.

Seeing him still deep in sleep, he sighed lightly.

"Gu Sheng, our White Cloud Sect owes you."

Upon hearing this, Hong Mei quickly said, "Sect Leader Bai, this has nothing to do with the White Cloud Sect; it's because Gu Sheng was too determined that he ended up like this."

"You don't need to explain; I am well aware of his kindness."

Saying this, he placed his hand on Gu Sheng's pulse and felt it carefully.

After feeling it, his eyes brightened a bit.

Seeing this, Lan Yao eagerly stepped forward.

"Mr. Bai, how is Gu Sheng? Hong Mei's disruptions of the Array these past few days made it hard to sense anything."

"Gu Sheng's strength has almost fully recovered, and it seems to have even improved subtly. He might wake tonight or tomorrow."

As soon as he said this, everyone was overwhelmed with excitement.

"Mr. Bai, is what you said true?"

"Of course, would I lie to you kids about Gu Sheng?"

"Will he need further rest after he wakes up?"

"No need, Gu Sheng's strength speaks for itself, trust him."

Knowing that Gu Sheng is almost recovered and may wake in the next day or two, everyone's eyes uncontrollably reddened, turning their backs to quietly wipe their eyes.

Seeing them like this, Sect Leader Bai cleared his throat.

"Um... you all rest first; I'll be going back."

After he left, Hong Mei returned to Gu Sheng's bedside and lifted his hand to her face.

"Gu Sheng, please wake up soon. It seems King Luo's people have come, and we can't do without you."

As she said this, Gu Sheng's fingers twitched slightly.

Noticing this, Hong Mei was so happy that tears streamed down her face.

"Gu Sheng, you can hear me, right? Don't rush, make sure your strength is fully restored."

Gu Sheng's fingers moved again, and Hong Mei buried her face in his palm, her tears falling one by one on his hand.

Seeing Hong Mei like this, Lan Yao grew a bit anxious.

"Hong Mei, Sect Leader Bai said Gu Sheng has only mostly recovered, not completely. Now that he can hear us, your crying might wake him prematurely..."

Upon hearing this, Hong Mei immediately let go of his hand and stood up.

"Right, right, his body hasn't fully healed; he can't wake up prematurely. It's my fault, I was too excited."

"No, no, I didn't mean to blame you. I understand how you feel, I just wanted you to calm down."

As he spoke, Lan Yao stood before Gu Sheng and softly said, "It's still calm here; we're all staying with you. Wait until your strength is fully restored before waking up; we can afford to wait."

Gu Sheng made no further movement, and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
