Yudie was very thoughtful. Seeing Gu Sheng's sad face, she knew what he was thinking, so she began to prepare wine and food quietly. After a while, a table of sumptuous food and two pots of fine wine were placed on the table.

"Come on, Gu Sheng, we won't go home until we are drunk tonight." Yudie smiled and filled Gu Sheng's glass with wine.

Gu Sheng picked up the wine glass, looked at Yudie deeply, and a warm current surged in his heart: "Thank you, Yudie."

The two of them drank from their glasses, the aroma of wine filling the air. In this enclosed space, there were only the two of them, and it seemed as if the whole world had gone silent.

"Do you think we will see Lin Tianhao again?" Yudie suddenly broke the long silence, her eyes flashing with anticipation and reluctance.

Gu Sheng put down his glass, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and took a deep breath: "Maybe. We will meet again somewhere in life. Our fate with Lin Tianhao may not be over yet."

Yudie nodded gently, as if comforted by Gu Sheng's words: "Yes, no one can predict the future. I just hope he can find his own way and live happily."

The two continued to drink and chat, talking about each other's past and future. Gu Sheng told about his adventures in his youth, while Yudie shared her interesting stories in the family. In this enclosed space, their laughter and conversation intertwined, forming a harmonious picture.

Time passed unnoticed, and the food and wine on the table gradually decreased. But the topics of conversation between the two seemed endless, and they chatted happily.

Suddenly, a breeze blew through the window of the flying car, bringing in the fresh air from the outside world. Gu Sheng stood up and walked to the window, looking at the starry sky outside and exclaimed: "The stars are so beautiful tonight."

Yudie also stood up and walked to his side and stood shoulder to shoulder: "Yes, they seem to be telling us something."

The two smiled knowingly and continued to admire the beautiful starry sky and enjoy this rare quiet time.

A month later, the butterfly shadow flying car landed steadily in the square of the Rain Clan's territory. Yu Die and Gu Sheng got off the flying car, and were immediately greeted by the guards of the Rain Clan.

"Miss, you're back!" The guard saluted Yudie respectfully.

Yudie nodded, turned to Gu Sheng and said, "Gu Sheng, you go and rest first. I will report the itinerary to my father."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Not long after, Yu Qingyang, the chief of the Rain Clan, learned that his daughter had returned and hosted a banquet for Gu Sheng. At the banquet, Yu Qingyang smiled, but a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes.

After the banquet, Yu Qingyang met with Gu Sheng alone. He took Gu Sheng into a secret room of the Yu Clan, and the smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by seriousness and indifference.

"Gu Sheng, I thank you for taking care of Yudie during this time." Yu Qingyang said slowly, "But I think you two are not suitable to be together."

Gu Sheng frowned slightly: "Why does the clan leader say that?"

Yu Qingyang snorted coldly: "I have secretly investigated your background. You don't have any prominent family background in Xiwu. Moreover, you have friendships with those bandits, which makes me very dissatisfied."

Gu Sheng's heart trembled, but he remained calm: "Chief, I do have friendship with Xing Lie and others, but they are them and I am me. I am not a bandit, but a cultivator."

"A cultivator?" Yu Qingyang smiled disdainfully, "Do you think a cultivator is worthy of my daughter? Let me tell you, Yudie is the princess of my Yu Clan, and her future husband must be a young talent from a famous family with a distinguished family background."

Gu Sheng took a deep breath. He knew that any more explanations would be futile. So he chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Yu Qingyang thought that Gu Sheng had given up, so he continued, "Since you are here, I will not let you go back empty-handed. Come with me and go to our family's warehouse to choose some things."

Gu Sheng followed Yu Qingyang to the warehouse. The door of the warehouse slowly opened, and the treasures inside were dazzling.

Yu Qingyang pointed at the treasures in the warehouse and said, "Take whatever you like."

Gu Sheng looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a strange-looking flying car. The flying car was all black, with exquisite butterfly patterns carved on the body, as if it could take off at any time.

"I want this flying car." Gu Sheng said, pointing at the flying car.

Yu Qingyang took a look at the flying car, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This flying car is called Xuanpin Dieying Flying Car, and it is one of the treasures of my Yu clan. Are you sure you want to choose it?"

Gu Sheng nodded: "Sure."

Yu Qingyang didn't say anything else, just looked at Gu Sheng deeply, then turned and left the warehouse.

Gu Sheng walked to the flying car and carefully looked at this legendary Xuanpin Butterfly Shadow Flying Car. He found that there was a lifelike butterfly puppet inlaid on the driver's seat of the flying car. He only needed to embed a spirit stone on the back of the puppet to drive the flying car to travel thousands of miles a day.

"What a great thing." Gu Sheng secretly praised in his heart, then jumped onto the flying car, ready to leave the Rain Clan's territory.

Before he left, Yu Qingyang found him again with a hint of displeasure on his face: "Gu Sheng, I hope you can remember what I said today. You are not worthy of my daughter, so it is better to leave her as soon as possible."

Gu Sheng smiled calmly: "Don't worry, Patriarch, I know what I'm doing." After saying that, he started the flying car and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Yu Qingyang looked at the direction where Gu Sheng left, with a complicated look in his eyes. He didn't know whether his decision was right, but he knew that as the patriarch of the Yu Clan, he had to consider his daughter's future.

Gu Sheng drove the Xuanpin Butterfly Shadow Flying Car, drew an elegant arc in the sky, and landed steadily in an unknown country. Here, ancient trees towered to the sky, surrounded by auspicious air, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a paradise on earth.

As soon as he got off the car, he heard a silver bell-like laughter in the distance. Turning his head, he saw a little girl in a nun's robe, jumping towards him. Although the girl was dressed as a nun, she was still beautiful and elegant, with a pair of big eyes that were bright and sparkling, as if they could speak.

"Is it Brother Gu Sheng?" The little nun walked closer, looked at Gu Sheng curiously, and asked.

Gu Sheng was slightly stunned, then nodded and smiled: "You are... the little nun Jingyin?"

The little nun giggled and put her hands together and said, "I was meditating yesterday and felt my supernatural powers. I knew that Brother Gu Sheng would come to Longyun Country today. Sure enough! Jingyin came here today to invite you to participate in our Longyun Country's magic battle meeting."

Gu Sheng was moved when he heard this. He had heard of the fame of the Longyun Kingdom's Magic Competition. He would not miss it this time. So he nodded and said, "Such a grand event cannot be missed. Princess Jingyin, please lead the way." Princess Jingyin was overjoyed when she heard this and led Gu Sheng to the palace of Longyun Kingdom. Along the way, the two talked and laughed, feeling that they had met too late.

Soon after, they arrived at the palace. At this time, the magic competition had already begun. Gu Sheng looked around and saw that the field was full of masters, and various magic skills emerged one after another, dazzling.

Princess Jingyin led Gu Sheng to a prominent seat and then explained in a low voice: "The winner of this duel will have the opportunity to receive personal guidance and rewards from our emperor."

Gu Sheng nodded, indicating that he understood. He sat quietly on the sidelines, observing the competition. He found that the strength of these contestants was not weak, and each of them had their own unique spells and magical powers.

Finally, it was Gu Sheng's turn to play. He walked slowly to the center of the field, took a deep breath, and sat cross-legged. His opponent was a middle-aged monk with considerable strength, but Gu Sheng did not feel nervous at all.

After the match started, Gu Sheng activated his magic power, and a golden bell appeared out of thin air and slowly rotated. This was one of his defensive spells, which could resist most attacks. At the same time, he began to use the mental formula in the Great Prajna Sutra to interfere with the opponent's magic power.

Sure enough, not long after, the middle-aged monk felt something was wrong. He found that his magic power became extremely difficult to operate, as if it was suppressed by something. He was secretly shocked and began to cast spells with all his strength to try to break this suppressed state.

"Boom..."

Gu Sheng did not give him a chance. The golden bell suddenly accelerated and made a deafening sound. The middle-aged monk felt dizzy and uneasy during the sound, and then he lost his ability to resist and was defeated.

"Good!" The people watching the game outside cheered and applauded, cheering for Gu Sheng's wonderful performance. Even the number one monk nodded slightly to show his approval.

Princess Jingyin jumped up excitedly: "Brother Gu Sheng, you are awesome! You really didn't let me down!" She even ran over and gave Gu Sheng a big hug to congratulate him. This caught Gu Sheng off guard but also made him feel very warm and happy.

The crowd watching was extremely envious. To receive a hug like this from the princess was a treatment that many young men from noble families dreamed of.

Afterwards, Gu Sheng became a guest of honor in the Longyun Kingdom and was personally received and entertained by the Emperor Long Ao Yu and the Queen. He was in great glory.

In the palace, he also met the young man he had met in the Xiwu Mountains before—Long Youguang. It turned out that he was Princess Jingyin's brother and the Crown Prince of Longyun Kingdom. The two hit it off immediately and had a great conversation.

When the news reached back to the territory of the Rain Clan, the Clan leader Yu Qingyang was shocked. He did not expect that Gu Sheng, whom he looked down upon, could shine at the Longyun Kingdom's fighting competition. This made him feel very embarrassed and awkward.

At the same time, Princess Yudie also felt ashamed. She once told her father that Gu Sheng was an outstanding talent, but her father disagreed. Now it seems that she had chosen the right person.

"Father and mother, look at how outstanding Gu Sheng is! We in Longyun country must treat him well!" Princess Jingyin pulled the sleeves of the emperor and the queen and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay! All is up to you, all is up to you!" Emperor Long Ao Yu touched Princess Jingyin's head lovingly and said with a smile, "Young friend Gu Sheng is indeed a rare talent! I will reward him well!"

The queen also smiled and joked: "Jingyin, you see that young friend Gu Sheng is so outstanding, why don't you just marry him! What's the point of being a nun? It's also good to find a good husband to accompany you!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Jingyin blushed immediately, glared at the queen, pouted and said, "Mother, you are here again! I am a monk and I don't talk about these things!" After that, she turned and ran away, leaving the emperor and the queen looking at each other and smiling.

The palace was magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. Prince Long Youguang and Gu Sheng walked side by side, passing through the corridor and heading towards the Imperial Garden. Long Youguang looked at Gu Sheng with admiration and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, you really opened my eyes. The vision of the Vajra Demon Subduing Bell is really shocking."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness is overpraising me. It was just luck."

At this time, in the Imperial Garden, Emperor Long Ao Yu and the Queen were leisurely sipping tea, while Princess Jingyin was whispering with her head down, no one knew what she was thinking about.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress." Long Youguang pulled Gu Sheng forward and saluted.

Emperor Long Ao Yu looked up at Gu Sheng, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Gu Sheng, I have heard about your performance in the duel competition. It was very good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Gu Sheng responded respectfully.

At this moment, Yu Qingyang, the chief of the Rain Clan, strode in, looking anxious: "Your Majesty, I have something important to discuss with you."

Emperor Long Ao Yu frowned slightly: "Chief Yu, why are you so flustered?"

Yu Qingyang glanced at Gu Sheng and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, I would like to betroth my daughter Yu Die to my friend Gu Sheng, and invite him to join the Yu Clan and become a guest elder of our clan."

The whole audience was shocked when these words came out. Princess Jingyin also raised her head and looked at Gu Sheng curiously.

Emperor Long Ao Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement: "Oh? Chief Yu is very generous, but this matter still depends on Gu Sheng's opinion."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I am very grateful for the kindness of Chief Yu. But I am not considering the relationship at the moment, I just want to concentrate on cultivation."

Yu Qingyang's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal: "Friend Gu, do you know the influence of my Yu Clan in the Western Regions? If you join my clan, you will get endless resources and protection."

Gu Sheng shook his head: "Chief of the Rain Clan, I don't look down on the Rain Clan, but I have ambitions and don't want to be bound by them."

Yu Qingyang frowned. He didn't expect Gu Sheng to refuse so firmly. He took a deep breath and tried to persuade him again.

At this moment, the queen suddenly said, "Chief Yu, a forced melon is not sweet, why do you force it?"

Emperor Long Ao Yu also nodded and smiled: "Yes, Chief Rain, young people have their own ideas and ambitions, and we should respect them."

Yu Qingyang heard this, although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only nod helplessly: "If that's the case, then I won't force it. However, my friend Gu Sheng, if you change your mind, the door of my Yu clan is always open to you."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly: "Thank you, Chief Yu."

The storm seemed to have subsided, but the atmosphere in the palace became more subtle. Gu Sheng's refusal made Yu Qingyang lose face, but at the same time he also won the respect of everyone present. Princess Jingyin looked at Gu Sheng with a strange look in her eyes.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, a guard suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad! A large number of monsters suddenly appeared outside the city and are rushing towards the palace!" (End of this chapter)
