That night, Gu Sheng knocked on the third elder's door.

Banging sounds were heard, and the third elder in the room was frightened and subconsciously picked up his weapon.

Hearing the noise, Gu Sheng spoke hurriedly.

"Don't panic, Third Elder. It's me."

"Gu Sheng?"

"Yes, it's me."

After Gu Sheng answered again, the door in front of him opened.

The third elder stood behind the door, looking at him excitedly.

"Gu Sheng, you're finally back! Come in!"

Several people walked in and sat down at the table.

Seeing the third elder busying around, Gu Sheng quickly stopped him.

"Third Elder, please don't be busy yet. We are in a hurry to come back this time, and I have something important to tell you."

Hearing this, the third elder was shocked.

"Gu Sheng, what happened?"

"It's something, but it's a good thing. I know it's late at night and I don't want to disturb the elders, but this is really important. Can you ask a few elders to come over?"

Hearing what Gu Sheng said, the Third Elder immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Without even thinking, he nodded.

"Okay, have a cup of tea and take a rest, I'll go call them."

After saying that, the third elder put on his clothes and left.

Finally they were able to take a break, and Shi Lou and the others picked up their teacups and drank lavishly.

Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Why are you so thirsty?"

"Brother Sheng, we walked for three days and two nights, and we drank all the water we brought with us a long time ago. Look at my lips, they are so dry that they are about to crack!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You looked solemn and hurried along the way, how could I dare to tell you? I only dare to tell you now that we are home."

Knowing that it was his fault, Gu Sheng looked at them and said, "Tell me in time if this happens again next time. I don't eat people, so what is there to be afraid of?"

"We are only……"

Before Shi Lou could finish his words, several elders hurried in.

"Gu Sheng, the Third Elder said something happened, what happened?"

"Yeah, what happened? Is it serious?"

Seeing that they were getting more anxious than each other, Gu Sheng quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, elders. Something has happened, but it's a good thing. How about we sit down and talk slowly?"

Knowing that it was a good thing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Third Elder is the same. He brought us here without explaining anything to us. I was so nervous the whole way."

"Yeah, I had prepared for the worst, but it turned out to be a good thing. He probably hasn't woken up yet, so his mind is still confused."

After a few people sat down chatting and laughing, the third elder and the fifth elder walked in together.

"Gu Sheng, everyone is here, we can talk now."

After the third elder closed the door, Gu Sheng took out the elixir made by Master Wushuang and handed it to them.

"Elders, can you feel the aura of this elixir?"

Looking at those ordinary pills, the elders were somewhat puzzled, but they still reached out to feel them.

When they felt the aura from the elixir, everyone's expression changed. They seemed unable to believe their own feelings and began to continuously deepen their divine power.

In just a moment, the entire Stone Village was filled with divine power. Gu Sheng quickly summoned a small tripod to cover the sky so as not to disturb others' rest.

After a long time, everyone withdrew their hands, and I looked at him in disbelief.

"Gu Sheng, this... where did you get this from?"

"Have the elders sensed who the aura above comes from?"

Several people looked at each other, and the fifth elder said with a trembling voice: "If I am not mistaken, this should belong to Master Wushuang?"

Hearing his words, Gu Sheng nodded.

"That's right, these pills were made by Master Wushuang himself, and they were also given to me by Master Wushuang."

As soon as Gu Sheng said this, several elders stood up suddenly.

"Gu Sheng, did I hear you correctly? You said these pills came from Master Wushuang? Have you ever met Master Wushuang?"

"Yes, you heard it right. What I am about to say next may shock you even more than what I just said. I hope you all listen carefully."

After seeing that they had calmed down, Gu Sheng told them about the Tiancang Sect.

Although several elders had prepared themselves mentally beforehand, they were still shocked when they heard about the Tiancang Sect.

Finally, Gu Sheng looked at them and said, "Ms. Wushuang wanted me to stay in Tiancang Sect as an envoy, and my only condition was to merge Shitou Village into Tiancang Sect. She agreed, and now it's up to the elders."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, no one responded for a long time.

They seemed to have been acupunctured and just sat there in a daze, without any reaction.

Gu Sheng also knew that this matter would take time for them to digest, so he sat quietly aside drinking tea, giving them enough time to think about it.

Gu Sheng originally thought that they would be able to figure it out after finishing the pot of tea, but he didn't expect that he would have to wait until dawn.

Shilou, Ergou and others were very energetic at first, but as they waited, they all started yawning.

When he heard the crowing of roosters outside, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.

"Elders, you have been thinking about this all night, but you still haven't come up with an answer?"

After hearing his words, everyone came to their senses.

The fifth elder looked at him, then suddenly grabbed his hand and hit himself in the face.

With a snap, Gu Sheng was startled and quickly pulled his hand back.

"Fifth Elder, what are you doing?"

"I want to know if I am dreaming. Is it because it is too late at night and I am having a sweet dream? It is daybreak now, so I should wake up, right? Gu Sheng, that slap just now didn't hurt much, how about you hit me again?"

After he finished speaking, several elders actually asked to be beaten.

Hearing their request, Gu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Elders, what you heard is true. Master Wushuang has agreed to merge Shitou Village into Tiancang Sect. Now it depends on whether you agree or not."

After saying this, he set his gaze on the face of the Third Elder.

"Third Elder, your words carry the most weight in Stone Village. Please give me an answer."

Looking at him, the third elder hesitated and asked, "Gu Sheng, the premise for Shitou Village to be incorporated into Tiancang Sect is that you want to join Tiancang Sect, right?"

"Yes, Master Wushuang wants me to be the envoy of Tiancang Sect." "But...but we still want you to be the village chief...In fact, I wanted to give you the village chief's token a long time ago, but I didn't expect that my hesitation would lead to this result. Gu Sheng, I didn't mean to guard against you before, I just wanted to wait for a while."

Understanding what he meant, Gu Sheng nodded.

"Third Elder, I understand what you mean, but I have never cared about these things. In my heart, I am a member of Shitou Village. As for my identity, I don't care."

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shi Lou hurriedly took over and said, "Elders, Brother Sheng is really thinking about our Shitou Village. When Master Wushuang brought up this matter, he said he would not agree to it and insisted on coming back to ask for your opinions. Er Gou and I repeatedly said that you would have no objections, but he just wouldn't listen. Now, after three days and two nights, he has finally come back."

Upon learning what happened, the elders' eyes were red with gratitude.

"Gu Sheng, thank you for always helping Shitouzhai."

"This is what I should do. Elders, have you thought about it? Can you give me an answer?"

After they looked at each other, the third elder said, "You have secured for us a chance to rise to the top overnight. How could we refuse? I just regret that I couldn't let you be the leader of Stone Village for a day. This is my fault..."

"Third Elder, it's just a token, it's not that important. Just like Shi Lou and the others, they think of me as the village leader, which means I have been the leader. You ask for my opinions everywhere and listen to my ideas on everything. In actual actions, you have put me in this position, right?"

"Yes! Yes! In our hearts, you have indeed already occupied this position."

Seeing them nod in unison, Gu Sheng smiled.

"If that's the case, then it means that I have already served in everyone's mind, so we don't have to dwell on these things anymore. Since everyone agrees to join the Tiancang Sect, let's go to Yunhai together and tell Master Wushuang the news."

"Okay, we'll follow you now!"

The fifth elder was about to leave after saying this, but the third elder quickly stopped him.

"Gu Sheng and his men have just returned after three days and two nights of traveling. They didn't even close their eyes except for drinking a sip of water. You let them travel for another three days and two nights and then go back? Do you want to kill them?"

After the Third Elder finished speaking, the Fifth Elder slapped himself hard on the forehead.

"Look at me, I was so happy that I forgot to let you rest. So, you guys take a rest first, and we will make some preparations. This is our first meeting with Master Wushuang, and we can't go empty-handed. Let's get ready."

"Okay, elders, come and call us when you are ready, and we will hurry back as soon as possible."

After the discussion, Gu Sheng and his companions returned to their respective courtyards and slept comfortably.

It was not until late in the evening that footsteps were heard outside.

Gu Sheng had been meditating for a long time, and his body and spiritual strength had long since recovered. When he heard footsteps, he opened the door directly.

"Third Elder, are you ready?"

"Ready, did I wake you?"

"No, I'm awake. Now that we're ready, let's get going as soon as possible. I promised Master Wushuang that I would give you an answer within seven days."

"Gu Sheng, I have a question I want to ask."

Seeing the third elder hesitant to speak, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Third Elder, if you have any concerns, please feel free to speak up. You're welcome."

"Gu Sheng, actually I just want to ask, once our Shitou Village is incorporated into Tiancang Sect, do we have to move to Yunhai?"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng really didn't know how to answer for a moment, because they had never talked about this matter before.

Seeing his embarrassment, the Third Elder immediately said, "Gu Sheng, don't think too much. I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask around. If the Tiancang Sect is willing to accept us, we should be grateful. As for where, it doesn't matter. I'm just asking around. You should get up and pack up first."

When the Third Elder turned to leave, Gu Sheng asked, "Third Elder, are you reluctant to leave this?"

Hearing his words, the third elder slowly stopped.

"Alas, it's hard to leave our hometown. We have been stationed here for decades. Our lives and deaths depend on this place. It's really hard to leave suddenly. But it doesn't matter. As long as we are better off in the future, that's all that's fine."

After leaving these words, the third elder left quickly.

Gu Sheng sat on the bed and pursed his lips gently.

He had indeed not considered this issue before, but now thinking about it carefully, the feeling of being reluctant to leave his hometown is indeed difficult to deal with. However, this is a matter between the two sects and it is not something he can decide alone. He still has to wait until he reaches the Sea of ​​Clouds to decide on it.

Pinching his brows, Gu Sheng stood up and called Ergou and the others.

That night, Gu Sheng led everyone on the journey.

After another three days and two nights of travel, they finally returned to the sea of ​​clouds.

From a distance, Gu Sheng saw a red figure.

The figure seemed to be looking over here, sometimes moving, sometimes still, showing a bit of impatience.

He led everyone closer, and when he saw the other person's face clearly, he smiled and called out, "Hongmei."

Hearing his voice, Hongmei turned around in surprise, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Gu Sheng, you're back!"

"I'm back, why are you here?"

"I... I have nothing to do, so I'm just walking around here."

Seeing the pair of big eyes that quickly avoided him and the guilt that could not be hidden in the eyes, Gu Sheng could not help but chuckle.

When he smiled, Hongmei couldn't help but blush.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

"Nothing to laugh at. Where is Master Wushuang?"

"In the yard. I'll take you there."

Hongmei volunteered and walked in front of them with a happy face.

Shi Lou touched Gu Sheng's shoulder and winked at him.

"Brother Sheng, it's obvious that he's waiting for you on purpose, don't you see?"

After he finished speaking, Ergou also came over.

"Brother Sheng, Hongmei seems to be attracted to you. Do you see it now?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Gu Sheng said this with a smile on his face.

For some reason, when they met again after a few days, he suddenly felt that Hongmei was different.

She is no longer as cold and distant as before, and there is always a hint of sadness between her brows. Now she has become more lively and lovely, her big eyes have become lively, and the dimples on her lips appear more and more frequently. It seems that after returning to Master Wushuang, she is really different from before.

While Gu Sheng was staring at Hongmei's back, Shilou and Ergou turned around and blinked wildly at several elders, conveying gossip to them with their eyes.

Several elders also heard what they said, and for a moment everyone had a smile on their face.

They were a little nervous at first, but now that this incident has happened, their nervousness has dissipated a lot.

The crowd came to the courtyard of Master Wushuang, who personally greeted them.

Seeing Master Wushuang in person, everyone in Shitouzhai was extremely excited.

Seeing them perform the great salute, Wushuang Jushi quickly helped them up.

"Since you are here, I know your choice. From now on, Shitou Village and Tiancang Sect are one family. There is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat quickly."

Mr. Wushuang was unexpectedly kind, which made them feel relieved again.

When they sat down, everyone subconsciously gathered around Gu Sheng, with him as the center of their seats. (End of this chapter)
