After chatting for a while, the shopkeeper's eyes began to shift between Gu Sheng and Lan Hua, and then he said with a smile: "Gu Sheng, today is the first time Lan Hua has brought me a customer. It seems that you are not simple to her."

When she said this, Lanhua couldn't help but blush.

"Don't talk nonsense."

She said this in a coquettish tone, looking upwards at Gu Sheng, then quickly turned away after a glance, looking like a typical young girl.

"Oh, you're shy after I just said one sentence? Lanhua, I didn't expect you to like this one. Gu Sheng, our Lanhua has never been attracted to anyone before, so you better seize the opportunity."

In an instant, Lanhua's face turned red and she kept pulling her friend's sleeves, but did not stop her from talking.

While the two were laughing, Hongmei's face had turned extremely dark.

Lan Yao and the others felt the low pressure here, and they were so anxious that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. Lan Yao kept touching Gu Sheng, signaling him to speak.

"You misunderstood. Lanhua and I are not in the relationship you think. We are just pure friends."

As soon as Gu Sheng opened his mouth, most of the redness on Lanhua's face faded away, and turned into a bit of embarrassment.

"Yes, I've said it before, we are not that kind of relationship."

Looking at Gu Sheng, Lanhua's friend frowned.

"Our Lanhua is so outstanding, but you are not moved? Are you still a man?"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng frowned.

"Who I like has nothing to do with whether I am a man or not. I already have someone in my heart, and she is right here, so I can't make such jokes."

Subconsciously, Lanhua cast her gaze on Hongmei's face, pursed her lower lip, and there was obvious reluctance in her eyes.

Hongmei didn't expect Gu Sheng to say it so bluntly, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

Seeing that neither side spoke, Gu Sheng turned to look at Hongmei.

"Although I haven't said it, you should know what I mean, right?"

Looking at him, Hongmei nodded vigorously.

He wanted to use up all his spiritual energy to heal her, how could she not know his feelings? It was just that no one broke the window paper between them, so she endured it in every possible way.

Seeing Hongmei nod, Gu Sheng smiled.

"My sweetheart said she knew."

As soon as Gu Sheng said this, Lanhua's friend's face darkened.

"You have a lover, but you're still teasing our Lanhua? Are you sick? If you're sick, go get treatment as soon as possible, don't play tricks on me! Get out of here, our inn doesn't welcome people like you!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved it. A divine force flew out from her hand and headed straight towards Gu Sheng.

Feeling her divine power, Gu Sheng's face changed, he raised his hand and clenched it tightly, dissipating it in an instant.

Seeing Gu Sheng dissipate his spiritual energy so easily, she sneered: "So what if you are strong? The fact that you have someone in your heart is not clean. You are not worthy of our Lanhua!"

Looking up at her, Gu Sheng's face also darkened.

"I've said before that Lanhua and I are just ordinary friends. It's you who thought our relationship was dirty. After learning the truth, you spoke so rudely. It's really sad that Lanhua has a friend like you!"

"You're talking nonsense! It's sad that Lanhua knows someone like you!"

Seeing her angry and embarrassed look, Gu Sheng sneered.

"We met because we have the same goal and can help each other. If you hadn't embarrassed us by saying these words today, we could have gotten along well and even become best friends. But now that you've said these words, you've alienated our relationship. If one of us really took it seriously, how can we get along in the future?"

Gu Sheng's words were clever. It seemed that he was refuting Lanhua's friend, but in fact, he was telling Lanhua that he didn't take her friend's words to heart. It was just someone else's attempt to alienate her and it would not affect their friendship.

Lanhua naturally understood what Gu Sheng said and breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly stepped forward as her friend was about to speak.

"Okay, stop talking. Things are not what you think. We have known each other for a short time and we are just friends. Hongmei has always been with Gu Sheng. It's okay for her to be his sweetheart. Stop embarrassing everyone."

Lanhua said as her friend's eyes widened in anger.

"You idiot, we've been together for so many years, how could I not see what you were thinking? I was clearly helping you, but you pushed me away, you're so stupid!"

Lanhua felt extremely embarrassed when her thoughts were exposed again.

At first, when she didn't know that Gu Sheng liked Hongmei, she wanted her friends to help her speak out her true feelings and let Gu Sheng know what he thought. Maybe it would help to take their relationship to the next level. But now that Gu Sheng has been frank, wouldn't it make her even more embarrassed and awkward if she continued to say this?
"Alright! Stop talking about it! I've never had that kind of thought. Stop making fun of our relationship!"

Lanhua was obviously angry, her face flushed with anger, completely different from before.

In order to maintain her remaining self-esteem, she raised her hand to grab the key beside her.

Seeing her actions, her friend stopped her.

"He already has a lover, and you still want him to live here? Get him out of here right now! Come back when you have a clear mind! Otherwise, I won't entertain you!"

"Don't make trouble!"

"I'm not making a fuss! Everyone except you, get out of here!"

Hearing the words rolling around, Gu Sheng glanced at her coldly, then said to Lanhua: "There are many inns in the south of the city, we can just go to another one, you stay, we'll see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Gu Sheng turned around and left with everyone without waiting for them to speak.

Everyone had been holding their breath for a long time and had been waiting for Gu Sheng to say he was leaving. Now that they saw him leaving, they followed him without stopping.

Looking at their backs, Lanhua wanted to catch up with them, but was stopped.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. You can stay at my place and we can talk in the evening."

"No, we have things to do tonight."

Lanhua remembered that Gu Sheng said he would go to Luo Qin's place in the evening, but he couldn't get rid of the hand on his wrist.

"There are so many of them. It's not like they can't do without you. Let them go and we can talk it out."

Seeing that he refused to let go no matter what she said, Lanhua could only nod helplessly and watch Gu Sheng's back disappear.

After leaving the inn, Gu Sheng led everyone around another street and finally found a magnificent inn.

Looking at the inn in front of him, Lan Yao nodded continuously with satisfaction.

"Yes, this inn looks big and beautiful. It must be very comfortable to live in."

After he finished speaking, Shi Lou smiled and said, "The wine here should be good too. I can smell the aroma of wine at the door. Although we can't drink it today, we can try it tomorrow. Master Lan, I'll leave it to you then."

"No problem, this is not a small matter. Hongmei, don't be angry with that kind of person. Gu Sheng has already made his words so clear, she just doesn't understand what he said."

Knowing what he meant, Hongmei nodded.

"I know, don't worry about me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Sheng took her hand.

"There are some things I haven't said because I think we have a tacit understanding. You will understand even if I don't say it. But today I realized that some things are not meant for each other, but for outsiders. If I don't say it, they will naturally think it's wrong. So I said it out loud. Do you mind?"

Looking into his eyes, Hongmei blushed and shook her head. "Of course I don't mind. I also think we are in tune with each other. I understand your thoughts."

The two looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths curled up unconsciously.

"Please, can you stop being so cheesy? There are so many people watching us. Leave us a way out!"

Bai Yu rolled his eyes at the two of them while speaking, causing others to echo him.

Gu Sheng smiled and led everyone into the inn.

As soon as they entered the door, the waiter came to greet them immediately.

"Dear guests, are you here to stay or to stay overnight?"

After feeling the waiter's aura and confirming that he and Luo Qin's men were not the same, Gu Sheng said, "We'll stay at the hotel. Give me a few rooms."

Hearing the words "go upstairs", the waiter's eyes lit up and he quickly led them upstairs.

Just as Lan Yao said, this place is really good, obviously much better than that of Lan Hua’s friend.

"Gu Sheng, it seems we made the right choice, otherwise we would have to make do again."

Knowing why Lan Yao said that, Gu Sheng nodded.

"Remember to send a message to Lanhua tonight, and we can meet there directly."

Lan Yao also understood what he meant and agreed directly.

That night, after having a big meal at the inn, several people left directly.

To ensure safety, they took a long detour before arriving outside Qingcheng Sect.

After making sure that no one was following them, they found a secluded place to stay.

Shi Lou stuck his head out, looked around, then frowned and said, "Why hasn't Lan Yao come back yet?"

Looking at the sky, Gu Sheng also frowned.

Logically speaking, the two inns were not far from each other, and Lan Yao was very fast, so he should have returned by now, but there was no one on the entire street, which was obviously not right.

Seeing that Gu Sheng also frowned, Shi Lou asked softly: "Brother Sheng, do you want me to go look for him?"

After thinking about it, Gu Sheng shook his head.

"You are weaker than him, so you should not act alone. Wait a little longer and see if you can wait for him."

Everyone was anxious, but they could only do as he said.

After waiting for a long time, everyone still didn't see the Blue Demon.

Bai Yu stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go find her."

This time, Gu Sheng did not refuse.

Bai Yu pointed her toes and her body immediately rose into the air, soon disappearing into the night sky.

In this way, everyone waited for a long time before they saw the figures of the two people.

Seeing that only the two of them came back, Shi Lou asked in confusion: "Why are only the two of you back? Didn't you go to call Lan Hua? Where are she and her people?"

Hearing this, Blue Demon spat fiercely.

"Don't mention it. I went there and didn't even see Lan Hua. I was also pestered by her friends. I was almost exposed. I was so unlucky!"

"What? You didn't even see anyone?"

"No! Her friends seemed to have prepared in advance and stationed a lot of people at the door. I was surrounded as soon as I arrived. They didn't want to kill me, but they hit me hard. I finally got away and met Bai Yu on the way."

Having said that, Lan Yao turned and looked at Gu Sheng.

“What should I do if I can’t find the orchid?”

"It's okay, let's go."

Gu Sheng said this with a cold face, and everyone could only nod.

Moving forward, they found the back door of Qingcheng Sect.

Seeing that there was no one guarding this place, Gu Sheng raised his hand and waved down the barrier, then led everyone in.

All of them held their breath, and moved forward little by little, sticking to the wall. Not long after they walked, Gu Sheng felt a surge of evil energy.

Instantly, he frowned.

Now he believed that the evil demon was no longer a big name here, because he could feel from the aura that there were indeed many people here who were stronger than the evil demon!

Luo Qin’s ability to train these people must have been due to the contribution of Master Shengya!
With a cold face, Gu Sheng touched his waist, then sighed heavily and continued to walk forward.

Everyone followed him, exploring along the way, until they heard a sound ahead, and then they left with Gu Sheng.

As soon as their footsteps landed outside the wall, the footsteps inside the wall stopped at the place they had just left.

Obviously, the faint footsteps might have been heard by the other party, so someone came to inquire.

Fortunately, Gu Sheng was very strong and sensed the opponent's actions in advance, which allowed them to escape.

The footsteps inside were still coming, so Gu Sheng and the others waited quietly outside. They didn't dare to reveal even a breath, just waiting quietly.

After a long time, the people inside left.

Hearing the footsteps going away, Gu Sheng did not dare to act rashly. Instead, he tried again and again. After making sure that the other party was not pretending to leave, he took his people away.

On the way back, everyone was no longer as quiet as usual. Even Blue Demon, who usually talked the most, fell silent.

They returned to the inn like this. After Gu Sheng summoned the small tripod to cover the sky, Hongmei spoke first: "Gu Sheng, Luo Qin's strength is far beyond our imagination. He has many people who are stronger than the evil demon. Among them, there must be some methods of Master Shengya, but it will be extremely difficult to deal with them."

After she finished speaking, Bai Yu sighed heavily.

"I didn't expect Luo Qin's Qingcheng Sect to be so powerful. They appear to be decent on the surface, with other masters supporting them, but their hidden strength is even stronger than it appears. Hongmei is right. It's too difficult to deal with them. Gu Sheng, this is just Luo Qin. What can we do?"

After these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but feel anxious.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, and everyone was sighing.

Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng pinched his brows, and after a long silence, he turned around and asked Hongmei: "Do you have any ink fragrance?"

"Yes, but not much. My master gave it to me."

"Give me."

Although Hongmei didn't know what he was going to do, she still took out Moxiang obediently.

When handing over, both of them were extremely cautious. After all, this thing was extremely poisonous, and there was no antidote for it. Once touched, the person would die, and even gods could not save them.

When watching the two people taking the ink incense, the others couldn't help but become nervous, and even their breathing became much weaker. (End of this chapter)
