In secret, a pair of eyes were always staring at Gu Sheng's tent.

Gu Sheng noticed something, but did nothing.

He knew that it was that person who was observing. Since he wanted to hear it with his own ears, let him go. Anyway, people from both the city and the south were here, and some things would reach his ears sooner or later.

"Blue demon, tear some more meat."

"Okay, there's a lot of game here, everyone should eat more."

It was very lively on Gu Sheng's side, and the man who was watching frowned.

"With such a lack of ambition, I don't think it's a famous sect."

When he let down the curtains, someone stopped in front of his tent.

"It's so unlucky. If I had known Luo Qin was such a person, I shouldn't have come here."

"Yes, I thought he led the Qingcheng Sect so well, so he should be a gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be a villain. If I had known this, I would not have come."

"Ah, it's really unlucky. We came here for the Qingcheng Sect, but ended up like this. You would have thought that he would get into trouble sooner or later, but he had to reveal his true colors at this time."

"If it weren't for Shopkeeper Wang risking his life, we wouldn't be able to see his true face. But it's good this way. At least we know who he is in advance and can avoid him in the future."

"Right, right, right. Just avoid him. There are so many famous and upright people coming this time. We don't have to have him. Just make a new choice. Am I afraid that no one will want me if I don't have the ability? Let's go and look around."

After a short rest, the two got up and left.

As soon as they left, the man came out.

Looking at the direction the two people left, he frowned tightly.

Gu Sheng glanced in his direction, raised his lips slightly, and quickly looked away.

The man also looked in his direction, and seeing that he was still eating meat with big mouthfuls, he simply followed the footsteps of the two men and walked around.

More and more people came from the city and the south, and there were countless topics about Luo Qin.

The Qingcheng Sect hadn't arrived yet, so naturally everyone didn't shy away.

For a while, the topic gradually spread, and wherever the man went, there were comments about Luo Qin.

Upon learning that he wanted to kill all the shopkeepers he had cooperated with for many years just for a dagger, and eventually forced many shopkeepers to reveal information to save their lives, the man frowned.

He grabbed a random person and asked coldly, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Nonsense, how can this be false? The people in Chaonan City saw it with their own eyes. Luo Qin has oppressed these shopkeepers for so many years. Now that things have gotten out of hand, he has been turned against. He is already lucky!"

"Did anyone really see it with their own eyes?"

As soon as he asked this question, someone next to him patted his chest.

"I saw it with my own eyes. He was beaten by his men. This is the evidence!"

Seeing the wound on the man's arm, the man pursed his lips with a bad expression.

"Looking at your expression, are you here for Qingcheng? I've heard that Luo Qin's men are all assassins, not from the right path. You should think about this carefully."

Hearing this, the man's brows tightened even more.

"Do you have any basis for what you said?"

"No, I just heard about it. Believe it or not."

The man didn't want to bother with him any more, so he waved and left.

The man walked around a few more times, and the news he heard became more and more negative, making his face become uglier and uglier.

When Gu Sheng saw his expression, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Is his mental state so bad? Can such a small thing make him look so bad?"

"Yeah, it shouldn't be like this with his strength."

After Lan Yao finished speaking, Gu Sheng touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Let's go and ask around."

A few people waved their sleeves and wandered around as if they had nothing to do.

When he heard about the assassins, Gu Sheng's expression changed.

Several people looked at each other, no one spoke, but they quickened their pace.

After returning to the tent, Lan Yao couldn't wait to ask, "Who spread this news? Is there anyone else who found out about this besides us?"

Having said that, he quickly turned around and looked at Luochuan.

"is it you?"

"Of course not me. I have always been with you, and I obey my master's orders. If he doesn't allow me, I will naturally not tell him."

Seeing Luo Chuan looking somewhat unhappy, Gu Sheng hit Lan Yao on the shoulder.

"How could it be Luochuan? He is one of ours."

Hearing this, Lan Yao reacted and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I was confused for a moment and asked as soon as I opened my mouth. Luo Chuan, please don't be offended."

Seeing his attitude, Luo Chuan's face improved and he shook his head gently: "It's okay, it's my fault for having an unlucky surname."

"I think it was Lanhua and the others who released the news."

After Bai Yu spoke, Gu Sheng nodded.

"If it's not us, it can only be her."

"Gu Sheng, what is her purpose in doing this? To win our favor?"

"I don't know, but the matter is in our favor, so there's no need to delve into it. It looks like Luo Qin is doomed to fail to recruit anyone this time."

Looking at the crowd gathered together gossiping, they smiled and nodded.

"I guess so."

Late that night, Gu Sheng found the man again.

"Brother, do you still want to join the Qingcheng Sect?"

Looking at Gu Sheng, the man frowned again.

"How do you know these things?"

"Because I came from the city."

"Have you heard of this before?"

"No, I saw it with my own eyes."

Gu Sheng did not shy away from this, and his frank attitude made the man's expression look better.

After a long while, he asked, "What is your purpose in coming to me? Do you want me to join your sect?"

"That's right. Although you have restrained your aura, I can feel that the spiritual energy in you is extremely rich and pure like water, without any pollution. It is a top-notch spiritual body. It would be a blessing for any sect to be able to recruit you."

The man was surprised to hear Gu Sheng's words.

"Can you feel the spiritual energy in me?"

“Yes, and very clearly.”

This time, the man's eyes changed when he looked at him.

"I wonder where you come from, brother, to have such a high level of strength. If I'm not mistaken, brother is also trying to conceal his aura, right?"

"Yes, I don't want to cause trouble before the recruitment meeting begins, but I can still be honest with you. I am from Shitou Village. I wonder if you have heard of me?"

When he heard the words "Shitouzhai", the man's pupils trembled.

"I have heard of it. I have stayed outside the Stone Village and felt the changes brought about by the ebony there. I didn't expect you to be from the Stone Village."

"I didn't expect you to have stayed there. I wonder what you think of Shitou Village."

The man was silent for a long time and then asked: "Who are you from Shitou Village?"

Taking out the token, Gu Sheng said solemnly: "I am the village chief." Seeing the token, the man was obviously a little surprised.

"I have never seen their village leader before. I didn't expect to meet him here."

"I wonder if you are interested in Stone Village?"

Hearing this question again, the man pursed his lips slightly.

After a long silence, he whispered, "Let me think about it again..."

Gu Sheng didn't force him, but just nodded slightly.

"My name is Gu Sheng. You know where I'm staying. If you have made up your mind, just come find me."

"Okay, my name is Liu Ping. Even if I don't join Shitou Village in the end, we can still be friends."

Gu Sheng smiled and waved at him.

Seeing him coming back, Blue Demon hurried to meet him.

"Gu Sheng, how is it? Did he nod?"

"No, he said he would think about it again, but this person is indeed very powerful, even stronger than I expected."

"So powerful? No wonder he can hide it so well. Even we can't feel his true strength. Gu Sheng, did you find out his name?"

"He said his name was Liu Ping."

Bai Yu was surprised to hear this name.

"It's him. It is said that he has been in the martial arts world for many years and has cultivated a righteous spirit. He is enough to resist the fighting power of a small sect by himself. He is quite famous in the martial arts world, but he is a low-key person and few people know him. I didn't expect that you would take a fancy to him by accident. Gu Sheng, I have to say that you have a good eye."

Gu Sheng hadn't expected that this person had such a great reputation, and he became more and more satisfied.

At this time, Lan Yao asked: "Gu Sheng, do you think he will join Shitou Village in the end?"

"I think it's possible."

"why?"

"Because he has been around Stone Village before, he has felt the strength of Stone Village and can naturally feel the aura left by the Tiancang Sect. As long as he is smart, he will not make any other choice."

"What if he didn't choose Shitou Village in the end?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as someone of his strength doesn't join the Qingcheng Sect, it doesn't matter to us which sect he joins."

As soon as Gu Sheng said this, everyone suddenly understood.

"After hearing what you said, I feel much more relieved. It's a pity that I can't act under the name of our Baiyun Sect now, otherwise I would also like to recruit some talents."

Seeing Bai Yu's regretful look, Gu Sheng smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Don't feel sorry. Don't you still have Luo Chuan by your side? He is a very talented person. As long as you lead him well, he will definitely be no worse than Liu Ping."

"That's right, my apprentice is definitely the best. One day, I will make him stand out!"

Bai Yu is becoming more and more satisfied with Luo Chuan, and now he looks at him as if he is his beloved disciple.

"The Qingcheng Sect should be arriving soon. We will then take a good look at their background and see if they have any assassins. If they do, we will take action as soon as possible."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, everyone immediately became serious.

"Are we going to do it here?"

"That won't work. Let's do it on the way back. It will be easier."

"That recruitment meeting..."

"It doesn't make any sense to us. We are just here to cause trouble. As long as Qingcheng Sect can't recruit anyone, it's fine. Our purpose is to meet Luo Qin and test his bottom line."

"Okay, we all listen to you."

As the night deepened, everyone at the foot of the mountain fell into a deep sleep.

Under the moonlight, Liu Ping was the only one with a lot on his mind.

Two days later, everyone gathered together and Luo Qin finally showed up.

Seeing the Qingcheng Sect coming, everyone kept making faces and gossiping behind their backs.

Feeling the strange atmosphere, Luo Qin's eyes became more sinister.

His eyes swept across everyone's faces fiercely, and everyone immediately turned their heads away as if nothing had happened, but once his eyes turned away, they would start talking behind their backs again.

Luo Qin has always been arrogant, how could he tolerate this?
He called his men and said through gritted teeth, "Find out what they are talking about! We must find out!"

He waved his hand and his men immediately scattered.

At this time, Gu Sheng saw that his waist was covered with a cloth. It looked round and seemed to be used in the recruitment meeting, so he was so cautious.

Touching his chin and thinking about it, Gu Sheng laughed out loud.

He smiled and everyone was a little confused.

"Brother Sheng, what are you laughing at?" Shi Lou asked.

"I laugh at Luo Qin's things. Some of them are not very presentable."

Hearing this, Shi Lou's eyes lit up.

"Brother Sheng, what did he bring?"

"It should be a night-shining pearl."

"Ah? Night-shining pearl? How can he afford such a simple thing?"

"I guess he really couldn't come up with anything else, so he brought the Night Pearl. Luo Chuan, did you empty his family's assets?"

Looking at Luo Qin, Luo Chuan smiled very proudly.

"I guess so, otherwise he wouldn't embarrass himself like this. Now all the shopkeepers are unwilling to cooperate with him, and we have moved the two boxes away. It's good that he can take out the night pearl, but he may not have the chance to take it out."

Everyone thought about it and it was true. Luo Qin's reputation had been ruined again and again. It was estimated that there would be very few people who wanted to join the Qingcheng Sect, or even no one at all.

After all, it was a recruitment meeting, and there were so many people from the underworld and famous sects watching. Even if someone wanted to join the Qingcheng Sect, they probably couldn't bring themselves to do so. After all, those who could come here were all well-known and famous. Who would take the initiative to join a sect with flawed quality? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

"Let's go, it's almost time to enter. We'll follow behind them. Baiyu, keep an eye on the rear to see if he has any tricks up his sleeve."

Understanding what he meant, Bai Yu nodded and could take a few steps behind.

A bell rang in the mountains and everyone hurried in.

Gu Sheng had been following behind Luo Qin, his eyes falling on him from time to time.

After a careful observation, Gu Sheng sneered repeatedly on his face.

When queuing to enter, he deliberately stretched out his hand together with Luo Qin. When their arms touched, Luo Qin frowned tightly.

"What are you robbing for? Are you worthy enough?"

Gu Sheng smiled apologetically, didn't say much, and took two steps back.

Secretly, Gu Sheng clenched his right hand tightly, his fingertips circling around again and again, then he threw it into the storage ring and turned away.

There were so many people at the moment, and the crowd was bustling. Gu Sheng squeezed in the crowd and left, and basically no one noticed.

Gu Sheng flashed into the darkness, and before he had time to feel Bai Yu's breath, he suddenly found someone behind him.

Startled, he immediately grasped the Fire Spirit Dagger, and when he turned around, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Seeing the murderous look in his eyes, Liu Ping felt his heart tremble suddenly and he immediately stepped back.

"Brother Gu, it's me."

Seeing that it was him, the murderous look in Gu Sheng's eyes slowly dissipated.

"Why follow me?"

"Didn't you say you would give me an answer after you thought it through? I think I have thought it through." (End of this chapter)
