The special Gu family
Su Yu saw this and said, "So it is Elder Gu. I have heard other Elders mention you before. Come, sit down and let us talk."
Ling Wanqing saw this scene and stood up to brew tea, "Elder Gu, please wait a moment. The tea will be ready soon."
Gu Qing cupped his hands, "Many thanks for your hospitality, you two."
As the fragrance of tea filled the courtyard, Ling Wanqing poured a cup of tea for Gu Qing who was before her.
"I have long heard of the matters concerning Elder Su and Elder Ling, and I have been trying to find time to pay a visit."
"But the two of you were either in seclusion or not within the Sect. Now, I finally have the opportunity."
"I came here for a reason, which is that I have arranged a banquet outside, and I hope you can attend. It is also an opportunity for us to get to know each other."
"The other newly arrived Elders will all be attending."
Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu; such matters were always decided by Su Yu.
Su Yu nodded, "No problem."
"That is great. Gather at this location in three days."
After saying this, he gave the two of them an invitation.
"Then I shall not disturb the two Elders any further. See you in three days."
Watching Gu Qing's retreating figure.
Ling Wanqing spoke up, "This Gu Qing is not simple. The power within his body is not right, and ordinary people really cannot discern this kind of power."
"I do not know what purpose he has for coming to the Star Sea Sect, but his ability is quite special."
Su Yu saw this. He was also aware of it; he had known since the moment this Gu Qing arrived at the Star Sea Sect.
This Gu Qing's Family is not simple. It can be said to be the same as the Zhou Family; it is a Hidden Family.
But this Gu Family is different; the number of people in the Gu Family can be said to be extremely small.
It can be said that there is almost no one in the Spirit Domain who knows about the Gu Family, and this is because of that ability of theirs.
But it is also because of this ability that their Family suffered a backlash, leading them to be on the verge of extinction.
The Gu Family has a special ability. Not everyone has this ability, but everyone who possesses it can be said to be a "protagonist."
Of course, this ability has no effect on Ling Wanqing, and it is even more so for him.
Su Yu said, "It seems this Gu Qing has some objective."
"Perhaps something will happen at this banquet; this can be considered a trap."
"Does this ability have any effect on you?"
"It has no effect on me. I can help you so that you are not affected either."
Su Yu saw this and said, "That is good. Then we shall just see what he intends to do."
Time quickly reached the agreed-upon day.
Su Yu and his companion were already heading to the place of this gathering.
It was right in the Market near the Star Sea Sect.
The two arrived at the Restaurant for this gathering. This Restaurant had been booked out by Gu Qing.
There were people guarding the entrance, and Gu Qing was waiting on the side.
Su Yu and his companion walked over.
Gu Qing immediately came forward, "Elder Su, Elder Ling, you are here. Please come in quickly; there are quite a few Elders inside."
"I still need to receive other Elders, please excuse me."
Ling Wanqing took Su Yu's arm and walked inside.
Upon entering, many Elders noticed the two. After all, they were Body Integration Stage Elders.
Their status in the Star Sea Sect was self-evident.
Some old acquaintances among the Elders also greeted the two one after another; there were some Elders with whom Su Yu had a decent relationship.
There were also those who invited the two to walk together, but Su Yu politely declined.
But those Elders who had newly joined the Sect were different.
Most were in the Soul Transformation or Void Refining stages, and they had quite a few thoughts regarding the arrival of Su Yu and his companion.
Su Yu and his companion found a seat and sat down.
When the two sat down, many newly arrived Elders took action, coming before the two to greet them and bring up various topics.
Su Yu and his companion simply responded to them.
As time passed, the number of Elders inside gradually increased.
Among them were some other Body Integration Stage Elders who had also been invited by him.
Just at this moment, the appearance of a figure caused many of the newly arrived Elders to exclaim.
"It is Elder Xue who has come. I did not expect her to attend this time."
The person who arrived was a woman.
Her plain clothes were whiter than snow, her hair was styled like flowing clouds, her figure was slender and upright, and her skin was as white and lustrous as the first snow reflecting the moon. That stunningly beautiful face captivated many.
Xue Shenyue was one of the Elders of the Star Sea Sect.
Her appearance was outstanding, her abilities were excellent, and her cultivation had even reached the Body Integration Stage. She was one of the famous figures in the Star Sea Sect.
In the Star Sea Sect, her appearance was second only to Mistress Yun.
She also had a great many suitors. So far, no one had heard of her being interested in anyone; she did not have the same personality as Mistress Yun.
She was of the cold and aloof type.
Her arrival surprised many; they had not expected her to actually come.
This instantly made her the focus of the crowd.
Su Yu saw this and thought it was good; he could have some peace and quiet on his side.
Xue Shenyue did not pay attention to too many things and found a seat to sit down.
As for those Elders who came to greet her, she only nodded in acknowledgement.
Su Yu also heard the words of some Elders nearby.
"As expected of Elder Xue. She is like a cold and aloof Fairy; it really makes it hard for people to look away. I wonder which young lad will be the lucky one in the future."
"We can only be envious."
As time passed, the Elders who were coming here had basically all arrived.
Gu Qing had managed to invite quite a few Elders to come.
Some were shocked by Gu Qing's ability; a new Elder was actually able to invite so many Elders.
This was extraordinary. Even someone like Elder Xue could be invited; under normal circumstances, this Elder Xue would not participate in such activities.
Many Elders began to have some different thoughts, which was that this Gu Qing could be befriended.
Su Yu and his companion were just watching from the side.
Gu Qing looked at the assembled Elders, feeling a bit of regret in his heart.
There were still quite a few Elders who had not come, especially Mistress Yun. He had not expected her to be away; it was truly a pity.
Getting these people handled would be the same.
Gu Qing came to the center of the crowd, gave a brief speech, and then the banquet began.
Many Elders began to get to know people; at this moment, they felt that this gathering was quite useful.
Seeing this, Gu Qing also began his "making acquaintances."
Gu Qing started continuously striking up conversations with various Elders, and those Elders were very welcoming to Gu Qing.
Immediately after, Gu Qing came to Xue Shenyue's side. No one knew what they said.
However, Xue Shenyue seemed a bit different; she spoke more than usual, and the cold expression on her face had faded quite a bit.
Gu Qing did not linger too long by Xue Shenyue's side.
Instead, he continued to get to know some Elders, and before long, he arrived beside Su Yu and his companion.
After chatting about some topics with the two, he left.
Ling Wanqing said, "This Gu Qing is really not simple; this ability is indeed 'impressive'."
