Gu Changqing and Jiang Qingcheng returned to Qingyun Sect in no time.
On the way back to the sect, I saw many disciples gathered together, discussing something in hushed tones.
"Hey, did you hear? I heard our sect leader is about to emerge from seclusion," one of the disciples said with a hint of gossip.
"Really? Is this news reliable? Our sect leader has been in seclusion for a long time, and there's been no word of her coming out. Where did you hear this news from? It can't be fake, can it?" Another disciple asked, clearly not believing it and somewhat skeptical.
"Yeah, you're the most gossipy one among us. Where did you get this rumor from? It can't be fake, can it?" one of the disciples said with a suspicious look.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you guys so distrustful? This information came from one of Elder Liu's disciples, how could it be false?" The disciple explained earnestly, seeing that they all doubted him.
"Oh, so the news came from Elder Liu. Then it's probably true!" After hearing his words, the disciples felt that what he said was probably true!
…………
Although their words were not loud, they had already reached Gu Changqing's ears.
Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said gently to Jiang Qingcheng, "You go back first, I'm going to Elder Liu's place."
"Yes, my husband!" Jiang Qingcheng smiled faintly and said directly.
Then, Gu Changqing headed in the direction where Elder Liu was.
At this moment, there were no disciples in the sect's main hall, only Elder Liu was present.
Elder Liu was leisurely sipping tea in the main hall when he saw Gu Changqing approaching from afar. He was slightly taken aback and quickly said, "Chief Gu, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"
"Of course there's something going on. I just overheard some other disciples chatting, saying that our sect leader is about to emerge from seclusion. Is it true or just a rumor?" Gu Changqing asked with a faint smile and a puzzled look.
Elder Liu smiled slightly and said in a serious tone, "That is indeed the case. The sect leader is indeed about to emerge from seclusion. If nothing unexpected happens, she should emerge from seclusion within three days."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing was overjoyed and said excitedly, "We've been waiting for this day and night, and finally the sect leader has emerged from seclusion."
"Yes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Once the sect leader comes out, I can finally relax a bit," Elder Liu said with a faint smile and a relaxed expression.
"Elder Liu, you're really not being fair. You didn't even tell me, Gu, that the sect leader was about to leave seclusion. I've helped you so many times before!" Gu Changqing said, pouting.
He had repeatedly inquired with Elder Liu about when the sect leader would emerge from seclusion, and Elder Liu had promised to inform him promptly if there was any news, but now there was none, which made him somewhat annoyed.
Elder Liu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Chief Gu, it was my oversight. I should have told you as soon as I received the news, but it got out before I could tell you. I'm speechless. But no matter what, it's still my fault. I hope Chief Gu won't be angry."
Hearing Elder Liu say this, Gu Changqing was no longer angry. After all, no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes.
"Never mind, I'm not that petty," Gu Changqing waved his hand and said directly.
Elder Liu smiled broadly and asked sincerely, "When the sect leader comes out of seclusion, should we go and greet her?"
"I personally think it's necessary to greet the sect leader. After all, she's been in seclusion for so long, and she's worked hard. Even if she hasn't achieved anything, she has still put in the effort. Our greeting will make her feel some comfort and warmth," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, getting straight to the point.
“Yes, Chief Gu is right. Let’s do it that way. Chief Gu must come!” Elder Liu smiled and invited sincerely.
"Of course, I also want to know what the sect leader has been doing in seclusion these past few days. I also want to let the sect leader see the changes that have taken place in the sect while she was away, as well as my own transformation. I believe the sect leader will be quite surprised and won't recognize me then," Gu Changqing said with a smile, looking confident.
He could even picture the shocked expression on the beautiful sect leader's face.
After the beautiful sect leader emerged from seclusion and saw the tremendous changes that had taken place in the sect, she probably regretted having been in seclusion for so long.
"Furthermore, I, Gu, also plan to give the beautiful sect leader a big gift, to let her know that we have managed the sect very well while she was away," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
Elder Liu smiled and asked with great curiosity, "I wonder what gift Chief Gu is giving to the Sect Master? Could you reveal a little about it so I can have a reference?"
“Of course, but Elder Liu can’t replicate this gift that I’m giving you, and no one else can imitate it either, because this gift is unique. However, Elder Liu may need to gather some people.” Gu Changqing said with a smile and a smug look on his face.
"Who are you summoning? Chief Gu, please explain clearly, otherwise how can I assist you?" Elder Liu asked, completely bewildered.
"I won't keep you in suspense any longer. The gift I want to give the Sect Master is to pass on the Great Emperor title to all the disciples of our Qingyun Sect. Not only that, but even the sect's watchdogs will inherit the Great Emperor title. This way, when the Sect Master emerges from seclusion, she will see just how awesome our Qingyun Sect is now. She will be very happy. This is also a small token of my appreciation." Gu Changqing smiled faintly and got straight to the point.
Elder Liu was shocked upon hearing this. He had originally planned to learn from Chief Gu's experience, but he never expected that his gift would be so special. He really couldn't imitate it, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
"Chief Gu is so generous! Our Qingyun Sect is so lucky to have you. When will Chief Gu start passing on his skills to the other disciples?" Elder Liu gave Gu Changqing a thumbs up and said with admiration.
Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said in a serious tone, "There's no time like the present, so let's do it today, right now. Elder Liu, you can summon the disciples to the sect's main hall now. Anyone whose cultivation level has not reached the Great Emperor level can come and receive the teachings."
Elder Liu didn't dare to delay upon hearing this, and immediately ordered someone to ring the sect's bell to expedite the process.
Upon hearing the bell, the sect's disciples were all puzzled, wondering what had happened. However, they dared not delay and immediately put down what they were doing and headed to the sect's main hall.
