Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan and asked, "What are your plans for coming back this time? Are you going to stay here any longer? In my opinion, I think it would be better for you to go out and gain some experience. At least you can see something different. Staying here and continuing to train is not a good choice. The environment here is not only harsh, but also, with your fire attribute, training here can achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, you will always get tired from practicing. Practicing blindly will only make you stuck in a dead end, which will not benefit your practice. If you only practice here for a short period of time, your strength can grow faster, but if you continue like this, I can guarantee that your strength will basically not improve too quickly."
Gu Yuan nodded and said in agreement, "You're right. That's what I was thinking. So after cultivating there for less than a month, and having successfully broken through two levels to become a ninth-level spiritual master, I came out. In fact, with the resources I have, such as water, I could have held on for a while longer, but after thinking about it, I decided to give up. After all, you're right. In this endless desert with yellow sand all over the sky, I'm afraid my mentality will be affected if I continue to cultivate for a long time. Every day, the sky is filled with yellow sand and it's gray. I can hardly see a single person, and even if I do, I have to be vigilant all the time, never relaxing. I'm in a state of high mental tension every day. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll collapse before I even break through."
Gu Ting nodded and smiled, "It's good that you know that continuing like this is not a good thing. I just reminded you casually. Now that you know, I feel relieved. So the question is, tell me, what are your plans for going out next?"
Gu Yuan nodded. "You're right. I left the desert and came here because I wanted to ask you for help. I'll leave after this matter is settled, because I have some more important things waiting for me to do."
"What do you need my help with? Isn't it about that matter where I asked you to accompany you to the Mu family to ask Mu Tianxing for the spiritual medicine that belongs to you? I have already promised you this. When you plan to go, I can make preparations in advance. After all, the Mu family is not a small force. Their strength is on par with our Gu family. Even if they are not much worse, they are not much worse. Mu Tianxing is a genius in their family. Now that Mu Tianxing has suppressed his realm to the seventh level of spiritual master and failed in the battle with you, I have heard about it in Sand City. This means that this matter has been spread, and it has also made Mu Tianxing lose face. Obviously, this matter has brought shame to the Mu family's status, so I think there are still many dangers for you to go to the Mu family this time. Besides, whether Mu Tianxing dares to give you the spiritual medicine is another matter. If he doesn't, he will lose face. Even if I go, there is nothing I can do. You must understand this in your heart. Even if I go, I may not succeed."
"Of course I know this, so you don't need to remind me." Gu Yuan continued, "What I just said about wanting your help wasn't about this matter. I think we can put it aside for now, or we can deal with it in a couple of days. After that, I want you to do me a favor. It's about finding out some information about a girl.
Gu Ting asked with great interest: "Oh? News about the girl. Which girl do you want me to help you find out about? You don't like her, do you? Tell me the truth, which girl do you like? My Gu family has a lot of influence in Gumo City. As long as you are from nearby, you can tell me which family the girl is from and I can basically help you find out about her. But I tell you that finding out is just finding out. You can't rely on your own strength to harm decent women. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance. If you really do that, I will be rude to you. Helping is helping, but you must be a little sensible, otherwise I will become your accomplice."
Gu Yuan shook his head speechlessly and said, "What kind of person do you think I am? I would never do such a thing. The person I want you to help me find is a very cute girl named Shui Yaoyao. I don't know if you have heard of this name yet. She is a very important person to me. I must find her. The purpose of my coming here is to find her whereabouts and take her away. Can you think about whether you have heard of this name before? If not, can you tell me if there are any forces or sects around, or where there are people with this surname?"
Gu Ting frowned now. The surname Shui was indeed quite rare. From childhood to adulthood, she had never heard of any company or anyone with the surname Shui in China or anywhere else.
But it could also be me. My limited knowledge might be a factor, but I truly haven't heard of it. How about this, I can go back and ask around for you, ask the family elders and my father—they're knowledgeable and have been out there before. They should know more than I do. There's no time to lose. I'll go back now. You wait here for me, tomorrow. I'll bring you an answer the day after tomorrow, and I'll let you know if there's any news then."
Gu Yuan nodded. "Hmm, then it's settled. If anyone in your family knows who this person is and wants to go to the bottom lane, please let me know. To make it easier for you to find out the information, I'll draw a picture for you to take back with you. That way, you might be able to better understand the information." Without hesitation, he took out a piece of paper from his space ring, picked up the pen and ink next to it, and drew a picture on the machine. It was exactly what Shui Yaoyao looked like. Although the drawing wasn't very pretty, both in terms of expression and other aspects, it was more consistent with Shui Yaoyao's appearance. It was obvious at a glance that this girl was a very lovely girl.
Gu Ting smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the girl you found would be so cute. No wonder she kept you concerned for so long."
Gu Yuan was speechless.
"This girl is just my friend. I have no other relationship with her. Don't think too much about it."
Gu Ting smiled and said, "Okay, okay, since you said so, then let's do it this way."
