Chapter 1040: Chapter 544: The Great Elder’s Gift Gu Sheng pushed open the door and saw the lonely figure of Young Master Bai by the window. Hearing the footsteps, he did not turn his head but said faintly, "Gu Sheng, don’t waste your thoughts on me. It’s not worth it." Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng sighed softly. "Do you not believe in me anymore?" "No, I don’t believe in myself." "Why don’t you believe?" "Perhaps... this is my fate..." Hearing his words, Gu Sheng clasped his right shoulder. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 "Do you believe in destiny?" "I didn’t before, but now I do." "What do you believe in? That destiny is arranged by the heavens or held in one’s own hands?" Before he could answer, Gu Sheng spoke solemnly, "I’ve always firmly believed that destiny is in one’s own hands. If I want to defy the heavens and change my fate, no one can stop me. Young Master Bai, do you want to defy the heavens and change your fate?" After Gu Sheng asked, he finally turned his head. When their eyes met, he subconsciously nodded. "I want to." With this response, Gu Sheng smiled. "Since you want to, then give yourself another chance." As he spoke, Gu Sheng took out silver needles without waiting and directly pierced them into his acupuncture points. Young Master Bai couldn’t break free, so he could only comply and endure. Two hours later, Gu Sheng removed the needles, and Lan Yao timely brought over the herbal medicine. Young Master Bai took the bowl of medicine, pondered for a long time, and finally drank it all in one go. Seeing him drink the medicine with Spirit Grass, everyone watched him intently. Feeling everyone’s gaze, Young Master Bai couldn’t help but take a step back. "Why are you all looking at me like this?" "Young Master Bai, do you feel anything in your legs?" Upon hearing this, Young Master Bai shook his head. At this point, Gu Sheng approached him and immediately pinched his acupuncture points. With a slight shake of his wrist, Spiritual Energy unique to the Spiritual Pearl flowed from his fingertips into Young Master Bai’s body. Detecting the surge of Spiritual Energy, Young Master Bai hurriedly closed his eyes and controlled his Dantian, allowing the Spiritual Energy to circulate through his body. Seeing him finally cooperate, Gu Sheng also closed his eyes, giving his all to treat him. Soon, both of them were enveloped by Spiritual Energy. Subsequently, the Spiritual Energy filled the entire courtyard, even faintly beginning to extend toward the sky. The members of the White Cloud Sect sensed this and immediately went to report to the Great Elder. Upon learning of this, the Great Elder hurried to the courtyard of Young Master Bai. Seeing the dense Spiritual Energy in the courtyard and the air, his hands trembled with excitement. "It seems Gu Sheng really has a way!" Upon hearing him, his subordinates eagerly asked, "Great Elder, can Gu Sheng truly heal the Young Master?" "In the whole world, he has the best chance!" "He’s just from Stone Village, yet he possesses such great abilities?" Upon hearing this, the Great Elder disapprovingly glared at his subordinates. "Many experts are hidden in the world. How can you judge people with such a cliched view? You are part of the White Cloud Sect, can you save the Young Master?" With that sentence, the Great Elder left his subordinates speechless. Seeing the Spiritual Energy still surging, he hurriedly took action, using his Divine Power to contain the Spiritual Energy, enveloping it entirely within Young Master Bai’s courtyard. Seeing him act, others also joined in to help. Feeling the Spiritual Energy becoming denser, Gu Sheng knew it was the work of the White Cloud Sect, allowing him to treat Young Master Bai without any restraint. For an entire night, no one dared to make any sudden movements inside or outside the courtyard. Until the sky began to lighten, Gu Sheng finally withdrew his hand, exhaling a heavy breath. Young Master Bai opened his eyes, looking at him with gratitude. "Gu Sheng, thank you for your hard work." Hearing this, Gu Sheng shook his head. "It’s nothing hard." "You’ve channeled Spiritual Energy for me all night. How can that not be tiring? Later I’ll have someone send you some tonic to recover." "No need, I dare release Spiritual Energy so freely because I have my ways of recovery. How do you feel now?" Looking at his own legs, Young Master Bai sighed softly. "I don’t feel any change." Hearing this, Gu Sheng felt somewhat dissatisfied. "You haven’t moved at all sitting there. How do you know there’s no change?" "The legs are on my body..." "If you want to get well, then move a bit. Stop dwelling on those discouraging words and thoughts. As the Young Master of the White Cloud Sect, you bear the responsibility of the entire Jianghu. If your mind is so unsettled and your resolve is so weak, won’t people look down on you?" After Gu Sheng spoke, Lan Yao also nodded. "Indeed, if people knew your name, everyone would think you are a perfect person. Even if not perfect, they wouldn’t imagine you being so weak, whining all the time, unable to take any setbacks. If I heard, I’d definitely laugh my head off." Lan Yao expressed her thoughts, and Gu Sheng did not stop her. Because the truth was, Young Master Bai’s ability to handle setbacks was truly weak. Perhaps he was overly protected by the White Cloud Sect, lamenting over even small matters. If he continued in this way, it’s unlikely he would achieve anything significant here in the future. Perhaps motivated by their words, Young Master Bai immediately stood up. "How am I as weak as you say? I am the Young Master of the White Cloud Sect, the strongest person in the world! Isn’t it just moving my legs? I’ll do it now!" As he spoke, he used his hands to prop up his legs, moving them gently. Soon, a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He turned to look at Gu Sheng, who smiled and nodded at him. With Gu Sheng’s reaction, he made another attempt, astonishingly placing both legs firmly on the ground! The tingling sensation that ensued filled him with immense joy. "Gu Sheng, I can feel my legs. I can stand up!" Just as he finished speaking, the Great Elder and others pushed the door open and entered.
