The Gongsun Brothers, unwilling to give up, lingered in Gongdao Village for two days. Gu Shaofeng hadn't left either. Every day, he strolled around the village or hung out in the herb garden with a slender, beautiful girl. The Gongsun Brothers pretended not to notice, hiding in the distance to watch Gu Shaofeng. They could sense that his cultivation was higher than theirs and that he was an expert in Ancient Martial Arts, so they naturally didn't dare make a rash move to steal the herbs. Straining their ears, they overheard a conversation between Gu Shaofeng and the girl. She said she loved it here; the air was fresh and the food was especially delicious. He replied, "Then let's just stay. It's not like you have school or work right now. Grandma and Auntie raise so many chickens and ducks. They can make you soup every day and fatten you up like you used to be. Then we can go back and take care of business!"
