Shen Gu heard the tone of "Grandpa Shan" and felt that the expedition team seemed to be in danger.
But normally, the two people who stayed by the bridge as backup should not be in danger of falling off the bridge and dying.
But after seeing the white-bearded old man's "magical powers" with his own eyes, Shen Gu also understood that he couldn't use common sense to speculate on him.
"What you mean by this is that you don't want me to bring them in to live with me, right?"
Because he understood that there was a huge gap in strength between him and "Grandpa Shan", Shen Gu's tone when he said this was not at all angry, but completely full of helplessness.
"Grandpa Shan" poured another cup of tea for Shen Gu with his own hands, and said to him with a kind smile:
"Perhaps you will think it is very unkind of me to allow them to come in and accompany you."
"But you have to know that although this valley is different from the world that can be reached through the waterfall, it also has different laws from the world outside the valley."
"Because you have a system, I will allow you to enter here."
"What would they think if they entered here with the same ideological understanding as ordinary people and saw many supernatural phenomena in the valley?"
"Even if they are here because they are worried about me and promise to keep it secret after I go out, what if they regret it after I go out?"
"I don't want to live well here, but just because I am kind to you, I will cause endless trouble for myself in the future!"
When Shen Gu heard these words, he could understand the white-bearded old man's position.
However, after hearing this, he almost immediately thought of the example of someone who had been in this valley before and returned to the real world.
He glanced at Lin Mumu, and then asked "Grandpa Shan" using another person as an example:
"Although Dongfang Yun's replacement has lived here for the ten-year period that Dongfang Yun set for him before, he will still have the risk of leaking this place to the outside world after he leaves."
"Then why did you let him go anyway?"
After Shen Gu said this, the "very thrilling" wooden suspension bridge outside the valley suddenly appeared in his mind.
I was very surprised that the replacement of Dongfang Cloud, which had lost its system, could safely walk from the valley side to the other side of the bridge.
"Because he is different from the other people you mentioned. I have been with him for ten years and can fully understand him. Sooner or later he will come back here."
"So he will keep the things here secret from anyone except you who is very systematic!"
After listening to "Grandpa Shan"'s words, Shen Gu still refused to give up.
He made a guaranteed assumption about the old man with white beard and said:
"Since they can live forever here, I believe they won't want to leave after they come here."
But "Grandpa Shan" immediately shook his head without belief and said:
"It's no use, young man."
“Here, it’s useless for you to believe them, what’s important is that I believe them!”
Seeing the helpless and uncomfortable expression on Shen Gu's face, "Grandpa Shan" simply told Shen Gu another secret in order to make him feel better and to avoid being misunderstood by Shen Gu:
"Young man, don't feel sad, and don't think I'm unreasonable."
"Let me tell you the truth!"
"Even if I were willing to let them in, they wouldn't be able to gain immortality."
"Because my longevity tea will only be effective for people who have or have had the system."
"Even if they drink it, it won't have any effect."
"This is also the most important reason why I think they may leak the secrets here after they come and go out again!"
After hearing this, Shen Gu's remaining hope of convincing "Grandpa Shan" completely disappeared.

But he still wanted to "struggle" to spend more time with Su Ziqing.
He boldly assumed that Su Ziqing could "sacrifice freedom" for him, and used this assumption as a basis to ask "Grandpa Shan":
"If I can convince a person to stay here forever and never return to the outside world, can you allow her to come in?"
As for his parents who like to live abroad, Shen Gu no longer has any hope that they can stay here with him forever on the premise that they cannot live forever.
After all, although many things in this valley are very good, the conditions of the farmland outside can always ensure that the people here have no worries about food and drink.
But there is nothing here that can support the enjoyment of "technological products" in modern society.
Such as TV, mobile phone, Internet, etc.
Subsequently, the technological entertainment projects that the outside world can provide to ordinary people, such as movies, TV series, variety shows, etc., will not exist here.
To put it simply, the impression that this valley gave Shen Gu was a "paradise" that would allow him to live forever.
But although everything here is wonderful, it is still difficult for ordinary humans who are accustomed to the colorful world outside to want to stay here for the rest of their lives without being able to receive the same longevity treatment!
"Who is that person you are talking about?"
"You feel very much in love, does she also love you very much?"
The old man with the white beard showed an expression of "Child, you are too naive" and said:
"Perhaps she will be willing to accompany you here at first."
"But what about in a few months?"
"How many years from now?"
"Will there be a day when she insists on leaving, but finds that she can no longer leave, and then becomes resentful towards you?"
Shen Gu immediately thought of Su Ziqing's love of learning. He felt that if she had just come here not long ago, she would definitely be fascinated by the many supernatural phenomena here.
But as "Grandpa Shan" said, after she lived here for a while, she began to miss the outside world more and more.
Especially when she misses her mother, she can no longer leave her in the face of the invincible power of "Grandfather Mountain".
Then will she gradually resent herself for bringing her here in the first place, as "Grandpa Shan" said?
Shen Gu thought about this possibility for a few seconds before he dared not continue thinking about it.
"Then I will only ask Lin Mumu to take her to the other side of the bridge every year, and then I will go out of the valley to meet her and then come back. Then you can always allow it!"
This is the best way Shen Gu can think of to meet Su Ziqing more often on the premise of extending his own life.
But as soon as these words came out, before "Grandpa Shan" could express his stance, he immediately burst into a wry smile.
Yes, he immediately felt that if this was the case, he was completely wasting Su Ziqing's precious youth.
Since he no longer has the ability to accompany her for the rest of his fifty years, why should he see her every year and prevent her from living happily for the rest of her life?
"Looking at the way you looked after saying this, you should already know how stupid this approach is!"
The old man with the white beard did not laugh at Shen Gu this time. He just sighed pitifully for him and said:
"So I advise you, if there is anything else you can't let go of her."
While you still have 7 days left to live, you can spend more than 6 days out of the valley to have a complete end with her."
"Whether it ends sweetly, sadly, or quietly and peacefully."
"You have to come back here before the countdown of your life ends, and you can live in seclusion with me in peace from now on!"
