Chapter 79: Gu He's Pretentiousness
🕑 Added 2023-06-02 15:29:59 +0000 UTCAt the back mountain of Misty Cloud Sect, countless pavilions and palaces stood among the clouds and mist, creating a picturesque scene like a fairyland. The elders, disciples, and even the Sect Master Yun Yun resided in the back mountain.
At the peak of the back mountain, there was a spacious courtyard, enveloped by a beautiful landscape and a pleasant environment. It was here that Hun Tiandi and Xiao Yi Xian were arranged to reside.
...
Xiao Yi Xian spoke up, "I'm curious, what is your relationship with Yun Yun, the Sect Master of Misty Cloud Sect?"
During their journey, Xiao Yi Xian had already learned about Yun Yun's identity, and now they were in Misty Cloud Sect.
If she still couldn't see through Yun Yun's relationship with them, then she would truly be a foolish woman.
Hun Tiandi kept his eyes closed, resting, and upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's question, he chose not to open his eyes and replied, "Just a person I saved."
"Just a person you saved?" Xiao Yi Xian repeated, not believing it.
As women, she could sense that Yun Yun didn't treat Hun Tiandi as a mere person who saved her life. Xiao Yi Xian's intuition told her that Yun Yun liked him.
"If not?" Hun Tiandi asked, looking at Xiao Yi Xian, his eyes finally open.
Xiao Yi Xian expressed her opinion, "I feel like Yun Yun, the Sect Master, seems to like you."
"She likes me?" Hun Tiandi responded, neither confirming nor denying, "There are too many women who like me, she is just one of them."
"I have saved her life, it's just your over-sensitivity," he added.
"But..." Xiao Yi Xian wanted to refute, but Hun Tiandi interrupted her, saying, "Go and open the door! We have a visitor?"
"A visitor?" Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words...
Xiao Yi Xian was puzzled.
They were unfamiliar with this place, Misty Cloud Sect. Apart from knowing Yun Yun as the Sect Master, they didn't know anyone else. Who could be visiting them?
Although she was curious, Xiao Yi Xian followed Hun Tiandi's request and went to the front door.
She opened the door. Just as she opened it, she saw Gu He and his disciple, who were about to knock on the door.
"A woman?" Gu He was stunned when he saw Xiao Yi Xian opening the door. He was taken aback. They were supposed to meet a pretty boy, how did it turn out to be a woman?
Gu He looked at Liu Ling, as if questioning him, "What the hell is going on? Where is the pretty boy?"
Liu Ling was also shocked. The information he inquired about clearly indicated that the pretty boy lived here! How come a woman opened the door?
This woman was not bad. Although she lacked the overwhelming aura, her temperament was ethereal. It gave people a feeling of first love. Liu Ling thought to himself.
But soon, he fully realized what was going on. Wasn't this woman the one who was with the pretty boy? With this realization, Liu Ling hurriedly said, "Master, this is indeed the place."
"So, she's the one?" Gu He maintained a hint of doubt.
"She is..." Liu Ling was about to explain, but Xiao Yi Xian spoke first, "You two must be the visitors he mentioned, right?"
"Please come in." Saying that, Xiao Yi Xian turned and walked into the courtyard. As for whether these two would enter or not, it was up to them.
"Him?" Gu He keenly sensed the presence of "him."
Gu He could confirm. They had come to the right place. He stepped inside. He was now eager to see. Who was it? Who had intercepted his goddess? Where did he get the courage?
Seeing Gu He, his master, walk in, Liu Ling didn't hesitate and quickly followed.
In the living room, Hun Tiandi sat in the seat of honor, resembling a host. Xiao Yi Xian stood by the side.
"Damn..." Gu He looked at Hun Tiandi and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart. "Is this guy slightly more handsome than me? It's not just a little, it's a billion times more!"
Gu He was an extraordinary person. He quickly snapped out of it and realized that even if Hun Tiandi was handsomer than him, so what?
In this world where strength reigns supreme, handsomeness was nothing more than an accessory. Strength and status were the key.
At that moment, Gu He finally understood why the other people called him a pretty boy. He was fair and tender! He exuded the air of a scholar. This guy was just a pretty boy.
The first impression he gave was that of a pretty boy. No strength to speak of. Such a person. It seemed like they could only lie beneath others and never experience the joy of being on top.
Gu He thought of what Yun Yun had said in the hall earlier and thought, "Is this it? Can this guy, who appears to have no strength, really have saved Yun Yun? Is that possible?"
...
Before Hun Tiandi could speak, Gu He introduced himself, "Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Gu He, an alchemy elder of Misty Cloud Sect, a sixth-grade alchemist. My friends from the Jia Ma Empire respect me and call me the Pill King."
Gu He wanted to suppress the other party's arrogance. As he finished speaking, he looked at the other person.
Gu He hoped to see a hint of surprise or shock on the other person's face, but he was disappointed.
The other party remained unchanged, unusually calm, as if he hadn't heard Gu He's words at all. This made Gu He feel slightly embarrassed and he wondered, "Could this person be deaf?"
Hun Tiandi maintained a poker face. A mere sixth-grade alchemist was nothing more than an ant in his eyes. Did he come here to pretend and act serious in front of him?
In the Soul Clan, in the alchemy hall of the Soul Clan, a sixth-grade alchemist was nothing more than worthless trash. It was only in this remote region that they regarded a sixth-grade alchemist as something valuable.
...
While Hun Tiandi remained calm, Xiao Yi Xian standing next to him couldn't maintain her composure upon hearing Gu He's words. She exclaimed, "So you're an alchemist? And a sixth-grade alchemist, the Pill King Gu He?"
Xiao Yi Xian had always dreamed of becoming an alchemist, but she didn't have the qualifications to do so. She could only strive to become a physician.
Unexpectedly, she was now able to meet the most powerful alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire. It was truly an unexpected joy.
"Eh..." For some reason, upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's exclamation and seeing her shocked expression, Gu He felt no joy at all.
Instead, he felt like he had been slapped in the face, ignored. He believed that Xiao Yi Xian's surprise and shock were all just an act. Because of this perception, Gu He felt somewhat displeased.
"Hmph!" Gu He glared at Xiao Yi Xian and let out a cold snort.
"This..." Xiao Yi Xian looked confused upon seeing Gu He's reaction. What's going on?
Xiao Yi Xian knew that alchemists were aloof and had peculiar temperaments, especially some high-level alchemists. However, she didn't expect Gu He to have such a peculiar temperament.
She was simply shocked and amazed, but did he have to glare at her like that? What kind of person was he? And claiming to be a sixth-grade alchemist? Could he be a fake?
"Hmph!" Xiao Yi Xian also coldly snorted at Gu He without any politeness and turned her head away
