The person waiting for Yang Kai outside the Alchemist Pavilion was none other than Shen Tu.
Shen Tu hurriedly replied to Yang Kaiβs question, βMy father asked me to wait for you here.β
βWhat does President Ai Ou want to ask me?β Yang Kai asked.
βNothing. Itβs just thatβ¦ Little Mother is awake. I just came to thank you personally after finding out that you refined the pill for her. Brother Yang, if you are free, can you come with me?β Shen Tu asked earnestly.
βSure.β Yang Kai nodded his agreement.
The duo started walking side by side the next moment.
Gu Bi Huβs awakening didnβt come as a surprise to Yang Kai. After all, Ai Ou had given a drop of Immortal Source Liquid to Gu Bi Hu before, healing all her physical wounds. The reason why she was in a coma was that her Soul was injured.
And a Soul Source Restoration Pill was the perfect remedy for this.
Whatβs more, the Soul Source Restoration Pill refined by Yang Kai had Pill Veins. Its medicinal efficacy was several times stronger than a normal Soul Source Restoration Pill. After having her Soul nourished by this pill, it would be strange if Gu Bi Hu didnβt wake up. Her Soul might even gain some extra benefits with the help of that pill.
All along the way, Shen Tu kept peeking glances at Yang Kai from time to time. There was a strange look on his face, like he had something to say.
Yang Kai smiled and asked, βBrother Shen Tu, is something the matter? If you want to ask something, just ask. You and I arenβt outsiders.β
The corners of Shen Tuβs mouth twitched. He immediately asked, looking serious, βI just want to know, are you really an Origin King Grade Alchemist? Did you really refine that pill?β
He had known Yang Kai for a long time. They might not have had much interaction with each other, but he had never thought that Yang Kai would make great progress in Martial Dao while also taking such incredible strides in Alchemic Dao.
[Compared to him, my Origin Returning Realm cultivation is simply nothing!]
He used to boast about his talents, but now, Shen Tu was completely ripped to pieces.
βI am indeed an Origin King Grade Alchemist and that pill was also refined by me.β Yang Kai nodded his acknowledgement.
Shen Tu slapped his thigh in annoyance and said, βSo itβs true that you competed with Grandmaster Zuo De in Alchemy?β
βWell, has word already gotten around?β Yang Kai asked in surprise.
βIt has already become the talk of the entire city. There is no one in Water Sky City who doesnβt know about this, everyone has heard of it.β Shen Tu continued with a saddened look, βHad I known, I would have come to Water Sky City with you. I really missed a good show. This Young Master has been unhappy with Zuo De for a long time. His face when he was beaten would have been an incredible sight. I would have surely enjoyed it.β
Yang Kai smiled but didnβt say anything.
βBut Brother Yang, do you know my Little Mother?β
βNo. Why?β
βIf you hadnβt met her, why were you willing to use two thousand years of your freedom to compete with Zuo De in Alchemy? When my Little Mother came to know of this, she scolded my father for not stopping you.β
Yang Kai replied with a smile, βBecause I knew that I wouldnβt lose. So it didnβt matter how big the ante was.β
Shen Tu couldnβt help but raise his thumb up to Yang Kai when he heard this. He immediately said, βAnyway, you have left a good impression on my Little Mother. You will know when you meet her.β
While talking, the two soon arrived before a manor.
They were still inside Water Sky City but the surrounding environment here was extremely beautiful and quiet. Obviously, this was the place where Gu Bi Hu was recuperating. The entire manor was surrounded by all sorts of powerful Spirit Arrays, and when Yang Kai scanned with his Divine Sense, he was secretly shocked by how strong these barriers were.
When they entered the manor, a small bridge over a stream entered their sights while melodious chimes of musical instruments rang in their ears, which made them feel relaxed and happy.
Shen Tu brought Yang Kai all the way inside and no one stopped them.
A short while later, they arrived at the deepest part of the manor, a simple-looking house within a purple bamboo forest.
Yang Kai could sense three people inside the bamboo house. One was President Ai Ou, another was Xue Yue, and the last was unfamiliar to him. Obviously, it was Gu Bi Hu.
Shen Tu stood still outside the bamboo house and reported aloud, βFather, I have brought Brother Yang.β
βCome in!β Ai Ouβs voice immediately came from inside the house.
Shen Tu smiled at Yang Kai, inviting him in. βBrother Yang, please.β
Yang Kai nodded and walked straight in.
Just as he entered the bamboo house, Yang Kai immediately felt three pairs of eyes gazing at him.
Before Yang Kai could look around the room, President Ai Ou rushed over and patted Yang Kaiβs shoulder hard, laughing. βBrother Yang, this Ai canβt thank you enough. If it werenβt for you, it would be impossible for my wife to wake up this easily.β
He patted very hard, maybe even using Saint Qi as when the thick and robust palm fell on his shoulders, a resounding clap was heard inside the house.
Xue Yue stood gawking with a strange look on her face.
The corners of Yang Kaiβs mouth couldnβt help but twitch. He immediately cupped his fest and said, βPresident Ai Ou, you are too polite. Xue Yue and I are friends. Itβs nothing worth mentioning.β
βIt might be nothing to you, but it was a life-saving grace for my wife and me. This Ai can never forget it.β Ai Ouβs face turned solemn.
Yang Kai smiled but didnβt say anything, rather, he gazed to the other side.
Ever since he had entered the room, a pair of bright eyes had been constantly looking at him with scrutiny.
The owner of these eyes was naturally Gu Bi Hu.
When Yang Kai looked back at her, Gu Bi Hu just smiled at Yang Kai.
She didnβt seem to be very old, appearing to be in her twenties or thirties while her Martial Dao cultivation had reached the peak of the Origin Returning Realm. Perhaps because she had just woken up, her face was a little pale, but this gave her the appearance of a sick beauty.
Sure enough, she was a woman that could topple a nation with her beauty. Yang Kai had guessed it already, otherwise, Ai Ou would not have attached such great importance to her.
βAre you Grandmaster Yang? You are truly a dragon among men, really extraordinary,β Gu Bi Huβs gentle voice resounded in the house as her lips parted. Her voice might be very light but it sounded very clear.
Yang Kaiβs expression changed. He subconsciously felt that there was something wrong when he heard Gu Bi Hu praised him like this, because she was just an Origin Returning Realm master and he was a Second-Order Origin King. She was speaking to him like an elder treating her junior, which was a bit rude, emotionally and reasonably.
However, Yang Kai didnβt give it that much thought. He cupped his fists and greeted, βGreetings, Mrs. Gu!β
Gu Bi Hu coughed a few times before replying with a smile, βGrandmaster Yang, you are too polite. You have saved my life, and I should have been the one to come to you and thank you personally. Itβs just that Iβm not in a state to walk around, so I can only ask Shen Tu to invite you over. I hope Grandmaster Yang wonβt blame me?β
βHow could I dare! Mrs. Gu is Xue Yueβs elder, and Xue Yue and I are friends. I should be the one to come and visit.β
Gu Bi Hu nodded gently as if she was satisfied with Yang Kaiβs attitude, which confused the nearby Ai Ou.
He hurriedly said, βMy wife and I were still discussing how to thank you. But I still canβt think of a good way to thank you. Letβs do it like this: Brother Yang, how about you tell us what you want? As long as this Ai can do it, Iβll definitely fulfil it.β
Yang Kaiβs eyes immediately lit up. He couldnβt help but look at Xue Yue.
Xue Yue immediately averted her eye feeling his gaze. She was pretending to be calm.
A smile suddenly bloomed over Gu Bi Huβs face, who was silently watching all this. She then said in a gentle voice, βI have an idea.β
βOh? Dear, if you have thought of something, you might as well tell them.β Ai Ou was overjoyed, hurriedly looking at her.
Gu Bi Hu smiled but didnβt say anything. She just beckoned Xue Yue and Yang Kai to come over.
The couple glanced at each other. They had no idea what Gu Bi Hu wanted to do. But they had no choice but to approach her bedside.
Gu Bi Hu reached out and grabbed Xue Yue and Yang Kaiβs hands with each hand before joining them in the middle. She then looked at Yang Kai with a smile before asking, βGrandmaster Yang, what do you think? Are you satisfied with this gift?β
Yang Kai was in a daze momentarily. But very soon, he broke into laughter and replied with admiration, βMrs. Gu sure is beautiful and intelligent. This Yang is very satisfied with this gift.β
Xue Yue too was dumbstruck for a while. After she came to understand what Gu Bi Hu actually meant, her pretty face flushed red all over. She stomped her feet in shame and said, βLittle Motherβ¦β
Ai Ouβs eyes widened as he kept watching from the sidelines for a while. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He asked in astonishment, βDear, whatβs the meaning of this?β
βDonβt you understand?β Gu Bi Hu shot a glance at Ai Ou as she explained in a leisure manner, βGrandmaster Yang has been aware of Xue Yueβs secret all the while. The two might even be in love too!β
βWhat!?β Ai Ou was quite taken aback by this revelation and his previous amiable attitude could not be found anywhere. Rather, he was glaring at Yang Kai with hostility.
Yang Kai paid no heed to his hostility and smiled slightly. βMrs. Gu is indeed right. I already knew that Xue Yue was a woman a long time ago. Butβ¦ How did Mrs. Gu know? I donβt think I have revealed anything to make it that obvious! And I believe Xue Yue wonβt have told you about it.β
Gu Bi Hu smiled gently as she explained, βItβs very simple. You and I donβt know each other, but you still staked two thousand years of your freedom to bet with Grandmaster Zuo De for me. Why? Since I donβt have anything to make you do that, and neither does my husband, there can only be one reason, and thatβs Xue Yue. A man will only pay such a price for his woman.β
Yang Kai looked stunned. βSo to say, Mrs. Gu guessed it after waking up?β
βMhmm, but it was just a guess, I wasnβt sure. Thatβs why I asked you to come over. And through my observationsβ¦ I was sure.β
βMrs. Gu is truly brilliant!β Yang Kai exclaimed in wonder. If she could conclude that Xue Yue and he are deeply in love with such little information, she was not an ordinary woman by any means.
Apparently, Gu Bi Hu was a beauty with brains.
βXue Yue, is this true?β Ai Ouβs old face was almost covered in a layer of frost as he asked this.
Xue Yue nibbled her red lips before nodding her head slightly.
βYouβ¦ you are really driving me mad!β Ai Ou looked angered and disappointed as if Xue Yue hadnβt lived up to his expectation. He had been training Xue Yue as the successor of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, but how could he have expected that Xue Yue would be in love with someone.
And when he recalled how he addressed Yang Kai as Brother Yang many times, Ai Ou couldnβt wait to look for a hole to crawl into. [No wonder this kid had such a strange expression at that time. So this was the reason!]
Considering all this, Ai Ou suddenly felt that he had suffered a big loss.
βXue Yue is no longer young and you have raised her as a boy since her birth. Are you going to make her pretend to be a man forever?β Gu Bi Hu glared at Ai Ou and asked seriously, βEvery woman has the right to pursue her own happiness, and Grandmaster Yang is the best choice. Be it by his character or appearance, he is worthy of Xue Yue. Whatβs more, both have feelings for each other, so just leave them alone.β
