Chapter 424: Chapter 423: A Request for Help!

In response, Gu Yuan naturally smiled and indicated it was nothing. The two also understood that Gu Yuan must have something to attend to, so they wisely did not disturb him further and returned to their original position, giving Gu Yuan some space.

Gu Yuan then stood quietly waiting where he was.

After approximately more than half an hour, a stream of light flew over from the distant sky.

This stream of light was swift and agile, like a wisp of clear smoke, with no trace of mortal presence.

The escape light flew to the front of Medicine King Mountain’s gate and descended, landing right in front of Gu Yuan.

The light dissipated, revealing the demure and exquisite silhouette of a woman.

This woman’s appearance was extraordinarily beautiful, with bright and clear eyes that seemed to speak.

Upon landing, a faint orchid-like fragrance spread in the air, lifting one’s spirits.

This person was none other than Gu Yuan’s acquaintance—Su Qiuyue.

“Long time no see, is everything well, Fairy Su?”

Gu Yuan greeted her with a smile.

“Only half a year, it shouldn’t be considered long, right?”

Su Qiuyue blinked, her exquisite beauty revealing a hint of playfulness.

“For me, the time has been quite sufficient.”

Gu Yuan smiled, turning slightly to a welcoming posture, “Please, Fairy, follow me. By chance, I’ve recently acquired some fine ingredients and a few pounds of top-quality spirit tea that you must try.”

“Is that so? Then I shall follow the host’s lead, entirely at Fellow Daoist Gu’s disposal.”

Su Qiuyue smiled brilliantly, her radiant smile with hints of charm, like hooks, making the two people not far away stare blankly.

The two laughed and joked as they entered Medicine King Mountain.

After Gu Yuan and Su Qiuyue left, the two disciples who had been guarding the mountain gate started whispering to each other.

One of them couldn’t help but say, “This fairy just now possessed extraordinary poise and peerless beauty, even our Medicine King Mountain’s true inheritance senior sisters are scarcely any better. I wonder which family’s disciple she is, having such grace.”

He was about to say more but saw his companion stunned on the spot, staring at the direction where Gu Yuan and Su Qiuyue left. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What’s up? Daydreaming? Have you gone mad?”

The companion’s mouth twitched, unable to help but say, “Did you hear how Brother Gu addressed that fairy just now?”

“It seemed like he called her Fairy Su.”

That person thought for a moment and said.

“You also saw our Brother Gu treating a Fairy Su with great respect, indicating that this Fairy Su is certainly of the same level as him.”

“With the surname Su, and being of the same level as Brother Gu, and also a female cultivator with such demeanor and appearance, how many individuals fit these conditions in the Southern Border Cultivation Realm?”

The person widened his eyes, “Do you mean to say…that the Fairy Su just now could be Fairy Su Qiuyue from Taixu Temple?!”

“Who else could it be but her?”

“Wow, who would have thought… that Brother Gu is on such terms with Fairy Su, and their relationship seems quite good. If I’m not mistaken, this Fairy Su should be as renowned as our eldest senior brother, right?!”

“Indeed. Who would have guessed, not only is Brother Gu’s talent unparalleled, but contrary to what others say, he doesn’t just act alone, he’s made some friends. I’ve heard when Brother Gu entered the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, he had good relations with two female disciples from Lankao Mountain and Hundred Poison Mountain, Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling. Who knew he also knew Fairy Su, Brother Gu is indeed quite fortunate with women…”

“Alright, such words shouldn’t be spoken recklessly, they could bring you big trouble.”

The two were extremely surprised, but upon reflection, it seemed reasonable.

Gu Yuan is renowned, with unparalleled talent, his power and divine techniques unmatched by peers, and among the younger generation in the entire Southern Border Cultivation Realm, few could compare to him.

People like him are destined to associate with individuals of significance,

Just as dragons do not mingle with serpents, so it is here.

…

Gu Yuan naturally wasn’t aware of the murmuring among the two outer disciples, as he personally led Su Qiuyue to his cave mansion on White Cloud Mountain.

Of course, before entering White Cloud Mountain, Gu Yuan had already instructed his Heaven-Swallowing Demon Python, the Black Jade Spiritual Ao, and other spirit pets to hide away, leaving only the Cyan Jade Sword Butterfly, Xiao Qing, and the Silver-backed Centipede in plain view.

After all, many people were already aware of the latter two, so there was no need for deliberate concealment.

Upon arriving at the guest room, Gu Yuan and Su Qiuyue sat facing each other, and with a certain look from Gu Yuan, his housekeeper Qiu Yue, along with a few other maidservant disciples, presented spirit tea and various spirit fruits one by one.

The fragrance of the spirit tea was pervasive, with a lingering aftertaste, and the spirit fruits were sweet and tangy, making one unable to stop.

Fairy Su naturally didn’t stand on ceremony. After tasting a bit, she couldn’t help but praise it lavishly.

“If I’m not mistaken, this spirit tea ought to come from the ancient spirit tea tree of 23,000 years on the Great Wilderness Mountain in Liuzhou, right?”

“The Recluse of the Great Wilderness, a formidable Yin God Giant, usually guards this tea tree more dearly than his own life, who would have thought Fellow Daoist Gu would have such an item here.”

Su Qiuyue chuckled intriguingly, curious, “I wonder how Fellow Daoist Gu acquired it?”

Gu Yuan smiled, “I certainly wouldn’t have that much face, however, while I couldn’t acquire it myself, others could. This item I obtained from the storage pouch of a Golden Core Great Cultivator from Red Leaf Valley after killing him in the Red Dragon Small World, thus making Fairy Su laugh.”

“…”

Su Qiuyue blinked, unsure of what to say for a moment.

But she couldn’t deny that this Fellow Daoist Gu’s achievements were truly impressive and astonishing.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yuan straightforwardly got to the point and smiled as he inquired, “I wonder what brings Fairy Su to visit me this time?”

Gu Yuan actually knew clearly, he and Su Qiuyue didn’t have much of a connection.

So this time Su Qiuyue visiting must mean there is something to attend to.

And it definitely wasn’t a small matter!

Su Qiuyue’s bright eyes focused on Gu Yuan, “I came today to ask for your help.”

“Oh?”

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised and asked, “With your ability and that of Taixu Temple, are there still matters you can’t handle?”

Although Taixu Temple didn’t have many members, it had many strong cultivators, and in terms of overall strength, it was definitely not inferior to Medicine King Mountain.

Especially its Observatory Master, who was rumored to be just a hair’s breadth away from becoming a Primordial Spirit True Immortal.

With such strength, who could provoke them besides a Primordial Spirit True Immortal?

“This matter, my sect can’t interfere, I must handle it myself.”

Su Qiuyue shook her head.

“Oh?”

Gu Yuan’s eyes flashed, vaguely guessing something.

Su Qiuyue didn’t intend to keep it a mystery and directly explained the situation.

It turns out that, although Taixu Temple, where Su Qiuyue hails from, is located in the Southern Border Cultivation Realm, it actually has intricate connections with the East Sea Cultivation Realm.
