Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Grand Master Gu, Wind Valley's Elder Feng is here for a visit."

Wind Valley's Elder Feng?

Gu Ruoyun raised an eyebrow, "The members of Wind Valley are still around?"

"I don't know."

Bai Zhongtian shook his head as his eyes filled with vigilance, "This old fellow's visit does not bode well. Nope, We shan't meet him!"

What a joke! Why should I allow this old fart from Wind Valley to meet my disciple? I've certainly not forgotten that this old geezer had previously tried to steal my precious disciple.

"Master, since he's already here, let's see what he wants," Gu Ruoyun said as she gently curled the corners of her lips. A light then flashed in her eyes, "I understand your concern but regardless of how bold Wind Valley may be, they wouldn't possibly attack in broad daylight! Therefore, I should be in no danger."

"This..." Bai Zhongtian hesitated for a moment before he finally nodded "Alright, I'd like to find out what kind of wicked plan this old geezer has in store!"

Gu Ruoyun turned to face the tightly shut room door and replied in a light voice, "Let him in."

"Yes, Grand Master Gu."

As soon as the Medicine Sect's disciple had finished speaking, the door was pushed open and a white-robed Elder Feng entered the room. He hesitated a little at the threshold before he walked forward at a more determined pace towards Gu Ruoyun with his back straight.

"One doesn't visit a temple without a cause. Speak, what is your business here?"

Bai Zhongtian scoffed. He does not have any fondness for Wind Valley's members.

He never forgot how they had helped Elder Huang and Huang Feifei to oppress his beloved disciple.

Elder Feng instantly looked extremely guilty. He was about to fly into a rage but he managed to hold it in for some unknown reason. He then turned his clear and bright eyes towards Gu Ruoyun and slowly said, "I am here to honor my promise!"

"Promise, what promise?"

Gu Ruoyun was mildly dazed as she stared at Elder Feng suspiciously.

"I had previously said that if you were to successfully refine a pill, I will then pay my respects to you as my Master. I am now honoring my promise to you."

Elder Feng's reply seemed to have sapped all the strength from him. His expression was no longer arrogant. In fact, he seems to look very much humbled.

Elder Feng's sudden change surprised Gu Ruoyun and Bai Zhongtian. After all, this old fellow had not seemed like the type of person who would willingly keep his promises.

He was able to honor his promise and pay his respects to Gu Ruoyun as his Master?

Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders at the thought and smiled in a nonchalant manner, "I've long forgotten about that matter so there's no need for you to remember it so clearly, Elder Feng. I can consider it as though you haven't mentioned a thing."

"No, I must keep my promise." Elder Feng seemed very determined. He then fixed his gaze on Gu Ruoyun, "I know that I had been far too brash in the beginning and I had treated you with disdain. Now, I've been thoroughly subdued by your powers. Hence, this is why I want to pay respects to you as my Master."

"Why?" Gu Ruoyun smiled as she asked. However, her smile held a sense of contempt, "You had previously tried to force me to become your disciple and now you want to force me to take you as my apprentice? Is this the style of conduct befitting a cultivator from Wind Valley?"

Elder Feng looked absolutely destitute when he heard this. He then replied in embarrassment, "Miss Gu, I have indeed recognized my mistakes. Don't worry, I'm not forcing you nor will I allow Wind Valley to force you either. You are a powerful cultivator and you deserve to command respect. Even if you aren't willing to accept me as your disciple at this moment, you will forever be my Master in my heart."

After saying these words, he did not give Gu Ruoyun a chance to reply as he immediately turned around to head out of the room. His figure soon disappeared under the brilliant rays of the afternoon sun.

"Has this fellow taken the wrong medication? What is he doing?"

Bai Zhongtian asked as he stared at Elder Feng incredulously. He simply could not understand what that old man had been playing at.

He does not believe that Elder Feng was the type of person who would keep his promises. Also, Elder Feng definitely was not an open and candid person! This must be a crafty plot from Wind Valley!
