Chapter 080: Threat

What kind of person is she? If this was in the past, Xiao Yi Xian would never dare to act like this. However, things were different now.

She had someone backing her up, someone powerful and influential. With him as her support, what did it matter if Gu He was just a sixth-grade alchemist?

She could simply ignore him.

After all, he had ignored her first and put on airs. There was no need for her to approach someone who treated her coldly with warmth and enthusiasm.

It would only be asking for trouble. Besides, everyone had their own temperaments, and she was no exception, especially as a woman.

"Damn it... Has the world gone mad? How dare a mere maid disregard me like this?" Gu He's face turned ugly, his expression dark and gloomy. He was on the verge of boiling over.

He, Gu He, the Pill King, a sixth-grade alchemist, was an esteemed guest wherever he went in the entire Jia Ma Empire. Even in the outside of this empire, he was a well-known and respected figure.

And yet, he was being so blatantly looked down upon by a mere maid. It was an intolerable insult!

If it weren't for the fact that they were currently in the Misty Cloud Sect, Gu He would have already slapped her across the face, teaching her a lesson about not disrespecting an alchemist.

The Strong Should Not Be Insulted!

The weak, who are nothing more than insignificant ants, can be bullied, but not the mighty and formidable!

Gu He looked towards the seated Hun Tiandi, feeling that his maid's impoliteness was an insult to a sixth-grade alchemist like himself.

In Gu He's opinion, as the host, Hun Tiandi should have spoken up to reprimand her. After all, the strength and influence of a sixth-grade alchemist were not to be underestimated. He was not someone to be trifled with.

But to Gu He's surprise, Hun Tiandi remained expressionless, calm as if he hadn't heard what had just transpired.

"This..." Gu He's face grew even uglier. His fists clenched tightly beneath his sleeves. If it weren't for his remaining sense of reason telling him not to stoop to the level of a young upstart, he would have already taken action.

This was an intolerable insult! When had he, a dignified sixth-grade alchemist, ever been so blatantly disregarded?

"Phew..." Gu He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger within him.

He told himself, "Stay calm! Stay calm!"

He reminded himself that he, Gu He, a sixth-grade alchemist, should not stoop to the level of a mere young upstart.

"He is not worthy!" Gu He repeated to himself, striving to maintain his composure.

Eventually, he successfully suppressed his rage. With a smile on his face, he said, "May I ask how I should address this young master?"

Hun Tiandi replied, "I am Hun Xiu!"

"Hmm?" Gu He was taken aback by the response, feeling unexpectedly surprised.

He had originally thought Hun Tiandi was deaf! But it turned out that he wasn't.

So... was Hun Tiandi insulting him just now? The more he thought about it, the angrier Gu He became.

However, Gu He had no intention of laying a hand on Hun Tiandi.

After all, he was brought back by Yun Yun. If he were to harm him, it would be disrespecting Yun Yun's face.

Although he could not physically attack him, he could still resort to threats. If the other party had any sense, he would back off.

But if he continued to be insolent, then he couldn't be blamed for a sixth-grade alchemist like himself taking action against a young upstart.

After understanding everything, Gu He spoke with a smile, looking at Hun Tiandi. This smile carried a hint of malice. Gu He slightly clasped his hands and said, "Brother Hun!"

Hun Tiandi responded, "No need for formalities!"

In Gu He's heart, he sneered, "You still have some self-awareness, a mere young upstart who relies on his looks for a living. As a sixth-grade alchemist, addressing you as 'Brother Hun' will be your honor from now on."

Gu He casually continued, "I've heard that Brother Hun saved the life of Master Yun Yun, making you her benefactor."

"Hmm!" Hun Tiandi nodded and said, "That's correct. That happened."

"Hehe..." Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's response, Gu He stopped sneering internally and instead let out an open, cold laugh. His lips curved upwards, forming a cold smile, revealing a trace of mockery.

Open sarcasm!

Gu He directly mocked, "Brother Hun, are you dreaming? Master Yun Yun is a powerful Dou Huang in the entire Jia Ma Empire, a well-known and top-tier existence. Does she need your help? If you want to flatter yourself, it depends on the person."

Hun Tiandi ignored Gu He. He was nothing more than an ant, a presence that could be easily crushed with a flick of his hand.

Crushing an ant wouldn't leave any trace or impact whatsoever.

Seeing the silence of Hun Tiandi, Gu He became even more convinced of his own thoughts. Did he save Yun Yun? It was nothing but nonsense!

He simply relied on his slightly more handsome face to seduce Yun Yun.

Gu He approached Hun Tiandi, putting on an arrogant front.

The anger that arose from his goddess being stolen couldn't be suppressed. Gu He warned, "I'm warning you, stay away from Yun Yun, you're simply not worthy!"

"If you have any sense, you'll leave on your own. Staying in the Misty Cloud Sect will bring you nothing but harm, no benefits! Trust me, don't doubt what I say. If you dare to stay in the Misty Cloud Sect, I will make your life a living hell." Gu He threatened Hun Tiandi, his words filled with a clear sense of threat.

If Hun Tiandi were truly just a young upstart, he would probably be scared by now, kneeling and begging for mercy.

Unfortunately... Gu He threatened the wrong person this time. What kind of person hadn't Hun Tiandi seen? Just a mere sixth-grade alchemist, and a Dou Wang at that.

Threatening him? It was simply seeking death!

If it weren't for the fear of dirtying his own hands by killing him, Hun Tiandi could have slapped Gu He and left him as nothing but dust.

Hun Tiandi met Gu He's gaze, and Gu He met the gaze of Hun Tiandi.

For some unknown reason, his soul trembled slightly, and his body couldn't help but take a step back.

Hun Tiandi calmly spoke, "You still dare to threaten me with your current state?"

"Go back and gather some courage before you come to threaten me!"

"You..."

Gu He also snapped back to his senses, stabilizing his posture. He didn't know why, but during their eye contact earlier, his soul trembled like being plunged into an icy cave, an unusual shiver!

It was only a momentary feeling, but because of that moment, Gu He took a step back. Now, hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Gu He couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He thought to himself, "What happened in that moment just now?"

Soon, he stopped overthinking it. In his opinion, he must have sensed it wrong. Even if he didn't sense it wrong, it had little to do with Hun Tiandi. He was just a small-time pretty boy.

Did he really think he was a hidden powerhouse? Acting tough? Perhaps he had read too many novels!

After failing to understand everything, Gu He took a step forward and stared directly at Hun Tiandi, asking, "Are you not going to comply with my demands?"

"That's right!" Hun Tiandi nodded and said, "I was brought here by Yun Yun. Do you think you, a mere elder, can threaten me and make me leave?"

"Very well!" Upon hearing this, Gu He was filled with anger. It had been a long time since anyone dared to speak to him in such a manner ever since he became a sixth-grade alchemist.
