Is This How You Treat Your Disciple?

At Misty Cloud Sect.

Since tomorrow was the day of Sect Master Yun Yun's wedding, tonight, the entire Sect was adorned with countless colorful, bright red lanterns, decorating the vast mountain.

The wedding of Sect Master Yun Yun was an extremely significant event for the entire Misty Cloud Sect. Moreover, the person Yun Yun was marrying was none other than Pill King Gu He, who was highly respected both within the Sect and across the Jia Ma Empire.

Except for Yun Yun herself, who was unhappy with the arrangement, everyone else seemed to be thrilled with the marriage. Especially Gu He, who had admired Yun Yun for a long time. Tomorrow, he would finally get his wish, and he was incredibly excited.

Therefore, on the eve of the wedding, a festive atmosphere permeated the entire Sect.

In the evening, in a large hall, there were only two people present: Yun Shan and Gu He, the protagonist of tomorrow's wedding.

"Gu He, after tomorrow's wedding, you will truly become one of us. From now on, Misty Cloud Sect will rely on you young people!" Yun Shan said with a hearty laugh from his seat.

Yun Shan had high hopes for Gu He. This man had the potential to become a seventh-tier alchemist in the future, which would greatly benefit Misty Cloud Sect. His status could also be used to attract other strong individuals to join the sect.

"Old Sect Master, after the wedding tomorrow, please release the seal on Yun Yun's Dou Qi. I will take her out for a while. Perhaps, with time, she will come to understand the effort you've put into this for her," Gu He said with a smile.

Although Gu He knew that Yun Shan had sealed Yun Yun's battle energy for his sake, he still felt heartache seeing Yun Yun so unhappy every day.

Yun Shan stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, saying, "Of course. That girl was raised by me, after all. Keeping her sealed like this makes me uncomfortable too."

"Ah… although she is unwilling now, feelings develop over time. Whether or not you can win her over in the future will depend on you."

Yun Shan could force Yun Yun into Gu He's hands, but whether Gu He could keep her was up to him.

"Hahaha, I will do my best to make Yun Yun happy," Gu He responded with a laugh.

Even though he wasn't sure how sincere Yun Shan was, Gu He still smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. There are still some things to prepare for tomorrow's wedding."

"Very well, go ahead."

Yun Shan watched Gu He leave, feeling very satisfied with his future son-in-law.

After leaving the hall, Gu He went to a pavilion on the mountain.

In the pavilion, several elders of Misty Cloud Sect were gathered.

When they saw Gu He approaching, they all stood up to greet him.

As the only sixth-tier alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, Gu He held a highly respected position both in the empire and within the Sect. With his impending marriage to Yun Yun, his status was set to rise even further.

These elders were eager to curry favor with Gu He, hoping to gain some benefits in the future.

"Haha, Elder Gu He, you're not resting yet?"

"Tomorrow is a big day. How could Elder Gu He sleep?"

"Hahaha, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to sleep either!"

The elders congratulated Gu He, and Gu He, in high spirits because his long-held wish was about to come true, responded to each of them with a smile.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he looked up into the sky.

"So strong!"

Up there, he sensed an incredibly powerful Dou Qi pressure, one even more overwhelming than Yun Shan's.

"Yun Shan, come see me at once!"

At that moment, a voice filled with immense power echoed across the Misty Cloud Sect from the sky.

"Who could it be?"

The elders were also shocked, their minds racing with guesses, while Gu He grew increasingly uneasy.

Yun Shan had noticed this presence before Gu He did, but before he could react, the voice had already reverberated through Misty Cloud Mountain.

Although Yun Shan felt annoyed, he dared not act rashly in front of such a powerful figure and quickly went out to greet the newcomer.

"I wonder which senior is visiting us?"

Although it was somewhat humiliating to be called out by name on his own turf, Yun Shan still spoke politely.

"Why would he come to see Yun Shan?" Meanwhile, a shadowy figure around the mountain, Xiao Yan, who had come to investigate Misty Cloud Sect at night, was also surprised.

At that moment, he had already guessed the identity of the visitor and realized that it was the Gu clan genius mentioned by Xun Er before.

"This voice… It's him!"

Inside a hall, where Yun Yun was being held, her eyes shone with surprise.

In recent days, she had often found her thoughts drifting to Gu Fei, hoping that he would come to save her from her plight. And now, he had indeed appeared.

If she could get Gu Fei's help, she was sure she could regain her freedom, but...

"Did he really come to save me?" Yun Yun's nervousness grew.

Outside, under the gazes of countless Sect disciples, a massive figure descended from the sky.

On this enormous creature were three people: a stunningly beautiful woman, an adorable little girl, and a spirited, handsome young man.

Standing on a seventh-tier magical beast, accompanied by an unparalleled beauty, Gu Fei's entrance left the members of Misty Cloud Sect both shocked and envious.

"It's him!"

Seeing Gu Fei's face, Gu He was taken aback.

He had seen Gu Fei once before, while fleeing outside the Snake-People Tribe's Holy City.

Although it was just a brief glimpse, it left a deep impression, especially since Gu Fei had saved Yun Yun from being besieged at that time.

"Tomorrow is supposed to be my wedding with Yun Yun, and now he suddenly shows up…"

As Gu Fei arrived, Gu He's mind filled with complicated thoughts.

"You must be Young Master Gu Fei?"

"I wonder what brings you here today?" Yun Shan's tone was very polite, and he also noticed the breakthrough of Medusa, who had now reached the Dou Zong level.

"Yun Shan, I hear tomorrow is the wedding of Misty Cloud Sect Master Yun Yun…?" Gu Fei spoke directly.

"Indeed!"

With the entire Sect decorated and invitations already sent out, Yun Shan couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.

"Is she willing to marry?"

"This…"

Upon hearing this, Yun Shan fell silent. He wanted to say she was, but seeing the look in Gu Fei's eyes, he swallowed his words.

Gu Fei must have known something, or else he wouldn't have come. If Yun Shan lied, he would only further anger Gu Fei.

Below, Gu He also felt uneasy. Although imprisoning Yun Yun wasn't his idea, his greed couldn't be denied. Yun Yun never wanted to marry him.

"If she isn't willing, how can you, as her master, force her to marry?" Although Gu Fei's tone was calm, the Dou Qi within his voice bore down on Yun Shan, creating immense pressure.

"Young Master Gu Fei, I was momentarily confused…" Yun Shan was wise enough to know that he was no match for Gu Fei. Under the overwhelming pressure of Gu Fei's immense strength, he quickly admitted his mistake.
