Chapter 97: Make Yanran Accept Me as Master
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the second day.
Inside the cave, Gu He took out the package that Xiao Yi Xian had given him before leaving.
Opening the package, he found some pastries inside.
Xiao Yi Xian's culinary skills were always good, and these pastries were obviously made with care, exquisite and appetizing.
Gu He picked up a pastry and tasted it.
Mmm, it tasted good.
Gu He couldn't help but eat a few more.
Then, Gu He looked at Yun Yun, who was still lying on the ground, and walked over with a few pastries in hand.
Hearing Gu He's footsteps, Yun Yun subconsciously opened her eyes.
"How do you feel?" Gu He squatted down, a smile on his face as he asked with concern.
Feeling the concern in Gu He's words, a smile appeared on Yun Yun's pretty face, and she said, "Much better."
Gu He raised the pastries in his hand and said, "These pastries were made by Xiao Yi Xian. Would you like to have some?"
Yun Yun had not eaten for a day and night, so she was naturally hungry. Upon hearing Gu He's words, she nodded slightly and replied, "Yes."
Then, Gu He reached out, helped Yun Yun sit up, and handed her a pastry.
He picked up a piece of pastry, handed it to Xiao Yi Xian's mouth, and said gently, "Eat, it tastes good."
Watching the pastry being handed to her mouth, Yun Yun's face blushed slightly. After giving Gu He a glance, she gently took a small bite.
Watching Yun Yun's red lips move as she chewed slowly, Gu He asked with a gentle tone, "How is it?"
"Good." Yun Yun swallowed the pastry in her mouth and nodded lightly. Thinking of Xiao Yi Xian's cute appearance, a hint of fondness appeared in her eyes. "That girl's cooking skills are really good."
"As long as you like it." Gu He smiled at her words, then picked up another pastry and handed it to Yun Yun. "I'll go out later to catch a few fish for you to replenish your strength."
Yun Yun's body was too weak at the moment, and she couldn't eat anything greasy. She could only supplement her nutrition with some fish.
Yun Yun took a small bite of the pastry and looked at Gu He, nodding slightly.
One piece of pastry, Yun Yun took four or five bites to finish.
At the last small bite, Yun Yun's red lips even touched Gu He's fingertips, making Yun Yun's cheeks even more rosy.
"Have another one."
Seeing Yun Yun licking her red lips, Gu He picked up another piece of pastry and offered it to her.
Yun Yun didn't refuse and opened her mouth again.
After a while.
"I can't eat anymore."
When she reached the fourth piece of pastry, Yun Yun shook her head, indicating that she was full.
"Then don't eat anymore."
With a slight smile at Yun Yun's words, Gu He looked at the remaining half piece of pastry that Yun Yun didn't eat, casually threw it into his mouth.
This was the carefully made pastry by his precious disciple; he couldn't waste it.
Watching Gu He eat the pastry she had left, Yun Yun was slightly stunned. Then a hint of shyness flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Sect Master, why did you come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range this time?"
Gu He, however, did not notice the change in Yun Yun's expression and continued to pick up another pastry, putting it into his mouth. He casually asked, "And why did you have a fierce battle with the Crystal Winged Lion King?"
Hearing this, Yun Yun was brought back to her thoughts. After a moment of contemplation, she said softly, "The purpose of my coming to the Magic Beast Mountain Range this time is for the Purple Spirit Crystal."
Gu He naturally knew the purpose of Yun Yun coming to the Magic Beast Mountain Range. What puzzled him was why she wanted this Purple Spirit Crystal.
Thinking of this, Gu He asked again, "The Purple Spirit Crystal, what do you want to do with it? This is the treasure of the Crystal Winged Lion King. If you want it, it will naturally fight you to the death."
Thinking about her actions this time, Yun Yun also felt that she had been a bit reckless.
She thought that breaking through to the Five-Star Dou Emperor realm would allow her to easily deal with the Crystal Winged Lion King.
However, she did not expect that the Crystal Winged Lion King still had a move called the Purple Crystal Seal as a trump card.
If Gu He had not appeared in time, she might have already perished at this moment.
With a bitter smile on her lips, Yun Yun said slowly, "The Purple Spirit Crystal is for Yanran."
"I obtained an ancient scroll that recorded a fifth-grade pill called the Purple Crystal Pill. After consuming it at the Grandmaster Dou Master level, one can directly break through three realms without any side effects."
"And the main ingredient of the Purple Crystal Pill is the Purple Spirit Crystal."
"Purple Crystal Pill?"
Upon hearing this, Gu He was slightly stunned, and then information about the Purple Crystal Pill flashed in his mind.
He inherited the memories and insights of a Ninth-Grade Alchemist, and there was indeed a record of the Purple Crystal Pill in those memories.
It was considered a rather special and extraordinary pill.
Turning around to look at Yun Yun, Gu He said, "You're preparing this for Yanran even though she hasn't broken through to the Dou Master level yet. Isn't it a bit early?"
Yun Yun whispered, "You don't know. There was news from the Wu Tan City that the young man from the Xiao family, who divorced Yanran, after being divorced by her, for some reason, not only did his talents recover, but even surpassed his previous state. In just a few months, he has broken through to the Dou Practitioner level. This makes me somewhat worried."
"The three-year agreement between Yanran and that young man from the Xiao family not only involves Yanran's future but also affects the reputation of the Cloud Mist Sect. Therefore, in the three-year agreement, Yanran must win and cannot lose." At this point, a trace of seriousness appeared on Yun Yun's pretty face.
Obviously, she attached great importance to this three-year agreement.
After all, this time the Cloud Mist Sect divorced, it was clearly looking down on Xiao Yan.
This had already had a considerable impact on the reputation of the Cloud Mist Sect.
But if three years later, Yanran, the pride of the Cloud Mist Sect, lost to Xiao Yan, whom she had once despised, it would be even more damaging.
In these many years, Cloud Mist Sect's accumulated good reputation is probably going to be ruined in an instant.
After hearing Yun Yun's words, Gu He's face showed a slight surprise.
Cloud Mist Sect truly deserved to be the number one sect in the Gamma Empire. It could quickly learn about the situation even in the Xiao family in Udan City.
To make Yun Yun take the risk to come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal, it seemed that Xiao Yan had brought significant pressure to her.
Actually, what Gu He didn't know was that Yun Yun's current visit to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal had a certain connection with him.
In the original work, Yun Yun did come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range to get the Purple Spirit Crystal, but the timeline was delayed by at least more than half a year.
The reason Yun Yun came to the Magic Beast Mountain Range ahead of schedule was twofold.
The first reason was that after taking the Emperor Pill, Yun Yun's own cultivation breakthrough filled her with confidence in her strength.
As for the second reason, it was because of Nalan Yanran.
During this period, perhaps due to a great setback from Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran lost her previous confidence, even beginning to doubt her own talent, wondering if she was truly a genius as the outside world said.
Maybe there was a knot in her heart, leading to Nalan Yanran's recent poor cultivation state.
This made Yun Yun even more worried.
With Nalan Yanran's current state of mind, there was a possibility that she might lose to that young man from the Xiao family in the three-year agreement.
Yun Yun planned to prepare the materials for the Purple Crystal Pill. Perhaps this could restore Nalan Yanran's former confidence.
In the cave, after listening to Yun Yun's words and seeing the worry on her face, Dou Ancestor Gu He's heart moved slightly.
After a moment of silence, Dou Ancestor Gu He slowly spoke, "I have a suggestion that might help you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun looked at Dou Ancestor Gu He with some curiosity.
Dou Ancestor Gu He didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "It's very simple. Let Yanran accept me as her master."
"Accept you as a master?"
Yun Yun looked stunned, somewhat incredulous, "Do you want to take Yanran as your disciple?"
Dou Ancestor Gu He nodded slightly, very serious, "As long as Yanran accepts me as her master, I can guarantee that by the time of the three-year agreement, her cultivation will be at least at the Dou Emperor level."
Dou Ancestor Gu He's words were full of confidence.
With the presence of the system that rewarded a thousandfold for teaching disciples, he would become the best teacher.
In teaching disciples, anyone couldn't compare to him.
As long as Nalan Yanran accepted him as her master, the three-year agreement with Xiao Yan would be a joke.
Nalan Yanran would crush Xiao Yan in a dominating manner.
"Emperor?"
At these words, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes froze, and she looked at Dou Ancestor Gu He, "Elder Gu He, are you serious?"
"Does the Sect Master not trust me?"
Facing Yun Yun's doubts, Dou Ancestor Gu He still had a smile on his face, "If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"
Yun Yun's eyes flashed, "A bet?"
"On the day of the three-year agreement, if Yanran has not broken through to the Dou Emperor level, then I will agree to a condition of your choosing."
Dou Ancestor Gu He slowly spoke.
Yun Yun, surprised, said, "Are you so confident?"
Apparently, Yun Yun didn't fully believe Dou Ancestor Gu He's words.
Although Dou Ancestor Gu He was already a Dou Ancestor powerhouse, it only represented his personal talent.
Now, there were only two years left until the three-year agreement.
If Dou Ancestor Gu He could guarantee that Nalan Yanran would be promoted to the Dou Spirit realm, Yun Yun might still have some faith.
After all, he was a Dou Ancestor powerhouse, and naturally, he had many mysterious means.
Moreover, Yun Yun thought of Xiao Yi Xian's progress during this time.
If Nalan Yanran could achieve such speed, it might be possible to reach the Dou Spirit realm in three years.
But this was only the Dou Spirit realm.
It was still far from the Dou Emperor realm that Dou Ancestor Gu He mentioned.
Dou Ancestor Gu He smiled, "Since I dare to make a guarantee, naturally, I have this confidence."
"How about it, Master? Do you dare to accept this bet?" Dou Ancestor Gu He's mouth revealed a hint of mockery as he looked at Yun Yun.
Yun Yun did not immediately agree but asked, "What if I lose?"
"If you lose..."
Dou Ancestor Gu He thought for a moment, his lips slightly lifted, and his gaze swept over Yun Yun's pretty face, "It's simple. Let that girl Yanran change her way of addressing you a bit."
"Change her way of addressing me?"
At these words, Yun Yun showed a puzzled expression, "Change what way of addressing?"
A hint of amusement flashed in Dou Ancestor Gu He's eyes, "If Yanran successfully breaks through to the Dou Emperor level on the day of the three-year agreement, then let her address you as... Master, how about that?"
