Dandy Pill God-Chapter 151: Someone Else

Shangguan Yu was startled.

She looked suspiciously towards Zhu Fei, not understanding what Wen Lei and the others meant. Just as she mentioned the matter, they all turned their gazes towards this unfamiliar young man.

Moreover, the look in each of their eyes revealed gratitude, some even showing undisguised admiration.

Could it be that this unfamiliar young man had some unknown connection to the matter she had just mentioned?

As the Elder of Chunqiu Pavilion, Shangguan Yu was naturally not slow to react. Her mind briefly considered, and she had already made some guesses.

"Hehe, Elder, let me explain this matter," said Wen Lei, who had taken the initiative to come forward, smiling as he spoke, "Elder, this is Zhu Fei, the one Elder Song and I mentioned to you previously."

As he spoke, Wen Lei turned towards Zhu Fei, smiling again, "Brother Zhu, this is our Elder of Chunqiu Pavilion, Shangguan Yu, Elder Shangguan."

"Oh, so you are Zhu Fei?"

Shangguan Yu now seriously sized up Zhu Fei, nodding her head with interest as she smiled, "Not bad at all, truly a young man valued by Old Man Song. At such a young age, to possess medical skills surpassing Old Man Song’s, quite remarkable indeed."

Clearly, Shangguan Yu already knew a fair bit about Zhu Fei.

After all, before this, Zhu Fei had already stopped asking Song Yan and the others to keep his abilities a secret.

Because Zhu Fei understood that if he wanted help from others, he needed to show some of his skills, at least not to be underestimated lightly.

In the Cultivation World, strength and benefits were paramount.

Without certain strength or something special, getting help or appreciation from others was absolutely impossible, even with acquaintances or friends.

"Hehe, Elder, you are too kind. I must first express my gratitude to you for looking after my two friends behind the scenes during this time," said Zhu Fei with a smile, bowing respectfully to Shangguan Yu, his tone sincere.

After both parties had exchanged courtesies, Wen Lei then smiled again, looking back at Shangguan Yu, "Elder, not to hide this from you, indeed earlier we were ambushed by people from the Blood Evil Sect. Fortunately, Brother Zhu was there and we were able to survive the ordeal."

Upon hearing this, Wen Lei recounted their previous encounter to Shangguan Yu in detail.

After listening, Shangguan Yu was quite shocked.

She looked at Zhu Fei again, and the formulaic expression in her eyes immediately disappeared, replaced by a thick sense of gratitude.

Unexpectedly, the usually indifferent Shangguan Yu took the initiative to perform an Ancient Martial World’s greeting towards Zhu Fei.

"Mr. Zhu, thank you for your timely rescue."

As she spoke, a bitter smile appeared on Shangguan Yu’s face, and then her expression turned solemn as she continued,

"In my actions, I, Shangguan Yu, always value integrity. I won’t hide the truth from you now. The reason I agreed to Wen Lei and Song Yan’s request to secretly protect your friends wasn’t because of the friendship between you and them, nor because of your unparalleled medical skills."

"It was actually because someone else asked me to. But now, I, Shangguan Yu, must genuinely express my gratitude to you, Mr. Zhu. Since you saved Wen Lei and the others, from now on, you are a benefactor of Chunqiu Pavilion. Whenever you need, I, Shangguan Yu, will not hesitate to help."

As Shangguan Yu finished speaking, both Zhu Fei and Wen Lei were slightly taken aback.

Neither had expected that Shangguan Yu would be willing to provide help this time because of someone else’s involvement.

A realization dawned in Wen Lei’s eyes.

"In his understanding, this Elder of theirs was indeed such a person, who rarely gave face to anyone easily."

Originally, he had thought that the reason Shangguan Yu had come out of retirement was because Zhu Fei had cured her of her old injuries from many years ago.

However, from the words Shangguan Yu had previously spoken, there seemed to be other hidden reasons.

Thinking about it, who was Shangguan Yu? The Elder of Chunqiu Pavilion, whose cultivation had reached the Late-Stage Power Realm peak, merely a few steps away from ascending to another level of existence.

Even if she truly wanted to come out of retirement, she would certainly not do something like secretly guarding two young girls.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Zhu Fei’s eyes as he once again greeted Shangguan Yu with cupped fists.

"No matter what, Elder Shangguan, you have helped me, Zhu Fei, this time. However, I would like to ask, who is the person that truly made you come out? May I know who it is?" Zhu Fei asked.

Zhu Fei truly did not understand, in this matter, besides Wen Lei and Song Yan, who else would help him? And who else had the ability to do so?

"Hehe, Mr. Zhu, I am sorry, but I cannot tell you who that person is for now. But I believe, one day you will find out."

"I won’t hide it from you; that person has actually only learned of my real identity not long ago, just didn’t expect, hehe..."

Shangguan Yu smiled to herself, shaking her head, a hint of mystery and amusement on her face, which confused Zhu Fei even more.

Seeing this, Wen Lei at his side also couldn’t help but show a wry smile.

He raised his hand and gently patted Zhu Fei’s shoulder, saying, "Brother Zhu, let it go. Anyway, the person who could ask our Elder must certainly be a friend not a foe. Don’t think too much; it could also possibly be someone familiar whom you’ve overlooked."

"Someone familiar I’ve overlooked?"

A flash of realization suddenly sparked in Zhu Fei’s mind, subconsciously, a stunning but unusually aloof face emerged in his mind.

Could it be her? But how would she know Shangguan Yu?

Wait... Shangguan Yu said earlier, that person had only found out about her identity not long ago; using this reasoning to interpret, the person who initially sought Shangguan Yu’s help could only be her.

With this thought, an inexplicable warmth surged in Zhu Fei’s heart.

Qiu Ruoxue, is it you? I wonder how you are doing with your special training, is everything well?

Shangguan Yu, seeing the smile slowly spreading across Zhu Fei’s lips, felt a slight shock in her heart and immediately gave a wry smile.

It seems he had guessed some things. Well, that girl’s temperament was naturally cool, not good at expressing her own thoughts. In this way, it’s also like helping that girl, after all, this young man’s ability to provoke girls, hehe...

Shangguan Yu smiled slightly to herself.

...

As the group moved forward, they unknowingly entered the urban area of Lan City.

Taking in the familiar scenery, Zhu Fei suddenly took a deep breath, then smiled and greeted Shangguan Yu and the others with cupped fists:

"Elder Shangguan, Brother Lei, sister-in-law, and everyone, if there’s nothing else, I, Zhu Fei, will take my leave for now. If there’s anything in the future, shall we contact each other then?"

"Alright, then let’s part here for now, and we’ll be in touch if there’s anything." Shangguan Yu and Wen Lei nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Zhu Fei no longer hesitated, promptly hailed a taxi by the roadside and soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.
