Dandy Pill God-Chapter 208: After Fright
Chapter 208: Chapter 208: After Fright
"Hehe, allow me to introduce myself, I am an alchemist from the Treasure Pavilion, Gu Youlan."
The woman in the black dress, who identified herself as the stunning Gu Youlan, smiled warmly at Zhu Fei and the group.
"What do you think? Everyone, please give me some face and let this matter rest. From now on, no one should trouble each other again, alright?"
Gu Youlan elegantly brushed her jet-black hair beside her ear, her entire demeanor instantly exuding an extreme sense of nobility.
Her presence was commanding; even though she was smiling and talking to Zhu Fei and the others, the aura she inadvertently exuded somehow gave the impression that one dare not look directly at her.
It was as if a noble empress was issuing a decree to her subjects below.
Despite being benign, smiling, and humble, her words were filled with an undeniable force, radiating an intangible dignity and pressure.
Master Pei swallowed hard, while Tian Fei and the others glanced at each other, momentarily stunned.
Gu Youlan, the daughter of the Treasure Pavilion Master, the wisest woman in the Ancient Martial World, the most outstanding alchemist, and the strongest of the younger generation of cultivators.
She held countless resources, powers, and wealth in the Treasure Pavilion, and to say she was second only to one but above tens of thousands would not be an exaggeration.
She was surrounded by numerous halos, honors, and titles. Such a renowned figure was naturally known to Master Pei and the others.
Yet how could such a terrifyingly powerful person suddenly appear here?
Moreover, it seemed she intended to meddle in their affairs.
How could this not shock, confuse, and unsettle Master Pei and the others?
"Cough cough cough... Miss You Lan, about the issue between us and that boy..."
"Hehe, if I’m not mistaken, you must be Pei Wei’s son, Pei Xiaotian, right? Weren’t my previous words clear enough? Is it a deal or not?"
Before Pei Xiaotian could finish speaking, Gu Youlan already turned her head and smiled, looking at him as she asked.
Although Gu Youlan did not display any formidable aura and her face still bore a smiling expression,
Pei Xiaotian felt a sudden, inexplicable pressure at that moment.
That pressure was so immense that it almost made Pei Xiaotian feel breathless.
Seeing him swallow hard again and putting on a strained smile, he finally nodded with difficulty, "Fine, I have no objections on my part."
There was no way around it; Gu Youlan was simply not someone Pei Xiaotian could afford to offend.
Putting aside the terrifying background behind her, her own cultivation level alone could probably sweep everyone present.
Such a fearsome woman, even if her request had been bizarre, rude, and excessive, and even if it made Pei Xiaotian feel aggrieved, he dared not oppose her and could only agree obediently.
Seeing Pei Xiaotian agree, Gu Youlan turned her head again and looked at Zhu Fei with a smile.
"If I heard correctly, you must be Zhu Fei, right? How about it? Let’s settle the matter as I mentioned just now, what do you say?"
Facing Gu Youlan’s smiling inquiry, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feel somewhat stern.
To witness Pei Xiaotian, the son of the Zhenwu Sect Master, known for his domineering and tyrannical ways, yield, Zhu Fei dared not underestimate Gu Youlan at all.
Moreover, what amazed Zhu Fei even more was that he faintly sensed a ripple of Spiritual Power emanating from Gu Youlan.
But the flicker of Spiritual Power had been extremely well concealed by Gu Youlan, so much so that even with Zhu Fei’s current level of cultivation, he couldn’t see through her cultivation level at all.
What did this mean? It meant that Gu Youlan’s cultivation was no longer merely at the level of Qi Refinement; she was at least a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Foundation Establishment Cultivator—just thinking about this made Zhu Fei’s scalp tingle.
"Ahem... well, there’s no problem on my end, either."
Zhu Fei felt somewhat helpless. To be honest, he had originally planned to bury Pei Xiaotian and his people right here.
But now that this woman named Gu Youlan had spoken, his mindset was almost the same as Pei Xiaotian’s—regardless of his reluctance and unwillingness, there was nothing he could do.
However, he also knew that with his current strength, to bury Pei Xiaotian and his people here was by no means an easy task.
Zhu Fei couldn’t do it without paying a price.
Moreover, if he really killed the son of Zhenwu Sect, the nature of the matter would completely blow up.
If the Zhenwu Sect were to investigate and trace it back to him, it would definitely lead to a fight to the death, with no second outcome possible.
"Hehe, well, since you all agree, let’s leave it at that."
Gu Youlan still smiled, glancing at Pei Xiaotian and the four others.
Pei Xiaotian realized that Gu Youlan probably wanted them to leave, and without much thought, he respectfully clasped his hands towards Gu Youlan and Hua Tian, who stood behind her like a servant.
Then, without saying much more or threatening Zhu Fei again, he swiftly disappeared from the spot with Tian Fei and the others.
At the same time, Zhu Fei also suddenly felt it.
Just as Pei Xiaotian and the others had left, a subtly intense flicker of ’force’ also momentarily sparked and then likewise vanished completely.
That flicker of ’force’...?
Zhu Fei suddenly frowned, and then he seemed to understand something, his back instantly breaking out in cold sweat.
If he was not mistaken, the owner of the ’force’ that had disappeared with Pei Xiaotian and the others had a cultivation level definitely above the Third Layer of Gang Force.
A martial artist above the Third Layer of Gang Force...
Zhu Fei gasped, and only now did he understand.
It turned out that Pei Xiaotian wasn’t accompanied only by Tian Fei and the others; there had been such an expert hidden in the shadows, and he hadn’t noticed at all.
Thinking this, Zhu Fei’s previous desire to bury Pei Xiaotian and the others, along with a trace of resentment towards Gu Youlan, suddenly vanished.
Joking aside, a martial artist above the Third Layer of Gang Force was definitely not someone he, Zhu Fei, could currently contend with.
Even if it were a martial artist of the First Layer of Gang Force, Zhu Fei would have no choice but to flee obediently; there would be no second option.
If that’s the case, then it was actually Gu Youlan who had helped him. If it weren’t for Gu Youlan’s intervention, Zhu Fei’s fate today...
At this thought, even with Zhu Fei’s fearless disposition, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Hehe, Zhu Fei, it seems you’ve felt it too."
At this moment, Gu Youlan elegantly ran her fingers through her hair again, still smiling amiably as she spoke to Zhu Fei.
