Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next morning.

As expected by Gu Xi, many people entered the inn early in the morning to visit him. Most of these people came from some famous sects and forces or influential families in Jingyang City. Even some sects around Jingyang City rushed over after hearing about this.

The inn, which was not big before, was now full of people. People gathered in twos and threes, waiting for Gu Xi to show up. They did not come empty-handed. Almost all of them carried a large number of high-level spirit weapons, precious spirit herbs, and countless spirit stones. All of these were to build a connection between the forces behind them and Gu Xi.

Once they established a connection, life would definitely be easier for them in the future. It could even be said that as long as Gu Xi wanted to, the forces behind them would immediately open their doors and welcome him to join them.

On the other hand, Gu Xi, who was the main character, was currently calmly sipping tea in his room upstairs. He did not have the slightest intention of showing his face.

This was because he clearly knew in his heart that if he were to show his face now, he would definitely cause a huge sensation. At that time, he would also attract countless troubles for himself.

A tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. He was still aware of this principle.

Moreover, everyone believed that the alchemist who had refined an eight-grade medicinal pill should be a white-haired old man. If they saw Gu Xi’s appearance, which was only in his early twenties, it was likely that everyone’s jaws would drop.

“Everyone, the grandmaster needs to recuperate and recover these few days. Please return to your residences.”

On the first floor of the Inn, Little Nine and Song Qingluan appeared. The former spoke to the crowd below with an indifferent tone, as if he did not care about them at all.

If Gu Xi had not given the order, he would probably have disdained to pay attention to these people. Of course, if these people did not open their eyes to provoke him, he would not mind taking action.

“Eh, what beautiful women.”

The appearance of the two immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Immediately, numerous gazes fell on the two of them. Many people subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

“May I ask who you two are? How can you represent that Grandmaster?”

After the shock, someone in the crowd cautiously asked.

Once these words were said, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. After all, they did not know these women. They had come here to visit the Alchemist Master yesterday. They could not just go back just because a stranger told them to, right?

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”

Little Nine could not be bothered to explain so much to that person’s question. A faint pressure slowly spread out from that enchanting figure. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped everyone present.

Feeling this irresistible pressure, everyone’s expressions changed. Immediately, they did not dare to make any sound, afraid that they would accidentally make Little Nine unhappy and die miserably here.

“I’ll give you one minute to disappear from my sight.” Little Nine stretched out a finger and waved it. At the same time, the pressure enveloping everyone instantly dissipated into nothingness. Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Even though Little Nine had already made things clear, everyone still did not leave immediately. Instead, their faces were filled with hesitation and did not know what to do.

They did not come here to represent themselves. However, they all represented the factions behind them. If they returned without accomplishing anything, they would definitely be punished to a certain extent.

“Since Master needs to rest, My Howling Tiger Sect will not disturb you any longer.”

After a moment of silence, a valiant middle-aged man took the initiative to speak. He cupped his hands towards Little Nine and Little Nine from a distance, he continued, “However, I have some small gifts here. Although it is not respectful, please accept them on behalf of Master.”

After he spoke, the middle-aged man threw a storage bag in front of Little Nine. Immediately, he did not stay any longer and hurriedly left with his followers behind him, as though he was afraid that Little Nine would return.

“Our Sky Spear Sect sincerely invites the Master to come to the sect for a chat.”

“Jing Yang City’s Liu family. It’s just a small gift. I don’t have to pay my respects.”

“The Longyin Sect in the north of the city…”

…

With the middle-aged man’s example, everyone immediately reacted and began to imitate the man’s behavior. They all bowed to Little Nine and the other two, then, one storage bag after another was delivered to Little Nine and Little Nine.

Little Nine frowned. She naturally knew that Gu Xi did not want to have any contact with these people, but before she could react, everyone had already thrown down their things, turned around, and ‘ran away’.

“It seems like they gained quite a lot.”

At this moment, a leisurely voice sounded. Gu Xi had unknowingly walked out of the room and was leaning against the railing upstairs to look down.

“These things haven’t been returned yet.”

Song Qingluan pointed at the storage bag that was piled up like a small mountain and felt a little helpless.

Gu Xi shook his head. He smiled and said, “It’s a free gift. I didn’t ask them to send it anyway. Now that your cultivation has just started, there should be a lot of things that you can use. You can look for them one by one.”

Song Qingluan was stunned for a moment before she immediately realized that Gu Xi was talking to her. She hurriedly nodded in agreement and then carried the storage bag back to her room.

“Are you still waiting for the people from Hall of Flowing Light?” looking at Gu Xi who had fallen into silence once again, Little Nine asked.

“Yes.” Gu Xi nodded. In the next moment, he seemed to have sensed something and raised his head to look in a certain direction in the distance.

There, a figure was standing in the air.

“He’s finally here.” Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and muttered.

He knew that the person who came was definitely someone from the Hall of Flowing Light, and it was definitely the Branch Hall Master of the Hall of Flowing Light in Jingyang City, Duan Hao’s father, Duan Tianming!

Soon, the figure rushed toward the direction of the inn.

In just a few breaths’ time, that person had already appeared on the first floor of the inn. He was dressed in a gray long robe and looked like a middle-aged man. His expression was cold, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy, angry, sad, or happy. He hid his emotions very well.

However, even so, Gu Xi could still catch a trace of anger deep within his eyes.

“Duan Tianming of the Hall of Flowing Light.I sincerely invited Master to the main hall of the Hall of Flowing Light for a chat.”

Duan Tianming forced out a smile and said with the corners of his mouth twitching.

“So it’s Hall Master Duan. Sorry for not welcoming you earlier.” The corners of Gu Xi’s mouth lifted slightly as he said with a smile.

Duan Tianming raised his head and looked over. The instant he saw Gu Xi, the killing intent in his eyes almost could not be concealed. Fortunately, he forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart.

According to the reports of the few disciples who had returned to the Hall of Flowing Light earlier, the person who had killed Duan Hao was a young man dressed in green clothes!
