Three days later.
Outside the Ancient Divine Sectâs gate.
"Whatâs going on with Uncle Qiushui? Iâve been waiting for an hour already, why isnât she here yet?" Gu Chenfeng leaned lazily against a big tree, feeling a bit frustrated.
"Where are you headed, junior brother?" A few disciples walked out from the gate.
Gu Chenfeng replied helplessly, "Waiting for Uncle Qiushui."
"Uncle Qiushui? Junior brother, take care!" The disciplesâ faces changed drastically, and they disappeared in a flash.
Seeing their reaction, Gu Chenfeng wasnât surprised at all.
Although Ling Qiushui is a great beauty, her explosive temper is notorious. A single move from her could leave you bedridden for months, making all the Sect disciples terrified of her.
Even Gu Chenfeng, who hadnât been with Ling Qiushui for long, was very afraid of her.
At this moment.
Inside Lingyun Hall.
Ling Qiushui was by the alchemy furnace making elixirs, laughing happily while she worked.
For the past three days, Ling Qiushui had been immersed in alchemy.
Whether it was the Infinite Profound Fire Pill or the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, she was becoming more and more skilled at refining them.
"In just ten days, my True Fire has become so powerful, all the Fire Poison in my body has disappeared, and my Soul Power has significantly improved. If I acquire some treasures to further boost my Soul Power, breaking through the Seventh Grade Realm will be no problem."
"The Infinite Profound Fire Pill is indeed a great treasure. If those alchemists and artifact refiners knew, they would be so envious and jealous."
"And the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, the foundational injuries are almost healed, in at most half a month, I can restore my Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm."
"I should go show off at the Immortal Sword Sect later, must really annoy Yanran that little brat, letâs see if sheâll dare to act smug in front of me anymore, humph humph!"
Ling Qiushui was overjoyed, the more she thought about it the happier she became, completely forgetting about her plans to go to the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association.
Amidst her excitement, Ling Qiushui suddenly frowned and said, "Strange, why do I always feel like Iâm forgetting something, always feel uneasy."
"Forget it, the senior brother always says, sometimes if you canât remember something just let it be, after all, you wonât remember it later either."
However.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Qiushuiâs face changed drastically, exclaiming, "Oh no, Little White hasnât been fed for three days, it wonât get skinny from hunger, right?"
"I need to quickly refine the elixirs, if Little White gets sick from hunger, itâll be angry, and its nasty temper is even worse than mine!"
Ultimately, Ling Qiushui did not even remember about going to Ancient God Mountain.
Outside the gate.
Gu Chenfeng wore a dejected expression and said, "Uncle Qiushui, youâve wasted two hours of my time, what on earth are you doing?"
Another two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Chenfeng, dispirited and leaning against the tree, looking half-dead, said, "Uncle Qiushui, youâve wasted four hours of my time..."
Gu Chenfeng felt both angry and resentful in his heart.
But he didnât dare voice his anger or resentment.
Gu Chenfeng waited until nightfall came.
Unable to bear it anymore, Gu Chenfeng headed directly to Lingyun Hall to see what on earth Ling Qiushui was up to.
At this moment.
The female disciples of Lingyun Hall had all gone back to cultivate.
"Soul Power, Uncle Qiushui is doing alchemy!" Sensing Ling Qiushuiâs Soul Power, Gu Chenfeng was instantly furious.
Gu Chenfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Iâve been waiting outside the gate all day, and Uncle was doing alchemy!"
The more Gu Chenfeng thought about it the angrier he became, striding towards the main hall.
"Another success! Managed to refine thirteen Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pills today! Haha!" Just as Gu Chenfeng approached the main hall, he heard Ling Qiushuiâs happy laughter echoing from inside.
Just as the laughter subsided, the perceptive Ling Qiushui sensed someone outside the hall.
"Who is it?" Ling Qiushui yelled coldly, a powerful force directly swung the door open.
"Uncle, itâs me." Gu Chenfeng said with a gloomy face.
Upon seeing Gu Chenfeng, Ling Qiushuiâs expression changed sharply, thinking to herself, "Oh no, agreed to go to Ancient God Mountain in three days, I completely forgot, didnât this little brat wait at the gate all day?"
If it wasnât for seeing Gu Chenfeng, Ling Qiushui would have forgotten about it entirely.
Seeing Gu Chenfengâs unhappy face, Ling Qiushui thought for a moment, then with a stern face said, "Gu Chenfeng, youâre quite daring, daring to disturb Uncleâs alchemy, is your skin itching?"
"Uncle Qiushui, we agreed to go to the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association, I waited for you at the gate for a whole day, but you were doing alchemy, and yet you have the nerve to say I disturbed you, when it was obviously you who forgot." Gu Chenfeng defended himself strongly.
"Forgot?" Ling Qiushui put her hands on her hips, glaring at Gu Chenfeng and said, "I said three days later, three days later, did you not understand? Did I specify what hour?"
"As an uncle, Iâm busy every day making elixirs for the Sect, Iâm still making elixirs now, is it easy for me?"
"..." Gu Chenfeng was dumbfounded.
Seriously? This was okay?
Ling Qiushui continued to scold, "Uncle hasnât called for you, what are you doing at the gate? Donât you know to seize the time to cultivate? Canât you let Uncle worry a bit less? When itâs time to cultivate, just cultivate properly."
"..." Gu Chenfeng was completely stunned.
Ling Qiushui not only has an explosive temper, but sheâs also unreasonable, and now sheâs even playing the blame game.
Gu Chenfeng came to Lingyun Hall just to get an explanation.
Like Ling Qiushui saying sorry or admitting she forgot due to alchemy, anything would do.
But not only did Gu Chenfeng not get any explanation, he got a scolding instead, he felt utterly wronged.
"Why arenât you speaking?" Ling Qiushui glanced sharply at Gu Chenfeng.
"I..." Gu Chenfeng didnât know what to say.
Ling Qiushui asked coldly, "Realize your mistake?"
"Huh?" Gu Chenfeng was bewildered again.
Who exactly was in the wrong here?
"Hmm?" Ling Qiushui slightly furrowed her brows.
"Disciple realizes his mistake." Gu Chenfeng hurriedly bowed to admit fault, instantly losing any anger.
Ling Qiushui was very powerful, plus she was an Uncle, not to mention the Sect Leader and Eldersâ junior sister, Gu Chenfeng dared not provoke her.
"Hmm." Ling Qiushui nodded seriously, saying, "Uncle wonât blame you this time, focus more on cultivation in the future, donât wander around idly."
"Disciple will surely work hard in cultivation." Gu Chenfeng felt a thousand horses galloping in his heart.
"Humph humph! A little brat like you wants to challenge me? Youâre still a bit green." Ling Qiushui was immensely pleased with herself.
Glancing at Gu Chenfeng, Ling Qiushui cleared her throat and said, "The elixir has been refined to the best quality, we can now set off for Ancient God Mountain."
Gu Chenfeng was taken aback, asking, "Uncle, itâs already dark, are you sure about going now?"
Ling Qiushui grabbed Gu Chenfengâs collar and pulled him over, smiling, "Uncle likes it, canât she?"
"S...Sure" Gu Chenfeng nodded like a chick pecking at rice, breaking out into a cold sweat.
Gu Chenfeng regretted coming to Lingyun Hall.
If he had known, he might have preferred waiting at the gate.
