1008 The Trembling Holy Beast 8

"Miss Gu, may I ask you a question?"

Ye Ying turned his attention away from Gu Lan and on to Gu Ruoyun. This was a question that he had been wanting to ask over the past few days, but could not.

"Go ahead," Gu Ruoyun raised her brow and replied in a succinct manner.

"I'd like to know... Are you Gu Ruoyun, the genius woman whose name has spread far and wide since the Medicine Sect's general meeting?"

In the beginning, perhaps Ye Ying would not have considered this.

However, ever since the Beast King had changed his demeanor, he's felt the need to ask her the question on a few occasions!

After all, he simply couldn't figure it out. Aside from that abnormality, who else would have the power to drive a holy beast into fear?

If it were actually her, it would explain all of the freakish events that had unfolded before them!

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!

Instantly, the entire forest fell silent.

All eyes turned towards Gu Ruoyun, waiting for her answer.

Silence!

The entire forest was so quiet that you could only hear the sound of a soft breeze.

Just as anticipation had begun to build up the crowd's hearts, the woman chuckled lightly. Her laughter echoed throughout the forest.

"That's right. I am!"

Hong!

It was like a huge bolt of lightning had slammed fiercely into everyone's hearts. Some were so shocked that they were unable to speak. Their eyes fixed squarely upon her austere and dusty face.

"So it really is you."

Ye Ying laughed bitterly. "Who else would possess such great power, aside from you? You are not only a legendary pill master but a peerless genius in cultivation!"

It's fine if someone were only a powerful genius, but she was a legendary pill master!

She's already been having such rapid breakthroughs, where would she find the time to research pill refinement?

Yet she had also managed to become a pill master alongside her rapid cultivation speed!

Ye Ying seriously wanted to know how she managed to achieve this! He, on the other hand, had put all of his time into cultivation and still could not be compared to this woman. 

Indeed, it was infuriating when people compete with each other!

"You're a pill master?" Gu Lan finally returned to her senses. Her large vivid eyes stared delightedly at Gu Ruoyun. She smiled sweetly. "Leader, we've really uncovered a treasure this time! I never thought that we'd actually run into the real Gu Ruoyun, and not one of those imposters."

Previously, the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries' Leader had boasted in front of them, saying that Gu Ruoyun had joined their Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries and would help him in refining pills! In the end, the imposter swindled their food and drinks for an entire month and disappeared. 

From then on, anyone who so much as mention Gu Ruoyun's name would be dreadfully beaten up by his men!

However, that guy would never have guessed, that the World Destruction Mercenaries would have been so lucky as to have been given the opportunity to interact with the real Gu Ruoyun for so many days!

"Miss Gu, you're on your way to the main city. So you'll pass by our Green Maple City along the way. In the next few days, Green Maple City will be organizing a large auction, and many people from far and wide will be in attendance. I wonder if you'd be interested, Miss Gu?"

Ye Ying smiled as he asked in a magnetic voice.

Auction?

Gu Ruoyun gently stroked her chin and fell silent.

I've made the journey to Northern Block Territory for the sake of Medicinal Herbs. I wonder if I'd find what I need in that auction?

"Alright."

Gu Ruoyun nodded. "Then I'll stay in Green Maple City for a few days. I'll leave after the auction."

"Miss Gu, you've helped us so much. Once the auction has ended, we'll escort you to the main city."

Ye Ying laughed as he replied. Obviously, he was in a pretty good mood.
