Chapter 1905

Standing outside the Medicine Master Hall waiting for Yang Kai was none other than Shen Tu.

Hearing Yang Kai’s question, Shen Tu quickly said, “It was my father who asked me to wait for you here.”

“Does President Aio have something to do with me？” Yang Kai asked.

“It’s nothing much, but… Little Mother has woken up. I heard that it was you who refined the pill for her, and she insists on thanking you in person. If Brother Yang has the time, come with me.” Shen Tu said seriously.

“Okay.” Yang Kai nodded.

Immediately, the two walked side by side.

Gu Bihu’s awakening was within Yang Kai’s expectations. After all, before this, Aio had given Gu Bihu a drop of the stock of immortality which had already repaired the injuries on her body. The reason why she had been in a coma was entirely because of the damage to her soul.

One Taichu Soul-returning Pill was enough to solve this problem.

Moreover, the Taichu Soul-returning Pill refined by Yang Kai had Dan Wen on it, and its medicinal effect was several times stronger than that of an ordinary Taichu Soul-returning Pill. With this spiritual pill nourishing the soul, it would be strange if Gu Bihu didn’t wake up. Even she could benefit her soul with the help of that spiritual pill.

On the way, Shen Tu would look at Yang Kai from time to time with a strange expression, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Yang Kai smiled and said, “Brother Shen Tu, if you have anything to ask, just say it. We are not outsiders.”

Shen Tu’s mouth twitched, and he said seriously, “I just want to know, are you really a Void King-level alchemist？ Was that spirit pill really refined by you？”

He had known Yang Kai for quite a while. Although they didn’t have much contact, he had never thought that in these years, Yang Kai not only had achieved success in personal martial arts, but also had such a shocking achievement in alchemy.

Compared with him, his cultivation at the Void Returning Stage was simply scum.

Before, he still somewhat boasted of his outstanding talent, but now… Shen Tu was hit to the core.

“I am indeed a Void King-level alchemist, and the spirit pill was also refined by me.” Yang Kai nodded and admitted.

Shen Tu slapped his thigh chagrin and said, “So, the matter of you competing in alchemy with Master Zuo De is also true?”

“Oh. Has this matter spread？” Yang Kai asked in surprise.

“It has already caused a great sensation. I’m afraid everyone in Shui Tian City knows about it.” Shen Tu said with a mournful face, “If I had known earlier, I would have come to Shui Tian City with you. I missed this good show in vain. I have long been dissatisfied with that Zuo De. Seeing him being hit must be a very pleasing thing.”

Yang Kai smiled slightly and didn’t answer.

“But Brother Yang, do you know my mother？”

“I have never seen her. Why？”

“Since you haven’t met her, why are you willing to use your own two thousand years of freedom to compete with Zuo De in alchemy？ When my mother found out the reason for this, she even blamed my father for not stopping you at that time.”

Yang Kai smiled and said, “Because I know I won’t lose. What does it matter if the bet is big？”

After hearing this, Shen Tu couldn’t help but give Yang Kai a thumbs up and said, “Anyway, no matter what, my mother has a very good impression of you. You’ll know when you meet her later.”

As the two were talking, they soon came to a manor.

This is also inside the Water and Sky City. However, the environment nearby is extremely beautiful and quiet. Presumably, this is the place where Gu Bihu is healing her wounds. There are numerous restriction arrays in the manor. Yang Kai’s spiritual thoughts swept over and he was secretly shocked when he perceived the power of those restrictions.

After entering the manor, there were small bridges and flowing water, and the sound of silk and bamboo rang in the ears, making people involuntarily feel a sense of relaxation and pleasure.

Shen Tu led Yang Kai all the way inside, and no one dared to stop them.

Not long after, they came to the deepest part of the manor. There was a purple bamboo forest here, and there was a seemingly simple hut in the bamboo forest.

Yang Kai felt that there were the auras of three people in the hut. One was President Ai Ou, one was Xue Yue, and there was also a strange aura. Presumably, it was Gu Bihu.

Shen Tu stood still outside the bamboo hut and shouted loudly, “Father, Young Master Yang has been brought here.”

“Come in quickly！” Ai Ou’s voice came from inside the hut.

Shentu smiled at Yang Kai and said, “Brother Yang, please come in.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly and walked straight in.

As soon as he entered the bamboo house, Yang Kai immediately felt that three pairs of eyes were looking at him.

Before he could take a look at the facilities in the house, President Aio laughed heartily and walked over, slapping Yang Kai’s shoulder hard and saying, “Brother Yang, this time Aio must thank you well. If it weren’t for you, my wife wouldn’t have woken up so smoothly.”

He slapped very hard. Although he didn’t use Saint Yuan, the big and thick palm still made a banging sound when it landed on Yang Kai’s shoulder.

Xueyue stood aside with a strange expression.

The corner of Yang Kai’s mouth twitched, and he clasped his fists and said, “President Aio is being polite. Xueyue and I are considered friends. Such a small matter is not worth mentioning.”

“It may be a small matter to you, but to me and my wife, it is a life-saving grace. This kindness and virtue, Aio will never forget.” Aio’s expression became solemn.

Yang Kai smiled slightly and didn’t say anything more, but turned his gaze to the other side.

Since he came in, there has been a pair of bright eyes in this room, constantly looking at him with a taste of scrutiny.

The owner of those eyes was naturally Gu Bihu.

When Yang Kai looked back, Gu Bihu smiled brightly at him.

She didn’t look very old, dressed as a woman in her twenties or thirties. Her martial arts cultivation was at the peak of the Return to Void Mirror. Perhaps because she had just awakened, her face was still a little pale, but it added a sickly beauty to her.

Sure enough, she was a woman of national beauty and heavenly fragrance. Yang Kai understood in his heart that otherwise, Aio wouldn’t have valued her so much.

“You are Master Yang？ Truly a dragon among men, with an extraordinary appearance.” Gu Bihu opened her vermilion lips slightly, her voice very soft but very pleasant to hear.

Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with Gu Bihu’s praise of himself. Because she was only a Return to Void Mirror martial artist, while he was already at the Void King Two-layer Realm. She was speaking to him in the tone of an elder looking at a younger generation, which was a bit impolite in terms of both emotion and reason.

However, Yang Kai didn’t think too much about it and said, “Nice to meet you, Madam Gu!”

Gu Bihu coughed a few times lightly and smiled, saying, “Master Yang is too polite. My life was saved by you. Originally, I should have gone to visit you in person to thank you. But my current situation is really not suitable for walking around, so I can only ask Shentu to invite you over. Master Yang won’t blame me, right？”

“How dare I. Madam Gu is an elder of Snow Moon. I am a friend of Snow Moon, so naturally I should come to visit.”

Gu Bihu nodded slightly, seemingly very satisfied with Yang Kai. This made Aio look confused on the side.

He quickly said, “Just now, my wife and I were discussing how to thank you. But for a while, we really couldn’t think of any good way. Well, Brother Yang, you tell me yourself. What do you want? As long as it is something I can do, I will definitely do it for you.”

Yang Kai’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and couldn’t help but look up at Xue Yue.

Feeling his gaze, Xue Yue quickly looked away and pretended to be calm.

Gu Bihu, who was observing their expressions from the side, suddenly let out a light laugh and said softly, “I suddenly have an idea.”

“Oh? What’s your idea, Madam? Please tell us and let’s hear it.” Ai Ou was overjoyed and quickly looked at her.

Gu Bihu smiled slightly and didn’t speak. Instead, she waved to both Xue Yue and Yang Kai.

The two looked at each other, not knowing what Gu Bihu wanted to do, but they both came to her bedside.

Gu Bihu stretched out her hands, took Xue Yue’s hand with one hand and Yang Kai’s hand with the other, and then brought them together in the middle. She looked at Yang Kai with a smile and said, “Master Yang, do you think this thank-you gift is satisfactory？”

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment. But soon, he laughed and praised, “Madam Gu is ingenious. This thank-you gift. I am very satisfied.”

Xue Yue was also stunned for a while. When she understood what Gu Bihu meant, her pretty face instantly turned bright red, and she stomped her foot coquettishly and said, “Mother…”

Ayo widened his eyes, watched for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He exclaimed in surprise, “Madam, what are you doing？”

“Don’t you understand yet？” Gu Bihu glanced at Ayo and said leisurely, “Master Yang probably already knew Xueyue’s secret, and the two of them may have already fallen in love with each other！”

“What?” Ayo was shocked and immediately changed his previous amiable attitude, looking at Yang Kai with a hostile gaze.

Yang Kai ignored his hostility and smiled slightly： “Madam Gu is right. In fact, I already knew that Xueyue was a woman a long time ago. However… how did Madam Gu discover this？ I didn’t show any obvious flaws, right？ I believe Xueyue wouldn’t tell you about this either.”

Gu Bihu smiled lightly and said, “It’s very simple. You and I don’t know each other. Why would you bet two thousand years of your freedom for me against Master Zuo De？ Since I don’t have the ability to make you do this, and neither does my husband, the only explanation is Xueyue. A man will only do something regardless of the cost when he is paying for a woman.”

Yang Kai showed a look of sudden realization： “So, Madam Gu already guessed this after waking up？”

“Well, I guessed it, but I wasn’t sure. So I asked you to come over, and through the observation just now… I confirmed it.”

“Madam Gu is truly extremely intelligent！” Yang Kai praised. To be able to infer from such a small piece of information that he and Xue Yue were already in love, this was by no means something an ordinary woman could do.

It seems that this Gu Bihu is not only beautiful in appearance.

“Xue Yue, is this true？” Aio’s old face sank almost as if a layer of frost could be scraped off, and he asked.

Xue Yue gently bit her red lip and nodded imperceptibly.

“You… you really infuriated me! Aio looked at her with a look of hating iron for not becoming steel. He had cultivated Xue Yue as the next successor of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, but he didn’t expect Xue Yue to also have a relationship with someone else.

Just thinking about the fact that he had called Yang Kai Brother Yang many times, Aio wished he could find a hole to drill into. No wonder this kid’s expression was so strange at that time. It turned out to be for this reason!

Thinking of this, Aio suddenly felt that he had suffered a great loss.

“Xue Yue is not young anymore. You have raised her as a boy since she was a child. Do you really plan to let her pretend to be a man for a lifetime？” Gu Bihu looked at Aio and said seriously： “Any woman should pursue her own happiness. Master Yang, regardless of his character, appearance, or cultivation, is the best choice and is fully worthy of Xue Yue. Fortunately, the two of them have feelings for each other. Don’t interfere in this matter.”
