At this moment, he even had the illusion that he was about to have a romantic encounter.
Gu Shuai was also somewhat surprised, and asked curiously, "What?! A beauty? Where is she?!" As a cultivator of Hongchen Mountain, he had a special attraction to beautiful female cultivators.
He immediately looked around. At the same time, a leisurely female voice sounded from not far away, "Where are you looking? The beauty is right here!"
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Gu Shuai froze for a moment. He then followed the sound and was utterly shocked.
What met his eyes was none other than Ye Yun, whom he had just been discussing, along with Lin Xueyan and the other female disciples!
They were all standing not far away, smiling at him.
Especially Fang Zhiwei, who was waving at him with a smile.
Undoubtedly, the female voice that had just come was hers.
Seeing this, Gu Shuai's two close friends were a little surprised and asked, "Damn, Gu Shao, you know beauties of this caliber and didn't tell us?!"
Clearly, they mistook these women for Gu Shuai's friends.
But as soon as they finished speaking, Gu Shuai shot them a look.
"All of you, shut up!"
He stopped the two of them, fearing they would say anything disrespectful.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
The two were startled by his sudden harsh scolding, but seeing his serious expression, they vaguely understood something.
They wondered if these women were people of special status?
At this moment, Ye Yun smiled and said to him, "Yo, isn't this Young Master Gu? Long time no see."
Hearing this, Gu Shuai quickly stepped forward and said with an awkward laugh, "Um... Senior, why are you here? Is there something important?"
His heart was pounding out of his chest.
This was incredible; the Star Lord he had been discussing was actually nearby.
Hadn't the other party heard everything he had just said?
While he was feeling uneasy, Ye Yun explained with a faint smile, "It's nothing major. It's just that there's a wedding coming up, and based on Zhiwei's recommendation, we're here to get some groom's attire."
"Oh, oh, oh, so that's how it is!"
Gu Shuai nodded repeatedly and then said with a smile, "You should have said so earlier! If I had known, I would have sent someone to welcome you!"
In his eyes, Ye Yun was now the sole king of the Heavenly Realm.
Wherever he went, he naturally deserved proper respect!
Ye Yun smiled faintly and shook his head, "It's fine. I'm just buying some clothes. There's no need to make a big fuss about it."
"That's true..."
Gu Shuai sighed and said, "You're still as low-key as ever."
Meanwhile, the two sales managers who were serving Ye Yun and Gu Shuai were somewhat shocked to see Gu Shuai's extremely respectful attitude towards this young man.
Who was Gu Shuai? He was a figure who could control everything in Hongchen Tianzhou, and even had a say in the Heavenly Realm.
Yet, he was now so respectful to a young man?
His two close friends were even more bewildered.
"Who exactly is this? It's the first time I've seen Gu Shao so well-behaved..."
The Gu Shuai they usually saw, while not necessarily arrogant, was quite straightforward and forceful. If he could solve something with his strength and influence, he would never waste words.
Furthermore, they had never seen him grovel to anyone before. This was truly...
While they were shocked, Ye Yun looked at Gu Shuai and asked with a smile, "By the way, what were you just saying? That I and your master are in some kind of dual cultivation relationship?"
How to make a handsome Gu Shuai despair in one sentence.
Good heavens, this person had indeed heard everything.
He chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, "Um, you... you've misunderstood."
Gu Shuai tried his best to maintain a calm tone. "What I meant was, a dual cultivation that doesn't involve anything happening."
Gu Shuai never dreamed that his slight embellishment would run into Ye Yun himself.
This was a bit too embarrassing...
But whether he said it or not, whether Ye Yun believed it was another matter.
"Oh really? Then it seems I misunderstood?"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and said playfully, "In that case, why don't we talk about this with your master when we get back to Chaofeng Mountain? What do you think?"
The last time he made a crude joke, he was sent to heaven.
This time, he was spreading rumors about his master. The outcome didn't need much thought.
As expected, as soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, Gu Shuai's face turned pale, and he quickly grabbed Ye Yun's hand and said, "No, no, no! Brother, no, sir!"
He said impatiently, his words becoming a little inaccurate for a moment.
Ye Yun smiled gently and said, "You can just call me by my name."
"No, no, no, how dare I."
Gu Shuai waved his hands repeatedly and said with a fawning smile, "If master finds out, she'll beat me to death!"
Since a long time ago, his master had taught him to show proper respect when facing Ye Yun, otherwise...
Hearing this, Ye Yun chuckled, "Is that so? Then what if you tell her you spread rumors about her?"
"Senior Ye! Please don't!"
Gu Shuai quickly begged for mercy, his face filled with fear. "Last time she just threw me outside and then forgot about me, leaving me alone in outer space for three months!"
"If you tell her this time, I probably won't be able to come down for a whole year!"
He had never feared anything in the world, but he was terrified of his master, who looked very cute and harmless.
Seeing him like this, Ye Yun let out a soft snort and said, "So, do you know you were wrong?"
"Of course! Of course!"
He looked at Ye Yun pleadingly and apologized repeatedly. "I swear I will never speak such wild words again! Otherwise, may I never stand up again!"
"..."
Ye Yun's eyebrows twitched. Good heavens, for a cultivator of Hongchen Mountain to make such an oath, he was indeed a ruthless one.
Then, he nodded and said, "Alright, considering your sincerity, this is the last time. Do you understand?"
"I hear you! I remember!"
Gu Shuai quickly agreed, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this person still cared about him.
He wasn't wrong about this. It wasn't a big deal in the first place. Ye Yun had said that more to scare him.
It was impossible for him to specifically call Xu Binglan over and report him for such a minor matter.
Of course, if the other party truly showed no remorse, and he happened to meet his master another day, he couldn't guarantee what he might say!
