"Master Gu, you've arrived."
Tong Qingyuan saw Gu Cangyun's arrival and immediately showed a respectful and polite smile on his face.
Although Tong Qingyuan and Gu Cangyun were both alchemists, Gu Cangyun was a third-rank alchemist, while he was only a second-rank alchemist.
Moreover, Gu Cangyun was older than him and his senior in the field.
Gu Cangyun nodded slightly, but his gaze locked onto Baili Hongzhuang.
"What's your name? How dare you be so disrespectful to my disciple!" Gu Cangyun's voice was filled with indignation and questioning. He was known for protecting his own, and now Baili Hongzhuang had belittled his proud disciple?
Whether in Fengbo Kingdom or Yanxu Kingdom, there were very few people of Wei Meidai's age who could participate in the assessment to become an alchemist. Only Liu Qinyue, the disciple of Huan Chu, could truly surpass Wei Meidai as a talented alchemist. Others couldn't even compare.
Although this girl before him had decent looks, she dared to look down on his disciple like that, as if they weren't even on the same level.
Since she was so disrespectful, there was no need for her to answer.
Respect was always mutual.
A mere third-rank alchemist didn't have the qualification to make her answer his question.
Baili Hongzhuang glanced indifferently at Gu Cangyun and Wei Meidai, but she didn't answer.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's attitude unchanged even after Gu Cangyun's arrival, Wei Meidai was also stunned. Did this woman not know her master's identity?
Anyone in Canglan City would treat their own master with respect. How could this woman who seemed to have come from a remote place dare to ignore her master's question?
"Hey, my master is asking you a question, how dare you not answer?" Wei Meidai raised her voice and questioned Baili Hongzhuang, as if Baili Hongzhuang had committed some great offense.
Baili Hongzhuang's expression turned slightly cold, and her black eyes radiated a distant and indifferent aura.
"Just because you ask a question doesn't mean I have to answer."
Her voice was cold and pleasant to the ears, but her words caused a momentary pause in the atmosphere.
Tong Qingyuan looked at Baili Hongzhuang in astonishment. While he believed that Wei Meidai's arrogance had largely led to this situation, he didn't expect Baili Hongzhuang to have such an attitude towards Gu Cangyun. It was beyond his expectations.
The onlookers also widened their mouths in surprise. Wasn't Baili Hongzhuang being too audacious?
In ordinary days, not to mention the Alchemist Guild, no one in Canglan City dared to show the slightest disrespect towards Gu Cangyun.
Now, Baili Hongzhuang dared to be so disrespectful to Gu Cangyun in person?
Leaving everything else aside, her courage alone was admirable.
"Master Gu is famous for protecting his own and being petty. Can you believe that Baili Hongzhuang has offended him?"
"The things Wei Meidai does on ordinary days are all indulged by Master Gu. It's refreshing to see Baili Hongzhuang doing something like this."
"But, offending Master Gu, Baili Hongzhuang won't have an easy time in Canglan City..."
The crowd sighed and looked at Baili Hongzhuang with a tinge of regret in their eyes.
