Gu Cangyun's dim and turbid eyes showed a hint of annoyance.
He had been in Canglan City for so many years, and anyone who saw him had to respectfully address him as "Master."
Young cultivators always took pride in being able to speak with him, yet this girl dared to show such disrespect?
"Do you know that offending an alchemist is not a wise move?"
His voice was low and stern, containing a warning. Obviously, Bai Li Hongzhuang's behavior had angered him.
Tong Qingyuan's heart sank. Gu Cangyun didn't have the same tolerance as Master Huan. Even a small matter could make him hold a grudge against someone.
Bai Li Hongzhuang was probably completely offending Gu Cangyun today. While Tong Qingyuan didn't know Bai Li Hongzhuang personally, he didn't want her to antagonize a powerful enemy for this.
With that in mind, Tong Qingyuan gave Bai Li Hongzhuang a signal with his eyes, indicating that she should say something conciliatory.
After all, Gu Cangyun was an elder, and he believed that Gu Cangyun wouldn't go too far with Bai Li Hongzhuang.
Bai Li Hongzhuang saw Tong Qingyuan's reminder and couldn't help but feel a bit more favorable toward him.
Although she and Tong Qingyuan were strangers, Tong Qingyuan reminded her, indicating that he was a decent person.
However, asking her to speak in a conciliatory tone to Gu Cangyun?
Impossible!
"Do you know that offending a rising alchemist is also an unwise move?"
Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips curled with a hint of charm and elegance, and her cool and indifferent voice was filled with a threat.
A third-grade alchemist like Gu Cangyun was simply beneath her notice!
She was already a second-grade alchemist now, and as long as her cultivation level improved, refining third-grade pills would be no problem at all!
With Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, Gu Cangyun and Wei Meidai's expressions changed dramatically.
They had expected Bai Li Hongzhuang to beg for mercy, but instead, she was now threatening Gu Cangyun?
"Hehe." Gu Cangyun was already furious to the extreme but maintained his composure to uphold his image as he coldly laughed, "Since you have such audacity, then tell me your name! I want to see what gives you the confidence to be so arrogant!"
"Arrogant?" Little Black sneered, his face filled with disdain. "I think this old guy is the shameless one!"
"People are invincible when they're shameless. Both Gu Cangyun and Wei Meidai are of the same kind." Little White wore a look of contempt. "Master, he must be seeking revenge against you!"
Little Black and Little White's faces were full of displeasure, but Bai Li Hongzhuang remained calm.
She had no reason to be angry with someone who was so insignificant.
"I am Bai Li Hongzhuang."
Bai Li Hongzhuang remained calm and composed, keeping her name and surname unchanged. She had no fear of Gu Cangyun's revenge!
Upon hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's name, Tong Qingyuan's expression changed slightly.
A few days ago, Bai Li Hongzhuang's name had spread throughout Canglan City because of the appearance of the long-lost Tuojing Pill in her hands.
As an alchemist guild, they naturally paid great attention to alchemy, especially lost pills.
After learning this news, they had also wanted to contact Bai Li Hongzhuang.
However, Canglan Academy had its rules, and no one from any organization could enter the academy to seek out students.
Unexpectedly, Bai Li Hongzhuang had come to the Alchemist Guild today.
Gu Cangyun had been in seclusion studying pills all these days and was unaware of the Tuojing Pill or Bai Li Hongzhuang's name.
"Bai Li Hongzhuang, I'll remember that."
