Make Yan Ran Take Me as Her Master

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Inside the cave, Gu He took out the bundle Xiao Yi Xian had given him before he left from his Storage Ring.

When he opened it, he found some pastries inside.

Xiao Yi Xian had always been a skilled cook. These pastries had clearly been made with great care; they were exquisite and looked very appetizing.

Gu He picked up a pastry and put it into his mouth.

Mm, it tasted pretty good.

Gu He could not help but eat a few more.

Then, Gu He turned his gaze to Yun Yun, who was still lying on the ground, picked up several pastries, and walked over.

Hearing Gu He's footsteps, Yun Yun instinctively opened her eyes.

"How are you feeling?" Gu He asked with concern, crouching down with a smile on his face.

Sensing the concern in Gu He's words, Yun Yun revealed a faint smile and said, "Much better."

Gu He raised the pastries in his hand and said slowly, "Xiao Yi Xian made these pastries for me. Would you like some?"

Yun Yun had not eaten for an entire day and night, so she was naturally hungry. Hearing Gu He's words, she immediately nodded slightly and answered, "All right."

Gu He then reached out and helped Yun Yun's delicate body into a seated position.

He picked up a pastry and held it to Yun Yun's lips, saying gently, "Eat. It tastes pretty good."

Seeing the pastry offered to her lips, Yun Yun's pretty face reddened slightly. She glanced at Gu He with her beautiful eyes, then lightly took a small bite.

Watching Yun Yun's red lips move gently as she chewed slowly, Gu He asked softly, "How does it taste?"

"Mm."

After swallowing the pastry in her mouth, Yun Yun nodded gently. Thinking of Xiao Yi Xian's obedient appearance, affection appeared in her beautiful eyes. "That girl's cooking is really good."

"I'm glad you like it."

Hearing that, Gu He smiled and once again brought the pastry in his hand to Yun Yun's lips. "Later, I'll go out and catch a few fish for you to nourish your body."

Yun Yun was far too weak right now and could not handle greasy food. She could only eat some fish to replenish her nutrition.

Yun Yun gently bit off another mouthful of pastry, glanced at Gu He, and nodded slightly.

It took Yun Yun four or five bites to finish one pastry.

When she reached the last small piece, Yun Yun's red lips even brushed against Gu He's fingers, making her cheeks flush even more deeply.

"Have another one."

Seeing Yun Yun lick her red lips, Gu He picked up another pastry and brought it to her lips.

Yun Yun did not refuse and opened her mouth again.

A moment later.

"I can't eat any more."

After eating the fourth pastry, Yun Yun shook her head, indicating that she was full.

"Then don't eat anymore."

Gu He smiled faintly at that, then looked at the half-eaten pastry in his hand and casually tossed it into his own mouth.

His treasured disciple had carefully made it for him. He could not let it go to waste.

Seeing Gu He directly eat the pastry she had already eaten, Yun Yun was briefly stunned. Then, a trace of shyness flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"Sect Leader, what did you come to the Monster Beast Mountain Range for this time?"

Gu He did not notice the change in Yun Yun's expression. He simply picked up another pastry and put it into his mouth before casually asking, "And why did you fight the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"

Hearing this, Yun Yun was pulled back from her thoughts. After pondering for a moment, she said softly, "I came to the Monster Beast Mountain Range this time for Purple Spirit Crystal."

Gu He had naturally known Yun Yun's purpose in coming to the Monster Beast Mountain Range long ago.

What puzzled him was why she wanted Purple Spirit Crystal.

Thinking of this, Gu He asked again, "Purple Spirit Crystal? What do you need that thing for? It's the Amethyst Winged Lion King's treasure. If you want it, of course it will fight you to the death."

Thinking back on this operation, Yun Yun also felt that she had been somewhat rash.

She had believed that, after breaking through to a Five-star Dou Emperor, she could easily handle the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

But she had not expected the Amethyst Winged Lion King to have the Amethyst Seal as a trump card.

If Gu He had not appeared in time, she would probably have been reduced to bones by now.

A bitter smile appeared on Yun Yun's lips as she slowly said, "I was preparing this Purple Spirit Crystal for Yan Ran."

"I obtained an ancient scroll that recorded a Fifth-Grade Pill called the Purple Crystal Pill. Once consumed by someone in the Da Dou Shi realm, it can directly raise them by three realms without any side effects."

"And Purple Spirit Crystal is the main ingredient of this Purple Crystal Pill."

"Purple Crystal Pill?"

Gu He was slightly stunned upon hearing that. Then information about the Purple Crystal Pill immediately surfaced in his mind.

He had inherited the memories and insights of a Ninth-Grade Alchemist, and those memories contained records of the Purple Crystal Pill.

It was a rather special kind of extraordinary pill.

Gu He turned to Yun Yun and said, "Yan Ran hasn't even broken through to Dou Master yet, and you're already preparing pills for when she reaches the Da Dou Shi realm. Isn't that a little too early?"

Yun Yun said softly, "You don't know this, but news came from Wutan City that the young man from the Xiao Family whose engagement Yan Ran annulled—after Yan Ran annulled it, for some unknown reason, not only did his talent recover, it even surpassed what it had been before. In just a few months, he broke through to the Dou Zhe realm. That worries me."

"The three-year agreement between Yan Ran and that young man from the Xiao Family concerns not only Yan Ran's future, but also the reputation of the Misty Cloud Sect. Therefore, Yan Ran can only win the three-year agreement. She must not lose." As she spoke, a solemn expression appeared on Yun Yun's pretty face.

Clearly, she placed great importance on this three-year agreement.

After all, the Misty Cloud Sect's annulment of the engagement had plainly shown its contempt for Xiao Yan.

This had already had quite an impact on the Misty Cloud Sect's reputation.

But if, three years later, Nalan Yanran, the Misty Cloud Sect's favored genius, were to lose to Xiao Yan—the very person she had once looked down on—

then the good reputation the Misty Cloud Sect had accumulated over so many years would likely be destroyed in an instant.

After hearing Yun Yun's words, Gu He looked somewhat surprised.

The Misty Cloud Sect truly deserved to be called the Jia Ma Empire's foremost sect. It could learn so quickly of what had happened to the Xiao Family all the way in Wutan City.

For Yun Yun to risk coming to the Monster Beast Mountain Range to obtain Purple Spirit Crystal—

it seemed Xiao Yan had put considerable pressure on Yun Yun.

In truth, Gu He did not know that Yun Yun's trip to obtain Purple Spirit Crystal also had something to do with him.

In the original story, Yun Yun had indeed come to the Monster Beast Mountain Range to obtain Purple Spirit Crystal.

But the timeline had been at least half a year later.

There were two reasons Yun Yun had come to the Monster Beast Mountain Range ahead of time.

The first was that after taking the Imperial Pill and advancing in cultivation, Yun Yun had become confident in her strength.

The second reason was Nalan Yanran.

During this period, perhaps because Xiao Yi Xian had dealt her an enormous blow, Nalan Yanran had lost her former confidence. She had even begun to question whether her talent truly was as extraordinary as everyone claimed.

Perhaps because there was a knot in her heart, Nalan Yanran's cultivation had been in poor condition throughout this period.

This worried Yun Yun even more.

With Nalan Yanran in such a state of mind, she might truly lose to that young man from the Xiao Family when the time came for the three-year agreement.

Yun Yun planned to prepare the ingredients for the Purple Crystal Pill.

Perhaps that would allow Nalan Yanran to regain her former confidence.

Inside the cave, after hearing Yun Yun's words and seeing the worry on her face, Gu He's heart stirred slightly.

After a moment of silence, Gu He slowly said, "Sect Leader, I have a suggestion that might be able to help you."

Hearing this, Yun Yun looked at Gu He with curiosity in her eyes.

Gu He did not beat around the bush and said directly, "It's simple. Let Yan Ran become my disciple."

"Become your disciple?"

Yun Yun was stunned, looking somewhat incredulous. "You want to take Yan Ran as your disciple?"

Gu He nodded slightly, his expression serious. "As long as Yan Ran becomes my disciple, I can guarantee that when the day of the three-year agreement arrives, that girl will have reached at least the Dou Wang realm."

Gu He's words were full of confidence.

With the Ten Thousandfold Return for Disciple System, he would become the best teacher.

No one could compare to him when it came to teaching disciples.

As long as Nalan Yanran became his disciple, her three-year agreement with Xiao Yan would become a joke.

Nalan Yanran would defeat Xiao Yan in utterly crushing fashion.

"Dou Wang?"

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes narrowed as she looked at Gu He. "Elder Gu He, are you serious?"

"Sect Leader, you don't believe me?"

Faced with Yun Yun's doubts, Gu He still smiled. "If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"

A glimmer flashed through Yun Yun's beautiful eyes. "A bet?"

"On the day of the three-year agreement, if Yan Ran has not broken through to the Dou Wang realm, then I will agree to one condition of yours."

Gu He spoke slowly.

Yun Yun was surprised. "You're that confident?"

Clearly, Yun Yun did not quite believe Gu He's words.

Although Gu He was now a Dou Zong powerhouse,

that only represented his own talent.

There were only a little over two years left until the three-year agreement.

If Gu He guaranteed that he could raise Nalan Yanran to the Dou Ling realm in such a short time, Yun Yun might have believed him somewhat.

After all, he was a Dou Zong powerhouse and naturally possessed many mysterious methods.

Moreover, Yun Yun thought of Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation progress during this period.

If Nalan Yanran could cultivate at such a pace, she truly could reach the Dou Ling realm by the time of the three-year agreement.

But that was only the Dou Ling realm.

It was still far from the Dou Wang realm Gu He had mentioned.

Gu He smiled. "Since I dare to make such a guarantee, naturally I have the confidence to do so."

"Well, Sect Leader, do you dare accept this bet?" Gu He looked at Yun Yun with a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth.

Yun Yun did not agree immediately. Instead, she asked, "Then what if I lose?"

"If you lose..."

Gu He thought for a moment. The corners of his lips rose slightly as his gaze swept over Yun Yun's pretty face. "It's simple. Just have Yan Ran change the way she addresses you a little."

"Change how she addresses me?"

Yun Yun looked puzzled. "Change it to what?"

A smile flashed through Gu He's eyes. "If Yan Ran successfully breaks through to the Dou Wang realm on the day of the three-year agreement, then have her call you... Master's Wife from then on."
