"Martial Uncle, this pill is far too valuable. You really didn't have to do this. What have I done to deserve it?"
Hua Yunfei sighed. She had paid such a tremendous price just to bet on his vague, uncertain future. This truly was a high-stakes gamble!
Anyone willing to do such a thing had to possess courage beyond what ordinary people could imagine. With the future unknown, Valley Master had still chosen to do this. One could only imagine her resolve!
Though she said she wasn't good at fighting, she had reached the pinnacle of the world. Just how weak could her combat strength be? She'd said that only to make him feel better.
"For the future of the sect, it's worth it."
Valley Master smiled. Only now did she show the transcendent bearing of an elder, so utterly different from her usual cheerful, lively self that she seemed like a completely different person.
Hua Yunfei felt the warmth of an elder's protection. Valley Master's act was like an umbrella, shielding him from wind and rain as she guided him forward.
Hua Yunfei took a deep breath and looked at Valley Master with a solemn expression. "I won't let Martial Uncle down. Your hopes are entrusted to this pill. I'll carry it with me and accomplish what you hope to see! I promise!"
Valley Master nodded. "Hearing you say that is enough."
Gong Qingyan watched the two of them in silence. From Valley Master's words, she could tell the price she'd paid was enormous. And judging from Hua Yunfei's reaction, the true cost might be even greater than what she could see!
Valley Master truly was an elder worthy of respect!
Even Jiang Ruoyao set down her chopsticks. As she looked at Valley Master, even her normally cool gaze shifted.
