Meng Yirou was actually quite bold.

At least when Bai Fei'er saw what she was about to do, her face turned pale, but she didn't dare stop her. She could only whisper, "Saintess, you can't just mess with the senior's medicine cabinet!"

The Saintess of the Divine Medical Palace was truly audacious!

Even though Bai Fei'er thought Senior Gu was easygoing, bringing someone over and rummaging through his medicine cabinet while he wasn't around was something no one would tolerate, no matter how good their temper!

If this went on, wouldn't both she and Meng Yirou be doomed!?

"Don't worry, I'm just taking a look."

Meng Yirou didn't care at all.

Her title as the Saintess of the Divine Medical Palace was not something many in this world could ignore. Meng Yirou didn't believe that this reclusive Senior Gu was one of those few, and she still doubted whether this Senior Gu was real.

At the very least, she didn't believe that any alchemist in this world could refine the Star-Moon Divine Water in just a short time.

Her master couldn't do it, and her master was already a Ninth Grade Alchemist, the pinnacle of the alchemy path.

"Since you're not here, I'll just take a look at your things..."

With that thought, Meng Yirou reached out and pulled open the drawer of the medicine cabinet—there were no restrictions, no locks, and it opened easily.

Inside, there was nothing.

She frowned and opened several other drawers, but found nothing.

According to Bai Fei'er, Senior Gu had picked Eternal Life Ironwood, Red Gold Grass, and Ancient Dragon Tooth Powder from the medicine cabinet before refining the medicine, as if those treasures of heaven and earth, which were rare even in the Divine Medical Palace, were just casually placed in the cabinet for anyone to find.

But there was nothing here?

This only deepened Meng Yirou's doubts. No matter how detached from worldly affairs, those treasures of heaven and earth were still someone's collection over many years, right? How could they not be stored properly, but instead placed in a medicine hall, as if for show?

Unless Senior Gu didn't care about these so-called "treasures of heaven and earth," but Meng Yirou had never met such a person.

She didn't believe anyone could be indifferent to these precious items that could cause bloodshed and chaos.

"Fei'er, it seems what you said isn't quite true."

Meng Yirou turned around, somewhat disappointed, and looked at Bai Fei'er, raising her eyebrows. She didn't think Bai Fei'er was lying, because the poison she had was indeed only curable by the Star-Moon Divine Water or even rarer divine medicines. Divine medicines weren't common, and ordinary people couldn't just produce them.

Those treasures that even Great Ascension stage cultivators would fight over, let alone the Bai Family, even the royal family of the Sunflare Empire couldn't obtain them.

So, Meng Yirou's suspicion shifted.

She thought maybe Bai Fei'er hadn't been poisoned by the so-called "Devouring True Demon Gu" at all, and her cultivation had simply vanished and then inexplicably returned. After all, she was a prodigy of the empire, and suddenly falling from grace and being confused was quite normal.

As for the help from this so-called "Hidden World Master"... Meng Yirou still believed it was true.

Because the Sacred Grade Divine Weapon at Bai Fei'er's waist was no fake!

Her own weapon was a pair of Sacred Grade Yin-Yang Jade Extension Rings, and she could afford such weapons because she was the Saintess of one of the three great Divine Palaces. But Bai Fei'er?

The Bai Family's patriarch, Bai Qianshan, couldn't afford such a thing, and in Meng Yirou's view, Bai Qianshan didn't seem like the kind of father who would spoil his daughter to the extent of giving her a Sacred Grade Divine Weapon, something the entire Sunflare Empire couldn't produce a second of.

Despite her doubts, since she was here, Meng Yirou thought she should at least meet the "senior" Bai Fei'er spoke of.

But this medicine hall... well, it looked like it was about to be abandoned.

"The medicine cabinet of Senior Gu should have those materials..."

Bai Fei'er also looked embarrassed.

She wasn't worried that Meng Yirou would think she was lying or talking nonsense; she was more concerned about Senior Gu.

The senior who helped her, gave her divine medicine, and gifted her a divine weapon, who looked so young.

Rather than fearing she might offend Meng Yirou, Bai Fei'er disliked Meng Yirou offending Gu Heng. These prodigies from Transcendent Powers always thought they had strong backing and often had rebellious personalities. Moreover, Bai Fei'er truly didn't dare say who was more powerful, Senior Gu or the Divine Medical Palace's master.

"If we can't see him, then this trip would be somewhat..."

Meng Yirou was still a bit dissatisfied, but soon, a calm voice reached her ears.

"Fei'er, you're back again."

Meng Yirou was about to ask Bai Fei'er where the senior might have gone when she turned her head and saw a young man standing at the entrance to the back hall, looking at them with a faint smile.

Meng Yirou immediately scrutinized him.

...A mortal.

He looked like a mortal no matter how she viewed him.

There was no trace of true energy, which could mean his cultivation was extremely profound and well-hidden, but Meng Yirou had seen many strong cultivators. True strength, even if not visible, carried an aura of authority, yet this man had none of that...

Or perhaps he had blended too deeply into the mortal world, even losing the aura of a strong cultivator.

But Meng Yirou furrowed her brows, feeling that this might really just be a mortal.

Yet Bai Fei'er stepped forward, sincerely greeting Gu Heng, "Young Master Gu, we apologize for the sudden intrusion."

Young Master Gu?

Meng Yirou's eyes flickered.

Before coming, Bai Fei'er had warned her that the senior disliked being called "senior," and she addressed him as "Young Master." So this must be the "Senior Gu."

A prodigy at the Elemental Infant stage, behaving so courteously in front of this seemingly mortal young man...

Was he truly a Hidden World Master or just a mortal?

But Gu Heng looked at Meng Yirou for a moment and said, "Is this Fei'er's friend?"

Hmm, she looked quite gentle, different from Bai Fei'er's slightly resilient and spirited appearance. She was also a delicate beauty, though she didn't seem like a cultivator. But it was normal for Bai Fei'er to befriend mortals, considering how close she was to her mortal servant Bai Mo. She certainly wouldn't mind having a mortal bestie, right?

"I'm Yirou, and I apologize for the intrusion."

Meng Yirou remained calm, lowering her stance to test whether this person was truly a master or just a mortal.

She deliberately didn't reveal her identity.
