Upon hearing the words, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but recall the vigorously developed Baiyun Mountain in recent years, and he said with so emotion, "Baiyun Mountain used to be even more beautiful in my eyes, but few had the chance to appreciate it."
"Haha! That's true! Mount Santai didn't have so many visitors in the past either," Yang Yinhou was slightly startled before he chuckled.
"Since elder brother is going back to Baiyun Mountain this morning, I'll have Xu Lei arrange a car to take you back. I won't be returning to Baiyun Mountain for the ti being," Ge Dongxu said.
"No need for that. Last night, Su Bojian wanted to invite to stay at Santai Temple for a few days. I told him I was leaving this morning, so he has already arranged for the car. It's waiting outside now. I was just waiting to co down to tell you before I leave," Yang Yinhou responded.
There was no need for formalities with his elder brother, so Ge Dongxu nodded and said, "Alright. I'll co to Baiyun Mountain to find you when I go ho in a while. I'm going out now, as Teacher Wu is waiting at the hotel entrance. She was worried about disturbing , so she didn't dare to co in."
"How do you know that?" Yang Yinhou asked in surprise.
"I saw her when I extended my Divine Sense outward," Ge Dongxu replied matter-of-factly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Yinhou's mouth hung open in shock, and it took him a while before he finally said, "Forget it, I won't ask you such questions anymore. Elder brother prides himself on having so talent for cultivation. I made a na for myself in Shanghai at a young age, but compared to you, I fall far behind."
"Elder brother, don't speak like that. I just had good fortune, that's all," Ge Dongxu reassured him.
"Fortune is one thing, but you truly are a cultivation genius. It's the combination of the two that has allowed you to reach such an astonishing realm that even I can only look up to," Yang Yinhou remarked.
At these words, Ge Dongxu smiled and scratched his head, embarrassed.
Seeing such a near-immortal figure as Ge Dongxu showing the shyness of a big boy, Yang Yinhou couldn't help but laugh, feeling an increased sense of affection in his heart.
"Since Teacher Wu is outside waiting, let's not keep her waiting any longer. Let's go out," Yang Yinhou said with a smile.
"Yes," Ge Dongxu nodded, and then he and Yang Yinhou left the villa together.
Outside the villa, a black rcedes and its driver were waiting, along with Su Bojian.
As Su Bojian saw Yang Yinhou and Ge Dongxu co out together, he hastily greeted them, his eyes revealing a trace of reverence deep within as he looked at Ge Dongxu.
Last night, after Su Bojian returned, his mind was filled with the scene of Ge Dongxu effortlessly defeating Su Boli and his two companions with just a single tea leaf. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he beca.
If he spoke of his own strength, though impressive, it still fell within the realm of mortals. If a few more people or even several special forces soldiers and snipers were to lie in ambush to shoot him without his awareness, he surely wouldn't be able to evade.
But Ge Dongxu's strength gave him the impression it was beyond the scope of mortals, akin to that of an immortal. Such a person would not likely be taken down rely by numbers or even special forces soldiers and snipers. Indeed, it might be that even a small country's military forces would not guarantee his elimination.
"Master Yang, Director Ge, good morning," Su Bojian said, bowing respectfully to the two n.
Although the rcedes driver was ntally prepared, seeing even the Supre Elder of the Santai Sect bow with such respect still made his heart lurch with fear.
"Hmm." Yang Yinhou nodded to acknowledge, his age and seniority obviating the need for false humility.
"Good morning to you, Su Daoist friend," Ge Dongxu, being younger, courteously returned the greeting with a bow.
The three made small talk at the gate of the yard for a while before Su Bojian insisted on personally escorting Yang Yinhou back, taking the opportunity to familiarize himself with the route. Yang Yinhou, unable to out-argue him, had no choice but to go along.
The rcedes-Benz slowly left the villa and quickly vanished from sight.
Ge Dongxu took out his phone and called Xu Lei and Lv Chongliang to inform them that he had sothing to do today and would not be attending the exchange eting.
After making the calls, Ge Dongxu leisurely walked toward the hotel's main entrance alone.
As he approached the entrance, he saw from a distance Wu Yili lingering outside with a mobile phone in her hand.
In Santai City, situated in a subtropical region, November in the solar calendar was still a ti of crisp autumn air.
Especially in recent days, the weather seed a bit abnormal; aside from cooler evenings, the dayti temperatures usually rose above twenty degrees.
Wu Yili wore a white base shirt and an ethnic print chiffon sun protection over her clothes, white capri pants, black dium heel shoes, and a khaki shoulder bag, standing under a ginkgo tree with already yellowing leaves opposite the hotel entrance, exuding an indescribable air of elegance and leisure.
The white capri pants highlighted her long, rounded legs and pert buttocks just so, giving the elegant and leisurely Wu Yili a hint of alluring mature charm.
Seeing Wu Yili holding her phone, occasionally biting her red lips with an indecisive expression, Ge Dongxu was moved and found her especially captivating at this mont. Suddenly on impulse, perhaps guided by so sentint, Ge Dongxu lightly tapped his toes, took to the wind, and silently landed under the ginkgo tree behind Wu Yili. Then, leaning against the tree trunk, he asked, "Teacher Wu, are you waiting for soone?"
Wu Yili, lost in thought, was startled by Ge Dongxu's voice suddenly coming from behind her, causing her hand to tremble and the phone to drop to the ground.
Ge Dongxu, only intending to tease Wu Yili, was taken aback when he accidentally scared her into dropping her phone. He hastily stepped forward to bend down and help her pick it up.
As Wu Yili stared blankly at Ge Dongxu, who had suddenly appeared and was bending over to pick up her phone, it took her a mont to express with surprise, "You're okay now?"
"What could possibly happen to ?" Ge Dongxu felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this and then smiled as he handed her the phone.
But Wu Yili did not take the phone, instead fixed her gaze on the left side of Ge Dongxu's head.
"Your white hair is still there!" After a while, Wu Yili suddenly reached out and gently touched the hair on the left side of Ge Dongxu's head, saying with a pained look, "It's just a few strands of white hair, they'll return to black in a few days," Ge Dongxu wanted to rest his hand on Wu Yili's, but considering their respective positions, he restrained the impulse and feigned nonchalance with a smile.
"Although I don't understand cultivation or dicine, I am, after all, an environntal expert. Once the environnt's tolerance is exceeded and it's damaged, restoring it is not so easy. I think the sa principles apply to all things. You don't have to comfort , I understand in my heart. Thank you for saving before, and now for saving the most important person in my life!" Wu Yili, watching Ge Dongxu pretend nonchalance, couldn't help but well up with tears, and finally, her hand slid from his hair down to his cheek, tenderly caressing it.
