"What? Don't tell me I'm not worthy of the other pill recipe? "
The grey-robed elder looked at Gu Xianglin indifferently, his tone clearly darkening. "It looks like your Gu family's loyalty is only so-so!"
"Sir, I can swear to you that the heavens and earth can bear witness to my loyalty. I'm absolutely loyal to you." Second Master Gu hurriedly gave Gu Xianglin a look. "Hurry up and give the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill recipe to Sir."
"But …" Gu Xianglin's heart trembled. "I promised foster father to find a pill recipe for him. If I give both recipes away, how am I supposed to answer to foster father?"
Based on his foster father's temper, he would definitely fly into a rage. At that time, if this Sir wasn't willing to guide him, then his last hope would be destroyed.
"Hmph!" The grey-robed elder snorted coldly, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped. "Gu Ming, you said that your son obtained that pill recipe through all means possible to show his filial piety to me, but I don't think that's the case. What else do you have to say for yourself? "
Gu Ming was Second Master Gu's name. At this moment, when he heard the grey-robed elder's words, his heart jumped in fright. He was afraid that the old man in front of him would turn him into a puff of smoke at the slightest displeasure.
"Sir, you have to believe me. I'll only be loyal to you in this lifetime. No one else is worthy!"
As if afraid that the grey-robed elder wouldn't believe his words, Second Master Gu strode over to Gu Xianglin. His gaze suddenly sharpened as he said threateningly, "Son, I'm your father, so you should listen to everything I say. Even if you've been adopted by the Cool Breeze Faction's leader, you're still my son! I'm ordering you to hand over the pill recipe right now! This Sir is very powerful. Even a few hundred Cool Breeze Factions can't compare to him. As long as you're obedient, you'll definitely be rewarded handsomely. "
In that instant, Gu Xianglin's gaze darkened, and he clenched his fists tightly.
To be honest, he really did want to win this expert's favor. However, he had always been conservative, and wouldn't push himself to the point where he had no way out. If he really handed over the pill recipe, then he would definitely fall out with his foster father.
Gu Xianglin regretted it.
He regretted hurriedly telling this good news to his foster father.
If his foster father didn't know that he had obtained the pill formula, perhaps he wouldn't be in such a predicament now.
However, he also understood that in the eyes of an expert, a person like him was like an ant that could be killed at will. If he really didn't hand over the pill formula, he might not even be able to walk out of the secret chamber …
Thinking of this, Gu Xianglin took a deep breath and slowly reached into his clothes. Under the gaze of the grey-robed elder, he took out the ancient pill recipe.
His eyes were filled with struggle and reluctance, but in the end, he still handed the pill formula to the grey-robed elder.
The moment he took the pill formula, he felt as if his entire body was about to collapse. His body leaned weakly against the wall behind him and he slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking at the pill formula that had left his hands …
"Not bad." The grey-robed elder put the pill formula into his lapel and nodded in satisfaction. "Seeing that you handed over the pill formula in the end, I'll forgive you for hiding it from me! Since your merits and demerits offset each other, I will not punish you. "
The merits offset the demerits?
What did that mean?
Gu Xianglin's eyes widened as he stared at the gray-robed old man in shock.
"You said that the merits offset the demerits? What did I do wrong? In the end, the merits offset the demerits? What about the benefits? What about the benefits after I hand over the pill formula to you? "
