Dongfang Yu was surprised to see the reverence in Wen Sihan's eyes. One had to know that an alchemist that was at the Eighth rank was not to be belittled; even within the significant factions, such a genius would be respected.

However, here was such a genius who was looking at Bai Rouyun with admiration, and Dongfang Yu began understanding that maybe he did not know anything about this woman at all.

Sensing that his mind was elsewhere, Bai Rouyun and Wen Sihan led the stunned Dongfang Yu inside the courtyard and waited for him to regain his clarity.

He began thinking about the relationship between himself and Bai Rouyun. In fact, while the group from the Saintly Cloud Sect were said to be the closest to her, she had never displayed her might to any of them.

The only one who believed in her strength actually being at the Innate Realm, Orange Tier was Mo Beichen; all the others were of the impression that she was just bragging.

They had never seen her do anything during the day, apart from sometimes visiting the Gravity Tower. However, none of them had followed her into this tower, as it was a very rudimentary version, and they would not benefit from it at all.

They did not know what exactly she was capable of, or what her secrets were. They had even somewhat forgotten their task of trying to figure out her secrets, as if they had assumed that she had none.

Now that he thought about it, he realized that something had to be wrong with this whole situation. They did not have a weak mentality, and confusing them should be considered extremely hard; even so, they had been walking around in a daze for so long, expecting her to be a little fluffy rabbit, when she was, in fact, an old and cunning fox.

But how had she done it?

There were many questions in Dongfang Yu's mind, and his brows furrowed as he kept looking for clues, however, he found none.

Eventually, he returned to what was happening now, only to find himself inside the courtyard, being stared at by Bai Rouyun and Wen Sihan. Both of them had a gentle smile on their faces, but somehow, he felt as if they were two big beasts, ready to devour him.

A chill ran down his spine as he gulped uneasily.

"Do you want to be healed?" Bai Rouyun asked once more, and Dongfang Yu, who was rather intelligent, instantly understood her purpose.

"I, Dongfang Yu, hereby swear that I will be loyal to Bai Rouyun for the rest of my life. Should I violate my oath, my soul will shatter and suffer from the most excruciating pain, never to merge again."

The heavenly oath was even more severe than the one Wen Sihan had sworn back in the day, and Bai Rouyun could not help but feel some appreciation towards this young man. He was very decisive and understood that this was a big chance to change his life.

"Brother Wen, give him one of the Holy Cleansing Pills," Bai Rouyun said as she tapped her chin with a finger. A splendid smile was evident on her lips, and her eyes had narrowed into crescent moons.

This young man was from the Cultivation World, and he had many uses for Bai Rouyun. Although he had sworn to follow her, she would never treat him badly, as she viewed him more of a companion than a servant.

She had never planned on making her own force. Li Moyun already had the Eternal Shadow Palace, and she felt that providing this faction with benefits was much better than building her own from scratch.

She had complete faith in Li Moyun. While she had no intention of relying on him to strengthen herself, she also saw no reason to try and compete with him on everything. They were a couple, so naturally, they should support each other.

Wen Sihan heard the words that Bai Rouyun said, and he hurried to the pill cabinet, from where he took out a few vials. He not only picked up the Holy Cleansing Pill, but also several other pills, which he brought to the table in front of Dongfang Yu.

Glancing at the various pill bottles, Bai Rouyun instantly recognized the pills he had fetched, and with a nod of her head, she quickly approved of his decision.

Since Dongfang Yu was now her person, naturally, he should be given the best.

She reached out her hands and took a jade vial, which she tossed to the slightly stunned young man. Even though he was somewhat stunned, he still caught the vial with no problem, but he still stared blankly at it.

"You look normal whenever someone looks at you, but your skin is somewhat red. Your every action is cautious and careful, and you avoid being touched as much as possible. While there are no apparent signs of poisoning in you, you tremble in pain whenever you are being touched by something, or when you make a sudden movement. Clearly, your nerves are overly stimulated, and the pain you are experiencing is not of an ordinary kind.

"There are many poisons which can cause this result, but considering your status as a previous disciple of the Saintly Cloud Sect, and your position as the second young master of the Dongfang Family, you should be able to cure all of these poisons, except for the Thousand Ant Poison."

Bai Rouyun gave Dongfang Yu an explanation of why she had assumed he was poisoned, and he instantly understood that she had likely noticed it long ago, but waited to see which decision he would make.

Had he left with the other youngsters, then she would have pitied him, but done nothing to stop him. Now that he had made the decision, she had also taken a gamble to bring him to her side as a friend.
