It was not until winter was about to enter that Cheng Xuandan finally came out of the house. He called Gu An from a distance, and Gu An immediately ran over.

"Master." Gu An saluted respectfully.

Cheng Xuandan has white hair, his beard and eyebrows have turned white, and there are even some brown spots on his face. He looks extremely old.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the outer door." Cheng Xuandan stroked his beard and smiled, smiling kindly.

Gu An couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing at the outer gate?"

"Don't you want to be the Valley Master in the future?" Cheng Xuandan asked.

When Gu An heard this, his heart beat faster, but his expression changed drastically, and he asked in panic: "Master, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Seeing how panicked he was, Cheng Xuandan's eyes became softer.

"Let's go, we'll talk about it on the way." After Cheng Xuandan said that, he turned and walked out of the valley.

Gu An quickly confessed to Xiaochuan who was nearest him, and then followed Cheng Xuandan's pace.

After walking out of the valley, Cheng Xuandan walked towards the woods. Now that he could no longer fly with his sword, this meant that they had to go to the outer gate.

Gu An suddenly wanted to turn around and tell Xiao Chuan and the others not to pick those herbs that were about to mature, and wait until he came back to pick them.

The master and apprentice were walking in the woods. Gu An wanted to help Cheng Xuandan, but he declined.

"The salary given to the Valley Master by the sect is limited. You must consider carefully when recruiting handyman disciples in the future, and you must turn in a certain amount of harvest every year..." Cheng Xuandan walked in front and said casually.

Gu An seemed to be listening carefully, but he was also alert in his heart.

After all, Meng Lang's life or death has not yet been determined.

Cheng Xuandan's pace was not very fast, and there were many mountains nearby. It took half an hour for the two of them to cover several miles.

Gu An's mentality was a bit overwhelming. How long would it take to reach the outer door?

He even wanted to leave Cheng Xuandan behind!

The two of them crossed a small stream. Cheng Xuandan in front suddenly asked, "Why didn't you ask about Meng Lang's whereabouts?"

Gu An pretended to be confused and asked: "Didn't he take the external examination? Didn't he pass?"

"My master lied to him, and he has been refined into medicinal Gu by my master."

Cheng Xuandan answered and walked forward, as if he was not afraid of Gu An attacking from behind.

When Gu An heard this, his expression remained unchanged. He carefully sensed his surroundings to make sure there was no one else around.
