Young Master, Please Save My Teacher!
"Could it be that a few years ago, when I took Zi Yan and destroyed the Hall of Souls, and seized the essence of souls, I delayed the Hun Clan's plan to annihilate the Ling Clan?"
At this moment, Gu Fei was deep in thought.
It seemed that only this reason could explain the current situation with the appearance of the Ling Clan.
"Father, what's wrong?"
"Mother said that frowning doesn't look good…"
Wu Shuang noticed the strange expression on Gu Fei's face and asked in confusion, while reaching out his small, white hand to smooth the lines on Gu Fei's forehead.
Beside Gu Fei, Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian also noticed the change in his expression.
"What is husband thinking about?"
A sense of curiosity arose in both of their hearts.
"Could it be?"
"Is husband frowning because of that girl Ling Xi who was with Xian Yue?"
The next moment, Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian both focused their gazes on the girl Ling Xi.
Feeling the attention from the three of them, Ling Xi couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
"You must be Young Master Gu Fei… I didn't approach Xian Yue on purpose!"
"Xian Yue, little sister, I'll leave now!"
Through Wu Shuang and Xian Yue's address to Gu Fei, Ling Xi guessed his identity.
At this moment, she was overthinking things.
She thought that Gu Fei's current reaction was because he didn't want his daughter to be hanging around with her.
Thus, after seriously explaining to Gu Fei, Ling Xi planned to leave.
"Father, it was my fault for accidentally bumping into Sister Ling Xi. She is really nice!"
"She's my friend!"
"Sister Ling Xi, don't leave just yet!"
Xian Yue grabbed onto Ling Xi's hand and explained to Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian.
"Be good, Xian Yue. I was just thinking about something else just now. It has nothing to do with her. You two can continue playing."
Hearing Xian Yue's words, Gu Fei smiled and then put Wu Shuang down.
With an emotion detection system, there was no one in the world who could understand people's hearts better than Gu Fei.
Based on the emotional prompts just now, Gu Fei naturally knew the disposition of this girl Ling Xi.
She wasn't harboring any ulterior motives.
On the contrary, her thoughts were particularly innocent.
"Then we'll continue playing!"
Hearing this, Xian Yue was very happy, and Ling Xi no longer felt the nervousness from before.
As the little ones gradually walked away.
The smile that had been on Gu Fei's face disappeared, and his brow furrowed once more.
Because he sensed a malicious gaze watching them. Suddenly turning his head, Gu Fei saw three figures in black robes in the crowd, staring in their direction.
There was no doubt, from their attire and the aura they emitted, it was clear they were members of the Hun Clan.
The Hun Clan had always been a significant threat weighing on Gu Fei's mind. If he wanted his family to live a carefree life in the future, he had to deal with this Clan!
When those three black-robed figures were caught by Gu Fei's gaze, their hearts all skipped a beat, and they instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
These three were all elite members of the younger generation in the Hun Clan, with cultivation levels above eight-star Dou Venerate, sent to participate in the trial of the Heavenly Tomb.
However, in Gu Fei's eyes, these three were like mere clowns, not worth mentioning.
After a brief glance, Gu Fei retracted his gaze and led Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian to follow the little ones.
"That man is terrifying!"
"Just one look from him made me feel like I had walked through the gates of hell!"
"Gu Fei truly deserves the title of the number one genius of the Gu Clan. Such a person, perhaps only the young clan leader could be on par with him!"
After Gu Fei left, the three from the Hun Clan all breathed a sigh of relief. In that instant, cold sweat had broken out on their backs.
…
"Brother Xiao Yan, you said you'd leave after taking care of some matters. What exactly are these matters that require you to come to our Gu Clan?"
Xun Er looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of curiosity in her eyes after hearing his words.
She wondered if Xiao Yan had discovered that he was a descendant of the ancient Xiao Clan.
"I came here to…"
Hearing Xun Er's question, Xiao Yan hesitated, unsure of what to say for a moment.
'Could it be that Brother Xiao Yan came here this time to fight for a spot in the Heavenly Tomb?'
Seeing Xiao Yan's hesitant expression, Xun Er speculated in her heart.
This time, many people from the ancient clans had come not just for the ceremony.
It was also related to the opening of the Heavenly Tomb.
The Heavenly Tomb was a special space created by a former Dou God.
This space was a place for the deceased to rest, allowing people to persist after death in another form.
Moreover, the time in this space flowed differently from the outside world, at a rate several times faster.
With such a time difference! Training inside would yield twice the results with half the effort.
The Heavenly Tomb opened once every twenty years, with each of the eight ancient clans having two slots to enter.
However, ever since the complete downfall of the ancient Xiao Clan a thousand years ago, their two slots had always been occupied by the Gu Clan.
Nowadays, the Gu Clan had become accustomed to this, and if Xiao Yan had indeed come for a slot, it would be very difficult for him to succeed.
"Brother Gu Fei is coming over!"
At this moment, there was a small commotion in the crowd, which quickly parted to form a path.
"Brother Gu Fei!"
Upon hearing the noise, Xun Er looked up and saw Gu Fei slowly walking over.
A look of joy appeared on her face.
But soon, she noticed that Gu Fei was frowning.
"Is Brother Gu Fei angry?"
"I shouldn't have come out to find Brother Xiao Yan this time!"
Xun Er realized that she had been talking to Xiao Yan just now, and recalling past events, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, regretting that she shouldn't have come here to talk to Xiao Yan tonight.
In fact, she didn't know that Gu Fei hadn't noticed her at all.
Right now, the reason for Gu Fei's frown was that he was still pondering over the Hun Clan's delayed plans.
"It's him!"
Xiao Yan turned his head and saw the much-admired Gu Fei.
Surrounded by two stunning beauties and attracting constant attention from the crowd, Gu Fei was undoubtedly radiant.
"Teacher said that only this person, who has fused with several Heavenly Flames, can revive him…"
"If I miss this chance, it won't be easy to see him again!"
Xiao Yan hadn't forgotten the true purpose of his visit to the Gu realm. At this moment, all other thoughts were pushed to the back of his mind.
He gathered his courage and slowly walked toward Gu Fei.
"Brother Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"
Seeing Xiao Yan seemingly make up his mind and walk toward Gu Fei, Xun Er thought he was about to do something foolish.
"Do you not understand your own strength? Why do you insist on overestimating yourself?"
The next moment, Xun Er followed behind, trying to dissuade him.
"Young Master Gu Fei, please, save my teacher!"
