Chapter 108: So You Were Dumped, Right?
Nearby, Zi Yan, who was often outspoken, noticed that Xiao Yi Xian was upset by Xun'er's words and shouted, "Who are you? So what if it's something private? Sister Xiao Yi Xian and Brother Gu Fei are bound to be together sooner or later. What's so private that it can't be seen?"
"Hearing you call him Brother Gu Fei so affectionately, you must be one of his admirers, right? Well, let me tell you clearly, Brother Gu Fei already has someone special in his heart, so you should just leave."
"Oh, and take your stupid secret with you. Brother Gu Fei won't be interested in seeing it anyway..."
Zi Yan didn't care that they were on someone else's turf. Even if the person in front of her was from the Gu Clan, she wouldn't hesitate to talk back if she didn't like them.
Qing Lin looked at Zi Yan with admiration. They were about the same age, but Zi Yan was far more articulate.
Xiao Yi Xian, who had been feeling anxious due to Xun'er's words, couldn't help but smile slightly at Zi Yan's remarks. This little girl not only lifted the mood but also brought positive energy to those around her.
However, in Xun'er's eyes, Xiao Yi Xian's relief was just laughable. With a cold smile, she casually dropped a bombshell.
"So what if they're together? Gu Fei and I are married!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's smile quickly faded, and her previously relaxed mood plummeted again.
"Some people think they're something special because they've received some attention, but little do they know, Gu Fei has given me countless valuable things before them. Any one of those would leave you all speechless."
Xun'er looked at Xiao Yi Xian with her head held high. Her goal was to embarrass Gu Fei's woman!
Zi Yan and Qing Lin were equally shocked, but Zi Yan quickly sensed something was off.
"If you're Brother Gu Fei's wife, why has he never mentioned you before?" Zi Yan asked.
"I married Brother Gu Fei, and everyone in the Gu Clan knows about it. You can go ask around."
Seeing Xun'er's confident demeanor, even Zi Yan began to lose her certainty and stopped arguing, instead looking towards Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian's face turned pale, her lips trembling as she mumbled, "They're married, so what am I? A third party?"
"When it comes to knowing him, I know far more than you do!"
"Gu Fei and I have been childhood sweethearts, and after our marriage, we lived together for a long time. I know his preferences and temper like the back of my hand. Saying that we're connected heart-to-heart wouldn't be an exaggeration."
Xun'er continued, her words full of satisfaction as she watched Xiao Yi Xian's pained expression. It gave her immense pleasure.
"I just remembered, I overheard some people on the way here talking about how Brother Gu Fei had an ex-wife. At first, I didn't believe it, but now it seems true!" Qing Lin suddenly said.
"Ex-wife? So she was dumped by Brother Gu Fei!" Zi Yan responded instinctively.
"Nonsense!"
"He didn't dump me. We separated amicably!"
Xun'er quickly retorted, feeling cornered as Qing Lin brought up her past.
Zi Yan, however, seemed to have found a weapon of immense power and burst into laughter, pointing at Xun'er, "No wonder Brother Gu Fei never mentioned you. It turns out he dumped you a long time ago. And you still dare to come here and make a scene?"
"I'll say it again: it was an amicable separation!"
Xun'er's eyebrows furrowed as she gritted her teeth at Zi Yan. This little girl looked harmless, but her words were venomous.
"What's the difference? The point is that Brother Gu Fei doesn't want you anymore!"
Zi Yan shrugged, her expression full of contempt.
"You little brat, if you keep talking, I won't let you off easily!" Xun'er was thoroughly infuriated.
"Hmph, are you looking for a fight? Who's afraid of who?"
Zi Yan wasn't scared at all. She clenched her small fists, ready for action.
Xun'er couldn't bear it any longer. She had just advanced to Dou Emperor and was eager to test her strength. She gathered her Dou Qi and threw a punch at Zi Yan.
But to her shock, Xun'er found that Zi Yan's strength was formidable. Her punch was blocked, and her arm felt sore.
Both of them were low-rank Dou Emperor, and Yao Tian Huo knew Zi Yan could handle Xun'er, so he didn't interfere. Besides, they were on Gu Clan territory, so he couldn't act recklessly.
Zi Yan fighting was just right.
"How does she have such strength?"
Xun'er was surprised, feeling the ache in her arm. She had been looking to teach Zi Yan a lesson, but now realized that Zi Yan was just as strong as her. Xun'er's expression darkened.
Moreover, Zi Yan appeared to be just a little girl, so Xun'er felt it inappropriate to go all out against her.
After all, they were Gu Fei's guests. While Xun'er didn't have to respect Gu Fei, she couldn't forget the Gu Clan's hospitality rules.
"Hmph, let me give you some advice: becoming Gu Fei's wife isn't going to be easy!"
"To maintain the strength of our bloodline, the elders in the clan will never allow him to marry someone ordinary like you..."
Knowing she wouldn't gain anything by continuing, Xun'er threw out those parting words and turned to leave.
After Xun'er left, Xiao Yi Xian's expression was complicated. She hadn't even met Gu Fei's elders yet and had already faced his ex-wife.
This ex-wife's attitude was aggressive, and if not for Zi Yan and Qing Lin, she would have been even more humiliated today.
"Sister Xiao Yi Xian, don't think too much about it. Let's wait for Brother Gu Fei to return before we talk!" Qing Lin comforted her.
"Exactly! I don't get why an ex-wife would have anything to boast about. If it were me, I'd bury myself in the ground out of shame after being dumped by a man," Zi Yan's loud voice echoed after Qing Lin's.
She spoke so loudly that even those far away could hear...
...
"Venerable Tian Huo is guarding them, so they should be fine."
Gu Fei was moving quickly through the Gu Realm, not worried about Xiao Yi Xian and the others, but rather about how he would face the elders of the clan.
He knew the clan rules better than anyone. If he wanted to be with Xiao Yi Xian, he first had to pass their test.
After passing through several mountain peaks, a grand hall appeared before Gu Fei.
He entered the hall, where his grandfather, Gu Lie, was seated at the head.
It wasn't just Gu Lie present; many of the clan's elders were also seated, their serious expressions signaling to Gu Fei that today wouldn't be easy.
"Grandson pays respects to grandfather and all the elders."
Gu Fei greeted everyone according to the proper etiquette.
The elders also expressed concern for him, showing a lot of care.
After some pleasantries, the hall quieted down with a cough from Gu Lie.
"Child, have you truly decided to marry the girl you brought back?" Gu Lie asked, getting to the point.
"Yes!"
Gu Fei didn't hesitate.
"My heart is connected to Xiao Yi Xian's. I'm certain she is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with."
Gu Fei looked at Gu Lie, his eyes unwavering. This determined look made Gu Lie's brows furrow slightly.
Knowing his most beloved grandson's personality inside and out, Gu Lie understood that Gu Fei was truly resolved.
"Child, there's no need to be so hasty. Your future is full of endless possibilities, and your life will be long. Why rush to make such a decision now?" An elder from the Gu Clan tried to persuade him.
Gu Fei shook his head firmly, his attitude unyielding, "Since I won't change my mind, it's better to decide early."
"According to our clan's rules, your wife must have a strong bloodline. Only then will your offspring inherit a powerful lineage," Gu Lie said with a frown.
