Bab 60: Sorry, Not Interested!
"Mm!"
Yun Yun hesitated for a moment, then lightly nodded her snow-white chin.
"That's great! This way, my grandfather can be saved!"
"Teacher, who is the person with the heavenly flame?"
Upon getting confirmation from Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran stood up excitedly and asked.
"The main guest of today's banquet!"
Yun Yun's eyes flickered as she whispered.
"The main guest of the banquet?"
Nalan Yanran followed Yun Yun's gaze and happened to see Gu Fei in the hall.
The young man wore a luxurious robe, his face adorned with a warm smile. He stood tall and handsome, exuding grace and charm.
Earlier at the banquet, Nalan Yanran had briefly locked eyes with him before quickly looking away.
Now, following Yun Yun's words, she looked at Gu Fei again. At the same time, she vaguely noticed something unusual in her teacher's gaze toward Gu Fei.
"Teacher, do you know him?"
Nalan Yanran asked curiously.
"I once met him in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. The pill I brought back for you before was made by him!" Yun Yun's expression shifted slightly, and she slowly replied.
"So that pill was refined by him? I always thought it was made by Elder Gu He at your request, Teacher!"
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran was even more surprised.

Her understanding of Gu Fei was based solely on rumors among the upper echelons of the capital.
She knew that Gu Fei had a powerful Rank 6 Magic Beast, and his background was extraordinary, likely from a significant force out for training.
Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Gu Fei could already refine a Tier 4 pinnacle pill.
Such talent was unparalleled in the Jia Ma Empire.
"With his high talent in alchemy and possessing a heavenly flame, it seems that Grandpa can indeed be saved!"
Thinking that Gu Fei could save her grandfather, Nalan Yanran was instantly overjoyed, her eyes shining as she looked at Gu Fei.
Every day that her grandfather suffered from the Searing poison, his body weakened further. She could not afford to delay any longer.
Today, no matter what, she had to ask for Gu Fei's help.
Nalan Yanran then walked directly into the banquet hall, heading toward Gu Fei.
Yun Yun remained seated, resting her chin on her hand, her eyes complicated as she watched the young woman hurriedly lift her skirt and rush away.
How much she wished she could do the same and meet Gu Fei directly.

"Young Master Gu Fei, hello!"
Nalan Yanran entered the banquet hall, approached Gu Fei, and gracefully brushed back her hair, greeting him proactively.
Her exquisite face bore a soft smile, and the wide-sleeved, moon-white robe that only disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect could wear occasionally revealed the graceful curves beneath.
In terms of figure, she was in no way inferior to Ya Fei, though their temperaments were entirely different.
Although Nalan Yanran initiated the conversation, there was still an underlying pride in her expression.
Gu Fei glanced at her lightly and nodded.
There were too many people at the banquet greeting him, so his response was very casual.
"Young Master Gu Fei, my name is Nalan Yanran!"
After greeting him, Nalan Yanran didn't leave. Her face flushed slightly as she continued to introduce herself.
"Do you need something?"
Hearing this, Gu Fei turned his head and asked casually, his tone indifferent.
Gu Fei's reaction gave Nalan Yanran a bit of a headache.

With the reputation of being the Misty Cloud Sect's Young Sect Leader and a genius of the Nalan family, she had always been successful in everything she did.
If she needed help, she just had to make the first move, and others would eagerly offer their assistance.
In all these years, Gu Fei was the first to treat her so coldly.
"I want to ask for your help!"
Normally, Nalan Yanran would have left impatiently by now, but Gu Fei was the only person she knew who might be able to save Nalan Jie, so she couldn't give up.
She smiled and spoke, maintaining her composure despite Gu Fei's indifferent reaction.
She had never had to work so hard to get someone to help her before, especially not someone her own age in the Jia Ma Empire.
"Miss Nalan, perhaps it would be better to discuss these matters after the banquet. We wouldn't want to disrupt Young Master Gu Fei's mood!"
At that moment, a soft, alluring voice interrupted. It was Ya Fei, who had come over with a wine glass in hand.
Her seductive eyes fell on Gu Fei as she smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she clinked her glass with his before gracefully drinking.
She tilted her head back, revealing an enticing neckline. Gu Fei joined in the toast with a smile, drinking the wine in his glass.
On the other side, the empire's crown princess, Yao Ye, also approached Gu Fei with a wine glass in hand.
"Young Master, Yao Ye toasts you."
Yao Ye's elegant and dignified face exuded a noble aura, her red lips curved in a smile.
In terms of looks, she was in no way inferior to Ya Fei.
Seeing so many people surrounding Gu Fei, Nalan Yanran hesitated for a moment.
She also realized that she wasn't familiar with Gu Fei, and now didn't seem to be the right time to ask for help. So, she decided to mingle and get to know him better first.
These well-known women of the capital were usually aloof, but tonight, they were all actively approaching Gu Fei.
Even the crown princess, Yao Ye, and Nalan Yanran were no exception.
Not far from Gu Fei, Xiao Yi Xian watched the behavior of these women and immediately regretted coming to this banquet.
She frowned slightly, feeling frustrated as she watched the beauties surrounding Gu Fei while she looked out at the night sky.

Outside the banquet hall, Yun Yun quietly observed the scene but resisted the urge to approach.
She knew that, being older than Gu Fei, if she acted like the younger women, it would only invite ridicule.
Soon, Nalan Yanran, having drunk a bit too much, felt her face flush slightly.
At this moment, she was standing next to Gu Fei, her eyes somewhat dreamy as she looked at him.
Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Gu Fei's hand. "Young Master Gu Fei, I heard from my teacher that you possess a heavenly flame. Could you please save my grandfather? He's been suffering from the venom for a long time, and if he doesn't receive treatment soon, he won't last much longer!"
Speaking of her grandfather, Nalan Yanran's face showed sadness, and she gripped Gu Fei's wrist a little tighter.
But soon, she realized her actions were inappropriate, blushed, and quickly let go of Gu Fei's hand.
"Life and death are natural. I'm not related to your grandfather, so why should I save him?"
Gu Fei knew Nalan Yanran's identity and was aware of what kind of person Nalan Jie was. He didn't want to get involved, so he shook his head and refused.

"Young Master Gu Fei, as long as you're willing to help, I'm willing to offer any reward!"
Nalan Yanran panicked, her eyes flickering as she quickly made an offer.
But while this might have been enticing to others, Gu Fei had no interest in accepting it.
"Sorry, I'm not interested!"
He looked at Nalan Yanran for a moment and shook his head again, refusing her.
