Bab 9: Xun'er's Questioning!
Xun'er felt a bit uncomfortable as she watched the seventh-grade elixir emerge from Gu Fei's hands. She decided to put aside what happened yesterday for now.
After all, the desire to become strong exists in the hearts of every member of the Gu clan. Although she didn't like Gu Fei, there should be no issue in blessing him for refining the seventh-grade elixir.
She convinced herself to go see Gu Fei and put aside the unpleasant discussions she had just heard. Xun'er intended to congratulate Gu Fei and explain what happened before, hoping to mend their relationship. After all, she would be proud to have a genius like Gu Fei as her husband.
At that moment, Xun'er couldn't remember why Gu Fei proposed a divorce. She thought he was making a big deal out of nothing. It was just a minor issue; was divorce really necessary?
Xun'er believed that as long as she made an effort, Gu Fei would forgive her. After all, he had once loved her deeply and his first request to Gu Yuan was to marry her.
However, as she approached the foot of the mountain, Xun'er was stopped by a servant.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xun'er, but the master has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him."
The servant spoke politely, but the tone was distant. Xun'er was taken aback. The servants had never addressed her so formally before, and they had always allowed her to enter and exit the mountain freely.
Xun'er wanted to argue but was silenced by the servant. "The master has begun refining the next pill and cannot be disturbed."
Even Xun'er, with all her talent, was shocked. To refine the next pill immediately? It was likely another high-level elixir!
Xun'er sighed inwardly. Was Gu Fei a monster? An ordinary seventh-grade alchemist would be exhausted after refining a seventh-grade pill and would need days to recover. Refining such a pill requires immense energy and mental effort. Some even damage their essence in the process.
Gu Fei had just refined a seventh-grade pill and was already starting the next one? It was astonishing.
Realizing she couldn't see Gu Fei, Xun'er left angrily. All of this was observed by one person.
"Everything depends on God's will..." The man sighed, revealing a calm expression that belied his deep thoughts. Gu Lie, the top man of the ancient clan, looked down from his elevated vantage point.
Gu Lie had been following the situation closely. Though initially dissatisfied with Gu Yuan's request to persuade Gu Fei, he ultimately agreed. Despite his reluctance, he understood that Gu Fei was not easily swayed.
Gu Lie knew his grandson well. Gu Fei had his own ideas and would not be easily influenced, even by his grandfather. Gu Lie did not want his talented grandson to suffer injustice over a woman.
The day continued with people gathering at the foot of Gu Fei's mountain, admiring the spectacle. The second seventh-grade elixir was being refined, with dark clouds and thunder gathering above.
The atmosphere was tense as the pill thunder struck down, causing many to worry about Gu Fei's well-being.
"Is there any need to worry? Brother Gu Fei is capable of handling this," said one observer, while another commented, "If you don't have time to worry, focus on improving your own skills."
Friendly laughter followed, and some even planned to seek Gu Fei's advice in the future.
At that moment, Xun'er arrived, visibly angry. She stood at the foot of the mountain, her eyes filled with rage.
[Xun'er becomes angry, emotional value increases by 200]
Gu Fei frowned and looked down the mountain, spotting Xun'er. Her energy was palpable, and her voice carried clearly to him.
"Gu Fei, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You actually sent someone to kill Brother Xiao Yan!"
There was an uproar. Some people who knew the truth did not believe Xun'er, while others were skeptical. Xiao Yan was the son of the Xiao family head in Wutan City and Xun'er's former lover. Did Gu Fei's feelings turn to hatred, leading him to harm Xiao Yan?
The suggestion was quickly met with opposition.
"How could that be? That's Brother Gu Fei!"
"Yes, would he harm someone because of Xun'er?"
"It's clear he no longer cares for Xun'er and isn't the type to kill indiscriminately!"
Those who knew Gu Fei well dismissed Xun'er's claims, and those who didn't were even less likely to believe them.
