Chapter 108: Zi Yan: You're an ex-wife, doesn't that mean you were dumped?

To the side, the somewhat brash Zi Yan saw that Xiao Yixian had been made very unhappy by a few words from Xun Er, and shouted, "Who are you? So what if it's something private? Sister Xiao Yixian and Brother Gu Fei will be a couple sooner or later; what kind of private thing is there that can't be seen..."

"Listening to you call him 'Brother Gu Fei' every other word, I presume you are also an admirer of Brother Gu Fei, right? Then let me tell you clearly: Brother Gu Fei already has someone in his heart. You should leave."

"Oh, right, take your stinky secret with you too; Brother Gu Fei wouldn't care to see it..."

Zi Yan did not care that this was someone else's territory; even with members of the Ancient Clan in front of her, as long as it was something she didn't like, she would retort without hesitation.

Qing Lin cast a look of admiration at Zi Yan; Zi Yan was about the same age as her, yet her mouth was much sharper than her own.

Xiao Yixian, who had originally been flustered by Xun'er's words, also smiled slightly because of Zi Yan's words. This girl could not only lighten the mood but also bring positive energy to those around her.

Xiao Yixian's excitement, however, looked like a joke in Xun'er's eyes. She gave another cold smile and spoke a sentence lightly.

"So what if you are together? Gu Fei and I are husband and wife who have bowed to heaven and earth!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian's smile faded once again, and her mood, which had just eased a little, sank to the bottom again.

"Some people think they are something special just because they have received some favor, not knowing that before you, Brother Gu Fei gave me countless good things; any one of them, if brought out, would make your jaws drop."

Xun'er held her head high and puffed out her chest as she looked at Xiao Yixian; she wanted to make Gu Fei's woman feel embarrassed! Zi Yan and Qing Lin were also surprised, but Zi Yan immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Since you are Brother Gu Fei's wife, why have we never heard Brother Gu Fei mention you?" Zi Yan asked.

"Brother Gu Fei and I were married in a formal ceremony; everyone in the Ancient Realm knows it. You are welcome to go and ask."

Seeing that Xun'er's confident appearance didn't look like she was lying, even Zi Yan lost her confidence. She stopped arguing and looked at Xiao Yixian beside her.

Xiao Yixian's face was pale, her lips trembling uncontrollably as she whispered, "They are husband and wife, so what am I? A mistress?"

"When it comes to understanding him, I know much more than you do!"

"Brother Gu Fei and I were childhood sweethearts, and after we married, we lived together for a long time. I know his hobbies and temperament like the back of my hand; it is no exaggeration to say that our hearts are linked."

Xun'er continued.

Watching Xiao Yixian's pained expression at this moment, Xun'er seemed very proud, her heart feeling greatly satisfied.

"I remember now, I heard others discussing on the road just now that Brother Gu Fei had an ex-wife. At first, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Qing Lin suddenly spoke up.

"An ex-wife? Then that means she was dumped by Brother Gu Fei!"

Zi Yan responded subconsciously.

"Nonsense!"

"How could he dare to dump me? We clearly separated by mutual agreement!"

Once Xun'er heard this history being dug up by Qing Lin, she hurriedly retorted and argued.

Zi Yan, however, acted as if she had grabbed a divine weapon, laughing out loud as she pointed at Xun'er: "No wonder Brother Gu Fei never mentioned you; it turns out you were already dumped by Brother Gu Fei. You've already been dumped, yet you still dare to come here and act wild?"

"I'll say it again, it was a mutual separation!"

Xun'er frowned, gnashing her teeth in hatred toward Zi Yan. This little girl looked harmless, but her mouth was truly poisonous.

"What's the difference? Anyway, it just means Brother Gu Fei doesn't want you anymore!"

Zi Yan spread her hands with a look of disdain.

"You little girl, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't go easy on you!" Xun'er was completely enraged.

"Hmph, want to fight? Who's afraid of whom?"

Zi Yan wasn't afraid either, clenching her small fists, looking eager to try.

Xun'er could no longer endure it. She had just advanced to Dou Huang and wanted to test her skills. As her Dou Qi condensed, she punched toward Zi Yan.

But as the punch landed, Xun'er was shocked by Zi Yan's immense strength. Her punch was blocked by Zi Yan, and her arm ached.

Both of them were Low-Level Dou Huang. Venerable Tianhuo knew that Zi Yan could handle Xun'er, so he didn't intervene. Besides, this was the Ancient Clan's territory, and he could not easily make a move.

It was fitting for Zi Yan to do it. "How is her strength so great?"

Feeling her aching arm, Xun'er was very surprised.

Having been retorted, and wanting to teach Zi Yan a lesson only to find that Zi Yan's strength was not inferior to her own, Xun'er's expression was ugly.

Moreover, Zi Yan looked like a little girl, and Xun'er didn't want to be too petty with her.

After all, they were guests brought by Gu Fei; she could choose not to give Gu Fei face, but she could not lose the Ancient Clan's hospitality.

"Hmph, a word of advice: wanting to be Gu Fei's wife is not that easy!"

"In order to maintain the strength of the bloodline, the elders in the clan would never let him marry an ordinary person like you..."

Xun'er knew that if she kept entangled, she wouldn't gain any advantage, so she left these two sentences and turned to leave.

After Xun'er left, Xiao Yixian's expression was complex. She hadn't expected that before even seeing Gu Fei's elders, she would first meet his ex-wife.

This ex-wife's attitude toward her could be described as aggressive; if not for Zi Yan and Qing Lin being there, she would surely have been even more miserable today.

"Sister Xiao Yixian, don't think too much for now; let's wait until Brother Gu Fei comes back!"

Qing Lin comforted her.

"Exactly, exactly. I don't know what there is to show off about being an ex-wife. If I were dumped by a man, I'd rather just be buried in the dirt."

Zi Yan's words followed Qing Lin's immediately. She said it very loudly, so that even those far away could hear...

"With Venerable Tianhuo protecting them, they should be fine."

Gu Fei traveled rapidly through the Ancient Realm. His heart was not worried for Xiao Yixian and the others, but rather worried about how he would face the elders of the clan.

He knew the Ancient Clan's family rules and clan precepts best; if he wanted to be with Xiao Yixian, he had to pass their test first.

After passing through several mountain peaks, a magnificent hall appeared before Gu Fei.

Gu Fei entered the hall, and his grandfather, Gu Lie, was sitting in the main seat at this moment.

It was not just Gu Lie present; many elders of the clan were sitting upright. Their serious attitude let Gu Fei know that today would not be simple.

"Grandson pays respects to Grandfather, and pays respects to all the elders."

Gu Fei bowed to everyone present according to etiquette.

The elders also asked after Gu Fei's well-being, showing great concern.

After a moment of small talk, following a cough from Gu Lie, the great hall quieted down.

"Child, have you really thought it through, to marry the girl you brought back?"

Gu Lie opened the topic of the day.

"Yes!"

Gu Fei did not hesitate at all.

"My heart and Xiao Yixian's are connected; I have already determined that she is the person who can accompany me for the rest of my life."

Gu Fei looked at Gu Lie, his gaze unwavering, a look that made Gu Lie's brows furrow slightly.

As his most beloved grandson, Gu Lie knew Gu Fei's temperament like the back of his hand; he had truly made up his mind.

"Child, there is no need to be so decisive; your future achievements are immeasurable, and life is long, why make such a decision so early?"

An elder of the Ancient Clan advised Gu Fei.

Gu Fei shook his head and refused directly, his attitude firm: "Since it will not change, it is better to decide early."

"According to our clan rules, your wife must be one with a powerful bloodline, so that the offspring you produce will not have weak bloodlines," Gu Lie said, frowning.
