Chapter 114: Ancient Demon: Xun Er, I understand why Brother Gu Fei doesn't want you anymore!

Under the jealous and hateful gaze of Xun Er, Gu Fei officially became the Seventh Commander of the Black Annihilation Army under the burning gazes of many clansmen.

Although Gu Qingyang, who ranked second, also successfully served as the Eighth Commander, he appeared completely unremarkable standing beside Gu Fei at this moment.

Regarding this, Gu Qingyang could only smile helplessly.

"Quite glorious, it's just that this uniform isn't as good-looking as the one Sister Xiao Yixian picked out for you."

After the appointment ceremony ended, Gu Fei returned to the side of Xiao Yixian and the others.

Zi Yan immediately popped out, examining the Black Annihilation Army uniform in Gu Fei's hands.

"That goes without saying, Xiao Yixian's taste is second to none in the world, otherwise why would she be following me?"

While Gu Fei was boasting, he also brought Xiao Yixian into it, causing Xiao Yixian to giggle repeatedly, her little face turning a few shades redder.

"What are your plans next?" Xiao Yixian asked with concern.

"After becoming a Black Annihilation Army commander, I need to stay in the Black Annihilation Army to train troops. You all can rest at my residence; with Venerable Tianhuo looking after you, no one should disturb you."

Gu Fei cast a glance at Venerable Tianhuo, and Venerable Tianhuo nodded in understanding, accepting the task.

Thus, Xiao Yixian and the others followed Venerable Tianhuo back to the Bamboo Building and continued their cultivation, while Gu Fei followed Gu Zhan to the Black Annihilation Army training grounds to begin training the troops.

Most of the hot-blooded men of the Ancient Clan in the Black Annihilation Army craved strength and talent, and Gu Fei possessed both; many in the Black Annihilation Army admired Gu Fei immensely.

Therefore, although Gu Fei was a newcomer, there was no one in the Black Annihilation Army who refused to submit to his discipline, and everything went very smoothly.

Gu Fei was already a genius of the Ancient Clan, and now that he had successfully become a Black Annihilation Army commander, his prestige in the clan grew with each passing day; the old man Gu Lie hadn't stopped smiling for the past few days.

"Brother Qingyang, my task is finished, I'm leaving first!"

One day, after Gu Fei finished his task, he greeted Gu Qingyang and prepared to leave.

But just as he walked outside the training grounds, a gentle voice that made him feel somewhat disgusted rang out: "Brother Gu Fei, training troops every day during this period must be very tiring..."

Gu Fei frowned, looked up, and saw it was indeed Xun Er.

Today, Xun Er was clearly much more polite than in the past, even taking the initiative to come to the training grounds to care for Gu Fei in a gentle tone.

"As a commander, these are all my duties."

Gu Fei did not want to have too much entanglement with Xun Er and replied indifferently, not changing his attitude because of Xun Er's sweet tone.

Hearing Gu Fei's cold words, the tenderness in Xun Er's eyes froze slightly, but she still pretended to be enthusiastic, only she hadn't had time to speak before Gu Fei spoke first.

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Gu Fei said flatly and left directly without paying any attention to Xun Er.

Xun Er stood where she was, blankly watching Gu Fei's departing back; the words she wanted to say hadn't even had time to be spoken...

Feelings of grievance gradually emerged; when had she ever received such cold treatment...

"Xun Er, you've come to the training grounds too..."

Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao happened to be coming out of the training grounds, and when Gu Yao saw Xun Er standing motionless, he greeted her happily.

"What does this have to do with you?"

Xun Er said coldly; she vented the anger of being snubbed by Gu Fei onto Gu Yao.

"Xun Er, Gu Yao didn't provoke or offend you... Besides, you should be able to understand his feelings for you!"

Gu Qingyang frowned; he felt that since Gu Fei no longer wanted his sister, Xun Er choosing Gu Yao was also a good choice.

"What feelings? Last time, he was the one who said he could beat Gu Fei, and what was the result?"

"Defeated in a sorry state, how can you talk big without strength?!" Xun Er said angrily, not giving Gu Yao a good look at all.

"Xun Er, Brother Gu Fei is indeed someone I cannot compare to!"

"His strength is far greater than mine!"

Gu Yao said very earnestly; he was defeated by Gu Fei and was convinced of his loss.

"Hmph, do you think that if the other half I'm looking for is worse than Gu Fei and is a piece of trash, I will have any face left to stay in the clan in the future?"

"Do you want to see me being mocked by others in the clan later?"

Xun Er shouted loudly, her attitude heartless and cold.

Gu Yao felt a wave of distress in his heart at being told this. He looked at the beautiful Xun Er before him, his body trembling.

"Could it be that I have been wrong all along?"

"Xun Er actually has this kind of thinking..."

"Has it all been my own wishful thinking and... unrequited love all this time?"

In this instant, Gu Yao suddenly felt that the person he had liked for so many years seemed to be the wrong one.

"It's probably impossible to find someone more outstanding than Brother Gu Fei!"

"At least, that piece of trash from the Xiao Clan is impossible to achieve that!"

Gu Yao's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and his tone became cutting.

"You, what did you say?"

Xun Er did not expect that Gu Yao would dare to insult Brother Xiao Yan to her face; this was her reverse scale, how could Gu Yao, who had always been obedient to her, dare to do this!

Coupled with the fact that Gu Yao had previously sent people to attempt to kill her Brother Xiao Yan, Xun Er looked at Gu Yao with eyes full of anger at this moment.

If it weren't for her own lack of strength, she would have wanted to take action against Gu Yao! "Everything I said is the truth!"

"For the sake of a piece of trash from the Xiao Clan, you have failed Brother Gu Fei's intentions..."

"I didn't understand Brother Gu Fei's decision before and even thought he was wrong, but now I know just how wise his decision was."

After Gu Yao finished speaking, he turned his head to the side, his gaze no longer falling on Xun Er.

The fanatical pursuer who had always been by her side suddenly treated her this way, and her already low mood plummeted into an even deeper abyss.

"I..."

The words on the tip of Xun Er's tongue remained unspoken; she turned around and left, aggrieved, leaving behind a lonely figure.

Leaving the drill ground, Gu Fei returned to the Bamboo Building, where Zi Yan was playing with Qing Lin.

"You've finally returned; I've been here so long I'm about to grow mold... and your timing is perfect, Big Sister Xiao Yixian just finished her cultivation."

Just as Zi Yan's voice fell, Xiao Yixian pushed open the door and walked out.

Having just finished her cultivation, Xiao Yixian's delicate body was still wreathed in heaven and earth energy, her Dou Qi abundant, and her strength appeared to have improved significantly.

When the Woeful Poison Body is utilized well, it is indeed a cheat code for leveling up.

"Did anyone come to cause you trouble while I was away?" Gu Fei asked as he pulled Xiao Yixian into his arms.

Xiao Yixian shook her head and asked, "Are you getting used to staying in the Black Annihilation Army?"

"Although the management of the Black Annihilation Army is strict, it is generally a constraint on ordinary soldiers; as a Commander, I have much more freedom."

"That's good," Xiao Yixian said softly.

"You went to the Black Annihilation Army and made Big Sister Xiao Yixian worry, fearing you were suffering and struggling inside, while I've been here unable to eat my fill or sleep well, yet I don't see Sister doting on me..."

Zi Yan poked out her little head, looking at Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian with resentment.

"Alright, alright, I've returned this time prepared to refine some Eight-Rank Medicinal Pills, and I'll refine some medicinal pellets for you while I'm at it."

Upon hearing that she would soon have many medicinal pellets to eat, Zi Yan immediately jumped for joy.

Afterwards, Gu Fei gave some instructions and prepared to open the furnace to refine pills.

And this time, what he intended to refine was an Eight-Rank Medicinal Pill of higher quality!

When the pill was formed, five-colored Pill Lightning suddenly descended upon the mountain peak where Gu Fei was located! "This is... five-colored Pill Lightning? The Pill Lightning unique to an Eight-Rank Medicinal Pill?"

"Looking at the situation, it seems to be the mountain peak where Lord Seventh Commander is!"

"Didn't the Seventh Commander only just break through to the seventh grade a little over a year ago? In less than two years, he has climbed from a seventh-grade to an Eighth Grade Alchemist?"

The fact that Gu Fei could refine Eight-Rank Medicinal Pills once again caused a sensation.

An eighteen-year-old Eighth Grade Alchemist, and one who could refine a pill capable of drawing six-colored Pill Lightning, would be considered a genius even within the Yao Clan, which is renowned for its talent in alchemy.
