Chapter 121: Three Women Make a Play!

"I! I..."

Asked this by Gu Yuan, Xun Er was clearly somewhat anxious; the words she wanted to say reached her lips but she could not spit them out no matter what.

"Am I truly content with this?"

Gu Fei's image appeared in her mind, and Xun Er felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

After a moment of silence, she nodded slightly and said in an extremely faint voice, "Yes..."

"Sigh..."

Having received Xun Er's reply, Gu Yuan sighed, his expression one of utter helplessness.

"Xun Er, you should know that the fault for your divorce from Gu Fei lies with you. Since you still like him now, why did you have to do such things back then?"

Gu Yuan had a very good temperament and, as a Clan Leader, was always calm and unruffled, yet every time he thought of this matter, it made him feel angry.

He was angry at his disappointing daughter.

Xun Er also knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

"I will no longer interfere in your affairs with Gu Fei, lest that brat hold a grudge against me in the future... Also, your talent is excellent; if you keep dwelling on such matters, I fear even the best talent will be delayed..."

Seeing Xun Er remain silent, Gu Yuan left behind these words and vanished directly from before her.

Some pain should be deeply felt by Xun Er; otherwise, under his doting, she would forever be a spoiled princess who never grows up.

After Gu Yuan left, Xun Er stood alone on the spot, looking at the empty surroundings, feeling lost and helpless.

She had not expected that even her own father would not support her now that she wanted to win Gu Fei back.

Could it be that everything she did back then was wrong?

Did she and Gu Fei no longer have any chance...

"Women are truly more troublesome one after another; I haven't even shaken off Xun Er, and now here comes Huo Zhi..."

After the banquet ended, Gu Fei returned to his own mountain peak.

He had originally thought that since he had spoken so decisively, Huo Zhi would retreat in the face of difficulties, but he had not expected her to latch onto him; it was troublesome.

"Brother Gu Fei, you're back. How did things go?"

Seeing Gu Fei return, before Xiao Yixian could speak, Zi Yan asked first.

Hearing this, Gu Fei looked at Xiao Yixian and said, "Huo Zhi did indeed come to our Ancient Clan to propose marriage, and the object of the proposal is indeed me."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Yixian's mouth, and she teased, "A beauty throwing herself into your arms—Brother Gu Fei, you weren't tempted, were you?"

"Of course I didn't agree. After the Yan Clan delegation stated their purpose, I refused on the spot, but... that Huo Zhi took the initiative to say we should interact for a while longer before making a decision."

"What is there to interact with her about? Let me interact with her using my fists!"

Zi Yan gestured with her small fists boisterously, showing off her brute strength.

"She is a Dou Zong, you can't beat her..." Gu Fei said softly.

Hearing this, Zi Yan rubbed her head and gave a sheepish smile: "I can't beat her, but don't I have you!"

Gu Fei patted Zi Yan's head and, without speaking to her further, looked at Xiao Yixian and gently pulled her into his embrace.

"I have no intention of interacting with her, but the Clan Leader spoke up and asked me to spend a few more days with her. The Clan Leader is giving face to the Yan Clan, and with Grandfather also getting involved, I cannot disregard their dignity."

"It's an expedient measure; I can only agree for now."

Gu Fei's patient and gentle explanation made Xiao Yixian feel warm inside. She already felt very secure regarding Gu Fei; even without an explanation, she would not doubt Gu Fei's feelings for her.

"It's fine, I believe you." Xiao Yixian grabbed Gu Fei's hand.

"Ah, that means that woman is still going to stay in the Ancient Realm!" Zi Yan complained: "But it doesn't matter, in a few days, Brother Gu Fei, you can just tell her clearly again..."

Upon learning that Huo Zhi's strength was greater than her own, Zi Yan's tone was not as tough as before.

Gu Fei knew very well that the actions of the elders in the clan had hardly considered Xiao Yixian's feelings.

They simply treated Gu Fei's current girlfriend as a transparent person, merely hiding a beauty in a golden house.

Gu Fei was well aware of this but was powerless to change it.

While he was a genius, a genius was not a powerhouse; strength determined all say within the clan. Before he possessed the strength to make the elders take him seriously, he had no voice.

After explaining, Gu Fei carried Xiao Yixian into the inner room; seeing this, Zi Yan and Qing Lin tactfully left.

The next day, Gu Fei woke up and saw that Xiao Yixian was still fast asleep, so he kissed her red lips lightly before getting up and heading to the drill ground.

To his surprise, Huo Zhi was already waiting there.

"Morning!"

Seeing Gu Fei arrive, Huo Zhi immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Morning!"

Gu Fei replied casually and then turned to leave, intending to go train the troops.

"Greetings, Five Commanders!"

The Black Annihilation Army soldiers passing by looked at Gu Fei with admiration; this was a manifestation of respect.

Seeing that Gu Fei held such prestige within the Black Annihilation Army, Huo Zhi's eyes held even more appreciation.

Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and beauties have likewise liked heroes. For a man like Gu Fei, even if he already had a woman and was married, he probably could not stop other women from throwing themselves at him.

Although Huo Zhi was not quite at that point yet, she could not stop her admiration for Gu Fei.

"Brother Gu Fei, morning!"

Huo Zhi's heart was restless when suddenly another voice sounded from the side. Huo Zhi fixed her eyes on the person—it was Xun Er.

Xun Er noticed Huo Zhi's gaze and looked back with a provocative expression.

Her eyes seemed to be saying, Gu Fei is not your man; if I want to come see him, I will come see him!

Her purpose in coming this time was also very simple: she did not want to let Huo Zhi and Gu Fei be alone.

Although she felt Gu Fei would not be easily taken down by Huo Zhi, she still felt uneasy in her heart; if Huo Zhi really succeeded in the end, she would truly have no face left to show anyone.

After all, at the banquet, Huo Zhi had already declared war on her.

Seeing Xun Er approach, Gu Fei frowned slightly; what were they trying to do?

"Morning!"

Out of politeness, Gu Fei still responded to Xun Er, but his attitude was extremely cold, and his pace continued forward without stopping.

But before he had walked two steps, another pleasant female voice rang out.

"Big Brother Gu Fei, your shirt button isn't fastened!"

Hearing this, Gu Fei's forward stride suddenly paused, and he turned around to look behind him; the person who had come was actually Xiao Yixian.

"Why are you here? Weren't you still asleep just now?" Gu Fei sent a voice transmission to Xiao Yixian.

"I was just pretending to sleep. If I didn't come now, you would have been snatched away by someone else, hmph!"

Xiao Yixian's slightly tsundere voice rang out in Gu Fei's mind; she felt that at this moment she should be more proactive and not let others take advantage of the situation.

She landed in front of Gu Fei and placed her hand on his collar, but there was no loose button there; she had merely intentionally unbuttoned one and then fastened it back up.

Her purpose in doing this was also very simple: to declare her sovereignty.

No matter how you all fight over Gu Fei, Gu Fei is my man right now!

His heart belongs to me!

Gu Fei's originally hurried footsteps stopped only because of Xiao Yixian; this was the tacit response between the two of them.
