Chapter 136: Gu Fei: She doesn't want to marry, and no one can force her!

Since Gu Fei had already spoken to this extent, Jia Xingtian did not say anything more.

The several great empires surrounding the Jia Ma Empire certainly had some experts, but none were outrageously strong.

With Gu Fei's unfathomable strength and the Seventh-Rank Magical Beast by his side, he indeed had the confidence to say those words.

After discussing the migration of the Snake-People Tribe, the atmosphere of the banquet relaxed significantly.

Jia Xingtian upheld the way of respecting guests and did not ask further, but Yaoye could not suppress her inner thoughts.

She saw Medusa leaning tightly against Gu Fei, Gu Fei touching Medusa's belly from time to time, and Medusa responding with a sweet smile.

That appearance was clearly love.

Could it be that Medusa and Gu Fei were together?

Thinking of this, even Jia Xingtian felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

The legendary cold, bloodthirsty, and emotionless Medusa actually liked a human? Jia Xingtian was surprised, while Yaoye was jealous.

After learning of Gu Fei's return, she had immediately dressed up meticulously, wanting to re-establish her image in front of Gu Fei, or even... capture Gu Fei's heart.

Yet until now, Gu Fei had not even looked at her a few times.

"Young Master Gu Fei."

Yaoye decided to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"I feel that you have become much stronger compared to the last time we met; did you encounter some fortuitous opportunity?"

"No fortuitous opportunity, just pure talent."

Gu Fei's conversation-ending reply made Cai'er beside him let out a "pfft" of laughter, accompanied by a roll of her eyes at him.

Yaoye smiled awkwardly and said again: "Young Master Gu Fei is truly brilliant; I presume you will surely be one of the supreme experts in the world in the future."

"That is of cour—" Gu Fei said halfway, but seeing Cai'er's eye-roll again in his peripheral vision, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and did not continue his answer.

Yaoye was not stupid; Gu Fei was currently focused entirely on Medusa and did not want to talk to her at all.

Although she felt incomparably disappointed, she would not ask for trouble.

Just as Yaoye quieted down, another more lively person made her entrance.

"Master Gu Fei, how could you not tell me when you returned!"

"I have long wanted to show you my Alchemy!"

The gate opened, and a little girl skipped in.

"Since when did you have a disciple?"

Cai'er asked.

Gu Fei gave a wry smile and said: "She insisted on calling me Master."

Yao Yue came before Gu Fei, her mischievous eyes carrying a hint of admiration.

With her arrival, the banquet suddenly became much more active.

Yao Yue kept talking to Gu Fei, but unfortunately, before she could say a few words, she was interrupted by Yaoye.

A subordinate came to Yaoye's side, Yaoye whispered a few words, Yaoye frowned slightly, and then looked at Gu Fei.

"Young Master Gu Fei, Nalan Yanran wishes to see you; she looks very anxious. I wonder if you would like to see her?"

"She wants to see me, for what matter?"

Hearing this, Gu Fei frowned. He and Nalan Yanran did not have much of a friendship to speak of; it was nothing more than him helping her grandfather remove the Luo Poison back then because of Yun Yun's intercession.

But that was also due to his relationship with Yun Yun, and had nothing to do with Nalan Yanran.

"She didn't say what it was about!"

Yaoye shook her head and said: "However, tomorrow is the big day for her teacher, Yunlan Sect Sect Master Yun Yun. She isn't going to the Yunlan Sect to help, yet she has the leisure to come here..."

"Yun Yun's big day?"

"With whom?" Hearing Yaoye's words, Gu Fei was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Yun Yun was actually about to marry someone.

Beside him, Medusa's beautiful eyes revealed a strange look. Previously, after her evolution failed, she had been kept by Gu Fei's side, and she knew that Gu Fei was acquainted with this woman, Yun Yun, and that their relationship seemed somewhat ambiguous.

However, she was very smart and did not speak up at this moment, just listening silently.

She was not a queen now, but a man behind Gu Fei; what Gu Fei would do depended on himself. "Pill King Gu He!" Yaoye replied.

"Gu He?"

Hearing Yaoye's answer, Gu Fei frowned again.

In the original story, this event seemed to have happened as well, but in that case, Yun Yun was forced by Yun Shan to marry Gu He. He did not know if Yun Yun was also being forced by Yun Shan this time.

"Let her come over!" Gu Fei said in a deep voice.

Soon, Nalan Yanran was led over by Yaoye.

Nalan Yanran swayed as she entered the main hall. After seeing Gu Fei sitting there, she was like someone dying of thirst seeing water and wanted to rush over quickly, but Yaoye suddenly pulled her back.

"Young Master Gu Fei is an honored guest of my Imperial Family; you must not be disrespectful to him!" Yaoye's voice rang out in Nalan Yanran's mind.

Nalan Yanran then regained her composure and walked quickly to Gu Fei.

"Young Master Gu Fei, please save my teacher!"

Nalan Yanran said in a voice filled with tears.

She knew that her teacher and Gu Fei should be friends.

It was because her teacher Yun Yun had interceded that Gu Fei was willing to help her grandfather detoxify.

As long as she explained the predicament Yun Yun was currently facing to Gu Fei, Gu Fei would definitely take action to help Yun Yun.

With Gu Fei's mysterious strength, it should not be difficult to rescue Yun Yun; the key lay in whether he was willing to help her.

"Just now I heard Yaoye say that your teacher is to marry Gu He; are you here for this matter?" Gu Fei did not beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Yes!"

"I am indeed here for this matter."

"Is your teacher doing this voluntarily?" Gu Fei asked again.

"Of course not!" Nalan Yanran replied immediately.

"Although Teacher respects Master Gu He, it is only out of courtesy; there is not a shred of affection mixed in. When Grandmaster proposed that Teacher marry Master Gu He, Teacher refused in no uncertain terms and defied the order."

"But to win over Master Gu He, Grandmaster actually placed a Seal on Teacher's Dou Qi and put her under house arrest..."

"Right now, Teacher is trapped within the Yunlan Sect. I know that Young Master Gu Fei has some friendship with Teacher, so I have come to seek your help."

"If Young Master Gu Fei is unwilling to help, then Teacher, she..."

【Nalan Yanran experiences feelings of sadness, Emotion Value +60】

As Nalan Yanran spoke, she began to sob, her tone extremely sorrowful.

After hearing Nalan Yanran's description, Gu Fei frowned, and his vast Dou Qi began to ripple across the surface of his body involuntarily.

"So strong!"

Just the slight aura he emitted made Yaoye and Nalan Yanran feel very uncomfortable, and Jia Xingtian acted in time to protect the two of them.

He felt that the Dou Qi on Gu Fei was as vast as the ocean, while he himself was merely a stream in comparison.

"Preposterous... For Yun Shan to act this way, he is simply unworthy of being a teacher!" Gu Fei said angrily.

Back then, he had advised Yun Yun that there would be a broader sky if she left the Jia Ma Empire, but Yun Yun was hesitant because her heart was tied to the Yunlan Sect.

Gu Fei also respected Yun Yun's decision.

But he had not expected that even without the deep feud between Xiao Yan and the Yunlan Sect, this matter would still happen.

"If she does not want to marry, no one can force her!"
