Chapter 187: Xiao Yan: Young Master Gu Fei, I beg you to save my master!

"Could it be that because I took Zi Yan along to uproot the Human Hall of the Soul Hall a few years ago and seized the Soul Origin within, it caused the Soul Clan to delay their plan to annihilate the Spirit Clan this time?"

At this moment, Gu Fei fell into deep thought.

It seemed that only that reason could explain the current situation occurring with the Spirit Clan.

"Daddy, what's wrong?"

"Mother said that frowning doesn't look good..."

Wushuang noticed the strange look on Gu Fei's face and asked in confusion, while simultaneously reaching out with her small, fair hand to smooth out the lines on Gu Fei's forehead.

Beside Gu Fei, Cai'er and Xiao Yixian also noticed the change in Gu Fei's expression.

"What is Husband thinking about?"

Doubts arose in their hearts.

"Could it be?"

"Is Husband frowning because of this young girl who is staying with Xianle?"

The next moment, the gazes of Cai'er and Xiao Yixian turned in unison toward the young girl, Ling Xi.

Being watched by the three of them, Ling Xi felt a bit nervous on her small face involuntarily.

"This must be Young Master Gu Fei... I actually didn't approach Xianle on purpose!"

"Sister Xianle, I'm leaving now!"

Through the way Wushuang and Xianle addressed Gu Fei, Ling Xi guessed Gu Fei's identity.

At this moment, she was letting her imagination run wild.

She thought that Gu Fei's current reaction was because he did not want his daughter to associate with her.

Thus, after earnestly explaining to Gu Fei, Ling Xi intended to leave this place.

"Daddy, it was me who accidentally bumped into Sister Ling Xi; Sister Ling Xi is a very good person!"

"She is my friend!"

"Sister Ling Xi, don't leave yet!"

Xianle grabbed Ling Xi with her small hand and began to explain to Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian.

"Be good, Xianle. Daddy was just thinking about other things; it has nothing to do with her. You two go back to playing!"

Hearing Xianle's words, Gu Fei smiled and then set Wushuang down.

Possessing the Emotion System, no one in this world could perceive the human heart better than Gu Fei.

Through the Emotion Value prompts just now, Gu Fei naturally knew the character of this young girl, Ling Xi.

She did not harbor any ulterior motives.

On the contrary, her heart was exceptionally pure.

"Then we'll go back to playing!"

Hearing this, Xianle was very happy, and Ling Xi also lost the sense of awkwardness she had just felt.

After the little ones gradually walked away.

The face that had been full of smiles on Gu Fei once again became deeply furrowed.

Because he sensed a malicious, prying gaze. As he suddenly turned his head, Gu Fei's eyes caught three figures dressed in black robes watching from the crowd.

Without a doubt, the attire and the aura emanating from those three clearly indicated their identity as members of the Soul Clan.

The Soul Clan had always been a mountain pressing down on Gu Fei's heart; if he wanted his family to live carefree lives in the future.

He had to deal with the Soul Clan! When those three black-robed figures were swept by Gu Fei's gaze, their heartbeats all accelerated, and they subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

These three were all elites of the younger generation of the Soul Clan, with cultivation levels all above Eight-Star Dou Zun, sent by the Soul Clan to participate in the Heavenly Tomb trial.

However, in Gu Fei's eyes, these three were not worth mentioning, like clowns.

After one glance, Gu Fei withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention, leading Cai'er and Xiao Yixian to follow behind the little ones.

"This person is so terrifying!"

"Just from one look, I felt like I had walked through the gates of hell!"

"Gu Fei is truly worthy of being called the number one genius of the Ancient Clan. Such a figure, I fear only the Young Clan Leader could be mentioned in the same breath as him!" After Gu Fei left, the three from the Soul Clan all let out a sigh of relief; in that instant just now, all three of them had broken out in a cold sweat on their backs.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you said you would leave after finishing some matters. What exactly is the matter that requires you to come to our Ancient Clan in person to handle?"

On Xun Er's side, after hearing Xiao Yan's words, a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes.

She guessed whether Xiao Yan had learned of his identity as a descendant of the Ancient Xiao Clan.

"I am here for..."

Hearing Xun Er's words, Xiao Yan hesitated, not knowing how to say it for a moment.

"Could it be that Brother Xiao Yan is truly here this time to compete for a spot to enter the Heavenly Tomb?"

Looking at the hesitant look on Xiao Yan's face, Xun Er speculated in her heart.

This time, people from many Ancient Races had come, but it was not just to observe the ceremony.

It was also related to the opening of the Heavenly Tomb.

The Heavenly Tomb was a special space created by a former Dou Di powerhouse.

This space was a place for the deceased to rest, allowing people to remain in another form after death.

Furthermore, the flow of time in this space was different from the outside world, being several times faster.

With such a high time flow rate! Cultivating inside would yield twice the result with half the effort.

The Heavenly Tomb opened once every twenty years, and each of the Ancient Eight Clans had two spots to enter.

However, ever since the Ancient Xiao Clan completely declined and disappeared a thousand years ago, the two spots belonging to the Xiao Clan had been occupied by people from the Ancient Clan.

The current Ancient Clan had already treated this matter as a habit; if Xiao Yan was truly here for a spot, it would likely be extremely difficult to succeed.

"Brother Gu Fei is coming over!"

Just at this moment, the crowd gathered around here stirred slightly, and a path happened to open up.

"Brother Gu Fei!"

Hearing the commotion, Xun Er also looked up and saw Gu Fei walking slowly from that direction.

The expression on her face was very joyful.

However, she soon saw that Gu Fei's brows were furrowed.

"Is Brother Gu Fei angry?"

"I shouldn't have come out to find Brother Xiao Yan this time!"

Xun Er realized that she had just been talking to Xiao Yan, and thinking back on what happened earlier, she couldn't help but feel a wave of regret, regretting that she shouldn't have come over here to talk to Xiao Yan tonight.

In fact, she did not know that Gu Fei had not noticed her side at all.

The reason Gu Fei was frowning now was because he was still thinking about those matters regarding the Soul Clan's plan being postponed.

"It's him!"

Xiao Yan turned his head and, at this moment, also saw Gu Fei, who was the center of everyone's attention.

Beside Gu Fei, two stunning beauties surrounded him, and people around him kept stopping to pay their respects; he could truly be described as radiant.

"Teacher said that only this person has fused several Exotic Fires and can revive Teacher..."

"If I miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy to see him again!"

Xiao Yan had not forgotten the ultimate purpose of his trip to the Ancient Realm, and at this moment, all other matters were automatically filtered to the back of his mind.

He plucked up his courage and slowly walked toward Gu Fei.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"

Seeing Xiao Yan walking toward Gu Fei as if he had made up his mind about something, Xun Er mistakenly thought that Xiao Yan was about to do something foolish.

"Don't you know what your own strength is? Why must you overestimate yourself?"

The next moment, Xun Er also followed and tried to persuade him from behind Xiao Yan.

"Young Master Gu Fei, I beg you, save my master!"
