Chapter 188: You don't think that whoever is weak is in the right, do you?

Xiao Yan approached Gu Fei, his abrupt words leaving those around them somewhat puzzled.

"This kid actually has the nerve to come and ask Brother Gu Fei to save someone; he is truly audacious!"

"Back then, Brother Gu Fei chose to separate from Miss Xun Er precisely because she was too attentive to this kid..."

"Who is Brother Xiao Yan trying to save? Could it be that he wants to save his mysterious master?"

Xun Er was also very puzzled at this moment.

Furthermore, what exactly was the situation with his master that it absolutely required Gu Fei to save him? Could no one else save him?

"Save someone?"

Gu Fei, who had been pondering the affairs of the Soul Clan, stopped in his tracks and swept his gaze toward Xiao Yan.

Gu Fei was slightly surprised by Xiao Yan's arrival in the Ancient Realm, but that was all.

This kind of matter was no longer on his mind.

"Husband, do you know him?"

"I suppose we've crossed paths. During the trip to the Yunlan Sect, this person was lurking on the sidelines, and there was a remnant soul following him..."

Gu Fei turned his head to reply to Xiao Yixian.

"Young Master Gu Fei, I came to the Ancient Realm this time specifically to find you and beg for your help. Please, you must save my master!"

Feeling ignored by Gu Fei, Xiao Yan hurriedly reorganized his words and said it again.

His tone was very sincere.

"Is this your attitude when asking for a favor?"

Hearing this, Gu Fei glanced at Xiao Yan again and spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing Gu Fei's words, the expression in Xiao Yan's eyes seemed to show some struggle.

He thought Gu Fei was making things difficult for him because of his past with Xun Er and wanted to vent his anger.

For the sake of his mentor, Yao Lao.

Xiao Yan was willing to sacrifice some things.

Even a man's dignity.

The next moment, Xiao Yan's legs bent slightly; there was actually a sign that he was about to kneel to Gu Fei.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what are you doing?" Seeing this scene, Xun Er immediately reached out to hold Xiao Yan back: "Even if you are asking for a favor, you don't need to kneel!"

"Young Master Gu Fei, after we parted back then, I never thought I would have the chance to see you again here!"

Just then, Xuan Kongzi and Venerable Feng walked over. Xuan Kongzi and Gu Fei were old acquaintances, so his tone was quite relaxed.

"President Xuan Kongzi!"

Meeting an acquaintance, Gu Fei nodded politely and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I must thank you, President Xuan Kongzi, for the Exotic Fire you gifted me back then. Since you have come to the Ancient Realm as a guest, I must treat you well!"

Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi thought to himself: "That Exotic Fire back then was clearly snatched by you, yet you insist on saying it was a gift from this old man."

However, while thinking this, Xuan Kongzi still wore a flattering smile on his face: "Heavenly spiritual objects like Exotic Fire belong to those capable of holding them!"

"That Young Master Gu Fei was able to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame just goes to show that you have a destiny with Exotic Fire!"

With the appearance of Xuan Kongzi, an acquaintance, Xiao Yan was once again ignored by Gu Fei.

"Young Master Gu Fei, what exactly do you want me to do before you agree to save my master?"

Being ignored again, Xiao Yan grew a bit anxious, and his tone involuntarily carried a hint of resentment as he questioned him.

His state of being.

Seemed to make it look like Gu Fei was making things difficult for him.

"What do I want you to do?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Gu Fei first frowned in displeasure.

"Heh!"

Then, seemingly amused by Xiao Yan's actions, Gu Fei retorted: "Do you think we have a very good relationship? That as soon as you open your mouth, I must help you?"

As Gu Fei's words fell, Xiao Yan stood frozen on the spot, his face looking very embarrassed.

In terms of relationship.

His relationship with Gu Fei definitely could not be considered good.

Moreover, this was the first time the two had officially met.

Reasonably and logically, Gu Fei indeed had no obligation to help.

"I just said it!"

"If you want to ask for a favor, you must show the attitude of someone asking for a favor!"

"What's more, the person you want to save is right here, yet he is unwilling to come out and see me personally. Where is your sincerity?"

Gu Fei continued to say a few more words.

Every sentence was reasonable, and there was not the slightest intention of looking down on anyone.

"This Xiao Yan really doesn't know how to conduct himself; he doesn't understand such an obvious principle?"

"When people like us ask an Alchemist to refine pills, we must offer a generous gift, and not only must we provide our own medicinal materials, but they must be double the amount!"

"Asking for a favor without explaining what the matter is, and without a gift, yet wanting to keep pushing the other party to agree—this is the first time this old man has seen such an absurd person!"

The onlookers all stood on Gu Fei's side, not just because of Gu Fei's status, but more because Gu Fei was in the right.

This place is not a place where whoever is weak is in the right.

"I almost misunderstood Brother Gu Fei again!"

Xun Er also realized that Gu Fei's words were not meant to make things difficult for Xiao Yan, but were merely a normal request for compensation for providing help.

"Young Master Gu Fei, please forgive us; our master and disciple were too abrupt!"

Just as Xiao Yan was feeling embarrassed, Yao Lao's soul drifted out from Xiao Yan's Storage Ring.

As soon as his illusory, aged figure appeared, it drew looks of surprise from many people nearby.

"Isn't that the Medicine Venerable from back in the day?"

"Rumor has it that the Medicine Venerable fell many years ago; I never expected he would still have a soul remaining in this world!"

After Yao Lao's soul appeared, he did not pay attention to the voices of discussion around him, but instead cupped his hands toward Gu Fei and said sincerely, "Young Master Gu Fei, it is not that this old man is unwilling to come forward... this old man is now merely a soul body, and it is truly inconvenient to appear in public..."

"This old man has come this time to beg Young Master Gu Fei to reshape a physical body for this old man!"

Yao Lao's efficiency was much higher than Xiao Yan's; he stated his purpose without any wasted words.

"The Medicine Venerable was once hailed as the number one Alchemist in the Central Plains!"

"Now that he has come forward in person, surely Young Master Gu Fei will give him this face!"

"Indeed, if the Medicine Venerable can be resurrected, this favor could be exchanged for a large number of high-tier Pills in the future; the Ancient Clan should not refuse!"

"What a joke, does such a stray dog even deserve to be called the number one Alchemist?"

"The standard of Alchemists in the Central Plains is truly laughable!"

Just as some experts from the sects of the Central Plains were flattering Yao Lao, two mocking voices rang out abruptly, instantly causing Xiao Yan's eyes to turn bloodshot.

"How dare you insult my master!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, staring fixedly at the two people who had just spoken.

At this moment, Yao Lao's expression was also extremely furious, his eyes staring coldly at those two people.

The speakers were two young men wearing Alchemist robes; it was clear that they both came from the Yao Clan and knew that Yao Chen was the clansman who had been driven out by their Yao Clan back then.

"Brother Xiao Yan, do not be impulsive; you are not yet a match for those two!"

Xun Er hurriedly tried to persuade Xiao Yan.

The two young men who came from the Yao Clan had both reached a cultivation level of Seven-Star Dou Venerate or higher; if Xiao Yan were to make a move, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

"A piece of trash is indeed a piece of trash; the disciple he taught is just as much of a piece of trash!"

Facing the angry gazes of the master and disciple, the two from the Yao Clan were fearless and continued to utter mocking sounds.
