Chapter 32: Yun Yun's Subtle Reaction!

Because Gu Fei refused to answer her questions directly and even left her behind to enter the mountain cave with that woman, Xun Er was sulking.

Ling Ying, who had been standing to the side like an invisible person and had not spoken a word, witnessed this farce and hesitated.

"Young Miss, since Young Master Gu Fei has said so, it is absolutely impossible for him to go against Xiao Yan."

"Young Master Gu Fei has great prestige among the younger generation of the clan; although I do not know much, I know a little—he does not rely solely on absolute strength to convince others, but even more so on his personal charisma."

"At the very least, with my own eyes, I cannot see any concealment or lies in him."

Watching the angry Xun Er, Ling Ying still could not help but speak up.

His tone was full of trust in Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was a man who valued his promises highly and always kept his word; since he said he was not dealing with Xiao Yan, then it was truly the case.

On one hand, Gu Fei was a genius whom Ling Ying needed to look up to, and his status was extremely noble.

Ling Ying's respect for Gu Fei came from the bottom of his heart.

When he first learned that Gu Fei had asked to marry Xun Er, Ling Ying had not said a word.

After all, Xun Er was someone he had watched grow up since she was a child, so he naturally had a bit of a filter, feeling that no man in the world was worthy of Miss Xun Er.

But after observing for a period of time, Ling Ying sincerely accepted his status as Xun Er's husband.

Previously, when Xun Er asked Ling Ying to contact Xiao Yan, Ling Ying had not wanted to.

It was very obvious that Xiao Yan was inferior to Gu Fei in every way.

Between Xiao Yan and Gu Fei, Ling Ying clearly preferred a union between Xun Er and Gu Fei.

A union between two gifted individuals must be even more perfect.

Although that Xiao Yan had a decent temperament and was steady enough, his talent was far inferior to Gu Fei's.

However, Ling Ying could not withstand Xun Er's stubbornness.

Coupled with his position of having spent many years with Xun Er, he had no choice but to side with her, and could only do so, helping Xun Er pass on information.

"Master Ling, I understand the logic, of course. Since Gu Fei said he would not make a move against Brother Xiao Yan, then it is set in stone; it is absolutely impossible."

"Just now, I was momentarily anxious and too reckless, which is why I spoke without thinking and questioned him."

Xun Er lowered her head and said in a low voice.

Although she was usually one who would not let others off when she was in the right, she was now feeling somewhat self-reproachful.

Last time, Xun Er had been extremely annoyed because Gu Yao sent people to deal with Xiao Yan, and without distinguishing right from wrong, she had misunderstood Gu Fei.

She thought she would not repeat the same mistake, but she did not expect that this time she would actually...

Watching Gu Fei and Yun Yun walking together in such a pleasing manner and stepping into the cave side-by-side, Xun Er felt increasingly uncomfortable in her heart.

She bit her lower lip and suddenly said, "No, I want to go in and see. What if that woman has ulterior motives? They must not have any accidents inside."

Ling Ying helplessly held his forehead and could only respond with a sound.

He, however, did not intend to go in, choosing only to guard outside.

Xun Er hesitated for a moment, intending to enter the mountain cave.

Just as she was about to enter the cave, her expression changed, and the sound of wind breaking rang out in the sky.

"Human, without the master's permission, you are not allowed to step into the cave dwelling."

"Back away."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King circled in the sky above, its massive figure shrouding this patch of the sky.

It lowered its head and issued a warning to both Xun Er and Ling Ying very sternly.

The broken horn on its head was still throbbing with pain, but the injury had already been staunched by Gu Fei.

Throughout this day, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's mood had been in a state of tension, never once relaxing.

The number of experts it had encountered today was simply too many.

Not only did it run into the Dou Huang Yun Yun, who came to demand the Purple Spirit Crystal and cut off half of its beast horn, but there was also a Dou Zong expert like Gu Fei.

Moreover, among those who came to find Gu Fei later, there was actually one at the peak of the Dou Huang level.

Ling Ying appeared to have no presence; he existed as a shadow and was accustomed to hiding himself.

But toward Ling Ying, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was also quite wary.

It stared at Ling Ying, calculating his strength in its heart.

When it issued the warning, its gaze was also vigilantly fixed on Ling Ying.

However, the Amethyst Winged Lion King understood that even if it were not a match, it still had to come up and block them; only then could it show its loyalty to Gu Fei.

Besides, these two clearly knew the master and should not attack it.

Regarding the Amethyst Winged Lion King's low warning, Xun Er looked up at it, showing no fear at all.

Her tone was slightly sharp as she scolded, "Move aside!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's figure paused, and anger surged in its heart.

It did not want to offend Ling Ying, but that did not mean this arrogant little girl could act unscrupulously!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's voice went quiet for a moment, and then, a subtle fluctuation spread through the air.

Ling Ying keenly sensed the gathering of Dou Qi, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He walked forward a few steps, stood in front of Xun Er, and blocked the Amethyst Winged Lion King's sinister gaze.

Ling Ying turned around and tried to persuade Xun Er: "Young Miss, Young Master Gu Fei might be in a fit of anger right now; it is best if we do not go in for the time being."

"It won't be too late to explain once Young Master Gu Fei has calmed down. Going now would be walking right into his line of fire; I fear it won't help him calm down."

Under Ling Ying's persuasion, Xun Er hesitated for a moment and finally calmed down.

She glanced coldly at the cave entrance and then waited outside.

The faintly gathering Dou Qi then dissipated, and Ling Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If he hadn't been able to persuade Xun Er, he feared he would have had to engage in a bitter battle with this Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Even if they do not use their full strength, it is inevitable that they will end up with some injuries.

……

On the other side, Yun Yun and Gu Fei walked into the cave side by side.

Yun Yun sensed the scorching gaze from Xun Er behind her, but she remained silent.

The two continued to walk a few steps further inside, and Yun Yun finally could not help but speak, asking: "The Xiao Yan you mentioned just now, is he the Xiao Yan from the Xiao family in Wutan City?"

Yun Yun's intuition told her that these two Xiao Yans were the same person.

However, what puzzled Yun Yun was how a good-for-nothing from a tiny Wutan City could know these youths who possessed such top-tier strength?

"Mm."

Gu Fei nodded indifferently, gave a very flat "mm," and had nothing else to say.

He could perceive that both Xun Er and Ling Ying were still outside the cave and had not left.

This made Gu Fei feel slightly displeased.

It was not that he was jealous because Xun Er only had Xiao Yan in her heart.

It was just that Gu Fei was a normal person, and naturally, he would feel unhappy about being wrongly accused and subjected to inexplicable speculation for no reason.

At this moment, Gu Fei let out a long breath of stale air; fortunately, he had already divorced Xun Er, and her influence on him was no longer significant.

If it were before, he feared he would be distracted for the entire day, constantly doubting himself in his heart.

Gu Fei shook the distracting thoughts from his mind.

At this moment, he suddenly missed that pure girl with purple hair and purple eyes who was waiting for him to return in the small valley.

At the very least, when she was by his side, Gu Fei had never experienced such terrible negative emotions.
