331. Chapter 331: Is This Very Difficult?

"Elder Lei Xiao is a highly respected senior of our clan, and he usually lives in this Thunder Mountain Range to cultivate."

Lei Zhuzhu introduced from the side, "I wonder if there is anything the young master needs my help with during this trip?"

Lei Xiao asked, "Many thanks for the senior's kindness, but my trip is only to visit your noble clan and, incidentally, to take in the scenery of the Lei Realm."

Gu Fei shook his head. Lei Xiao nodded and did not ask further; Gu Fei could not expose the purpose of this trip to these people.

After all, alerting the enemy and letting the spy run away would be disastrous. Gu Fei exchanged a few more pleasantries and then took his leave.

"Young Master, where shall we go next?"

Lei Zhuzhu turned to look at Gu Fei. "Let's wander around a bit more. Since it was not easy to come here, we might as well walk through the entire Lei Realm."

Gu Fei pondered for a moment. This was not surprising.

After all, he had been to many places and had not found the spy.

Now it seemed he could not let any place go. "Then I shall take the young master for a good tour."

Lei Zhuzhu covered her mouth and smiled. After saying this, Lei Zhuzhu took Gu Fei and flew toward the distance.

Gu Fei followed Lei Zhuzhu to tour several mountain ranges of the Lei Clan, but still gained nothing.

Although he appeared to be admiring the scenery on the surface, he was actually observing the passing Lei Clan members in secret. But strangely, the system never sent any abnormal Emotion Value feedback.

Looking at the magnificent Thunder Mountain Range before him, Gu Fei could not help but fall into deep thought.

The Lei Clan, the Yan Clan, and the Ancient Clan all placed their Ancient Jade in their Ancestral Hall.

Since the spies in the Ancient Clan and the Yan Clan were both related to the Ancestral Hall, the spy sent by the Soul Clan to the Lei Clan was likely also hiding in the Lei Clan's Ancestral Hall, secretly waiting for an opportunity.

The goal of these spies from the beginning was very likely to guard the Ancient Jade.

They were just waiting for the Soul Clan's order to seize the opportunity to act against the Ancient Jade! "Miss Lei, may I ask where your clan's Ancestral Hall is located?"

Thinking of this, Gu Fei turned to look at Lei Zhuzhu beside him and spoke. "The Ancestral Hall?"

Lei Zhuzhu was stunned upon hearing this, and a look of difficulty appeared on her pretty face.

The Ancestral Hall was a restricted area for every clan; usually, even clan members could not enter at will, let alone an outsider.

And since Gu Fei asked this, he meant to go to the Ancestral Hall. Lei Zhuzhu did not know the true purpose of Gu Fei's trip and thought he was just here for a simple visit.

For a moment, she felt somewhat troubled. "What, is this very difficult?"

Seeing Lei Zhuzhu's difficulty, Gu Fei smiled slightly. "It is not difficult. Young Master Gu Fei is an honored guest, so we naturally welcome you!"

Lei Zhuzhu hesitated for a moment, but soon made up her mind.

After saying that, Lei Zhuzhu took Gu Fei and flew toward the direction of the Lei Clan's Ancestral Hall.

As the distance closed, a towering black cliff gradually appeared before the two. The cliff was deep black throughout, and its surface was covered with silver patterns, like a giant lightning web.

The top of the cliff was shrouded in clouds and mist, and from time to time, thick lightning bolts struck down from the clouds, hitting the mountain and emitting a deafening roar.

"This is the location of our clan's Ancestral Hall."

Lei Zhuzhu pointed to the black cliff in front of her and said, her tone carrying a bit of pride.

Gu Fei looked up and could not help but be shocked by the scene before him.

This cliff towered into the clouds, as if it could lead directly to the sky.

The entire cliff exuded a heart-palpitating pressure, as if it were telling of its extraordinary nature.

The two rose into the air and flew toward the top of the cliff.

As the altitude climbed, the surrounding lightning power became increasingly dense. Gu Fei could feel a suffocating energy fluctuation permeating the air.

If an ordinary person came here, they would likely be torn to pieces by this terrifying lightning power in an instant.

Just as the two were about to reach the top of the cliff, a group of Lei Clan guards suddenly appeared and blocked their path. "Stop! This place is our clan's forbidden ground; no idlers are allowed to enter!"

The leading guard shouted sternly, his eyes staring at Gu Fei with vigilance.

"Several Elders, this is Young Master Gu Fei of the Ancient Clan, an honored guest specially invited by our Clan Leader."

Lei Zhuzhu hurriedly stepped forward to explain. However, those guards remained completely unmoved.

"Outsiders, no matter who they are, cannot enter the Ancestral Hall without the Clan Leader's personal permission."

The leading guard said coldly. *Sigh. This guy Lei Dong is not reliable at all. *

The person sent to accompany him has no authority at all; it's very troublesome. Lei Zhuzhu was suddenly caught in a dilemma upon hearing this. "It is fine, I shall wait here. Miss Lei, why not go and ask Lei Dong for instructions?"

Seeing this, Gu Fei smiled slightly. Lei Zhuzhu nodded and left quickly.

Gu Fei found a giant rock and sat down. 【Ding, the surrounding guards have developed feelings of vigilance, Emotion Value +2】

The system's prompt sounded in Gu Fei's mind, but he did not pay it any heed.

This level of vigilance was normal; on the contrary, if those guards were not on guard at all against an outsider, that would be the real problem.

Time passed second by second. About half an hour later, Lei Zhuzhu finally returned with Lei Dong.

"Young Master Gu Fei is an honored guest invited by the Clan Leader, please let him in."

Lei Dong said. Upon hearing this, the guards finally cleared the way.

【Ding, Lei Chang has developed feelings of guilt, Emotion Value +3】

Gu Fei followed the sound and looked over, only to see a thin, small old man standing at the very back of the group of guards.

The old man had gray hair and a withered face, looking as if he were over seventy. However, it was such an inconspicuous old man who had triggered the system's reaction.

A flash of light appeared in Gu Fei's eyes, and a cold sneer curled the corner of his mouth. "No need to go in."

"Lei Dong! I have already found the person!!"

Gu Fei turned to look at Lei Dong and said indifferently. As he spoke, Gu Fei pointed at the old man named Lei Chang.

"Elder Lei Chang?"

Lei Dong was stunned upon hearing this. However, Lei Dong quickly calmed down.

Remembering the instructions of Clan Leader Lei Ying, he decided to trust Gu Fei a little more.

"Elder Lei Chang, you must be a spy sent by the Soul Clan!"

Lei Dong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lei Chang with incredulous eyes. "Impossible!"

Lei Zhuzhu exclaimed, her pretty face filled with shock. "How could my grandfather be a spy? You must not slander a good person!"

Lei Zhuzhu stepped forward quickly, blocking in front of Lei Chang. Hmm? Gu Fei frowned.

So this Lei Chang was actually Lei Zhuzhu's grandfather?

No wonder Lei Zhuzhu's reaction was so intense. However, things had reached this point, and the system would not lie.

The real grandfather of Lei Zhuzhu was likely already... Thinking of this, Gu Fei shook his head helplessly.

"Lei Chang, what are you feeling guilty about?"

Gu Fei stared at Lei Chang and said indifferently, "This old man does not know what Young Master Gu Fei is talking about. This old man has served the Lei Clan devotedly for hundreds of years; how could I be a Soul Clan spy?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Chang's body trembled slightly as he spoke.

Sigh! Why is it this scene again... It really is troublesome enough. Gu Fei shook his head helplessly. (End of this chapter)
