Chapter 42: Face so red, are you feeling unwell somewhere?

This time, without Xiao Yixian needing to bring it up again, Gu Fei did not let the Purple-Winged Lion King fly directly into the city as he had last time, which would have caused a panic.

Instead, he stopped a few miles outside the city, let the Lion King wait somewhere outside, and he and Xiao Yixian entered the city in a low-profile manner.

Upon entering Shi Mocheng, Gu Fei still took Xiao Yixian to a restaurant first.

Deep in the desert, yellow sand filled the sky; one would choke on quite a bit of yellow sand even just by taking a breath.

Although most cities had an Array to filter the air, it was not enough.

Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian had flown all the way from high altitude, so their situation was better than on the ground.

After all, they still had the protection of a protective barrier.

Gu Fei shook his head, picked up the few pieces of clothing Xiao Yixian had chosen, and went to pay the bill.

The next day, Gu Fei planned to go find Qing Lin.

Gu Fei followed behind her, a smile on his lips, watching the vibrant girl in front of him.

Yet he saw the corners of her mouth turn up as if she were snickering, while her face was flushed red.

"Your face is so red, are you feeling unwell?"

"Xiao Yixian, once I find the person, I will take you along. You stay in the room, don't go anywhere, and absolutely do not run around, understand?" Gu Fei instructed.

Gu Fei watched, and his gaze could not help but daze for a moment.

Xiao Yixian seemed to have been given a huge fright by him; she sprang away, her earlobes turning red, and her eyes darting around everywhere.

Plus, since she could also provide him with Emotion Value, he planned to go find Qing Lin sooner.

"Brother Gu Fei seems to care about me a lot!"

Her true personality was probably just like this: loving to laugh and play. The gentle Xiao Yixian in Qingshan Town was merely a perfect mask she used to hide herself.

Usually, Xiao Yixian looked very steady, but she was a young girl after all; she couldn't take her eyes off pretty clothes when she encountered them.

Gu Fei did not expect that a casual remark of his would cause such a big reaction from her.

"Xiao Yixian, yesterday in this city, I sensed an extremely powerful constitution and was moved by the idea of taking on a disciple."

And with Gu Fei's strength, almost no one in the entire city could detect his presence or aura; unless seen with the naked eye, it was impossible to discover his existence.

Xiao Yixian giggled, responded loudly, and then hurried off to bathe.

Ever since she came to the desert, her whole personality had become much more cheerful; she dared to make requests of him openly and would even crack jokes.

No, from the moment he invited her and Xiao Yixian agreed to leave Qingshan Town without hesitation, this girl was destined to be with him.

Gu Fei sat to the side waiting for her to pick out clothes, and hearing the system notification, he looked over with some confusion.

Of course he had to treat this girl a bit better.

Gu Fei chuckled and patted her fluffy head.

"No, I want to go now to see what kind of person the disciple you want to take on is!"

Gu Fei hurriedly cleared his throat and shook his head with a straight face.

"Brother Gu Fei, you are truly too handsome! When I was in Qingshan Town before, the sister at the shop next door told me that a man who is willing to spend money on a woman is a good man!"

However, the two of them had only walked from outside the city to inside, and their bodies were already covered in quite a bit of yellow sand kicked up by the strong wind.

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Yixian with stars in her eyes.

【Xiao Yixian experiences a feeling of excitement, Emotion Value +100】

Gu Fei did not have any dirt on him, but he also went to bathe.

If he went a day earlier, he could let her be freed from that situation sooner.

Gu Fei waved his hand and walked toward Xiao Yixian.

Soon, the two were clean after bathing, and Xiao Yixian changed into another long dress and walked out onto the street first.

"Coming!"

Gu Fei heard her finish speaking, helplessly rubbed his forehead, and led the silly girl who kept muttering to herself back to the restaurant.

【Xiao Yixian experiences a feeling of confusion, Emotion Value +100】

Xiao Yixian clutched a dress, was silent for a moment, stole a glance at Gu Fei, and her little face suddenly turned red in a strange way.

He coughed to cover it up and hurriedly changed the subject.

【Xiao Yixian experiences a feeling of infatuation, Emotion Value +100】

"Let's go find a place to bathe first, and I'll take you to buy clothes later."

Xiao Yixian looked at her white long dress, which had become a bit dirty, with tears in her eyes.

【Xiao Yixian experiences a feeling of panic and shyness, Emotion Value +100】

Xiao Yixian looked back and found Gu Fei standing there in a daze, so she hurriedly shouted at him.

The corners of Xiao Yixian's mouth curled up, her eyebrows arched, and her pale red lips bloomed into a smile.

After all, she always felt a bit dirty, so it was better to wash up.

These outfits were full of exotic flair; although they were not as form-fitting and bold as what Xiao Yixian had seen before, they still had quite a few cutouts.

Before, whenever Gu Fei had things to handle, he would always leave her to wait in place by herself.

Xiao Yixian accompanied him without a single complaint for thousands of miles, from Qingshan Town to Shi Mocheng.

"Really? Brother Gu Fei, you are not allowed to lie to me! Just walking here, I saw quite a few shops, and the clothes on display were all quite pretty!"

"Alright, alright, alright, later, all my money will be given to you to buy clothes."

【Xiao Yixian experiences a feeling of shyness, Emotion Value +100】

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

"Brother Gu Fei! Hurry up and keep up!"

There was nothing beneath his feet, yet he walked as if on flat ground, flying freely and easily across the entire sky.

Although Gu Fei did not claim to be a good person, the life Qing Lin had lived in the original story was truly not a decent one.

"Alright!"

"Fine, then let's go together!"

【Xiao Yixian feels suspicious, Emotion Value +100】

Gu Fei was a bit worried and asked before leaving.

Xiao Yixian's attention was drawn by his words, and her eyes lit up.

Just as Xiao Yixian's almond-shaped eyebrows arched in anger and she was about to lash out, Gu Fei hurriedly spoke first.

Her face was also stained with some yellow sand; Gu Fei looked down and chuckled, but the sharp-eared Xiao Yixian heard it, and she glared at him with her large eyes.

Qing Lin's situation had always been agonizing.

Gu Fei was actually very happy, as this showed that Xiao Yixian trusted him very much now.

Xiao Yixian had not expected her heart to suddenly start beating faster.

This trace of a smile was even more beautiful than the epiphyllum that bloomed briefly at midnight.

Next, Gu Fei nodded in agreement and took Xiao Yixian to fly directly over the city.

"Were you just chuckling?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixian looked puzzled and muttered to herself, "Brother Gu Fei is going to take on a disciple; doesn't that mean there will be one more person by our side in the future..."

【Xiao Yixian feels excited, Emotion Value +100】

Seeing Gu Fei's rare flustered appearance, Xiao Yixian's smile deepened.

Listening to the nervousness in Gu Fei's tone, Xiao Yixian was stunned for a moment.

In a corner of the city, there was a manor covering a fairly large area; this was the base of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group in Shi Mocheng.

Gu Fei remembered that the two young leaders of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group in Shi Mocheng were Xiao Yan's eldest brother, Xiao Ding, and his second brother, Xiao Li.
