Chapter 54: Jia Xingtian's Suspicion! Uninvited Guests!

In the great hall, Jia Xingtian and Yaoye fell into a brief silence.

After pondering for a moment, Yaoye guessed, "Grandfather, could it be that some great treasure has appeared at the Eastern Border?"

"Very likely!"

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian nodded.

The few people who went to the Eastern Border this time are no ordinary characters; how could they appear at the Eastern Border all at the same time by coincidence?

The Yunlan Sect Sect Master is one thing, as that woman often travels for experience, but why would Pill King Gu He suddenly come to the Eastern Border?

An Alchemist like him is usually heavily protected in an extremely safe place.

Furthermore, in the news sent back from the border, those mysterious youths and maidens traveling on Sixth Rank flying Magical Beasts...

For a group like this, I fear only the appearance of some fine treasure would cause them to be there.

Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through his murky pupils, and said, "It seems it is time for these old bones of mine to move as well!"

Therefore, Jia Xingtian still decided to go and see for himself; it is better to be prepared.

They are powerful and cruel; it was only by gathering the strength of several empires that the Jia Ma Empire managed to drive out the Snake-People Tribe.

From this, it can be seen that the overall strength of the Snake-People Tribe is far from something a single Jia Ma Empire can contend with.

These top-tier experts are naturally there to protect Tian Ye's safety.

Beyond the border, in the Tagor Desert, the Snake-People Tribe lies in wait.

On the back of this flying beast, there is not only Jia Xingtian, this Dou Huang expert, but also one Dou Wang and seven or eight Dou Ling guards.

Hearing this, Yaoye hurriedly requested.

This matter, I fear, also has a connection to the Snake-People Tribe that occupies the Tagor Desert.

When there was movement within the Imperial Palace, other great families in the Imperial Capital also received some news and paid close attention.

The Eastern Border... is a very sensitive place indeed.

Jia Xingtian picked and chose, finally selecting a few people to take with him on the road to the Eastern Border.

After all, once at the Eastern Border, there would certainly be times when Jia Xingtian needed to act alone.

"Grandfather, this matter is of great importance, and Ye'er also wishes to go along!"

"Very well, this might count as a good experience! It will be of great benefit to both your strength and your knowledge."

And without the personal protection of a Dou Huang, the safety of Tian Ye, the future successor of the royal family, must be guaranteed.

Soon, a massive flying beast flew out from the Jia Ma Imperial Palace.

Jia Xingtian is clear on the foundation of the Snake-People Tribe; back then, the Jia Ma Empire joined forces with several surrounding empires and only barely managed to drive the snakes into the depths of the desert, unable to completely eradicate them.

After all, he is already old, and he hopes that Tian Ye can gain more experience, possess greater strength, have more knowledge, and be prepared to rule the entire vast empire.

Jia Xingtian raised an eyebrow, but he did not refuse.

As the person in power of the royal family, Jia Xingtian absolutely does not allow uncontrollable things to happen in his own kingdom.

"Is the news true? How could a group of teenagers possess a Sixth Rank Magical Beast as a mount?"

"My father once encountered a Sixth Rank Magical Beast; just by meeting its gaze, the terrifying pressure was enough to make anyone below the strength of a Dou Huang unable to stand straight."

"Why did the Yunlan Sect Sect Master and Pill King Gu He appear? Could it be... that a treasure has truly appeared at the Eastern Border?"

Many great families are discussing this matter in secret; after all, it happened at the Eastern Border, which is a very sensitive place.

The Eastern Border of the Jia Ma Empire, at the border with the Tagor Desert.

Gu Fei put the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, which had not yet woken up, back into his sleeve, and then walked out of the cave.

The sensation of Queen Medusa's soft, smooth skin seemed to linger on his fingertips, and those fiery curves, along with her beautiful eyes flashing with anger and her blushing cheeks, kept reappearing in Gu Fei's mind.

Because of the amorous things that had just happened between him and Queen Medusa.

Even though Gu Fei had actually done nothing, his face was still somewhat red at this moment.

In his mind, the seductive image of Queen Medusa's naked body appeared from time to time; this was something he could not control.

"Big Brother Gu Fei, what is wrong with you?"

Seeing Gu Fei's strangeness, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, who were waiting outside the cave, asked with concern.

【Xiao Yixian feels concern, Emotion Value +100】

【Qing Lin feels concern, Emotion Value +70】

"It's nothing, perhaps it is because refining the Exotic Fire this time consumed too much energy!"

If this were said about someone else, it would indeed be a fact; refining an Exotic Fire is a matter of nine deaths and one life.

If one is not careful, they will be backlashed by the Exotic Fire and directly turned to ashes.

A monster like Gu Fei, who easily refined the Green Lotus Core Flame, is an exception.

Gu Fei smiled and brushed it off, not mentioning what had just happened.

Xiao Yixian naturally sensed that he was hiding something, but she chose not to ask; if Gu Fei wanted to say it, he would naturally tell her.

"Then you must pay attention to rest!"

Xiao Yixian said with worry.

【Xiao Yixian feels worry, Emotion Value +100】

Her undisguised concern made Gu Fei's heart warm.

He patted Xiao Yixian's head and replied softly, and only then did Xiao Yixian break into a faint smile.

Afterward, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin went together to start a fire and cook.

The life of the three people and one beast seemed very peaceful, happy, and free.

This kind of life was something Qing Lin had not dared to imagine before; at this moment, she stared silently at Gu Fei's back, feeling very fortunate for the decision she had made back then.

【Qing Lin experiences a feeling of satisfaction, Emotion Value +70】

Gu Fei heard the system's notification sound, his figure paused for a moment, then he continued to ponder where to go next.

After taking away the Green Lotus Core Flame, Gu Fei actually already had the intention to leave the Jia Ma Empire.

Although there were indeed still some people with relatively high destiny in this Jia Ma Empire, Gu Fei already had Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin by his side, and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could barely count as half a person.

He did not have a strong desire to seek out those people with high destiny for the time being.

Along the way, the three's journey was not fast; the Lion King would stop after flying for a few hours.

Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were chatting, the two young girls' eyes both sparkling.

Gu Fei watched them quietly from the side, a smile appearing on his face unconsciously.

"Correct, guide the Dou Qi within your body, feel the heavy energy in the air..."

Sometimes, Gu Fei would patiently guide the ignorant Qing Lin in her cultivation.

And with the blessing of a terrifying constitution like the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils, Qing Lin could directly absorb the energy within the bodies of the snake-type creatures she controlled, so naturally, her progress was rapid.

One day later, they stopped to rest in a secluded place; Qing Lin was sitting cross-legged, her eyes tightly shut, practicing her breathing.

Gu Fei was originally observing her cultivation state, when suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly.

Because he sensed that not far away, an aura of a Dou Huang was approaching.
