Chapter 61: Sect Master Yun Yun, do you feel that you are getting old and fading?

Gu Fei refused again and again without mercy; even a person with the thickest skin would feel embarrassed at this moment.

Furthermore, Nalan Yanran was not naturally composed to begin with; she bit her lip, appearing very miserable under the gazes of the acquaintances around her.

Yet Gu Fei was her only lifeline at present; she dared not lose her temper in front of him, only looking at Gu Fei with aggrieved eyes.

Facing the sight of the beauty knitting her brows, her limpid autumn-water eyes seemingly about to shed tears, Gu Fei's expression remained unchanged as he chatted and laughed with the people beside him.

He did not even cast a single glance her way again; completely ignored and feeling miserable, Nalan Yanran could only wrinkle her small face and run out of the banquet hall in a dejected manner.

Yun Yun was still sitting quietly in the same spot, not even having changed her posture.

She gently swirled the crimson red wine in her transparent glass; reflected by such a color, those cold, elegant cheeks appeared even more rosy.

Nalan Yanran flew over like a butterfly, throwing herself straight into Yun Yun's embrace.

She raised her powdered face, her pretty face flushed with shame and annoyance, her eye rims slightly red, biting her lower lip tightly, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Master, no matter how much I lower my status, Young Master Gu Fei refuses to agree. What should I do?"

She murmured, her eyes full of desolation.

Seeing Nalan Yanran's state, Yun Yun felt very heartbroken.

She took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and made a decision.

Yun Yun intended to personally beg Gu Fei; it could be considered something a master ought to do for this disciple.

In the banquet, just as cups were being exchanged, battle fluctuations suddenly came from the sky over the Imperial Capital.

Gu Fei scanned his surroundings and discovered that Jia Xingtian had long since disappeared.

He pondered for a moment and understood; it was likely that Jia Xingtian had discovered that Hai Bodong was actually still alive and could not help but engage him in battle.

In the pitch-black night sky, several rays of light streaked past like meteors.

Everyone could not help but be attracted by the massive battle in the distance and went to watch.

That place seemed to be at the Imperial Mausoleum of the Imperial Capital, which was usually extremely remote.

Unexpectedly, two Dou Huang powerhouses would suddenly appear there tonight.

One could see two large balls of light in the sky, one white and one yellow, and those two terrifying auras were emanating from these two balls of light.

The balls of light flashed and soared nimbly; in the center of the balls of light, two figures were faintly discernible.

Every time the balls of light made contact, a fierce ripple of energy would erupt.

The pitch-black night sky in the area above the mausoleum was almost completely dispelled, the brightness resembling broad daylight.

The white ball of light carried an incomparable icy aura; whenever the energy fluctuated, the moisture in the air around the white ball of light would condense into hard ice.

Unlike the white ball of light, the yellow ball of light faintly possessed a sense of thickness and stability like the earth.

"Haha, Old Man Ice, I didn't expect that after decades of not seeing each other, your strength has regressed instead of advancing. Back then, even I had to be three parts wary of your ice offensive, but now its power is greatly reduced."

After another fierce collision, a burst of old, hearty laughter came from the yellow ball of light.

"Hmph, you old monster, haven't you also not made much progress all these years? Counting your age, it seems you are also about to reach your limit. If you don't break through again, I'm afraid your end is coming. When that time comes, without your protection, the Jia Ma Imperial Family won't be so comfortable!" the figure in the white ball of light snorted coldly and said.

"This... could it be the Ice Emperor?"

As one person mentioned this name that had once been prominent in the Jia Ma Empire, everyone's expressions changed.

Unexpectedly, the Ice Emperor, who had disappeared for so long, was not dead and could actually trade blows with Old Jia.

This battle was fought to their hearts' content by the two; Gu Fei naturally had no mood to watch them fight. Seeing that the people at the banquet had mostly dispersed, he took Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin back to the Imperial Palace.

He had long noticed Xiao Yixian's depressed state, so it was just right to leave early. During this time, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin had experienced the life of wealthy nobles they had never experienced before, and both were very happy.

After Gu Fei sent them back to their rooms, he said goodnight and then left.

By the time Gu Fei returned alone to the room arranged for him by Jia Xingtian, a beautiful figure appeared outside his room.

"Come in!"

Relying on his soul perception, the entire Imperial Palace was under his view.

Gu Fei had long discovered someone following him and knew that the person following was Yun Yun; he waved his hand, and the room door opened automatically.

"Gu Fei, we meet again. I didn't expect you to come to the Imperial Capital!"

Yun Yun stood at the doorway, still wearing that cool evening gown, which set her off as noble and touching.

At this moment, she raised her eyes to look at Gu Fei, greeting him with a complex expression.

"Didn't you see me at the banquet just now? Why, when meeting an old friend, don't you come over to say hello? Could it be that the fact we know each other is something shameful?"

Gazing at Yun Yun, Gu Fei could not help but tease.

He had received a system notification earlier, and after sensing slightly, he had detected Yun Yun's aura outside the banquet hall.

It was just that this woman was always drinking alone outside and was unwilling to come in and greet him.

【Yun Yun feels flustered, Emotion Value +100】

"No, I just thought that was a banquet occasion for young people!"

Yun Yun's cheeks flushed with a faint red, and she explained in a flustered manner; she had not expected that Gu Fei had discovered her long ago.

"What, Sect Master Yun Yun, do you feel that you are getting old and fading?"

Gu Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile on his lips, continuing to joke.

"Gu Fei, do you really think so?"

【Yun Yun feels disappointed, Emotion Value +100】

Hearing this, Yun Yun's expression dimmed, and a trace of desolation flashed across her originally gentle eyes.

She clearly cared very much about Gu Fei's opinion of her.

"Haha, just a joke!"

Seeing that Yun Yun took it seriously, Gu Fei hurriedly explained with a smile: "How could those immature girls compare to you? Your beauty and temperament, in my eyes, are like a celestial being descending to the moon."

The fact was indeed so; in terms of knowledge and experience, Yun Yun far surpassed those immature girls. As soon as she appeared, the maturity and excellence she naturally exuded could attract everyone's attention.

【Yun Yun experiences feelings of awkwardness and shyness, Emotion Value +100】

After saying this, Gu Fei continued: "You came here because of Nalan Yanran's matter, right?"

Because of the previous joke, added to Gu Fei's praise just now, Yun Yun gave Gu Fei a resentful look, then bit her red lips lightly and said hesitantly: "Gu Fei, please help Yanran!"

"I know you have already helped me a great deal, and my request now is somewhat excessive, but if Yanran's grandfather really dies, she will be very sad..."

She could be considered as having watched Yanran grow up, so naturally, she wanted what was best for her; seeing Yanran so heartbroken, Yun Yun also felt some pity.

"Since you have stepped forward, I can agree to take action once!"

Gu Fei stared at Yun Yun for a long while, then finally nodded, agreeing to provide treatment.
