Chapter 64: Soul Clan Powerhouse Appears!

"It is better that I do not interfere in matters between Miss Xun Er and Young Master Gu Fei!"

Listening to Xun Er's whisper, Ling Ying stood to the side, pondering for a moment, and ultimately did not respond.

Although in his heart he felt that Gu Fei likely did not have such intentions, and everything was just a coincidence.

Of course, Xun Er did not need Ling Ying's agreement; she gazed into the distance, pondering for a long while, her delicate brows slightly furrowed on her beautiful face.

A moment later, Xun Er sighed and said, "Regardless of whether Gu Fei obtained the Seven-Colored Illusionary Green Spirit Saliva intentionally or unintentionally, it is impossible for me to ask him for it."

She understood that even if she asked him personally, Gu Fei might not necessarily give it to her, so she would not go and ask for a snub.

It was just that, in this way, she might only be able to return to the clan and rely on the Ancient Clan's resources to obtain that kind of spiritual medicine capable of restoring soul power.

"Since he has already taken it, we can only go look elsewhere!"

On the mountain peak, the wind whistled, whipping up her long hair; the fluttering strands brushed against her heart, and Xun Er sighed softly in the wind before turning to leave.

The two of them were Elders dispatched by the Ancient Clan to protect Gu Fei and Xun Er respectively.

If he truly stepped inside, it was hard to say whether he could come out in one piece.

And not long after this Soul Clan powerhouse left, a white-robed old man suddenly appeared in the sky where he had originally lingered.

"This aura... it seems to be someone from the Ancient Clan. To think so many have appeared in this small place, the Jia Ma Empire... It seems I cannot act rashly this time, lest I alert the people of the Ancient Clan. I had best wait for another opportunity later!"

And when he arrived here, the figure of another old man also manifested.

Even with Gu Fei's current cultivation at the peak of the Dou Zong realm, he would likely not last a single round before this person.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth, a trace of malice flashing across his brow; he had no choice but to interrupt his plan, lingered in the sky for a moment, then pretended to be passing by and left directly.

At the same time.

The high-level members of the Ancient Clan knew that Gu Fei was determined to go out and train, so they did not stop him and hoped that Gu Fei could find his own opportunities.

The black shadow murmured in a low voice, his body covered by thick black mist.

In a certain patch of sky on the border of the Jia Ma Empire, in the cloudless firmament, a figure speeding along while shrouded in eerie black mist suddenly paused, then frowned.

"Are the people of the Soul Clan just passing through, or are they here specifically for this?"

The strength of the owner of that aura was something even he had to fear, not to mention that he had originally only intended to sneak into the Jia Ma Empire to complete his mission.

"It is someone from the Soul Clan!"

The aura on this old man was unfathomable, and a sharp light flashed through his murky eyes.

He did not even dare to cast another glance in the direction of the Jia Ma Empire.

That pair of pitch-black eyes shifted, and the aura on his body made one feel terrified.

Because this person was a true high-level member of the Soul Clan; he had come to the Jia Ma Empire this time for a mission within the clan.

As the two spoke, they both frowned.

Back then, when Gu Fei and Xun Er had quietly left one after another, the high-level members of the Ancient Clan had naturally discovered it.

But before stepping into the Jia Ma Empire, he had sensed a rather powerful aura.

After all, within the Ancient Realm, it was simply too stable.

Without pressure, where would the motivation come from?

However, as the most outstanding genius of the Ancient Clan, how could the high-level members of the Ancient Clan be careless when Gu Fei went out to train?

And this Elder's strength was truly terrifying; his methods of concealing his aura were a cut above Gu Fei's, so even Gu Fei had never noticed that he had followed him to the Jia Ma Empire.

"Ignore him. Young Master Gu Fei is about to leave this small empire now; as long as it is not detrimental to Young Master Gu Fei, it has nothing to do with me!"

A moment later, one of them shook his head, and his figure slowly dissipated on the spot.

In a great hall of the Jia Ma Imperial Palace.

"Master Gu Fei, just give me some pointers! I really admire you!"

A snow-white, jade-like slender hand grabbed Gu Fei's sleeve, speaking in a coquettish voice and refusing to let go.

This person was dressed in a purple dress embroidered with silver patterns.

Her exquisite features, nurtured within the royal family, faintly revealed an innate noble temperament.

She did not seem very old, and a faint smile always hung on her pretty face, appearing quite elegant and tranquil.

However, when she pestered Gu Fei to guide her in alchemy, this seemingly ladylike girl would have a strange, mischievous glint flash through her watery eyes.

Clearly, she was not someone who liked to be quiet, as she appeared on the surface.

"Taking you as a disciple is impossible, but I do have a Seven-Rank Alchemist Manual written by a Seventh-Grade Alchemist here..."

Regarding the pleas of this mischievous little girl, Gu Fei shook his head quite helplessly.

He reached out and took out a scroll.

"Is this really a Seven-Rank Alchemist Manual?"

The little princess curved her eyes at this moment, her gaze full of smiles.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu Fei!"

She smiled playfully, took the manual Gu Fei handed her, and turned to leave.

Her purple dress fluttered lightly, and she left with a tinkling laugh like a dancing butterfly.

"This little one!"

Gu Fei shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Afterwards, he straightened up and looked toward the distant sky, a flowing light faintly flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, he had already planned to leave the Jia Ma Empire; after all, there was nothing left here worth his attachment.

The only thing he longed for was to become stronger.

The destination for the next trip had already been decided by Gu Fei while he was in the Jia Ma Imperial Palace.

He intended to head to Jia Nan Academy to collect the Fallen Heart Flame.

As he was about to leave the Jia Ma Imperial Capital, the Imperial Capital was shaken once again.

Today, Yun Yun was uncharacteristically wearing a light-colored long dress, her brows and eyes soft, no longer as aloof as when they first met; her cold, clear eyes watched Gu Fei in silence.

She knew that she could not keep this eagle.

And the burden on her shoulders was too heavy; she could not lay everything down to follow him.

Therefore, all Yun Yun could do was cherish every encounter.

"Safe travels!"

The corners of Yun Yun's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile; Gu Fei stared at her steadily for a moment, then suddenly opened his arms.

"I'm leaving, won't you give me a hug?"

【Yun Yun experiences hesitation and surprise, Emotion Value +100】

Yun Yun was stunned, her mind going blank for a brief moment.

The tall, slender youth curled his lips and gently embraced the woman before him, gentlemanly holding only her shoulders loosely, and whispered in her ear: "You didn't object, so I'll take that as consent?"

【Yun Yun experiences shyness, Emotion Value +100】

Yun Yun was completely dazed; her expression did not change, but the increasingly rapid heartbeat and the flush rapidly spreading across her cheeks betrayed the lack of calm in her heart.

Gu Fei slowly released her and said: "In the future, we shall meet again if fate allows; perhaps when you have laid down the burden on your shoulders, you will have time to come find me..."

【Yun Yun experiences reluctance to part, Emotion Value +100】

Yun Yun was still somewhat absent-minded, while the others had already walked ahead of her to bid Gu Fei farewell one by one.

"Young Master Gu Fei, you are welcome to come to the Imperial Capital again when you have time!" Jia Xingtian laughed heartily.

Hai Bodong was not good with words; he simply nodded toward Gu Fei and said: "Until we meet again."

Nalan Jie stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young Master Gu Fei, if you have any needs in the future, just call on this old man for help!"

【Nalan Jie experiences gratitude, Emotion Value +30】

Listening to Nalan Jie's promise, Gu Fei inexplicably felt like laughing.

Nalan Yanran stood behind Nalan Jie, her gaze fixed on Gu Fei; the usually bright and lively girl now had an inexplicable reluctance in her eyes.

【Nalan Yanran experiences reluctance to part, Emotion Value +80】

To the side, Ya Fei waved her hand with a smile, though it was unknown what she was thinking.

"Everyone, we shall be taking our leave now!"

After bringing Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin onto the back of the Lion King, Gu Fei turned back and said.

"Safe travels!"

He no longer lingered, waved his hand, and ordered the Lion King to hurry toward the next journey.
