108: Zi Yan: You are the ex-wife, so you are divorced.
Beside them, the somewhat boisterous Zi Yan saw that Xiao Yi Xian was very unhappy because of Xun'er's words, and she shouted, "Who are you? So what if it's something private? Xiao Yi Xian Sister and Gu Fei Big Brother will be a couple sooner or later, what's so private that can't be seen..."
"Hearing you call him Gu Fei Big Brother one after another, you must be an admirer of Gu Fei Big Brother, right? Then I'll tell you clearly, Gu Fei Big Brother already has someone in his heart, you should leave."
"Oh, right, take your stinky secret with you too, Gu Fei Big Brother won't care to look at it..."
Zi Yan didn't care that this was someone else's territory; even if it was someone from the Gu Clan in front of her, as long as she found them displeasing, she would retort without hesitation.
Qing Lin cast an admiring gaze at Zi Yan; Zi Yan was about the same age as her, but her mouth was much more formidable than her own.
Xiao Yi Xian, who had originally been flustered by Xun'er's words, also smiled slightly because of Zi Yan's words. This girl not only could lighten the mood but also brought positive energy to those around her.
Xiao Yi Xian's excitement, however, seemed like a joke in Xun'er's eyes. She smiled coldly again and lightly uttered a sentence.
"So what if we're together? Gu Fei and I are husband and wife who have bowed to heaven and earth!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's smile faded again, and her mood, which had just lightened a bit, once again sank to rock bottom.
"Some people think they're amazing just because they've received some favor, not realizing that before you, Gu Fei Big Brother gave me countless good things. Any one of them, if brought out, would make your jaws drop."
Xun'er looked at Xiao Yi Xian with her head held high and chest puffed out. All she wanted was to embarrass Gu Fei's woman!
Zi Yan and Qing Lin were equally surprised, but Zi Yan immediately sensed that something was amiss.
"Since you are Gu Fei Big Brother's wife, why has Gu Fei Big Brother never mentioned you?" Zi Yan asked.
"Gu Fei Big Brother and I held our wedding ceremony; everyone in the Ancient World knows about it. You can all go and ask."
Seeing Xun'er's confident demeanor, it didn't seem like she was lying. Even Zi Yan lost her confidence and stopped refuting, instead looking at Xiao Yi Xian beside her.
Xiao Yi Xian's Face was pale, her lips trembling uncontrollably as she murmured, "They are husband and wife, then what am I? A mistress?"
"In terms of understanding him, what I know is far more than what you know!"
"Gu Fei Big Brother and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and after getting married, we lived together for a long time. I know all his hobbies and temperament clearly; it's not an exaggeration to say we are connected heart to heart."
Xun'er continued.
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's pained expression at this moment, Xun'er seemed very pleased, her heart filled with great satisfaction.
"I remember now, I overheard people discussing on the way that Gu Fei Big Brother had a former wife. At first, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Qing Lin suddenly interjected.
"Former wife, then she was divorced by Gu Fei Big Brother, right!"
Zi Yan instinctively responded.
"Nonsense!"
"How dare he divorce me? We clearly separated amicably!"
As soon as Xun'er heard this piece of history being dug up by Qing Lin, she quickly retorted and tried to argue.
Zi Yan, however, seemed to have grasped a divine Sharp Weapon, bursting into laughter and pointing at Xun'er, saying, "No wonder Gu Fei Big Brother never mentioned you. It turns out he divorced you a long time ago. You've been divorced, and you still dare to come here and act wild?"
"I'll say it again, it was an amicable separation!"
Xun'er's delicate brows furrowed slightly; she was gritting her teeth with hatred for Zi Yan. This little girl looked harmless, but her tongue was extremely venomous.
"What's the difference? Anyway, Gu Fei Big Brother doesn't want you anymore!"
Zi Yan spread her hands, her Face full of disdain.
"You little girl, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't let you off lightly!" Xun'er was completely enraged.
"Hmph, want to fight? Who's afraid of whom?"
Zi Yan wasn't afraid either, clenching her small fists, looking eager to try.
Xun'er could no longer bear it. She had just advanced to Dou Huang and wanted to test her skills. With her Dou Qi condensed, she punched towards Zi Yan.
But with that punch, Xun'er was shocked by Zi Yan's immense strength. Her punch was blocked by Zi Yan, and her arm ached.
Both of them were low-level Dou Huangs. Venerable Skyfire knew that Zi Yan could handle Xun'er, so he didn't intervene. Furthermore, this was the Gu Clan's territory, and he couldn't easily make a move.
It was just right for Zi Yan to act.
"How can her strength be so great?"
Feeling the aching in her arm, Xun'er was very surprised.
Having been retorted to, Xun'er wanted to teach Zi Yan a lesson but found that Zi Yan's strength was not inferior to her own. Xun'er's Face turned grim.
Moreover, Zi Yan looked like a little girl, so Xun'er couldn't really argue too much with her.
They were, after all, guests brought by Gu Fei. She could choose not to give Gu Fei Face, but she couldn't lose the Gu Clan's Dao of hospitality.
"Hmph, a word of advice: it's not that easy to become Gu Fei's wife!"
"In order to maintain the strength of the Bloodline, the elders of the clan will never allow him to marry an ordinary person like you..."
Xun'er knew that continuing to argue wouldn't benefit her, so she left after dropping these two sentences.
After Xun'er left, Xiao Yi Xian's expression was complex. She hadn't expected to meet Gu Fei's former wife before even meeting his elders.
This former wife's attitude towards her was aggressive, to say the least. If not for Zi Yan and Qing Lin, she would have been even more embarrassed today.
"Xiao Yi Xian Sister, don't think too much for now. Let's wait until Gu Fei Big Brother returns!"
Qing Lin comforted her.
"Exactly, exactly. I don't know what's so great about a former wife. If I were divorced by a man, I'd just bury myself in the dirt."
Zi Yan's words followed closely after Qing Lin's. She spoke very loudly, so much so that even people far away could hear her...
"With Venerable Skyfire protecting them, they should be fine."
Gu Fei swiftly moved through the Ancient World, not worried about Xiao Yi Xian and the others, but rather about how he would Face the elders of his clan.
He knew the Gu Clan's family rules and ancestral teachings best. If he wanted to be with Xiao Yi Xian, he would first have to pass their test.
After passing through several mountain peaks, a magnificent hall appeared before Gu Fei.
Gu Fei entered the hall, where his grandfather, Gu Lie, was seated in the main seat.
Not only Gu Lie was present, but many Seniors of the clan were also sitting upright, their serious demeanor letting Gu Fei know that today was not simple.
"Grandson greets Grandfather, and all Seniors."
Gu Fei bowed to everyone present according to etiquette.
The elders also asked Gu Fei about his well-being, showing great concern.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, with a cough from Gu Lie, the hall fell silent.
"Child, have you truly thought it through, to marry the girl you brought back?"
Gu Lie began today's main topic.
"Yes!"
Gu Fei didn't hesitate.
"Xiao Yi Xian and I are connected heart to heart. I have determined that she is the one who can accompany your grandson for the rest of his life."
Gu Fei looked at Gu Lie, his gaze firm and unwavering. This look made Gu Lie's brow furrow slightly.
As his most beloved grandson, Gu Lie knew Gu Fei's temperament inside and out. He had truly made up his mind.
"Child, there's no need to be so decisive. Your future achievements are immeasurable, and life is long. Why make such a decision so early?"
A Gu Clan Senior advised Gu Fei.
Gu Fei directly shook his head, refusing with a firm attitude: "Since it will no longer change, it's better to make a decision early."
"According to our clan's rules, your wife must be someone with a powerful Bloodline. This way, the descendants you produce will not have weak Bloodlines," Gu Lie said with a frown.
