114: Gu Yao: Xun'er, I understand that Brother Gu Fei

Under Xun'er's resentful gaze, Gu Fei officially became the seventh commander of the Black Annihilation Army, under the fervent gazes of many clansmen.

Although the second-ranked Gu Qingyang also successfully became the eighth commander, he seemed insignificant standing beside Gu Fei at this moment.

Gu Qingyang could only give a helpless smile in response.

"It's quite grand, but these clothes aren't as good-looking as the ones Xiao Yi Xian Sister picked for you."

After the appointment ceremony, Gu Fei returned to Xiao Yi Xian and the others.

Zi Yan immediately bounced out, scrutinizing the Black Annihilation Army uniform in Gu Fei's hand.

"Of course, Xiao Yi Xian's taste is unparalleled in the world; otherwise, how could she be with me?"

Gu Fei's self-praise included Xiao Yi Xian, causing Xiao Yi Xian to giggle continuously, her small face flushing a little.

"What are your plans next?" Xiao Yi Xian asked with concern.

"After becoming a Black Annihilation Army commander, I need to stay with the Black Annihilation Army to train soldiers. You all can rest at my residence. With Venerable Skyfire watching over you, no one should disturb you."

Gu Fei cast a glance at Venerable Skyfire, who understood and nodded in agreement.

So, Xiao Yi Xian and the others followed Venerable Skyfire back to the Bamboo House and continued to Cultivate, while Gu Fei followed Gu Zhan to the Black Annihilation Army training ground, where he began to train soldiers.

Most of the hot-blooded men of the Gu Clan in the Black Annihilation Army yearned for strength and talent, both of which Gu Fei possessed. Many in the Black Annihilation Army greatly admired Gu Fei.

Therefore, even though Gu Fei was new, no one in the Black Annihilation Army disobeyed his command, and everything went very smoothly.

Gu Fei was already a Genius of the Gu Clan, and now, having successfully become a Black Annihilation Army commander, his prestige within the clan grew daily. Old Man Gu Lie hadn't stopped smiling for days.

"Brother Gu Qingyang, my task is complete, I'm leaving!"

One day, after Gu Fei finished his task, he greeted Gu Qingyang and prepared to leave.

But just as he reached outside the training ground, a gentle yet somewhat annoying voice sounded: "Brother Xiao Yan, you must have been working very hard training soldiers every day during this period..."

Gu Fei frowned, looked up, and saw it was Xun'er.

Today, Xun'er was clearly much more polite than usual, even taking the initiative to come to the training ground to show concern for Gu Fei in a gentle tone.

"As a commander, these are all my duties."

Gu Fei didn't want to get too entangled with Xun'er, so he replied indifferently, not changing his attitude even though Xun'er's tone had sweetened.

Xun'er's tender gaze slightly stiffened upon hearing Gu Fei's cold words, but she still feigned enthusiasm. However, before she could speak, Gu Fei spoke first.

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Gu Fei said flatly, ignoring Xun'er and leaving directly.

Xun'er stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at Gu Fei's departing back. The words she wanted to say hadn't even left her mouth... A feeling of grievance gradually emerged; when had she ever received such cold treatment... "Xun'er, you came to the training ground too..."

Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao happened to be coming out of the training ground. Gu Yao saw Xun'er standing motionless and happily greeted her.

"What does that have to do with you?" Xun'er said coldly, redirecting her anger from Gu Fei's cold shoulder onto Gu Yao.

"Xun'er, Gu Yao didn't provoke you... Besides, you should understand his feelings for you!" Gu Qingyang frowned, feeling that since Gu Fei no longer wanted his sister, Xun'er choosing Gu Yao was also a good option.

"What feelings? Last time, he himself said he could defeat Gu Fei, and what was the result?"

"He was defeated miserably! What big talk can someone without strength say?!" Xun'er said angrily, not giving Gu Yao a good look at all.

"Xun'er, Brother Gu Fei is indeed not someone I can compare to!"

"His strength is far superior to mine!" Gu Yao said very seriously; he was genuinely convinced after his defeat by Gu Fei.

"Hmph, do you think that if the other half I'm looking for is inferior to Gu Fei, a good-for-nothing, what face would I have to continue staying in the clan later?"

"Do you want to see me ridiculed in the clan later?" Xun'er shouted loudly, her attitude resolute and cold.

Gu Yao felt a pang of discomfort in his heart from her words.

He looked at the beautiful Xun'er before him, his body trembling.

"Was I wrong all along?"

"Xun'er actually thinks this way..."

"All this time, has it just been my unrequited love and... wishful thinking?"

At this moment, Gu Yao suddenly felt that the person he had liked for so many years seemed to be the wrong one.

"To find someone even more outstanding than Brother Gu Fei, that's probably impossible!"

"At least, that good-for-nothing from the Xiao Family certainly can't do it!" Gu Yao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his tone became cutting.

"You, what did you say?"

Xun'er hadn't expected Gu Yao to dare insult Brother Xiao Yan in front of her. This was her reverse scale, how could Gu Yao, who had always been obedient to her, dare to do this!

Coupled with the fact that Gu Yao had previously sent people to assassinate her Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er's face was now filled with anger as she looked at Gu Yao.

If it weren't for her insufficient strength, she would have wanted to attack Gu Yao!

"Everything I said is true!"

"You betrayed Brother Gu Fei's good intentions for a good-for-nothing from the Xiao Clan..."

"Before, I always didn't understand Brother Gu Fei's decision, and even thought he was wrong, but now I know how wise his decision truly was."

Gu Yao finished speaking and turned his head away, no longer looking at Xun'er.

To be treated this way by the fervent suitor who had always been by her side, her already low mood plunged into an even deeper abyss.

"I..."

Xun'er's words caught in her throat. She turned around, leaving a lonely figure, and left feeling wronged... After leaving the training ground, Gu Fei returned to the Bamboo House, where Zi Yan was playing with Qing Lin.

"You're finally back! I've been waiting here so long I'm practically moldy... You've also returned at just the right time; Xiao Yi Xian Sister just finished her Cultivation."

No sooner had Zi Yan's voice fallen than Xiao Yi Xian pushed open her door and walked out.

Heaven and earth energy still swirled around Xiao Yi Xian's delicate body, which had just finished Cultivating, and her Dou Qi was abundant, indicating a significant improvement in her strength.

The Calamity Poison Body, when properly utilized, was indeed a cheat code for leveling up.

"No one came to bother you all while I was gone, did they?" Gu Fei asked, embracing Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head, then asked, "Are you used to being in the Black Annihilation Army?"

"While the Black Annihilation Army's management is strict, it's generally a restraint on ordinary soldiers. Commanders have much more freedom relatively."

"That's good," Xiao Yi Xian said softly.

"You went to the Black Annihilation Army and made Xiao Yi Xian Sister worried, afraid you'd suffer hardships there, while I'm here not eating enough and not sleeping well, and Sister doesn't even dote on me..."

Zi Yan poked out her small head, looking at Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian with a hint of resentment.

"Alright, alright, I've returned this time to refine some Eighth Grade Pills, and I'll make some Medicinal Pills for you too."

Upon hearing that she would soon have many Medicinal Pills to eat, Zi Yan immediately became overjoyed.

Afterward, Gu Fei gave some instructions and then prepared to start Alchemy.

And this time, he was going to refine a high-quality Eighth Grade Pill!

When the Medicinal Pill was formed, five-colored pill lightning suddenly descended from the sky above the mountain where Gu Fei was!

"This is, five-colored pill lightning? The pill lightning unique to an Eighth Grade Pill?"

"From the looks of it, it seems to be the mountain where Lord Seventh Commander is!"

"A little over a year ago, wasn't the Seventh Commander only a seventh-grade Alchemist? How did he climb from seventh-grade to eighth-grade Alchemist in less than two years?"

The news that Gu Fei could refine Eighth Grade Pills once again caused a sensation.

An eighteen-year-old eighth-grade Alchemist, and one capable of refining six-colored pill lightning, was considered a Genius even within the Medicine Clan, renowned for its Alchemy talent.
