118: Xun'er: What, the Yan tribe is coming to tell Gu Fei

"Another marriage alliance?"

Gu Nanhai and the others were slightly taken aback, their gazes falling on Huo Zhi, who sat silently at the last seat, vaguely understanding the Yan Clan's intention in coming.

"From his words, it seems he's here to propose marriage for Gu Fei..."

"This is strange. Historically, it's always the man's side that takes the initiative in proposing marriage. It's extremely rare for the woman's side, especially a major clan like the Yan Clan, to come knocking."

Gu Nanhai looked at the Yan Clan Elder and Huo Zhi in confusion. The Yan Clan's initiative in offering a beauty left them quite perplexed, and their thoughts inevitably drifted.

"Haha, this is a junior from my clan, Huo Zhi. She is nineteen years old and her cultivation has already reached an Eight-Star Dou Zong. She is quite a match for Gu Fei..."

Elder Huo Yao naturally noticed the confusion of Gu Nanhai and the others, but he didn't explain much, instead introducing the red-clothed woman.

The red-clothed woman was Huo Zhi. She wore a light red dress, her face concealed by a veil. But even so, the contours revealed through the veil were extremely captivating. In her bright eyes, even when facing many Gu Clan Elders, there was not the slightest ripple.

"Only nineteen years old, and her cultivation has already reached an Eight-Star Dou Zong!"

Gu Nanhai looked at the red-clothed woman in surprise, marveling at her Talent. In terms of Talent alone, among all the women of the Gu Clan, besides Xun'er, no one could compare to her.

Even in the Yan Clan, such a Genius should be among the top. For the Yan Clan to actively send this woman for a marriage alliance... what exactly is their scheme?

Gu Nanhai's questioning gaze held a few more hints of wariness, but he praised Huo Zhi profusely: "Such Talent, truly astonishing and brilliant. Your Yan Clan has successors!"

Elder Huo Yao smiled upon hearing this: "I trust everyone can see the sincerity of my Yan Clan, so please consider the matter of the marriage alliance seriously."

If the Yan Clan was truly sincere in forming a marriage alliance, Gu Fei marrying a Yan Clan Prodigy would bring endless benefits to both the Gu Clan and the Yan Clan.

The Yan Clan and the Gu Clan would be deeply bound.

With the combined strength of the two clans, if they united, the Hun Clan and the other few clans would all be steadily suppressed by them.

However, Gu Nanhai could not make this decision on his own, not because of the Xiao Yi Xian Gu Fei brought back—the current Xiao Yi Xian couldn't even attract their attention; they even felt that the Xiao Yi Xian was wasting Gu Fei's time.

What they cared about was Gu Fei's own wishes.

Given Gu Fei's special status within the clan, every decision concerning him required Gu Fei's personal approval.

"Gu Fei is the number one Prodigy of my Gu Clan, and the grandson of the Black Annihilation King. His marriage is not something we can decide..."

"How about this: everyone rests here for a few days, and after I discuss it with the other Elders in the clan, I will give a satisfactory reply..."

Elder Huo Yao saw that Gu Nanhai did not readily agree, but he had already anticipated this.

"Then we will await your good news!"

..."I heard people from the Yan Clan came to our Gu Clan. Many Saint-Grade Elders accompanied a red-haired woman. Although the red-haired woman wore a veil, you could tell at a glance that she was definitely a great beauty!"

"As far as I know, the Yan Clan's visit this time is for a marriage proposal..."

"A marriage proposal! If I could marry that great beauty, I would have no regrets in this life!"

"Alright, stop dreaming. She's here to propose marriage to Gu Fei."

Upon hearing that the woman already had a proposed suitor, the Gu Clan disciples immediately became dejected, like wild grass that had been stepped on.

As everyone was discussing this matter, Xun'er happened to pass by. She was very surprised after learning the purpose of the Yan Clan's delegation's arrival.

"Even the Yan Clan wants to fight over him?"

Xun'er bit her pearly teeth, her expression full of unwillingness.

It was clearly something she possessed but didn't value.

After she discarded it, that item suddenly became a treasure in everyone's eyes. That huge sense of disparity continuously impacted Xun'er's mind, breaking through her fragile defenses.

"No, I need to go and find out exactly what's going on!"

Just as Xun'er was about to leave, a fiery red light suddenly appeared before her eyes, followed by the appearance of a red-clothed woman, who was none other than Huo Zhi.

"Presumably, this is Young Miss Xun'er!" Huo Zhi said with a smile, while sizing up Xun'er.

Xun'er looked at Huo Zhi, her sixth sense filling her with hostility towards this unfamiliar woman.

"Hehe, I've long heard that Young Miss Xun'er's Talent is extraordinary. Seeing it today, the rumors are indeed true..."

Huo Zhi smiled. Sensing Xun'er's Qi, which was only a Five-Star Dou Huang, her words clearly carried a hint of mockery.

"You are?"

"Yan Clan, Huo Zhi!"

"You are Huo Zhi of the Yan Clan, who wishes to marry Gu Fei?"

Xun'er's eyes turned cold. The man she couldn't have, how could she let someone else easily obtain him?

"Gu Fei will not agree to marry you!"

"He already has someone in his heart and is currently living with his new lover in the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range... Your visit this time is just an invitation for humiliation."

Xun'er's words were incredibly malicious, not only humiliating Huo Zhi but also dragging the Xiao Yi Xian into the mud.

You want to marry Gu Fei?

Gu Fei already has a new lover now. I'd like to see what you'll do!

Go find the Xiao Yi Xian, humiliate her, and even better, make a big scene relying on the Yan Clan.

It's best to alarm the Gu Clan's higher-ups and make Gu Fei and the Xiao Yi Xian lose face!

Xun'er's thoughts were very pleasant, but Huo Zhi clearly didn't act as she had expected.

Upon learning that Gu Fei already had a new lover, Huo Zhi appeared very calm and unconcerned, then a faint voice sounded.

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree; after all, I'm not interested either..."

Huo Zhi had high aspirations; in her eyes, few men had ever caught her attention.

This visit to the Gu Clan to propose marriage was the will of the Clan Elder, not her own desire. She merely came along to see.

What kind of person was the so-called Gu Clan Genius, Gu Fei?

"It's you, though, who seems so eager when mentioning Gu Fei... I have heard some rumors about you..."

"Enough!" Xun'er roared, stopping Huo Zhi from continuing.

Huo Zhi looked at the furious Xun'er, a triumphant smile on her face.

"Young Miss Xun'er should handle her own affairs before thinking about others." Huo Zhi left with these words and turned to depart.

Xun'er stood angrily in place, her fists clenched tightly.

If she weren't no match for Huo Zhi, she would have definitely couldn't resist making a move just now... Gu Fei's mountain peak.

Zi Yan's figure flashed across the mountain, appearing very anxious. After landing in front of the Bamboo House, she immediately shouted into the main building: "Xiao Yi Xian sister, something bad has happened!"

"Zi Yan, what's wrong? Why are you so flustered!"

The Xiao Yi Xian came out of the main building and asked, seeing Zi Yan's anxious expression.

"Xiao Yi Xian sister, I was just strolling outside for a while and accidentally heard someone say that the Yan Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans, has sent a delegation this time! Their purpose in coming here is to arrange a marriage for Big Brother Gu Fei!"

"What?"

"Arrange a marriage for Big Brother Gu Fei?"

Upon hearing this, the Xiao Yi Xian's face immediately changed.
