136: Gu Fei: She doesn't want to get married, no one can force her

Since Gu Fei had spoken, Jia Xingtian didn't say anything more.

While the Empires surrounding the Jia Ma Empire did have some powerful individuals, they weren't excessively strong.

With Gu Fei's unfathomable strength and the seventh-tier Demonic Beast by his side, he certainly had the confidence to speak those words.

After discussing the relocation of the Snake-People Tribe, the atmosphere of the banquet relaxed considerably.

Jia Xingtian upheld the etiquette of hospitality and didn't ask much, but Yao Ye couldn't hold back her curiosity.

She saw Queen Medusa leaning tightly against Gu Fei, and Gu Fei would occasionally touch Queen Medusa's belly, to which Queen Medusa would respond with a sweet smile.

That look was clearly love.

Could Queen Medusa and Gu Fei be together?

Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian found it a bit unbelievable.

The legendary cold-blooded, emotionless Queen Medusa actually fell in love with a Human Race member?

Jia Xingtian was surprised, but Yao Ye was jealous.

After learning of Gu Fei's return, she immediately went to meticulously dress up, wanting to re-establish her image in front of Gu Fei, and even... capture Gu Fei's heart.

But until now, Gu Fei hadn't even looked at her much.

"Young Master Gu Fei."

Yao Ye decided to initiate a conversation.

"I feel you've grown much stronger since we last met. Did you encounter some Opportunity?"

"No Opportunity, purely natural talent."

Gu Fei's blunt answer, which effectively ended the conversation, made Caier beside him chuckle and roll her eyes at him.

Yao Ye smiled awkwardly and then said, "Young Master Gu Fei is truly brilliant. I'm sure he will become the strongest in the world in the future."

"That is to..." Gu Fei said halfway, his peripheral vision once again catching Caier's eye roll, and he smiled without continuing to answer.

Yao Ye wasn't foolish. Gu Fei's attention was entirely on Queen Medusa now, and he clearly didn't want to talk to her.

Although she felt incredibly disappointed, she wouldn't make a fool of herself.

Just as Yao Ye quieted down, another, more lively person made her entrance.

"Master Gu Fei, how could you return without telling me!"

"I've been wanting to show you my Alchemy for a long time!"

The door opened, and a little girl bounced in.

"When did you get an apprentice?"

Caier asked.

Gu Fei gave a wry smile and said, "She insisted on calling me Master."

Yao Yue came before Gu Fei, her mischievous eyes filled with admiration.

With her arrival, the banquet instantly became much livelier.

Yao Yue kept talking to Gu Fei, but unfortunately, after only a few sentences, she was interrupted by Yao Ye.

A subordinate came to Yao Ye's side, and Yao Ye whispered a few words. Yao Ye frowned slightly, then looked at Gu Fei...

"Young Master Gu Fei, Nalan Yanran wishes to see you. She seems very urgent. I wonder if Young Master wants to see her?"

"She wants to see me, for what reason?"

Hearing this, Gu Fei frowned. He and Nalan Yanran didn't have much of a relationship to speak of; it was merely that he had helped her grandfather remove the poison because Yun Yun had pleaded for him.

But that was due to his relationship with Yun Yun, and had nothing to do with Nalan Yanran.

"She didn't say what!"

Yao Ye shook her head and said, "However, tomorrow is the joyous day of her Master, Cloud Mist Sect Sect Master Yun Yun. Instead of helping at Cloud Mist Sect, she has the leisure to come here..."

"Yun Yun's joyous day?"

"With whom?"

Hearing Yao Ye's words, Gu Fei was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that Yun Yun was actually going to marry someone.

Beside them, Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes showed a strange look. Previously, after her evolution failed, she had been kept by Gu Fei's side and knew that Gu Fei and this woman, Yun Yun, knew each other, and their relationship seemed somewhat ambiguous.

However, she was very clever and did not speak at this moment, just listening silently.

She was not a Queen now, but the man behind Gu Fei. What Gu Fei would do was up to him.

"Pill King Gu He!" Yao Ye replied.

"Gu He?"

Hearing Yao Ye's answer, Gu Fei frowned again.

In the original story, this incident also seemed to have occurred, but Yun Yun was forced by Yun Shan to marry Gu He. He wondered if this time, Yun Yun was also being forced by Yun Shan.

"Let her come over!" Gu Fei said in a deep voice.

Soon, Nalan Yanran was led over by Yao Ye.

Nalan Yanran stumbled into the main hall. When she saw Gu Fei sitting there, she was like a person about to die of thirst seeing water, wanting to rush over quickly, but Yao Ye suddenly pulled her back.

"Young Master Gu Fei is an esteemed guest of our Imperial Family. You must not be disrespectful to him!" Yao Ye's voice echoed in Nalan Yanran's mind.

Nalan Yanran then regained her composure and quickly walked to Gu Fei.

"Young Master Gu Fei, please save my Master!"

Nalan Yanran spoke with a tearful voice.

She knew that her Master and Gu Fei should be friends.

It was only because her Master Yun Yun had pleaded that Gu Fei was willing to help her grandfather detoxify.

As long as she explained Yun Yun's current predicament to Gu Fei, Gu Fei would definitely help Yun Yun.

With Gu Fei's mysterious strength, it shouldn't be difficult to rescue Yun Yun. The key was whether he was willing to help her.

"Just now I heard Yao Ye say that your Master is going to marry Gu He. Are you here for this matter?" Gu Fei didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

"Yes!"

"I am indeed here for this matter."

"Is your Master willing?" Gu Fei asked again.

"Of course not!" Nalan Yanran immediately replied.

"Although Master highly respects Great Master Gu He, it is only out of courtesy, with no emotions mixed in. Grand Master proposed that Master marry Great Master Gu He, but Master flatly refused and disobeyed the order."

"But Grand Master, in order to win over Great Master Gu He, actually sealed Master's Qi and placed her under house arrest..."

"Now Master is trapped in Cloud Mist Sect. I know Young Master Gu Fei has some connection with Master, so I came to ask for help."

"If Young Master Gu Fei refuses to help, then Master she..."

[Nalan Yanran experienced sadness, emotional value +60]

As Nalan Yanran spoke, she began to sob, her tone extremely sorrowful.

After listening to Nalan Yanran's description, Gu Fei frowned, and vast Qi unconsciously began to float on the surface of his body.

"So strong!"

Just the slightest aura emanating from him made Yao Ye and Nalan Yanran feel very uncomfortable. Jia Xingtian intervened in time to protect the two.

He felt that the Qi on Gu Fei's body was as vast as the ocean, while he himself was just a stream in front of him.

"How outrageous... Yun Shan's actions are simply unworthy of a Master!" Gu Fei said angrily.

Back then, he had hinted to Yun Yun that there would be a broader sky if she left the Jia Ma Empire, but Yun Yun hesitated, concerned about Cloud Mist Sect.

Gu Fei also respected Yun Yun's decision.

But he hadn't expected that even without Xiao Yan and Cloud Mist Sect's deep enmity, this matter still happened.

"If she doesn't want to marry, no one can force her!"
