159: Xun Er: I don’t agree with this marriage!

Gu Fei felt warmth in his heart, caressed Little Xian Le's small face, then looked at Xiao Yi Xian and Caier, feeling extremely content.

The happiest thing in this world is for a family to be together joyfully.

Nothing is more important than this.

"Little friend Gu Fei, you have bestowed upon us a great Opportunity this time; you are a great benefactor to my Dragon Clan. If there is ever anything you need in the future, my Dragon Clan will certainly give its full support!" Zhu Li said excitedly as he came to express his gratitude.

"You're overstating it. Zi Yan is my friend. When I helped her, I never thought of any repayment!" Gu Fei smiled and shook his head.

After Xiao Yi Xian, Caier, and Qing Lin celebrated Zi Yan's Breakthrough to Dou Sheng, Gu Fei continued to rest and recover his energy.

After absorbing some of the dragon phoenix origin fruit's energy earlier, Gu Fei felt that he was only a step away from Nine-Star Dou Zun. He had originally planned to Breakthrough after a good night's sleep.

Unexpectedly, after sleeping for two days and two nights straight, Gu Fei woke up to find that he had directly broken through to Nine-Star Dou Zun.

"If I could keep breaking through just by sleeping, that would be awesome."

Gu Fei, feeling refreshed after waking up, sensed the energy within his body and smiled, saying, "I wonder when I'll be able to enter the Saint Realm!"

Because of Zi Yan's Breakthrough, a fierce fire also ignited in Gu Fei's heart. He was getting closer and closer to Half-Saint.

With Zi Yan becoming a Dou Sheng, Gu Fei was also eager to step into that Realm.

Then, he would launch the final charge towards that unprecedented Realm.

Gu Fei also knew that the gap between Nine-Star Dou Zun, Half-Saint, and even Dou Sheng was incredibly vast.

Because to achieve Half-Saint, one still needed to go through the arduous process of Nine Revolutions to Sainthood.

Compressing and refining Dou Qi nine times.

Many people spend their entire lives stuck at this stage, eventually dying in frustration.

"This kind of thing can't be rushed."

Gu Fei reined in his aura, stopped inspecting his body, and stood up to walk outside the main building.

Yesterday, Xiao Yi Xian told him that to welcome the Lei Clan's envoy group, the Gu Clan had prepared a banquet and invited Gu Fei to attend.

Gu Fei was not very willing to go, but the invitation had already been delivered to his doorstep, so it would not be good to refuse.

After a simple tidying up, Gu Fei headed towards the banquet location.

On the way, Gu Fei heard some rumors about the purpose of the banquet, but he did not pay much attention to them, so he did not listen much.

Upon arriving at the banquet hall, all the Lei Clan disciples were already present. Lei Dong was seated in the front row and also saw Gu Fei's arrival.

He first looked behind Gu Fei to confirm that Zi Yan had not come, then his gaze turned gloomy as he looked at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei glanced indifferently at Lei Dong, also noticing his slightly hostile gaze.

However, he did not care and found his seat and sat down.

Xun'er's gaze also fell on Gu Fei. The expression in her eyes was very complex.

There was unwillingness, confusion, loss, and also some reluctance.

Gu Fei did not look at her once from beginning to end, which made Xun'er feel as if she had fallen into an abyss.

"That's right, the women around him are all so excellent... it seems he doesn't lack me!"

"Flowers attract butterflies... I must become even more outstanding!"

Xun'er thought silently, unconsciously clenching her fists.

In contrast to the complex emotions of the younger generation, the Lei Clan Elders present looked at Gu Fei with appreciation.

Gu Fei, in his twenties, was already a Nine-Star Dou Zun. This talent was even more terrifying than Lei Dong's back then, and even more terrifying were the people around him.

Soon after Gu Fei arrived, Gu Yuan, Gu Lie, and other Gu Clan Elders also entered the hall.

"Haha, Gu Clan, Lei Clan, we haven't had exchanges for over ten years. Your visit this time, I hope everyone enjoys themselves..."

After everyone had arrived, Gu Yuan welcomed the Lei Clan Elders. After some mutual pleasantries, the banquet officially began.

As the banquet began, the Lei Clan's decisive and resolute character was fully displayed. As soon as Gu Yuan finished his polite remarks, a Lei Clan Elder stood up and said, "Clan Chief Gu Yuan, we have come this time to propose marriage for Lei Dong. These are the gifts from our Lei Clan."

After the Lei Clan Elder finished speaking, numerous boxes filled with rare treasures appeared.

"May I ask, to whom does the Lei Clan wish to propose marriage this time?"

Gu Lie asked.

"Naturally, to Clan Chief Gu Yuan's daughter, Young Miss Xun'er!"

The Lei Clan Elder said.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a stir throughout the hall. They were not surprised, but rather had an expression of 'as expected'.

This news had actually spread a few days ago. The Gu Clan Elders, as well as Gu Yuan, had long known the Lei Clan's intention, and many Elders felt that with Lei Dong's excellence, marrying Xun'er would be a good choice.

Gu Yuan's question just now was merely to follow a procedure and prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Otherwise, if the other party changed their mind, he, Xun'er, and the Lei Clan would all be in an awkward position.

"Xun'er, what do you mean?"

Gu Yuan would naturally not agree directly. He doted on his daughter very much, so he naturally had to consult her personal opinion.

Xun'er's attention had been on Gu Fei before. Hearing Gu Yuan's question at this moment, she stood up and refused without hesitation, saying, "Father, I only love Gu Fei. In this life, I only want to be Gu Fei's wife again."

"In my opinion, Gu Fei is the most excellent person in this world!"

Hearing these words, Gu Fei's brows furrowed slightly.

He did not expect Xun'er to declare her feelings publicly like this.

The Lei Clan had just proposed marriage, and Xun'er's words could be said to completely disregard the Lei Clan's dignity, even rubbing the Lei Clan's face on the ground. Lei Dong's face was already somewhat flushed, and he felt annoyed.

As soon as Xun'er's words fell, the Lei Clan members frowned and looked at her.

Gu Yuan also did not expect Xun'er to refuse so directly. His gaze lingered on Xun'er and then looked at Gu Fei, his brows furrowing.

He was not worried about offending the Lei Clan; he just did not expect Xun'er to be like this now... Gu Yuan remembered that before Xun'er and Gu Fei got married, this situation was exactly the opposite of now; it had completely reversed.

"Xun'er, we all know that Gu Fei's talent is very strong, even the most outstanding talent in the Gu Clan, but there are always people better than you, and there is always a higher Heaven. There's no need to be so certain about anything; there should always be room for maneuver."

A Gu Clan Elder stood out to smooth things over.

Gu Lie looked a bit awkward on the side. Since the matter involved his grandson Gu Fei, it was really hard for him to say anything.

Xun'er was unimpressed by the Elder's persuasion and continued, "There isn't necessarily anyone better, and there isn't necessarily a higher Heaven. Gu Fei's talent is unmatched in this era; no one can compare!"

"In my heart, he is the most excellent person!"

When Xun'er said this again, Lei Dong finally could no longer endure it. He stood up, Dou Qi surging around his body. If he did not restrain it, it would directly rush towards Gu Fei.

"Hmph, he is the most excellent person?"

"He's just a coward hiding behind women!"

Lei Dong stood up and said, very unconvinced. Clearly, he felt that his Half-Saint cultivation made him more excellent than Gu Fei.

A few days ago, he could have defeated Gu Fei in public, but the sudden appearance of Zi Yan stole his thunder. If it were just Gu Fei, what right did he have to make him leave in such a dejected manner!

Gu Fei looked at Lei Dong indifferently, not wanting to engage in a war of words with him.

Xun'er, however, did not intend to let it go.

"Lei Dong, do you think your talent is amazing? Do you think you can be compared with Gu Fei?"

"I ask you, how old are you this year? You're probably almost thirty, right? Almost thirty, and you've only barely reached Half-Saint. What was your cultivation when you were twenty-two?"

Xun'er fired a series of questions.
