161: Xun Er: No matter what, I will regain my

This banquet was originally prepared to welcome the Thunder Clan's delegation.

Now that all the members of the Thunder Clan had left, the banquet itself lost its purpose.

Gu Fei didn't want to waste time here, so he looked at Gu Lie, who was not far away.

"Grandpa, your grandson will head back first!"

Gu Fei smiled and bowed to Gu Lie, who also smiled and nodded.

Next, Gu Fei looked at Gu Yuan, and after bidding him farewell, he left the main hall.

Gu Fei left without hesitation, his gaze fixed on the direction he was going, not sparing anyone else a single glance.

This left Xun'er, who had been expecting something, feeling incredibly disheartened.

She thought that with her performance today, Gu Fei would surely be moved, but the anticipated scene did not occur.

Gu Fei hadn't changed his attitude towards her at all, despite her stepping forward.

He still treated her with the same indifference, like a stranger.

"Is there really no chance left...?"

Xun'er watched Gu Fei leave the main hall, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

A sense of grievance arose, and she was on the verge of tears, but in front of the Ancient Clan members, she held them back.

Gu Fei had set the precedent, and the remaining people also left one after another.

When some people who were close to Xun'er left, they wanted to say hello to her, but found her with her head bowed, looking very downcast, her mood even a little dark.

Everyone dared not ask more and could only leave dejectedly.

"Alas, why do you put yourself through this?"

In the main hall, as everyone left, Gu Yuan looked at his beloved daughter's dejected appearance and felt very pained, yet helpless.

What happened back then was indeed Xun'er's fault.

But, she clearly liked Gu Fei, so why did she... Although Gu Yuan felt sorry for his daughter, he felt that Gu Fei's actions were perfectly reasonable.

What if Gu Fei accepted her, and she then did something fickle again in the future? What man could endure that? After all, Xun'er was his beloved daughter, and he wouldn't lecture her about anything. Some things Xun'er needed to figure out for herself to truly solve the problem.

"You and Gu Fei have already separated, and he already has a wife. You are also a very outstanding person, with limitless prospects..."

"Father, you wouldn't understand!"

Xun'er interrupted Gu Yuan before he could finish his sentence.

"In this life, no matter what, I will regain Gu Fei!"

Xun'er left these words and departed alone, leaving Gu Yuan by himself.

Gu Yuan watched the stubborn Xun'er leave, the expression in his eyes constantly changing.

"I hope you can truly repent... Perhaps there's still some chance."

...After leaving the banquet, Gu Fei flew directly back to the peak of the mountain.

"Daddy's back!"

As soon as Gu Fei landed on the peak, Xian Le saw him and quickly ran over, throwing herself into Gu Fei's arms.

Gu Fei also took the opportunity to pick up Xian Le, holding her and spinning her around in the air.

"Slow down, don't throw Xian Le out."

Xiao Yi Xian walked forward and said.

"You underestimate me too much, I'm a Dou Zun after all," Gu Fei said with a smile.

Xiao Yi Xian naturally knew that Gu Fei would never accidentally drop Xian Le; she was just joking as a mother and wife to lighten the mood.

"Where are Sister Zi Yan and the others?" Gu Fei asked.

"Sister Zi Yan said she went to get something delicious and hasn't returned yet."

As soon as Xian Le finished speaking, the space beside Gu Fei suddenly cracked open, and a purple figure leaped out from within.

"Xian Le, did you miss me? Look what delicious things I brought you?"

Zi Yan emerged from the Void Realm and took out a handful of colorful fruits, handing them to Xian Le.

Gu Fei's mouth twitched involuntarily at the sight.

The things Zi Yan took out were all high-grade Spirit Medicine, likely stolen from the Ancient World's medicinal garden.

Now that her strength had increased, she truly dared to do anything.

"Quickly make me some sugar pills to eat!"

Zi Yan then pulled out a pile of Spirit Medicine and Spirit Fruits and presented them to Gu Fei.

Although her appearance had matured, her heart was still that of the little Zi Yan.

"Although refining can remove impurities, with your current strength, you can easily remove them yourself," Zhu Li said softly from the side.

Zi Yan gave Zhu Li a faint glance and grumbled, "This stuff is so bitter, I don't want to eat it raw, I want sweet ones."

Gu Fei looked at the rare medicinal herbs and knew that a medicinal field had already been plundered by Zi Yan.

As Zi Yan broke through to Dou Sheng, her spatial abilities became even stronger, an ability that was like a godsend for her in finding medicinal materials.

With Zi Yan and Gu Fei's return, the entire mountain peak immediately entered a state of joyful harmony, and some of Gu Fei's previous worries vanished with the laughter and cheer.

Such cheerfulness did not last too long, as a hint of worry gradually appeared on Zhu Li's face.

After Gu Fei noticed the change in Zhu Li's state, Zhu Li also directly confessed to Gu Fei.

"Zi Yan has already stepped into Dou Sheng after absorbing the dragon phoenix origin fruit. The Dragon Clan is now fragmented and urgently needs the appearance of a Dragon Emperor to help the Ancient Dragon Clan achieve unification and revitalization!"

"Therefore, I plan to take Zi Yan back to Ancient Dragon Island to inherit the position of Dragon Emperor!"

Zhu Li stated his purpose, and it was clear that he was very anxious, eager to see the Ancient Dragon Clan united.

The longer the Ancient Dragon Clan remained divided, the greater the internal weakening of the Dragon Clan, which was something the Elders of Zhu Li's faction were unwilling to see.

"Elder Zhu Li, Zi Yan is currently a Late Stage Three-Star Dou Sheng, and some of the dragon phoenix origin fruit's power still remains. Why not wait until she breaks through to Four-Star Dou Sheng before returning?"

Zhu Li fell silent upon hearing this, and combining it with the current situation of the Ancient Dragon Clan, he became conflicted.

"Zi Yan is the hope for the unification of the Ancient Dragon Clan; she absolutely cannot have any accidents. You know the situation of the Ancient Dragon Clan best yourself. If Zi Yan returns now, can it truly solve the problem?"

Gu Fei tried to persuade him to stay because he knew that the Three Great Dragon Kings would likely launch a siege against Zi Yan at the instigation of the North Dragon King.

Even if Zi Yan reached Four-Star Dou Sheng, she would still be no match for the Three Great Dragon Kings' combined assault.

Moreover, in the original work, the North Dragon King, for the sake of the Dragon Emperor's position, went mad and even colluded with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, the Dragon Clan's sworn enemy.

He even used the Dragon Transformation Demonic Array to harm the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Huang Tian, the Clan Chief of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, had a cultivation of Five-Star Dou Sheng, and when the North Dragon King activated the Dragon Transformation Demonic Array, his cultivation approached Six-Star Dou Sheng. Both of those powers were something Zi Yan could not contend with.

If Zi Yan returned without any preparation, it would only put her in danger.

And he himself was still only a Dou Zun; if Zi Yan encountered danger, he would temporarily have no ability to offer her assistance.
