188: You don’t think that the weaker one is right, do you?
Xiao Yan approached Gu Fei, his sudden words causing confusion among those around him.
"This kid, he actually has the guts to ask Brother Gu Fei to save someone. He's truly audacious!"
"Back then, Brother Gu Fei chose to separate from Young Miss Xun'er precisely because she was too caring towards this kid..."
"Who is Brother Xiao Yan trying to save? Could it be his mysterious Revered Master?"
Xun'er was also very puzzled at this moment.
Moreover, what exactly was the situation with his Revered Master that only Gu Fei could save him? Couldn't anyone else?
"Save someone?"
Gu Fei, who had been contemplating matters of the Hun Clan, stopped in his tracks, his gaze sweeping towards Xiao Yan.
Gu Fei was slightly surprised by Xiao Yan's arrival in the Ancient World, but that was all.
Such matters no longer concerned him.
"Husband, do you know him?"
"I suppose I've encountered him before. During the Cloud Mist Sect incident, this person was peeking from the side, and he had a remnant Soul with him..."
Gu Fei turned his head and replied to Xiao Yi Xian.
"Young Master Gu Fei, I came to the Ancient World specifically to find you and ask for your help. Please, you must save my Revered Master!"
Feeling ignored by Gu Fei, Xiao Yan quickly rephrased his words and spoke again.
His tone was very sincere.
"Is this the attitude of someone asking for help?"
Hearing this, Gu Fei glanced at Xiao Yan again and spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing Gu Fei's words, the expression in Xiao Yan's eyes seemed to show some struggle.
He thought that Gu Fei was making things difficult for him because of what happened between him and Xun'er years ago, wanting to vent his anger.
For Yao Chen, his benefactor and Revered Master.
Xiao Yan was willing to sacrifice some things.
Even a man's dignity.
The next moment, Xiao Yan's legs bent slightly, showing signs of wanting to kneel before Gu Fei.
"Brother Xiao Yan, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Xun'er immediately reached out and pulled Xiao Yan. "Even if you're asking for help, you don't need to kneel!"
"Young Master Gu Fei, after all these years, I didn't expect to have the chance to meet you again here!"
Just then, Xuan Kongzi and Wind Venerable walked over. Xuan Kongzi and Gu Fei were old acquaintances, so his tone was quite relaxed.
"President Xuan Kongzi!"
Meeting an acquaintance, Gu Fei politely nodded, then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank President Xuan Kongzi for the strange flame you gifted me back then. Since you're visiting the Ancient World this time, I must treat you well!"
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi secretly thought, "That strange flame back then, you clearly snatched it, yet you insist on saying I gifted it."
However, despite his thoughts, Xuan Kongzi still wore a fawning smile. "A spiritual object of heaven and earth like a strange flame belongs to the capable!"
"Young Master Gu Fei being able to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame precisely shows your affinity with the strange flame!"
With the appearance of Xuan Kongzi, an acquaintance, Xiao Yan was once again ignored by Gu Fei.
"Young Master Gu Fei, what exactly do you want me to do before you'll agree to save my Revered Master?"
Ignored again, Xiao Yan was a bit anxious at this moment, and his tone involuntarily carried a hint of resentment as he questioned.
His state.
It made it seem as if Gu Fei was deliberately making things difficult for him.
"What do I want you to do?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Gu Fei first frowned in displeasure.
"Heh!"
Then, as if amused by Xiao Yan's actions, Gu Fei retorted, "Do you think we have a good relationship? That as soon as you open your mouth, I'm obligated to help you?"
As Gu Fei's words fell, Xiao Yan immediately stood frozen, his Face extremely grim.
In terms of relationship.
His relationship with Gu Fei was definitely not good.
Moreover, this was the first official meeting between the two.
By all accounts, Gu Fei indeed had no obligation to help.
"I just said!"
"When asking for help, you must show the attitude of someone asking for help!"
"Furthermore, the person you wish to save is currently here, yet he is unwilling to personally come out and see me. Where is your sincerity?"
Gu Fei continued to speak a few more sentences.
Every word was reasonable, without the slightest hint of looking down on anyone.
"This Xiao Yan is really bad at dealing with people. Doesn't he understand such obvious principles?"
"Like us, when we ask an Alchemist to refine a Medicinal Pill, we need to offer a good gift, not only bringing our own medicinal ingredients but also double the amount!"
"Asking for help, not only not explaining what you need help with, but also without a gift, just wanting the other party to agree. This is truly the first time I've seen such an absurd person!"
The onlookers all sided with Gu Fei, not only because of Gu Fei's status but more so because Gu Fei was in the right.
This was not a place where the weak were always right.
"I almost misunderstood Brother Gu Fei again!"
Xun'er also understood that Gu Fei's words were not meant to make things difficult for Xiao Yan, but merely a normal request for compensation for providing help.
"Young Master Gu Fei, please forgive us, my Revered Master and I were presumptuous!"
As Xiao Yan felt embarrassed, Yao Chen's Soul floated out from Xiao Yan's storage ring.
The moment his ethereal, aged figure appeared, it drew gasps of surprise from many people around.
"Isn't that Venerable Yao from back then?"
"Rumor has it that Venerable Yao perished many years ago. I didn't expect his Soul to still be in the world!"
After Yao Chen's Soul appeared, he didn't pay attention to the murmuring voices around him. Instead, he cupped his hands towards Gu Fei and sincerely said, "Young Master Gu Fei, it's not that this old man is unwilling to show himself... This old man is currently just a Soul body, so it's truly inconvenient to appear in public..."
"This old man has come this time to ask Young Master Gu Fei to help me reconstruct my Physical Body!"
Yao Chen's efficiency was much higher than Xiao Yan's; he stated his purpose without any unnecessary words.
"Venerable Yao was once known as the number one Alchemist in the Central Plains!"
"Now that he has personally come forward, Young Master Gu Fei should surely give him Face!"
"Yes, if Venerable Yao can be resurrected, this favor could be exchanged for a large number of high-grade Medicinal Pills in the future. The Gu Clan should not refuse!"
"What a joke. Such a defeated dog, and he dares to call himself the number one Alchemist?"
"The level of Alchemists in the Central Plains truly makes one laugh out loud!"
As some powerful individuals from Central Plains Sects flattered Yao Chen, two mocking voices abruptly rang out, instantly causing Xiao Yan's eyes to turn bloodshot.
"How dare you insult my Revered Master!"
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, glaring fiercely at the two who had just spoken.
Yao Chen's expression was also extremely furious at this moment, his gaze sharp as he stared at the two individuals.
The speakers were two young men dressed in Alchemist robes. Clearly, they both came from the Medicine Clan and knew that Yao Chen was the clan member they had expelled back then.
"Brother Xiao Yan, don't be impulsive. You are no match for them!"
Xun'er quickly tried to dissuade Xiao Yan.
The two young men from the Medicine Clan both had cultivation levels above Seven-Star Dou Zun. If Xiao Yan were to act, he would surely be the one to suffer losses.
"Trash is indeed trash. The disciples they teach are still just as trash!"
Facing the furious gazes of Xiao Yan and his Revered Master, the two from the Medicine Clan, relying on their backing, continued to mock them.
