22: Xun'er returns to Wutan City again!

Wutan City, Xiao Family.

By this time, a considerable amount of time had passed since Xiao Yan left for his training.

In the period before he left, with the help of Old Yao, he left a large number of Medicinal Pills for the Xiao Family, occupying the largest market.

And the people of the Xiao Family, like a long-awaited rain, their past of being constantly trampled upon fueled their fervent desire to become stronger.

Using the large quantity of Medicinal Pills provided by Xiao Yan, they undoubtedly became the number one Family in Wutan City.

Today, everyone suddenly discovered that Xun'er, who had left the Family a year ago, had returned.

This news spread rapidly as Xun'er returned to the Xiao Family.

Xun'er rushed to the Xiao Family.

"Uncle Xiao!"

When she saw Xiao Zhan, she still politely saluted Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan, just as she had in the past.

After Xiao Zhan smiled and gestured for Xun'er to dispense with the formalities, Xun'er immediately looked up and eagerly asked, "Uncle Xiao, where did Brother Xiao Yan go?"

Xiao Zhan was silent for a moment, then said, "Yan Er has been out training for some time."

She didn't have time for more pleasantries, quickly thanked Xiao Zhan, then lifted her skirt and prepared to leave, immediately intending to search for Xiao Yan.

This time, Xun'er secretly snuck out of the Gu Family, accompanied not only by Ling Ying, an eight-star Dou Huang, but also a Dou Zong expert from the Gu Family secretly following her.

After all, Xun'er was Gu Yuan's beloved daughter; as the patriarch of the Family, how could he not notice any stirrings in the Ancient World?

As soon as Xun'er planned to sneak out, he learned the news.

His daughter was grown; he couldn't control her forever. When a bird's wings gradually grow full, he must give her the sky to fly.

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly and still chose to let go, but how could he not send people to watch over Xun'er's safety?

Thus, Ling Ying and another Dou Zong expert were sent to follow Xun'er.

Furthermore, if Xun'er encountered a life-or-death crisis, facing a desperate situation, as long as she had even one second to struggle, she could crush the spatial Jade Slip she carried, summoning Gu Yuan from the distant Ancient World to come.

For this daughter, Gu Yuan had put in a lot of effort, only hoping that she would grow up safely in the end.

Gu Yuan silently watched Xun'er's departing back, letting out a long sigh.

On this side, after some investigation, Xun'er quickly learned of Xiao Yan's whereabouts.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to go with Ling Ying towards the Magical Beast Mountain Range to search for Xiao Yan... Magical Beast Mountain Range.

At this moment, Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian's group had already collected many medicinal herbs.

Although Gu Fei's storage ring still had a large amount of space, there were no more medicinal herbs he needed here.

"Brother Gu Fei, we..."

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Gu Fei; before she could finish her sentence, Gu Fei nodded.

So she told the mercenaries that they were preparing to descend the mountain.

However, her beautiful eyes were full of worries, her brows tightly furrowed.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated a worried emotion, emotional value +100]

Gu Fei, with the help of the System, naturally noticed that Xiao Yi Xian's state was not quite right, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Yi Xian was quite distracted, and as she walked, she didn't even notice when Gu Fei in front of her stopped, bumping into his sturdy back before she finally came back to her senses.

Her brows still weren't relaxed, and her whole demeanor was somewhat downcast.

Gu Fei stared at her for a moment, then shook his head.

The reason Xiao Yi Xian was so worried was that in the intervals of collecting herbs, she had already perused the Seven-Colored Poison Manual she obtained in the cave at the bottom of the cliff.

Upon seeing the four characters "Calamity Poison Body" at the beginning of one page, her heart sank slightly, and an inexplicable feeling told her that if she finished reading it, she would regret it.

But Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips and continued to read.

After finishing the entire Seven-Colored Poison Manual, she learned that she possessed the Physique of the Calamity Poison Body.

Xiao Yi Xian could feel that her Calamity Poison Body was not yet unsealed, so she tried her best to persuade herself not to overthink things.

Right now, the matter of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was clearly more important.

Although Gu Fei had killed Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, this time without leaving any witnesses, and the surviving mercenaries didn't dare to go back and report the incident.

However, the people of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group might very likely connect it to her. After all, among this group, Gu Fei was here for the first time, and logically, he shouldn't have had any conflicts with Mu Li.

The vast majority of the remaining mercenaries were not as strong as Mu Li and couldn't have killed him, and the very few who were stronger than Mu Li couldn't afford to offend the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Therefore, if they thought carefully, they might suspect Xiao Yi Xian.

If Xiao Yi Xian continued to return to Qingshan Town, the people of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group would probably not let her off.

Although Gu Fei was strong, he... probably wouldn't continue to stay in a small place like Qingshan Town.

Xiao Yi Xian's clear purple eyes were full of worry.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated a worried emotion, emotional value +100]

Gu Fei sighed; he naturally saw Xiao Yi Xian's worries.

It was impossible for him to wait for Xiao Yi Xian to figure it out herself, because that girl's mind was always prone to overthinking.

Gu Fei stepped forward and softly said, "Xiao Yi Xian, are you worried about retaliation from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group after returning to Qingshan Town?"

His expression was gentle, and his gaze was fixed on Xiao Yi Xian; she hesitated for a moment.

"Yes, Young Master, you might not know, but the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is the strongest mercenary group in all of Qingshan Town. Their young leader died, and the mercenary group won't let it go. Moreover, Mu Li was the leader's son."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, admitting it frankly.

Xiao Yi Xian was overly worried; the Wolf Head Mercenary Group acted ruthlessly, and anyone who offended them never came to a good end.

Now that their young leader had died inexplicably, the retaliation would be even more terrifying.

Gu Fei smiled and said nonchalantly, "No need to worry, rest assured, I will naturally resolve all troubles cleanly."

"Next, I will ostensibly leave first, but I will actually stay secretly in Qingshan Town for a few days. If anyone dares to act improperly towards you, I will deal with all of them."

Gu Fei paused in his words.

"You just need to be a good Xiao Yi Xian; leave everything else to me."

[Xiao Yi Xian generated a touched emotion, emotional value +100]

Xiao Yi Xian stared blankly at Gu Fei; the confidence in his voice unconsciously stirred a warm current in her heart, making her feel a strong sense of security.

Gu Fei looked down at the purple-haired, purple-eyed girl; her eyes were shallow, and a faint mist welled up, as if she was about to cry.

In Qingshan Town, everyone respected Xiao Yi Xian, but no one had ever said to her: You just need to be a good Xiao Yi Xian; leave everything else to me.

Xiao Yi Xian's throat felt a little choked, and the long-lost feeling of her heart beating accelerated again.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated an admiring emotion, emotional value +100]

She didn't say anything more, but her expression became much calmer, and she followed Gu Fei down the mountain.
