23: Let's go, I'll take you to kill people!

After returning to Qingshan Town, Gu Fei immediately went into hiding, not showing himself in front of others.

He looked deeply at Xiao Yi Xian, telling her not to worry, and then fell silent.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated a feeling of loss, emotional value +100]

Although a plan had been made in advance, Xiao Yi Xian still felt a pang in her heart when she watched Gu Fei suddenly disappear.

She hid the fluctuations on her Face, her expression calm, and as Gu Fei had instructed earlier, when Boss Yao asked, she announced that the powerful Alchemist had already left.

She said that after Gu Fei obtained the satisfactory medicinal ingredients, he separated from the herb-gathering team when descending the mountain.

"That esteemed adult actually left..."

Boss Yao listened and responded faintly, regretting in his heart that he hadn't managed to curry favor with that esteemed Alchemist... In Qingshan Town, at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's station.

Mu She was greatly enraged after learning that his son, Mu Li, had died tragically, with no one to collect his body, leaving him alone in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the cup he held in his hand was instantly crushed to powder.

Glass shards fluttered down, and Mu She's expression was sinister as he gnashed his teeth.

He was naturally not foolish; after much thought, the only suspect was Xiao Yi Xian.

He knew that Mu Li's death was related to the Xiao Yi Xian from the Wan Yao Pharmacy, and couldn't help but immediately send people to kill Xiao Yi Xian to vent his anger.

However, at first, he didn't know that the powerful Alchemist protecting Xiao Yi Xian had already left, and out of concern for his Face, he was waiting.

News came from his subordinates, saying that Xiao Yi Xian claimed Gu Fei had already left first.

Mu She smiled sinisterly, his expression full of murderous intent.

"Go, send someone to inform Boss Yao of the Wan Yao Pharmacy to hand over Xiao Yi Xian; otherwise, if I come personally, the treatment will not be the same."

His subordinate rarely saw such a gloomy Mu She, and he tremblingly whispered "yes" before rushing to the Wan Yao Pharmacy.

At the same time, Boss Yao of the Wan Yao Pharmacy also revealed his true colors after repeatedly confirming Gu Fei's "departure."

He was very smooth and shrewd in his dealings with people, and naturally saw that Gu Fei had been intentionally or unintentionally protecting Xiao Yi Xian before.

Now that Gu Fei had truly left, wasn't Xiao Yi Xian at his mercy?

Boss Yao had always known a little about the Treasure Trove at the bottom of the cliff, but had never shown it.

It was also because of this that he had always harbored greed, wanting a share of it.

Boss Yao knew that Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Fei must have retrieved the Treasure Trove on this trip.

Now that Gu Fei had left, he immediately sent people to put Xiao Yi Xian under house arrest and relentlessly questioned her about the whereabouts of the Treasure Trove.

The intensity was such that they were practically about to search her body.

Furthermore, after receiving Mu She's message, Boss Yao agreed to Mu She without hesitation.

He curled his lips, revealing a sinister smile.

Boss Yao intended, after extracting the Treasure Trove's location, to hand Xiao Yi Xian over to Mu She for him to vent his anger.

Xiao Yi Xian was suddenly placed under house arrest, and her intelligence quickly led her to discover that this was Boss Yao's conspiracy.

She naturally couldn't believe it, because Boss Yao usually appeared kind and gentle, and had never even spoken harshly.

She also overheard Mu She's name in their conversation.

It was likely that Mu She was demanding her from Boss Yao.

This series of events happened so quickly that Xiao Yi Xian was very worried.

However, she recalled Gu Fei's instructions to her earlier in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and gradually calmed down.

That night.

Boss Yao's subordinates had another round of fruitless interrogation and left angrily. Xiao Yi Xian leaned against the wall, somewhat fatigued, her gaze vacant.

"It seems that with my departure, many people indeed want to make a move against you."

"Xiao Yi Xian, are you alright now?"

[Xiao Yi Xian generated a feeling of surprise, emotional value +100]

Xiao Yi Xian heard the familiar gentle voice, abruptly opened her eyes, full of surprise.

It turned out that Gu Fei had reappeared, directly in Xiao Yi Xian's room.

He walked over step by step, picked up a chair, and sat down in front of Xiao Yi Xian.

"Brother Gu Fei, you're finally here!"

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

Xiao Yi Xian had endured a day of questioning and coercion; although she hadn't suffered any physical harm, her heart was very weary.

Now, finally seeing Gu Fei, her eyes were red and moist, filled with emotion.

"Let's go, I'll take you to kill people!"

Gu Fei smiled slightly, his expression unchanged from usual when he spoke these words.

But his words made Xiao Yi Xian pause.

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

Xiao Yi Xian couldn't describe what she felt in her heart at that moment—a mix of sourness and numbness, yet not unpleasant.

Next, Gu Fei led Xiao Yi Xian, walking directly and swaggeringly out of the room.

Xiao Yi Xian's heart sped up for a moment, then she saw that the fierce guards who had been sitting at the door of the room were all sprawled on the table, as if in an unbreakable dream.

They first went to Boss Yao's residence.

Boss Yao had already retired at this time. Hearing faint, rustling sounds, he abruptly sat up and sharply demanded, "Who's there!"

"It's me."

Gu Fei approached him, with Xiao Yi Xian following behind him.

The two people who shouldn't have been there appeared together, and Boss Yao was stunned, then cold sweat broke out on his palms.

[Boss Yao generated a feeling of guilt, emotional value +10]

He feigned ignorance, asking, "Is there something you need, bringing Xiao Yi Xian to my room in the middle of the night for a visit?" His body, however, kept retreating until Gu Fei's cold eyes fixed him in place.

Gu Fei lightly raised his palm, and a terrifying Qi current brewed in his hand.

[Boss Yao generated extreme fear, emotional value +15]

Boss Yao immediately knelt down, crying and begging for mercy: "My lord, spare my life! I locked Xiao Yi Xian up to protect her! Mu She wants to kill her to vent his anger! Everything I did was for her own good!"

Gu Fei no longer wasted words. He had secretly observed the entire course of events during this time and knew that Boss Yao's words were all lies.

The next moment, he swiftly and decisively unleashed a palm strike. The terrifying Qi current precisely pierced through Boss Yao's chest, leaving him, like Mu Li before him, breathless before he could even react.

Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips and said nothing. Gu Fei then took her to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's station and found Mu She.

During this time, Gu Fei had witnessed the maliciousness of both Mu She and Boss Yao, so he struck without mercy or hesitation.

[Mu She generated a feeling of fear, emotional value +10]

He didn't give Mu She a chance to quibble, but instead, with a light palm strike, made Mu She's fear-filled eyes completely freeze.

Xiao Yi Xian stood behind Gu Fei, quietly watching him deal with both Boss Yao and Mu She.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated a feeling of gratitude, emotional value +100]

Although Gu Fei killed without batting an eye, Xiao Yi Xian was not afraid.

Because she understood that these people deserved to die, and Gu Fei was standing up for her.

She was grateful to Gu Fei from the bottom of her heart; without Gu Fei, her current situation would likely be extremely difficult.
