32: Yun Yun's subtle reaction!

Xun'er was sulking because Gu Fei refused to answer her questions directly and had left her to enter the Immortal Cave with that woman.

Ling Ying, who had been like a transparent person and hadn't spoken a word, witnessed this farce and hesitated.

"Young Miss, since Young Master Gu Fei said so, then there's no way he would go after Xiao Yan."

"Young Master Gu Fei holds great prestige among the younger generation in the clan. Although I don't know much about him, I do know some things. He doesn't just command respect through his absolute strength, but also through his personal charisma."

"At least from what I can see, there's no hidden meaning or lie in his words."

Looking at the sulking Xun'er, Ling Ying couldn't help but speak.

His tone conveyed great trust in Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was a man who kept his promises; his word was his bond. If he said he hadn't dealt with Xiao Yan, then he truly hadn't.

On one hand, Gu Fei was a Genius whom Ling Ying looked up to, and his status was extremely noble.

Ling Ying's respect for Gu Fei came from the bottom of his heart.

When he first learned that Gu Fei sought to marry Xun'er, Ling Ying remained silent.

After all, Xun'er was someone he had watched grow up since childhood, so naturally, he viewed her with a certain filter, believing no man in the world was worthy of Young Miss Xun'er.

But after observing for some time, Ling Ying wholeheartedly accepted him as Xun'er's husband.

Earlier, when Xun'er asked Ling Ying to contact Xiao Yan, Ling Ying was initially reluctant.

It was obvious that Xiao Yan was inferior to Gu Fei in every aspect.

Between Xiao Yan and Gu Fei, Ling Ying clearly favored Xun'er marrying Gu Fei.

The union of two exceptionally talented individuals would surely be more perfect.

Although Xiao Yan had a good temperament and was steady, his talent was far inferior to Gu Fei's.

However, Ling Ying couldn't resist Xun'er's stubbornness.

Coupled with his years of rapport with Xun'er, he had no choice but to side with her, thus helping her deliver the message.

"Master Ling, of course I understand the reasoning. Since Gu Fei said he wouldn't make a move against Brother Xiao Yan, then it's set in stone, absolutely impossible."

"I was just angry for a moment, too impulsive, which made me speak carelessly and question him."

Xun'er lowered her head and said softly.

Although she usually held her ground, she was now feeling a little remorseful.

Last time, Xun'er was furious when Gu Yao sent people to deal with Xiao Yan, and she mistakenly blamed Gu Fei without understanding the full situation.

She thought she wouldn't repeat the same mistake, but she did again this time... Seeing Gu Fei and Yun Yun walk together, side-by-side, into the Immortal Cave, a pleasant sight, Xun'er felt even more distressed.

She bit her lower lip and suddenly said, "No, I have to go in and see. What if that woman has ill intentions? I hope nothing unexpected happens to them inside."

Ling Ying sighed helplessly and could only agree.

However, he did not intend to go inside, choosing instead to guard outside.

Xun'er hesitated for a moment, then decided to enter the Immortal Cave.

Just as she was about to enter, her expression changed, and a whooshing sound echoed in the sky.

"Human, without the master's permission, you are not allowed to trespass into the Immortal Cave."

"Stand back."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King circled overhead, its massive figure casting a shadow over the sky.

It lowered its head and issued a stern warning to Xun'er and Ling Ying.

The broken horn on its head was still throbbing, but Gu Fei had already stopped the bleeding.

Throughout the day, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's mood had been tense, never relaxing.

It had encountered far too many powerful individuals today.

Not only did it encounter the Dou Huang Yun Yun, who came to demand the purple spirit crystal and severed half its beast horn, but also Dou Zong powerhouses like Gu Fei.

Moreover, among the people who subsequently came to find Gu Fei, there was even a Dou Huang at the Peak level.

Ling Ying appeared to have no presence; he existed as a shadow, accustomed to concealing himself.

But the Amethyst Winged Lion King was quite wary of Ling Ying as well.

It stared at Ling Ying, assessing his strength in its mind.

As it issued its warning, its gaze remained vigilantly fixed on Ling Ying.

However, the Amethyst Winged Lion King understood that even if it wasn't an opponent, it still had to step forward and obstruct them, to demonstrate its loyalty to Gu Fei.

Besides, these two clearly knew its master, so they shouldn't attack it.

Xun'er looked up at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, completely unafraid of its low warning.

Her voice was sharp as she reprimanded, "Get out of the way!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's body stiffened, and anger surged in its heart.

It didn't want to offend Ling Ying, but that didn't mean this arrogant little girl could act so recklessly!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's voice fell silent for a moment, then a subtle ripple spread through the air.

Ling Ying keenly sensed the gathering of Dou Qi, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He took a few steps forward, standing in front of Xun'er, blocking the Amethyst Winged Lion King's ominous gaze.

Ling Ying turned around and tried to persuade Xun'er: "Young Miss, Young Master Gu Fei might be angry right now. It's best if we don't go in for the time being."

"It's not too late to explain once Young Master Gu Fei has calmed down. Going in now would be walking right into his anger, and it might not help him cool down."

Under Ling Ying's persuasion, Xun'er hesitated for a moment and finally calmed down.

She cast a cold glance at the Immortal Cave entrance and then waited outside the cave.

The subtly gathering Dou Qi then dispersed, and Ling Ying finally let out a sigh of relief.

If he couldn't persuade Xun'er, he might have had to fight a bitter battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Even if neither of them would fight for real, they would still inevitably suffer some injuries... On the other side, Yun Yun and Gu Fei walked side by side into the Immortal Cave.

Yun Yun sensed Xun'er's burning gaze from behind but remained silent.

The two continued a few steps further inside when Yun Yun finally couldn't help but ask, "The Xiao Yan you just mentioned, is he Xiao Yan from the Xiao Family in Wutan City?"

Yun Yun's intuition told her that these two Xiao Yan were the same person.

However, Yun Yun was puzzled: how could a mere Trash from Wutan City know these young men and women of the highest strength?

"Mm."

Gu Fei nodded nonchalantly, giving a very bland "Mm" without any further words.

He could sense that Xun'er and Ling Ying were still outside the Immortal Cave and hadn't left.

This made Gu Fei feel a little displeased.

It wasn't because he was jealous that Xun'er only had Xiao Yan in her heart.

It was simply because Gu Fei was a normal person, and being wrongly accused and subjected to inexplicable speculation for no reason would naturally make him unhappy.

At this moment, Gu Fei let out a long, turbid breath. Fortunately, he had already separated from Xun'er, and her influence on him was no longer significant.

If it had been before, he would probably have been distracted for the entire day, constantly doubting himself.

Gu Fei shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, he suddenly missed the simple girl with purple hair and purple eyes who was waiting for him to return in the Small Mountain Valley.

At least, when she was by his side, Gu Fei never experienced any overly negative emotions.
