54: Add to Xingtian’s suspicion! uninvited guest!

Inside the main hall, Jia Xingtian and Yao Ye fell into a brief silence.

After a moment of thought, Yao Ye speculated, "Grandfather, could it be that some great treasure has appeared in the Eastern Border?"

"It's very possible!"

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian nodded.

The few people who went to the Eastern Border this time were not ordinary individuals. How could they all appear in the Eastern Border at the same time?

The Cloud Mist Sect Sect Master was fine; she often trained outside. But why would Pill King Gu He suddenly come to the Eastern Border?

An Alchemist like him would usually be heavily protected in an extremely safe location.

Also, according to the news from the border, those mysterious young men and women riding Sixth-Tier Demonic Beasts... such a group of people would only appear there if some good treasure had appeared.

Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his cloudy gaze, and said, "It seems my old bones should move a bit too!"

As the ruler of the Imperial Family, Jia Xingtian would never allow uncontrollable events to occur in his Empire.

The Eastern Border... is a very sensitive place.

Beyond the border, in the Tagor Desert, the Snake-People Tribe resides.

Jia Xingtian was aware of the Snake-People Tribe's foundation. Back then, the Jia Ma Empire, along with several surrounding Empires, barely managed to drive the Snake-People into the depths of the desert, unable to completely eradicate them.

They were powerful and cruel. The Jia Ma Empire, combining the strength of several Empires, barely managed to expel the Snake-People Tribe.

From this, it was clear that the overall strength of the Snake-People Tribe was far beyond what a single Jia Ma Empire could contend with.

This matter, he feared, was also related to the Snake-People Tribe occupying the Tagor Desert.

Therefore, Jia Xingtian decided he still needed to see it for himself, just to be safe.

"Grandfather, this matter is of great importance, and Yao'er also wishes to go along!"

Hearing this, Yao Ye quickly requested.

"Alright, this might be a good experience! It will greatly benefit your strength and knowledge."

Jia Xingtian raised an eyebrow and did not refuse.

After all, he was old, and he hoped Tian Ye could gain more experience, possess greater strength and more knowledge, to prepare for ruling the entire vast Empire.

Soon, a massive flying beast flew out from the Gama Imperial Palace.

On the back of this flying beast, there was not only Jia Xingtian, a Dou Huang expert, but also a Dou Wang, and seven or eight Dou Ling guards.

These top experts were naturally there to protect Tian Ye's safety.

After all, once in the Eastern Border, Jia Xingtian would sometimes need to act alone.

Without a Dou Huang's personal protection, the safety of Tian Ye, the Imperial Family's future successor, needed to be guaranteed.

Jia Xingtian carefully selected a few people and took them on the journey to the Eastern Border... When there was movement in the Imperial Palace, other major Families in the Imperial Capital also received some news and paid close attention.

"Is the news true? How can a group of teenagers, barely in their teens, possess a Sixth-Tier Demonic Beast as a mount?"

"My father once encountered a Sixth-Tier Demonic Beast. Just a glance at it, and the terrifying pressure was enough to make anyone below the Dou Huang rank unable to stand straight."

"And why have the Cloud Mist Sect Sect Master and Pill King Gu He appeared? Could it be... that there really is some treasure appearing in the Eastern Border?"

Many major Families were secretly discussing this matter, as it happened in the Eastern Border, which was a very sensitive area... The Eastern Border of the Jia Ma Empire, bordering the Tagor Desert.

Gu Fei once again put the still-unconscious Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python into his sleeve, then walked out of the cave.

The soft and smooth touch of Queen Medusa's skin seemed to linger on his fingertips, and her fiery curves, along with her flashing angry beautiful eyes and blushing cheeks, kept replaying in Gu Fei's mind.

Because of the intimate moments that had just occurred between him and Queen Medusa.

Even though Gu Fei hadn't actually done anything, his face was still a bit red at this moment.

In his mind, seductive images of Queen Medusa's naked body appeared from time to time, which he couldn't control.

"Big Brother Gu Fei, what's wrong?"

Seeing Gu Fei's unusual behavior, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, who were waiting outside the cave, asked with concern.

[Xiao Yi Xian feels concern, Emotion Value +100]

[Qing Lin feels concern, Emotion Value +70]

"Nothing, perhaps refining the Green Lotus Core Flame this time consumed too much energy!"

This statement, when applied to others, was indeed a fact. Refining a strange flame was a matter of life and death.

If one was not careful, they would be devoured by the strange flame, directly turning to ashes.

A Prodigy like Gu Fei, who easily refined the Green Lotus Core Flame, was an anomaly.

Gu Fei smiled, covering it up, and did not mention what had just happened.

Xiao Yi Xian, of course, noticed that he was hiding something, but she chose not to ask. If Gu Fei wanted to tell her, he naturally would.

"Then you must pay attention to rest!"

Xiao Yi Xian said worriedly.

[Xiao Yi Xian feels worried, Emotion Value +100]

Her undisguised concern warmed Gu Fei's heart.

He patted Xiao Yi Xian's head and softly responded, and only then did Xiao Yi Xian break into a faint smile.

Afterward, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin went to make a fire and cook.

The life of three people and one beast seemed very peaceful, happy, and carefree.

This kind of life was something Qing Lin had never dared to imagine before. At this moment, she silently gazed at Gu Fei's back, very thankful for the decision she had made.

[Qing Lin feels satisfied, Emotion Value +70]

Gu Fei heard the System's prompt, paused, then continued to ponder where to go next.

After taking the Green Lotus Core Flame, Gu Fei actually had plans to leave the Jia Ma Empire.

Although there were indeed some people with higher Luck in the Jia Ma Empire, Gu Fei already had Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin by his side, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King could barely count as half a person.

He temporarily had no strong desire to seek out those with higher Luck.

Along the way, the trio's journey was not fast; the Lion King would stop after flying for a few hours.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin chatted, their eyes sparkling.

Gu Fei watched them quietly from the side, a smile unconsciously gracing his face.

"Yes, guide the Dou Qi within your body, feel the heavy energy in the air..."

Sometimes, Gu Fei would patiently guide the ignorant Qing Lin in Cultivation.

And with the terrifying Physique of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Qing Lin could directly absorb the energy from the snake-like creatures she controlled, naturally progressing at an astonishing speed.

A day later, they stopped to rest in a secluded spot. Qing Lin was sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, breathing in and out.

Gu Fei was originally observing her Cultivation state when suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly.

Because he sensed a Dou Huang aura approaching from not far away.
