59: Nalan Yanran: Teacher, do you know who has strange fire?

“What a temptress!”

Seeing this enchanting woman appear in his line of sight, even Gu Fei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although this woman's appearance wasn't breathtakingly beautiful, her alluring charm was at its peak.

With her unique allure, and her presence at the Miter Auction House, Gu Fei didn't even need to guess her identity.

"Ya Fei greets Your Highness the Princess!"

Ya Fei recognized Yao Ye. As she arrived, she smiled charmingly and bowed to Yao Ye.

Immediately after, her gaze fell openly on Gu Fei, who was sitting quietly to the side.

Ya Fei could tell that this group of people implicitly revolved around Gu Fei, and even Princess Yao Ye was merely accompanying him.

Her ability to read people was outstanding, and combined with the news that had reached the Imperial Capital last night, Ya Fei immediately guessed that Gu Fei was the esteemed guest the Imperial Family had invited back this time.

Therefore, Ya Fei was very polite in showing favor to Gu Fei.

"Young Master, if there's anything you fancy, just tell this elder sister!"

She lightly moved her lotus steps, walked to Gu Fei's side, and spoke in a soft, tingling voice.

This woman exuded charm and allure. Under the gaze of her narrow, peach blossom eyes, Gu Fei's heart skipped a beat.

Every gesture and smile from Ya Fei exuded feminine charm, making Gu Fei couldn't help but sigh that this woman was as alluring as a cat. She was a temptress, and few men could resist her.

Although, overall, this woman was a notch below Medusa.

However, she was more proactive than Medusa and was extremely good at understanding men's preferences.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Ya Fei act this way, Xiao Yi Xian snorted coldly in her heart, seemingly displeased, and then pulled Gu Fei's hand, walking away.

Seeing this scene, Ya Fei could only smile awkwardly, not daring to say more.

Later, while strolling through the auction house, Gu Fei said dotingly to Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, "Buy whatever you like. What matters most is that you like it!"

It was the first time the two young girls had seen such a spectacle. Upon hearing this, their eyes sparkled.

They browsed along, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on the glittering treasures, and Gu Fei picked them up one by one, ready to pay.

However, when it came to settling the bill, Yao Ye quickly interjected, "Young Master Gu Fei, just charge these to my account."

Hearing this, Gu Fei didn't argue with her. He didn't care about such worldly possessions.

After touring the auction house, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were still a bit reluctant to leave.

And that same evening, Jia Xingtian specifically arranged a party for Gu Fei.

The party invited all the wealthy and influential figures of the Jia Ma Empire.

They had all received Jia Xingtian's invitation and understood that this was a party specially held for the Imperial Family's esteemed guest, so they all came fully prepared.

Gu Fei received Jia Xingtian's invitation and hesitated for a moment. Then, thinking of the excitement the two girls had shown while browsing the auction house during the day, he decided to bring Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to attend.

This was a chance to broaden their horizons and experience a life they hadn't tried before.

"A party, how wonderful!"

"I want to go too!"

Xiao Yi Xian, of course, had no objection. She happily agreed and, together with Qing Lin, began preparing their outfits for the party.

Yao Ye's luxurious and elegant court dress had, of course, left a deep impression on them. Although Xiao Yi Xian didn't say it, she secretly harbored a competitive thought, while Qing Lin was single-mindedly choosing beautiful dresses... In the evening, the banquet began on time.

At the banquet, Mu Chen, the head of the Mu Family, Nalan Su, the head of the Nalan Family, and Teng Shan, the head of the Miter Family, all appeared one after another.

The three old men exchanged glances and smiled, clinking their cups, their intentions unspoken.

As Gu Fei stepped into the banquet hall, everyone's gaze turned towards him.

"Young Master Gu Fei, you've arrived!"

Yao Ye and Jia Xingtian, the grandfather and granddaughter, walked over, smiling and greeting him.

Tonight, Yao Ye was dressed very formally, with a faint touch of rouge on her lips. Her red lips and white teeth, combined with a gentle smile, were very charming.

At the banquet, everyone looked at Gu Fei. Seeing the importance Jia Xingtian and Yao Ye placed on him, they all understood that the person before them was of extraordinary status.

They all knew that Gu Fei was the most important guest at tonight's party.

"[Mu Chen feels curious, emotion value +30]"

"[Nalan Su...]"

Gu Fei's gaze swept through the crowd, and a beautiful young girl suddenly caught his eye.

This young girl had a cold and striking appearance, with a beautiful and delicate face that seemed no less than that of the woman who had once disappointed Gu Fei.

She wore a long, moon-white robe with wide sleeves and a tight-fitting, trailing skirt. A light silver sash was tied around her slender waist, perfectly showcasing her delicate figure.

Green jade pendants hung from her tender earlobes, swaying slightly and emitting a crisp jade sound, abruptly revealing a touch of nobility.

She unexpectedly met Gu Fei's gaze, her eyes holding an undisguised curiosity.

"[Nalan Yanran feels curious, emotion value +80]"

Through the System's emotion value prompts, Gu Fei basically understood the identities of those present.

This time, after Nalan Yanran had digested the Medicinal Pill Yun Yun gave her and made a Breakthrough to Great Dou Master, she had rushed down from Yun Lan Mountain. Her purpose was to find an Alchemist who could detoxify her grandfather, Nalan Jie.

Years ago, Nalan Jie was bitten by a snake-like Demonic Beast, the Branding Iron Poison Python, while fighting it, and was poisoned by the Branding Snake's venom.

The Branding Poison was no ordinary venom. Records showed that it was not uncommon for Sixth-tier Demonic Beasts to be poisoned to death by a Branding Iron Poison Python, even across ranks. If not for their extremely rare numbers, many people on the continent would probably turn pale at the mention of them.

Although Nalan Jie had taken measures to slow the spread of the toxin, there was no cure. The Nalan Family could only watch Nalan Jie weaken day by day, on the verge of death.

However, in the Imperial Capital, even Great Master Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild, was powerless. According to Pill King Gu He, an exotic flame was necessary to cure Nalan Jie's poison.

Nalan Yanran's curiosity about Gu Fei was quickly suppressed by her worry for her grandfather.

She was in a bad mood, so she found a place to sit outside the banquet hall and drank alone.

She didn't, like other noblewomen of the Empire, gather around or approach Gu Fei... "Teacher, why are you here!"

Soon after, Nalan Yanran, who was sitting outside the banquet hall drinking alone, discovered that her Teacher, Yun Yun, had also come.

It turned out that Yun Yun, at the Cloud Mist Sect, had also heard about the Imperial Family inviting Gu Fei back, and she also knew that Gu Fei would attend this banquet.

After some internal struggle, she ultimately couldn't resist and decided to come here to see Gu Fei.

Tonight, Yun Yun's style of dress was different from usual. Like an ordinary noblewoman, she wore a relatively cool evening gown, showcasing a different kind of charm.

The elegant white color accentuated Yun Yun's ethereal temperament.

The hint of softness she revealed balanced her coldness, making her appear even more captivating.

"Teacher, what should I do? Grandfather is now lying in bed, on the verge of death, and even Great Master Fa Ma is powerless..."

Nalan Yanran had been drinking, and her emotions were impossible to hide. She spoke to her Teacher, Yun Yun, about her grandfather's situation.

Her face was filled with sorrow, and her voice choked up.

Yun Yun listened, remained silent for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly, a flicker of emotion in her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Yanran, did Gu He really say that as long as there's an exotic flame, your grandfather can be cured?"

Her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Gu Fei, who was surrounded by everyone in the hall.

Gu Fei was holding a shallow smile, full of youthful spirit, and Yun Yun's heart couldn't help but quicken slightly.

"Teacher, do you know who has an exotic flame?"

Nalan Yanran reacted very quickly to her words, sobering up considerably, and asked with surprise.
