61: Master Yunyun, do you think you are old and yellow?

Gu Fei refused him three times without mercy; even someone with the thickest skin would feel embarrassed by now.

What's more, Nalan Yanran's nature was not stable enough to begin with. She bit her lip, feeling very awkward under the gaze of familiar faces around her.

[Nalan Yanran developed a feeling of unease, Emotional Value +80]

However, Gu Fei was her only lifeline at the moment, so she dared not lose her temper with him, only looking at Gu Fei with a wronged expression.

Facing the scene of a beauty frowning, her limpid autumn eyes seemingly on the verge of tears, Gu Fei's expression remained unchanged as he chatted and laughed with the few people beside him.

He didn't even spare her another glance. Completely ignored, Nalan Yanran, due to her embarrassment, could only wrinkle her small face and scurry out of the banquet hall.

Yun Yun still sat quietly in her original spot, her posture unchanged.

She gently swirled the deep red wine in a transparent glass. Reflected in such a color, her cool and elegant face appeared even more rosy.

Nalan Yanran flew over like a butterfly, directly pouncing into Yun Yun's embrace.

She lifted her powdered face, her pretty cheeks flushed with annoyance, her eyes slightly red, biting her lower lip, looking very wronged.

"Master, no matter how much I humble myself, Young Master Gu Fei refuses to agree. What should I do?"

She murmured, her eyes full of desolation.

Seeing Nalan Yanran's state, Yun Yun felt very distressed.

She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and made a decision.

Yun Yun intended to personally ask Gu Fei, which she considered her duty as a Master for her disciple.

During the banquet, just as toasts were being exchanged, a battle fluctuation suddenly came from the sky above the Imperial Capital.

Gu Fei looked around and found that Jia Xingtian had long since disappeared.

He pondered for a moment and realized that Jia Xingtian had probably discovered that Hai Bodong was still alive and couldn't resist engaging him in combat.

In the dark night sky, several streaks of light flashed past, like shooting stars.

Everyone couldn't help but be drawn to the distant, grand battle and went to watch.

There, it seemed to be the Imperial Royal Mausoleum in the Imperial Capital, usually very secluded.

Unexpectedly, two Dou Huang powerhouses suddenly appeared tonight.

Only two large light clusters were seen in the sky, one white and one yellow, and the two terrifying auras emanated precisely from these two light clusters.

The light clusters moved nimbly, flashing and soaring, with two figures faintly visible in their centers.

Each time the light clusters made contact, a fierce energy ripple would erupt.

The dark night sky in the area above the mausoleum was almost completely dispelled, becoming as bright as day.

The white light cluster carried an incomparable icy aura. Whenever energy fluctuated, the moisture in the air around the white light cluster would condense into hard ice.

Unlike the white light cluster, the yellow light cluster subtly exuded a sense of solidity and steadiness, like the earth.

"Haha, old Ice Emperor, I didn't expect that after decades of not seeing you, your strength has regressed instead of advancing. Your ice attacks back then, even I had to be wary of them, but now their power is greatly diminished."

After another fierce collision, an old laugh came from the yellow light cluster.

"Hmph, old monster, you haven't made much progress over these years either, have you? Considering your age, it seems you're also nearing your limit. If you don't Breakthrough soon, I'm afraid your end will come. At that time, without your protection, the Jia Ma Empire Royal Family won't be so peaceful!" The figure in the white light cluster snorted coldly and said.

"This... could it be the Ice Emperor?"

When someone mentioned this name, once prominent in the Jia Ma Empire, everyone's expressions changed.

Unexpectedly, the Ice Emperor, who had disappeared for so long, was not dead and could still fight evenly with Elder Jia.

This battle was exhilarating for both of them. Gu Fei naturally had no interest in watching the two fight. Seeing that most of the people at the banquet had already dispersed, he took Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin back to the Imperial Palace.

He had noticed Xiao Yi Xian's depressed look early on, and now was a good time to leave quickly.

During this period, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had experienced the life of wealthy nobles that they hadn't before, and both were very happy.

After Gu Fei sent them back to their rooms, he said goodnight and then left.

When Gu Fei returned alone to the room Jia Xingtian had arranged for him, a beautiful figure appeared outside his room.

"Come in!"

With his Soul perception, the entire Imperial Palace was within his grasp.

Gu Fei had long noticed someone following him and knew that the person following him was Yun Yun. He waved his hand, and the room door automatically opened.

"Gu Fei, we meet again. I didn't expect you to come to the Imperial Capital!"

Yun Yun stood at the doorway, still wearing that cool evening gown, which made her look noble and delicate.

At this moment, she looked up at Gu Fei, greeting him with a complex expression.

"Didn't you see me at the banquet earlier? Why didn't you come over to say hello when you saw an old friend? Is our acquaintance something that shouldn't be seen by others?"

Gazing at Yun Yun, Gu Fei couldn't help but tease her.

He had received a System notification early on, and after a slight perception, he had detected Yun Yun's aura outside the banquet hall.

It was just that this woman always drank alone outside, yet was unwilling to come in and say hello to him.

[Yun Yun developed a feeling of panic, Emotional Value +100]

"No, I just felt that it was a banquet for young people!"

Yun Yun's cheeks flushed faintly, and she explained somewhat flustered. She hadn't expected that Gu Fei had discovered her long ago.

"What, Sect Master Yun Yun, do you think you're past your prime?"

Gu Fei raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile on his lips, continuing to joke.

"Gu Fei, do you really think so?"

[Yun Yun developed a feeling of loss, Emotional Value +100]

Hearing this, Yun Yun's expression dimmed, and a trace of desolation flashed across her originally gentle eyes.

She clearly cared deeply about Gu Fei's opinion of her.

"Haha, just kidding!"

Seeing Yun Yun take it seriously, Gu Fei quickly explained with a smile: "How can those naive girls compare to you? In my opinion, your beauty and temperament are like an immortal descending from the moon."

It was indeed true. In terms of knowledge and experience, Yun Yun far surpassed those naive girls. As soon as she appeared, the natural maturity and distinction she exuded would attract everyone's attention.

[Yun Yun developed feelings of awkwardness and shyness, Emotional Value +100]

After saying this, Gu Fei continued: "You're here about Nalan Yanran, aren't you?"

Because of the previous joke, and Gu Fei's compliment just now, Yun Yun gave Gu Fei a resentful look, then lightly bit her red lip, hesitating as she said: "Gu Fei, please help Yanran!"

"I know you've already helped me so much, and this request of mine is a bit excessive, but if Yanran's grandfather really dies, she will be very sad..."

She had watched Yanran grow up, and of course, she only wished her well. Seeing Yanran so sad, Yun Yun also felt a little unbearable.

"Since you've come forward, I can agree to make a move once!"

Gu Fei stared at Yun Yun for a long time, then nodded and agreed to provide treatment.
