63: Xun'er: Gu Fei, you're a liar, you didn't mean to let go

“Poof!”

As Gu Fei extended his palm, a faint flame ignited in his hand without wind, and the temperature in the room began to rise sharply.

Gu Fei flipped his palm, and the flame drilled directly into Nalan Jie’s body, covering a section of blackened bone.

“Ah…”

On the bed, Nalan Jie, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them, and a hoarse, painful roar came from his mouth, a ferocious Aura, as if a final burst of energy, reawakened.

“Old Master…”

Looking at the old man who suddenly opened his eyes and roared, Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su quickly called out.

“I am expelling the poison for you, there is no need to be afraid,” Gu Fei said indifferently, glancing at Nalan Jie, whose face was covered in sweat.

Nalan Jie felt the scorching abnormal fire within his body continuously incinerating the bone-marrow-like toxic flame.

However, the abnormal fire was truly too terrifying; after a long period of burning, his body could not withstand a single treatment, and his face grew even paler.

“Thank you, Great Master. Please use your full power, this old man can endure it…”

Nalan Jie understood and gritted his teeth in response. Although his willpower was strong, this kind of intense pain was not something willpower alone could bear; it could directly cause him to faint.

Seeing this, Gu Fei directly took out a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill from his storage ring. This Medicinal Pill could restore Origin Qi.

After Nalan Jie took it, his senses were renewed, and his internal injuries quickly recovered. He looked back at Gu Fei with considerable shock.

“Nalan Jie generated shock and gratitude emotions, emotion value +30.”

“Thank you, Great Master, for the medicine!” Nalan Jie said gratefully.

Next, Gu Fei controlled the abnormal fire, and with his excellent Soul control, he patiently incinerated those bones that had been corroded by the toxin, returning them to their jade-white appearance.

“Alright, there is no more toxic flame in your body.”

Nalan Jie let out a long breath of turbid Qi. Indeed, there was no longer any black mist lingering around him; his complexion was rosy, and his eyes were bright.

“Nalan Jie generated gratitude emotions, emotion value +30.”

“Great Master Gu Fei, your great kindness needs no words of thanks!”

Nalan Jie shouted with a voice like a great bell, then jumped off the bed and was about to perform a grand bow to Gu Fei.

Nalan Yanran’s eyes were already red. Seeing her grandfather recover, she covered her lips, sobbing excitedly.

“Nalan Yanran generated gratitude emotions, emotion value +80.”

“Nalan Su generated gratitude emotions, emotion value +30.”

“Dispense with it!”

Gu Fei waved his hand, and a gentle Dou Qi lifted Nalan Jie’s body, preventing him from kneeling.

“Great Master Gu Fei, if you don’t mind, would you consider resting at my residence for a few days? I would like to properly host you!”

Nalan Jie directly addressed Gu Fei as “brother,” speaking with great respect and politeness.

“Since the matter here is handled, I will take my leave,” Gu Fei rejected Nalan Jie’s invitation without hesitation.

He was familiar with Nalan Jie’s way of doing things; even if he was grateful now, if something were to happen to him in the future, Nalan Jie would quickly distance himself.

“Huh? So soon?”

“If Great Master Gu Fei ever needs help in the future, please do not hesitate to come find me.”

Nalan Jie was stunned and wanted to persuade him to stay, but seeing Gu Fei’s indifference, he could only swallow his words of retention and nodded with a smile.

Beside them, Nalan Yanran had left at some point and now returned to the room.

She walked in, holding a plant in a jade flowerpot.

As this plant appeared, the entire room was immediately filled with a faint, calming, exotic fragrance.

Smelling the exotic fragrance, Gu Fei’s gaze lingered on the plant in her hand.

The plant was entirely green, appearing as if carved from a fine piece of green jade.

At the top of the plant, a seven-colored flower was slowly blooming.

And as the flower unfolded, Gu Fei was somewhat surprised to find that the seven colors were also gradually changing, looking extremely brilliant!

“Young Master Gu Fei, my grandfather was poisoned after fighting that Demonic Beast because of this very thing. This item can restore Soul Power. As you are an Alchemist, you will surely find it useful. I hope you do not dislike it!”

Nalan Yanran adopted a very humble posture, offering the Spirit Medicine to Gu Fei with both hands.

“Mm!”

Gu Fei nodded and did not refuse. This Seven-Colored Azure Spirit Dew was indeed a good item for an Alchemist.

Besides, it was his deserved reward.

After putting away the Seven-Colored Azure Spirit Dew, Gu Fei did not want to waste any more time there.

Soon after, Nalan Jie led a group of people to see Gu Fei and his two companions to the entrance of the Nalan Family residence.

“Great Master Gu Fei, I will certainly repay this kindness in the future.”

“Nalan Jie generated gratitude emotions, emotion value +30.”

Nalan Jie said in a deep voice, his expression appearing quite serious and earnest.

Gu Fei smiled and nodded, then turned and left without hesitation.

The Young Miss, dressed in a moon-white long dress, lightly bit her lower lip, her gaze fixed on Gu Fei’s retreating figure for a long time, unable to recover her senses.

“Nalan Yanran generated curiosity emotions, emotion value +80.”

As a proud daughter of the Jia Ma Empire, it was the first time she had been so disregarded by a man of her generation, but the more Gu Fei acted this way, the more curious she became.

Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and beauties have also loved heroes. Gu Fei, being so outstanding, naturally attracted the hearts of some young maidens in spring.

Perhaps she was among them.

On a mountain peak hundreds of miles from Gama Emperor City.

A graceful and moving figure stood on the mountain peak. The maiden wistfully tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her brows furrowed.

Then, a figure landed beside her.

“Is there any news?” Xun'er inquired.

Recently, she and Ling Ying had been constantly traveling, tirelessly gathering information, searching for Spirit Medicine that could restore Xiao Yan’s Soul Power.

“Young Miss, we have found news. The Nalan Family in Gama Sacred City possesses a peculiar plant called the Seven-Colored Azure Spirit Dew. The roots and stems of this plant can be refined into an extremely profound liquid substance, and this substance is the best medicine for restoring Soul Power.”

Xun'er suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

However, she saw Ling Ying’s somewhat hesitant expression.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, a little nervously.

“However… that item has already been taken by Young Master Gu Fei.”

“The Nalan Family Patriarch was afflicted with the toxic flame, and the Nalan Family announced that whoever could cure their Patriarch of the toxic flame would be given that Spirit Medicine.”

“And Young Master Gu Fei went to the Nalan Family two days ago. Afterward, Nalan Jie recovered, and the Seven-Colored Azure Spirit Dew was given to Young Master Gu Fei by the Nalan Family.”

“He took it?”

Hearing this, Xun'er was somewhat surprised. How could it be such a coincidence?

She had just started looking for medicine to treat the Soul, and then she heard the news that the Seven-Colored Azure Spirit Dew had already been taken by Gu Fei.

Xun'er lowered her gaze, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and she murmured, “Didn’t he say he had let it go? But his current actions are still targeting me, targeting Brother Xiao Yan…”
