89: The jealousy of the little medical fairy!

Cao Ying felt curious and puzzled, gaining 40 emotion points.

Cao Ying's gaze fixed on Gu Fei's retreating figure. With a slender hand, she tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, her red lips pressed together slightly.

"Elder Li, what exactly did that Gu Fei want from Master just now?"

Only after Gu Fei's figure disappeared around the corner did Cao Ying withdraw her gaze and turn to Elder Li, asking curiously.

"That... I'm not entirely sure, Elder. The President is inside; why don't you ask him yourself?" Elder Li shook his head.

Cao Ying frowned, acknowledged his words, and with her skirt billowing, walked towards the main hall.

Inside the main hall, Xuan Kongzi stood with his back to Cao Ying, his gaze thoughtfully fixed out the window. A sharp glint flashed in his seemingly aged eyes.

"Master, what was the purpose of that person's visit just now?" After entering and greeting Xuan Kongzi, Cao Ying impatiently asked about Gu Fei.

Normally, Cao Ying wouldn't be so curious about everyone Xuan Kongzi met.

However, Gu Fei gave her an extraordinary feeling, and this wasn't solely due to Elder Li's address for Gu Fei.

It was also her own intuition!

Xuan Kongzi turned around and said calmly, "That young man just now wanted to try and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame."

Hearing this, a rare hint of surprise appeared in Cao Ying's usually charming and captivating eyes. She couldn't help but straighten up slightly, her brows furrowed in a questioning manner.

"So many Seniors of the Pill Tower haven't been able to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame; can he do it?"

"From his demeanor, he seems full of confidence, and I'm quite optimistic about him!"

Xuan Kongzi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Cao Ying fell silent for a moment. She hadn't expected her Master to have so much confidence in that Gu Fei. What abilities did he possess?

"Ying'er, that young man's Realm has already reached the Dou Zun Realm..."

Xuan Kongzi said slowly.

Hearing this, Cao Ying was stunned. She had never imagined that Gu Fei, so young, possessed such formidable cultivation.

But that wasn't all; Xuan Kongzi's subsequent words shocked Cao Ying even more.

"Furthermore, his Soul Power is also very strong, and his Alchemist attainments should be very high."

Cao Ying couldn't help but gasp, vaguely realizing something.

To be personally praised by Master for having strong Soul Power, this Gu Fei was truly extraordinary.

She narrowed her eyes, and a thought suddenly popped into her head: could that Gu Fei actually be a powerful being skilled in maintaining youthful appearance?

"Ying'er, originally with your talent, you were among the best in this Pill Domain, but compared to him, you are still far behind!"

"Master, could it be... that he is a Senior?"

She asked rather tactfully, still a bit unwilling to give up.

As a Genius rarely seen in the entire Holy Pill City and the Pill Tower.

Cao Ying was naturally proud.

She had been a leader among the younger generation for several years. Now, a Prodigy more powerful than her had appeared out of nowhere, and Cao Ying naturally didn't want to admit it.

Xuan Kongzi stared at Cao Ying for a long while, then slowly shook his head.

This denied Cao Ying's idea.

Xuan Kongzi was very certain that Gu Fei had not used any youthful appearance techniques.

He was genuinely young!

Cao Ying couldn't hide the shock in her heart, her beautiful eyes slightly widened. She hadn't expected Master to praise that person so highly.

She took a difficult deep breath, a terrifying guess forming in her mind.

"Master, could it be... that person has already reached the Advanced Seventh-Rank Alchemist Realm?"

She asked doubtfully, a strange emotion in her heart.

Xuan Kongzi shook his head, his eyes meaningful.

"Not Seventh-Rank. His Soul Power has already stepped into the true Spirit Realm..."

"Spirit Realm?"

"How is that possible!"

Cao Ying's breathing quickened, her chest rising and falling sharply, revealing an alluring curve. Her red lips trembled slightly, feeling incredulous.

Gu Fei seemed to be of similar age to her, yet he was such a Prodigy. This dealt a huge blow to the always confident Cao Ying.

She disbelievingly took a few steps back, then found an excuse and hastily left.

She really wanted to understand Gu Fei.

As Cao Ying departed, Xuan Kongzi let out a long sigh.

Not long after, two other figures appeared in the main hall.

One was a black-clad Elder with quite dark skin, his face tightly drawn, giving off a stern, unsmiling impression.

The other was a beautiful woman in a cheongsam. Her age might not have been younger than Xuan Kongzi's, but her appearance resembled that of a woman around thirty years old.

Her expression was serene, subtly imbued with the charm of years of experience.

These two were also leading figures of the Pill Tower: Tian Leizi and Xuan Yi.

At this moment, the three leading figures gathered. Xuan Kongzi explained the situation in a few concise words.

After hearing Xuan Kongzi's words, Tian Leizi's first reaction was to refuse.

"How can the Pill Tower's rules be easily violated?"

"I know what you mean, but for so many years, no one has been able to refine it, and it still requires us to keep a constant watch on it."

"At least, he is the most promising person I have seen in all these years."

The usually silent Xuan Yi, upon hearing this, seriously gazed at the starry sky outside the window for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Since you say so, we can consider it."

Tian Leizi on the side hesitated. This was the first time he had seen Xuan Kongzi speak so highly of a young man.

"If his identity isn't a problem, then let him try!"

Tian Leizi compromised, but he still wanted to confirm Gu Fei's identity.

So, they sent people to inquire about Gu Fei's information: when he arrived, which inn he was staying at, and his accompanying personnel.

However, they found Venerable Skyfire, this Dou Zun, to be a stranger, someone they had never seen before.

"Gu Fei, surname Gu..."

When these words were mentioned, the three exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a strange expression.

"Could it be... this person truly comes from that ancient, mysterious great clan?"

Tian Leizi affirmed Xuan Kongzi's guess in his heart and no longer voiced any objections.

Ultimately, after some discussion, they decided to let Gu Fei try, to forge a good relationship.

After all, the Pill Tower had long wanted someone to deal with the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Keeping it in the Star Domain required the three of them to constantly maintain its Seal.

As for whether Gu Fei would succeed, that was no longer their concern... On the other side, Gu Fei had already returned to the inn. On the way, he thoughtfully bought a dessert for Xiao Yi Xian.

"So sweet..."

Eating delicious food right after waking up, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but show a sweet smile on her face.

Xiao Yi Xian felt attached, gaining 100 emotion points.

Beside them, Qing Lin's gaze kept shifting between Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Fei.

This made Gu Fei rub his nose and turn his gaze away, feeling a bit guilty, as if he was afraid Qing Lin would ask the previous question again.

Seeing Gu Fei's reaction, Xiao Yi Xian chuckled, because Qing Lin had also asked her earlier about the two of them 'practicing'.

"Qing Lin, have some with us!"

So, Xiao Yi Xian chose to sacrifice some of the delicious food to silence Qing Lin.

After the two finished eating, since they all had nothing to do, Gu Fei decided to take Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to explore Holy Pill City, also waiting for the Pill Tower to make its final decision.

"Big Brother Gu Fei, Sister Xiao Yi Xian, let's go look over there!"

The streets of Holy Pill City were indeed bustling, with shouts and the aroma of food everywhere.

Qing Lin's pupils widened excitedly. Seeing something that caught her interest, she tugged at their sleeves, wanting to go in that direction.

Suddenly, behind their group, a lazy and charming female voice was heard.

"Young Master Gu Fei, what a coincidence! I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!"

Gu Fei turned around to look.

The person was none other than Cao Ying. She was wearing the same black dress as before, which accentuated her fair, jade-like skin and exquisitely delicate features.

"Uh..."

Gu Fei was momentarily stunned.

Cao Ying said it was a chance encounter, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like she had actively sought him out.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin also turned around. At first glance, both of them noticed that the speaker was a great beauty.

She stood there, attracting the gaze of countless people around them.

Recalling Cao Ying's words just now, Xiao Yi Xian slowly glanced at Gu Fei and asked in a low voice, "Do you two know each other?"

Cao Ying's outstanding beauty, coupled with her words, made Xiao Yi Xian feel a bit sensitive.
