94: I hope the new granddaughter-in-law is more sensible than Xun'er!

The originally ferocious Three Thousand Burning Flame, in Gu Xiong's hands, was like a soft ball of cotton, without the slightest power to resist.

“Thank you, Senior Xuan Kongzi, for your generous gift!”

After Gu Xiong took the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Gu Fei, with a smile on his face, turned to Xuan Kongzi and thanked him.

[Xuan Kongzi felt speechless and embarrassed, Emotion Value +40]

Gu Fei’s words made Xuan Kongzi’s mouth twitch, and his eyes involuntarily showed some helplessness.

How was it his generous gift?

This was clearly a robbery!

Facing a three-star Dou Saint expert, how would Xuan Kongzi dare to say half a word of no.

Of course, Xuan Kongzi did not show any of these complaining emotions.

“Ultimately, Young Gu Fei, you have a destiny with this Three Thousand Burning Flame!”

Xuan Kongzi nodded amiably at Gu Fei; now that it had come to this, the more open his words were, the heavier this Gu Clan's goodwill would be.

“Yes, indeed, it’s very fated!”

Gu Fei also echoed with a smile.

“This fellow, his tone changed so quickly!”

The Grand Elder Qiu Ling, who was beside them, had a strange expression, because he had previously heard Gu Fei say that destiny and such were all nonsense.

“Young Gu Fei, when do you plan to return to the Gu Clan?”

[Gu Xiong felt worried, Emotion Value +10]

Gu Xiong glanced at the Three Thousand Burning Flame, then casually gripped it in one hand, turning to ask Gu Fei.

He asked this question purely out of concern for Gu Fei's safety.

Because Gu Xiong had heard before that there were Hun Clan experts appearing in the places where Gu Fei was cultivating.

That Hun Clan expert's brief passage in the sky outside the Jia Ma Empire was detected by the Gu Clan Elder who was following Gu Fei.

Although the Hun Clan expert's and Gu Fei's paths did not overlap, there were traces of the Hun Clan in many places where Gu Fei cultivated.

Gu Fei was the person with the purest Bloodline in the Gu Clan for a thousand years, and he was of extraordinary significance to the Gu Clan, absolutely not to be lost.

If he were discovered by the Hun Clan while wandering outside, there was no guarantee they wouldn't do something insane.

The Hun Clan had been recuperating for nearly a thousand years, and recently, they seemed to be starting some major actions again, so precautions had to be taken.

Therefore, Gu Xiong asked this question out of concern for Gu Fei's safety; it wasn't to rush Gu Fei, but merely to give him a reminder.

Although Gu Fei possessed monstrous talent, having already reached the Dou Zun Realm at the age of seventeen, he would still not fare well if he encountered the older generation of Hun Clan experts.

Only by staying in the Ancient World could he be absolutely safe.

“Grandpa Gu Xiong, originally I intended to return after taking the Three Thousand Burning Flame, but now, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait a while longer!”

Hearing Gu Xiong’s caring words, Gu Fei replied with a smile.

Now, he was no longer alone; many people had joined his side.

If he were to return, Gu Fei would definitely bring Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin with him.

He wanted to bring Xiao Yi Xian home, hoping that he and his beloved would receive the approval and blessings of his Elders.

And with Gu Fei’s status, the Elders in the Clan would certainly have high demands for the wife he chose.

His reluctance to return, aside from wanting to Cultivate, was because he worried that if Xiao Yi Xian returned with him now, she would suffer inexplicable grievances later.

In the Gu Clan, the strong were respected.

Although Xiao Yi Xian had begun to Cultivate, her Realm was rapidly ascending due to her Calamity Poison Body, but no matter what, she could not compare to the young generation of the Gu Clan who had steadily Cultivated for more than a decade.

If she could not win over the masses, even if the Gu Clan Elders did not speak, other people or events would appear to make Xiao Yi Xian leave him.

Gu Fei’s expression did not change; his gaze unconsciously fell on a certain spot beyond the Star Domain.

“Young man, are you worried that the Clan won’t accept my new granddaughter-in-law?”

Seeing Gu Fei’s changing expression, Gu Xiong suddenly laughed heartily and asked.

At this moment, Gu Fei finally confirmed one thing.

Even Grandpa Gu Xiong, an Elder who had long guarded the ancestral hall, knew so clearly about him and Xiao Yi Xian, which meant that throughout his journey, there had been Gu Clan Seniors escorting him.

Most of his experiences during his cultivation should be known to the people in the Clan.

Then they probably also knew who Xiao Yi Xian was.

Gu Fei was uncharacteristically anxious, his gaze fleetingly wandering before settling on Gu Xiong.

He didn't know what attitude this Grandpa Gu Xiong, who had doted on him since childhood, would have.

“The Calamity Poison Body, which had never Cultivated before, reached Dou Ling within a year. This talent is actually not bad…”

Gu Xiong continued to add, and Gu Fei heard him clearly; there was no dissatisfaction with Xiao Yi Xian in his tone.

“You just bring her back; what other people in the Clan think doesn’t matter!”

“As long as you, young man, like her, that’s enough!”

Gu Xiong stepped forward, smilingly patted Gu Fei's shoulder, his words exuding dominance and doting affection for Gu Fei.

After all, he was a child he had watched grow up. Even though the Clan Elders spoke daily about finding a suitable wife for Gu Fei, one with comparable talent and family background to be his capable helper, Gu Xiong never thought so.

He couldn't stand the other Elders' self-righteous “concern” like this.

Although they were truly doing it for Gu Fei's good, they never asked him what he wanted.

Therefore, Gu Fei having a new beloved made Gu Xiong very happy for him, and he didn't care about his beloved's strength, appearance, or family background; as long as Gu Fei liked her, that was enough.

If those old fellows dared to object, he would be the first to stand up and support Gu Fei.

Moreover, Gu Xiong knew that since Gu Fei already had a new beloved, he had moved on from Xun'er's matter.

“I hope this new granddaughter-in-law won’t be like that willful girl Xun'er, hurting Young Gu Fei’s heart…”

Gu Xiong sighed inwardly.

“Grandpa Gu Xiong, you are truly reasonable!”

Hearing Gu Xiong’s words, Gu Fei replied with a smile, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Such reasonable Elders were rare.

Next, Gu Fei’s gaze fell upon the docile Three Thousand Burning Flame in Gu Xiong’s hand, paused for a moment, and then he spoke.

“This Three Thousand Burning Flame, I request Grandpa Gu Xiong to take it back to the Clan for safekeeping. When I have the strength to refine it, I will return to deal with this fire! In the future, I will surely make it serve me!”

Gu Fei spoke earnestly; with his current strength, refining the Three Thousand Burning Flame was still too dangerous, and he did not want to take the risk.

[Gu Xiong felt appreciative, Emotion Value +10]

“Haha, Young Gu Fei, I must say, your talent in controlling flames is even stronger than those of the Yan Clan!”

“I, an old man, have never heard of anyone being able to refine three different fires simultaneously!”

Gu Xiong praised, his face full of smiles. In Gu Xiong’s impression, even Yan Jin, the Yan Clan Chief, had only refined two different fires.

And Gu Fei was already planning to Fuse a fourth different fire; such a method astonished even the well-traveled Gu Xiong.
