95: Xiao Yan: Teacher, do you think I still have a chance?

"Young Gu Fei, this old man is heading back now. You should also bring your new wife back to the clan soon!"

"Also, be sure to pay attention to your safety!"

Gu Xiong smiled and patted Gu Fei's shoulder, then gently waved his palm in the Void Realm, and a spatial rift appeared beside him.

"Don't worry, old man, I'll be careful. I'll be back in a while!"

Watching Gu Xiong step into the spatial rift, Gu Fei responded casually.

Soon, that spatial rift quietly healed, as if nothing had happened.

"Young Gu Fei, since the Three Thousand Burning Flame has been taken away, let's go out!"

Now, when Xuan Kongzi spoke to Gu Fei, he was even more polite than before.

"Mm!"

Gu Fei nodded, then followed Xuan Kongzi and Qiu Ling out of the Star Domain.

The Star Domain when they left seemed to have changed from when they first entered.

Stars twinkled everywhere, and it seemed that with the disappearance of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, this Star Domain truly emitted a brilliant radiance.

Outside the Pill Tower, in the huge plaza, a crowd had gathered, most of them wearing Alchemist robes.

Because they had heard the news that someone was going to attempt to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame, many people had gathered here, wanting to know the result.

After a while, in the sky above the Pill Tower, the silver spatial gate suddenly fluctuated.

Immediately after, Xuan Kongzi, Qiu Ling, and Gu Fei walked out of the gate in succession.

"He came out so quickly, it seems he failed. I said long ago that this Young Master overestimated himself a bit. Only I, Song Qing, can truly subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame..."

In the crowd, the young man who had previously been jealous of Cao Ying and Gu Fei chatting, now spoke gloatingly to the person beside him.

"That's right, only Big Brother Song Qing can subdue that Three Thousand Burning Flame!"

The man next to him said fawningly.

At this time, some people who were unaware of the situation within the Star Domain all thought that Gu Fei had failed.

After all, Gu Fei had been in the Star Domain for a very short time, and in their perception, it was impossible for anyone to refine the fierce Three Thousand Burning Flame in such a short period.

"Young Master Gu Fei, although you failed this time, this young lady believes that in a few years, you will definitely be able to successfully subdue it!"

Unlike Song Qing's gloating expression, Cao Ying walked up to Gu Fei and sincerely offered him words of encouragement.

"Hmph, what's so good about him? Isn't it just that he entered the Soul Realm earlier? I'll be able to enter that Realm sooner or later..."

Watching the woman he secretly admired being so attentive to Gu Fei, Song Qing clenched his fists, and his face instantly became somewhat distorted.

However, what Xuan Kongzi said next made everyone's expressions change.

Xuan Kongzi cleared his throat, his face solemn. He walked to the front of the crowd, his gaze paused for a moment, and he spoke loudly: "Everyone, the Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Star Domain has been taken away. From now on, the reward for the Pill Gathering winner will no longer include subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flame!"

Xuan Kongzi did not explicitly state the fate of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, because Ancient Race like these did not want their affairs to be spread by too many people.

"It was taken away?"

Cao Ying looked at Gu Fei beside her in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with incredible reverence.

Because she was unaware of what had happened in the Star Domain, Cao Ying naturally assumed that Gu Fei had subdued and refined the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

"How is this possible?"

Not far away, Song Qing, who had originally been gloating, suddenly turned dark, looking as ugly as if he had eaten excrement.

Seeing the restless crowd, Gu Fei did not stay long. He politely cupped his hands towards Xuan Kongzi, then ignored Cao Ying, who wanted to come over and congratulate him, and left directly.

[Cao Ying experiences embarrassment and slight disappointment, emotional value +60]

"Gu Fei..."

Cao Ying's hand hovered in mid-air, her mouth slightly open, her smile gradually freezing.

She stared blankly at Gu Fei's departing back, not understanding why she felt this emotion, subconsciously not wanting Gu Fei to leave.

"No matter what, as long as you're not married yet, I still have a chance..."

A moment later, Cao Ying's eyes gradually became firm again.

On Gu Fei's side, after leaving the Pill Tower, he walked directly towards the outer Domain.

Along the way, he still packed some desserts for Xiao Yi Xian and the Qing Lin girl.

"Big Brother Gu Fei, you're back so soon!"

Seeing Gu Fei return, Qing Lin was very surprised, because when he left in the morning, he had said that he might be gone for a long time this time.

"Something changed, so I came back early... Where's Xiao Yi Xian? Has she not woken up yet?"

Gu Fei said, pushing open Xiao Yi Xian's door and walking in.

Inside the room, a poisonous mist diffused. In the center of the room, there was a bathtub, and Xiao Yi Xian was soaking in it.

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian's expression was slightly painful, and her face was covered in glistening sweat.

Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's condition, it was clear that she had used too much poison. Even with the poison pill absorbing and converting the poisonous energy, she was still somewhat uncomfortable.

"Brother Gu Fei, please wait a little longer, I'll be ready soon!"

Xiao Yi Xian was clearly surprised by Gu Fei's early return.

"No rush, just slowly convert the toxins!"

Gu Fei waved his hand, signaling Xiao Yi Xian to continue, then walked directly to the bathtub.

He knew that Xiao Yi Xian was now very eager to improve her Cultivation.

That's why she took the risk of injecting a large amount of poison at once, to the point where she couldn't convert it in time... Northwest Continent, Tagor Desert.

"Teacher, it seems that the exotic flame has most likely been taken by that fellow riding the sixth-tier Demonic Beast, Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

Xiao Yan hid behind a sand dune, communicating with the Soul of Old Yao in the storage ring.

At this time, he had already delved deep into the Snake-People Tribe Domain and had inquired about some of the things that had happened in the Snake-People Tribe Holy City earlier.

Moreover, Xiao Yan had previously passed through Stone Desert City, where his elder and second brothers were, and had also discovered the passage leading to the underground magma lake.

"It should be. The person who took the exotic flame is probably that Gu Fei, whom that girl mentioned. Although you've never met him, you've indirectly dealt with him quite a bit!"

Old Yao nodded and said.

"Then what should I do? The exotic flame here is gone. I can't just go and snatch it from him, can I?"

Xiao Yan said helplessly: "That's no different from seeking death!"

He had personally heard a Gu Clan Elder say that Gu Fei was a Dou Zun powerhouse.

"Don't worry. Although the exotic flame here is gone, this teacher knows another place where an exotic flame is hidden. That exotic flame will be of great help to your Cultivation!"

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was somewhat disheartened because the exotic flame had been taken, Old Yao spoke to encourage him. His plan, of course, was to scheme for the Fallen Heart Flame, which ranked fourteenth.

"Where to?"

"Jia Nan Academy!"

"Isn't that the place where I took a year off before? It's been more than two years now. I wonder if the Academy will still take me!"

Hearing the location Old Yao mentioned, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"It's fine..."

"With your Cultivation progress, Jia Nan Academy should not turn you away!"

Old Yao said with great confidence: "When the time is right, I will take you to get the exotic flame!"
