Chapter 9: The Truth Revealed!



Gu Fei was known for his kindness and humility, and his love for Xun'er ran deep. Even though Xun'er had hurt him, Gu Fei, despite his pain, would never stoop to killing Xiao Yan.

Some kind-hearted members of the Gu clan tried to persuade Xun'er.

"Miss Xun'er, could there be a misunderstanding?"

"Yes, how could Brother Gu Fei possibly want to harm someone?"

Seeing everyone around her defending Gu Fei, Xun'er stomped her foot in frustration, her eyes reddening.

"None of you believe me?"

"Gu Fei is clearly jealous of Xiao Yan, so he wants to destroy him!"

Angry and losing control, Xun'er blurted out her thoughts. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them.

Xun'er experiences regret, emotion value +100

However, regret was futile. Once words are spoken, they can't be taken back.

Xun'er's voice wasn't loud, but with her Dou Qi infused into it, Gu Fei heard everything clearly from the top of the mountain.

Faced with Xun'er's accusations and unreasonable behavior, even the normally mild- tempered Gu Fei began to feel annoyed. However, this only strengthened his resolve to go through with the divorce.

Today, Xun'er could come and accuse him based on an unfounded claim. Tomorrow, would she bring Xiao Yan to his mountain openly?

Gu Fei sneered, glancing down the mountain slowly. He then shut the window, ignoring the furious Xun'er.

Gu Fei didn't bother to explain anything.

When one is determined to find fault, any excuse will suffice.

He had never done what he was accused of, but if Xun'er believed he did, then so be it.

Let her be the unreasonable one.

It was just getting too noisy.

Gu Fei sighed and set up a formation around his house, restoring the silence inside.

Who was Gu Yao, and who was Xiao Yan?

Xiao Yan belonged to a declining clan. If it weren't for Xun'er pressing the matter, Gu Yuan wouldn't have bothered to investigate.

A giant stepping on an ant-who would care?

Even if Gu Yao's men had succeeded in killing Xiao Yan, someone like Gu Yuan, the leader of a reclusive powerful clan, wouldn't care.

Moreover, Gu Yao told him that Xiao Yan wasn't dead.

His subordinates reported that Xiao Yan was gravely injured and missing, seemingly saved by

a mysterious expert.

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised by this.

According to his intelligence, Xiao Yan's current strength wasn't worth his attention.

Furthermore, neither the Xiao clan nor the entire Wu Tan City had a supreme expert.

Who was the powerful figure behind Xiao Yan?

But Gu Yuan quickly dismissed this from his mind, as he was busy with many other things.

He had already gone out of his way for Xun'er by looking into this. Thinking of his headstrong daughter, Gu Yuan sighed deeply. Because of this incident, Xun'er refused to believe her husband.

She had once wanted to mend her relationship with Gu Fei.

Now, she ignored all evidence and stubbornly blamed Gu Fei.

'If it weren't for Gu Fei, how could Brother Xiao Yan be gravely injured, or even go missing?'

Xun'er glared angrily at the distant house at the top of the mountain.

Gu Fei, who had been staying in his house for several days, confirmed that the Sea-Boosting pill was in perfect condition.

Feeling satisfied, he began to repair his house, which had been wrecked by the Pill Lightning.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had been refining medicine to pass the time, and was reminded of the one-month cooling-off period for divorce, which he found absurd. Now that more than a month had passed, it was time to find Gu Yuan again.

Gu Fei couldn't believe that after everything, Gu Yuan would still dare to use his position as clan leader to pressure him.
