Chapter 22: Xun'er Returns to Wu Tan City!
Wu Tan City, Xiao Clan.
By this time, quite some time had passed since Xiao Yan left for his training journey.
Before he left, with Yao Lao's help, he left behind a large amount of pills for the Xiao Clan, allowing them to dominate the largest marketplace in the city.
For the Xiao Clan members, it was like rain after a long drought. Having been oppressed for so long, they were eager to become stronger.
With the large supply of pills Xiao Yan provided, the Xiao Clan quickly rose to become the most powerful family in Wu Tan City.
Today, news spread rapidly that Xun'er, who had left the family a year ago, had returned.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels
Xun'er rushed back to the Xiao Clan.
"Uncle Xiao!"
Upon seeing Xiao Zhan, she respectfully greeted Xiao Yan's father, just as she always had. After Xiao Zhan smiled and indicated that she needn't be so formal, Xun'er quickly lifted her head and asked eagerly, "Uncle Xiao, where is Brother Xiao Yan?"
Xiao Zhan was silent for a moment before saying, "Yan'er has been away for training for some time now."
Without further conversation, Xun'er quickly thanked Xiao Zhan and was ready to leave to search for Xiao Yan.
This time, Xun'er had secretly slipped away from the Gu Clan, accompanied not only by Ling Ying, an eight-star Dou Emperor, but also by a Dou Ancestor expert from the Gu Clan who was secretly following her.
After all, Xun'er was the apple of Gu Yuan's eye. As the clan leader, how could he not notice any movement within the Gu Realm?
The moment Xun'er planned to sneak away, he was already aware.
His daughter was growing up, and he couldn't control her forever. As a bird's wings grow stronger, it needs the sky to fly.
Gu Yuan sighed silently and chose to let her go, but there was no way he wouldn't send someone to ensure Xun'er's safety.
Thus, Ling Ying and another Dou Ancestor expert were sent to accompany Xun'er.
Moreover, if Xun'er ever faced a life-threatening situation, she only needed a second to crush the spatial jade slip she carried, summoning Gu Yuan from the Gu Realm.
Gu Yuan had gone to great lengths for this daughter, hoping that she would grow up safely.
He silently watched Xun'er's departing figure, letting out a long sigh.
Meanwhile, after some investigation, Xun'er quickly learned of Xiao Yan's whereabouts.
After some thought, she decided to head towards the Magical Beast Mountain Range with Ling Ying to find Xiao Yan.
...
He had hoped she would come to terms with it on her own, but it seemed impossible since her mind was prone to overthinking.
Gu Fei stepped forward and gently asked, "Little Fairy Doctor, are you worried about returning to Qingshan Town and facing the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's revenge?"
His tone was warm as he fixed his gaze on Little Fairy Doctor. She hesitated for a moment.
"Yes, sir, you may not know, but the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is the most powerful in Qingshan Town. Now that their deputy leader is dead, they won't let it go. Besides, Mu Li was
the leader's son."
Little Fairy Doctor nodded, openly admitting her worry.
She was deeply concerned. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group was ruthless, and those who crossed them rarely fared well.
Now that their deputy leader had mysteriously died, the revenge would be even more
terrifying.
Gu Fei smiled calmly and said, "You don't need to worry. Rest assured, I will take care of
everything."
"Next, I will appear to leave, but I'll actually stay in Qingshan Town for a few days. If anyone
dares to harm you, I'll deal with them."
Gu Fei paused.
"All you need to do is be the Little Fairy Doctor. Leave everything else to me."

Little Fairy Doctor stared at Gu Fei in a daze. His confident tone made her feel warm surge of
security.
Gu Fei looked down at the purple-haired, purple-eyed girl. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, as if she was about to cry.
In Qingshan Town, everyone respected Little Fairy Doctor, but no one had ever told her, "All
you need to do is be the Little Fairy Doctor. Leave everything else to me."
Little Fairy Doctor's throat tightened, her long-forgotten heartbeat quickening.

She said nothing more, her expression much calmer, as she followed Gu Fei down the
mountain.
