Chapter 61: Do You Think You're Past Your Prime?



Gu Fei mercilessly rejected her request again and again. Even someone with the thickest skin would feel embarrassed at this point. Nalan Yanran, who was never the most composed to begin with, bit her lip, feeling deeply uncomfortable under the gaze of familiar faces around her.

However, Gu Fei was her only hope for saving her grandfather. She couldn't afford to lose her temper with him, so she simply looked at him with a pitiful expression.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

But Gu Fei remained unfazed, his face calm as he continued chatting and laughing with those around him. He didn't even spare her another glance. Feeling utterly ignored, Nalan Yanran, now deeply embarrassed, scrunched her face in frustration and quickly fled the banquet hall.

Yun Yun still sat quietly in her place, not having moved a muscle. She gently swirled the crimson wine in her glass, her cool and delicate face appearing even more flushed in the reflection of the red liquid.

Nalan Yanran, like a butterfly, fluttered over and fell directly into Yun Yun's embrace. She lifted her flushed face, eyes slightly reddened, and with her lips tightly pressed together, she looked utterly aggrieved.

"Master, no matter how humble I made myself, Young Master Gu Fei refused to help. What should I do?" she murmured, her eyes full of disappointment.

Seeing Nalan Yanran in such a state, Yun Yun felt a deep pang of sorrow. She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and made a decision. Yun Yun resolved to ask Gu Fei personally, fulfilling her duty as a master for her disciple.

At the banquet, just as the guests were exchanging drinks, a battle suddenly broke out in the sky above the imperial capital. Gu Fei glanced around and noticed that Jia Xing Tian had disappeared long ago. After pondering for a moment, he realized that Jia Xing Tian had probably discovered that Hai Bodong was still alive and couldn't resist fighting him.

In the dark night sky, several beams of light shot across like meteors. Everyone was drawn to the intense battle and went to watch. The battle seemed to be taking place near the imperial mausoleum, a usually secluded area of the capital. Yet tonight, it had suddenly become the battleground for two Dou Emperor experts.

In the sky, two massive orbs of light- one white and one yellow-emitted terrifying auras. Within these light orbs, the silhouettes of two figures could be seen, clashing with each other. Every time the light orbs collided, a fierce wave of energy rippled outwards, turning the dark night over the mausoleum into a scene as bright as day.

"Why, Sect Leader Yun Yun, do you think you're past your prime?" Gu Fei raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips as he continued to joke.

"Gu Fei, do you really think that?"

Yun Yun's expression dimmed, a touch of sadness crossing her usually warm eyes. It was clear she cared deeply about Gu Fei's opinion.

"Hehe, I was just joking!" Seeing her take his words seriously, Gu Fei quickly smiled and explained, "How could those young girls compare to you? In my eyes, your beauty and grace are like a celestial being descending to the moon."

And it was true. Yun Yun's experience and poise far surpassed those young girls. Every time she appeared, the maturity and elegance she naturally exuded could capture everyone's

attention.

After saying this, Gu Fei continued, "You're here because of Nalan Yanran, aren't you?"

Still feeling a mix of emotions from the earlier joke and Gu Fei's compliment, Yun Yun glanced at him with a hint of resentment before lightly biting her lip and hesitating. "Gu Fei, please help Yanran. I know you've already helped me a lot, and I know this request is excessive, but... if Yanran's grandfather dies, she'll be devastated..."

She had watched Yanran grow up and genuinely wanted the best for her. Seeing Yanran so heartbroken, Yun Yun couldn't bear it.

"Since you've asked, I'll help this time," Gu Fei said after staring at Yun Yun for a moment before nodding in agreement to help.
