Chapter 186: The Mysterious Girl Ling Xi! Gu Fei’s Doubt!



"During your time here, don't wander around. Just stay put, and when the time comes, leave with the main group," Xun'er calmly advised.

Though her words expressed concern for Xiao Yan's safety, they inadvertently deepened the sense of inferiority in his heart, making him feel as if even Xun'er looked down on him. Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, feeling a surge of resentment and self-loathing.

"I haven't done anything improper. Does such a powerful clan like the Gu Clan need to mistreat their guests in the Gu Realm?" Xiao Yan retorted stubbornly after a moment.

"Haha, my Gu Clan would never invite a nobody like you. How did a low-level Dou Ancestor like you even get in?" a young man from the Gu Clan mocked as soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking.

"Xiao Yan is here as part of our Pill Tower delegation. He didn't sneak in," Xuan Kongzi interjected with a frown, defending Xiao Yan.

"Well, your Pill Tower sure has poor taste!" The young man continued to mock, showing no respect even to Xuan Kongzi, who was highly revered in Central Plains.

"Xun'er, don't worry. I won't cause trouble in the Gu Realm. I'll leave as soon as I finish some business," Xiao Yan sighed. He understood that stubbornness was futile without strength, and he didn't want to drag Xuan Kongzi and the others into unnecessary conflict.

...

"Wu Shuang, I'm here!"

"Hehe, sister, wait for me! I almost caught you!"

In the guest area of the Gu Clan, Wu Shuang and Xian Yue were happily chasing each other through the crowd.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, Xian Yue, distracted by talking to Wu Shuang behind her, failed to notice the person in front of her and bumped into them. Her small head collided with a soft body, causing her to stumble backward.N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

"Are you alright, little sister?"

The beautiful figure in front of her immediately reached out and caught Xian Yue before she could fall.

"I'm fine, thank you, pretty sister!" Xian Yue quickly expressed her gratitude after regaining her balance.

"Pretty sister, would you like to play with us?" Xian Yue invited, feeling an instant connection with Ling Xi due to their close age and the earlier incident.

Ling Xi instinctively looked at the middle-aged woman beside her.

"Go ahead!" The woman nodded with a smile. In her mind, befriending the future leader of the Gu Clan seemed like a beneficial move.

"Thank you, Mother!" Ling Xi's demeanor relaxed, her cheerful nature taking over.

As Ling Xi, Xian Yue, and Wu Shuang walked away, a purple figure appeared in the distance, briefly glancing at the Ling Clan members before slowly following the children.

"That woman just now made me feel immense pressure!" the woman from the Ling Clan remarked with a solemn expression as she watched Zi Yan's retreating figure.

"The Gu Clan is known as the strongest of the ancient clans for a reason!"

...

"Father and Mother are over there!"

Soon, Wu Shuang spotted Gu Fei, Cai Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian in the crowd and happily ran over to

them.

"Wu Shuang, it's lively tonight, isn't it?" Gu Fei lifted Wu Shuang with a doting smile.

Then he noticed Xian Yue and the young girl Ling Xi approaching.

"People from the Ling Clan?" Gu Fei immediately recognized Ling Xi's origin, instinctively

frowning.

In the original story, during the Gu Clan's coming-of-age ceremony, the Ling Clan didn't attend because their space had suddenly closed off, later revealed to be due to an attack by the

Hun Clan.

But now, with the Ling Clan's peaceful presence and their visit to the Gu Realm, could it mean that the Hun Clan's plans hadn't yet unfolded?
