Chapter 195: Do You Really Not Have the Ancient Jade?



On the mountain peak, Gu Fei, Xiao Yi Xian, and Cai Lin sat quietly in a pavilion, enjoying the night. Nearby, the two little ones, Xian Yue and Wu Shuang, played with their new friend, Ling Xi. Although Ling Xi was already twelve years old, she fit right in with the younger children.

"Dear, in just two days, the Heavenly Tomb will open again, and you'll be going into seclusion for quite some time..." Xiao Yi Xian suddenly brought up the upcoming event, the opening of the Heavenly Tomb.

Over the years, Gu Fei had been entering seclusion more frequently, and for longer periods each time. Every time he did, Xiao Yi Xian felt an empty void in her heart.

"This time won't be too long!" Gu Fei reassured her. "Even though three years will pass inside the tomb, only six months will pass in the outside world."

Gu Fei understood how Xiao Yi Xian felt, but to deal with the Hun Clan in the future, he had to make the most of his time. The extra two and a half years inside the Heavenly Tomb were vital for his growth as a prodigy.

"Alright, I hope you advance further this time..." Xiao Yi Xian nodded. Though she wished Gu Fei could spend more time with her and the children, she understood his need for seclusion.

"Dear, what were you thinking last night when you saw Ling Xi?" Cai Lin suddenly asked, voicing a question that had been bothering her.

"That's something I can't fully explain to you right now," Gu Fei replied, shaking his head. "All I can say is that Ling Xi comes from the Ling Clan."

"Are you surprised because a member of the Ling Clan came to the Gu Realm? Is it because the relationship between the Ling Clan and the Gu Clan is strained, and they rarely interact?" Cai Lin speculated. "Or perhaps you didn't expect the Ling Clan to come at all, yet here they are?"

Cai Lin, also known as Queen Medusa, was quick to deduce things. From Gu Fei's reaction, she had already guessed part of the truth.

"Heh, you're very smart, Cai Lin. You're almost there!" Gu Fei smiled, appreciating her insight.

"Wait!" Gu Nanhai, accompanied by several elders, appeared from the twisted space and stopped Yao Chen's group. Their attention, however, was focused on Xiao Yan.

"Elder Nanhai, what brings you to see Gu Fei?" Gu Fei greeted them.

"Haha, I'm not here for you. I'm here for this descendant of the Xiao Clan..." Gu Nanhai chuckled, then looked at Xiao Yan. "You must be Xiao Yan."

"Yes, I am Xiao Yan," Xiao Yan responded, standing tall despite the overwhelming presence of the Gu Clan elders.

"Xiao Yan, you're aware that you're a descendant of the ancient Xiao Clan, correct?"

"Yes," Xiao Yan replied solemnly.

"Then tell me, does your Xiao family possess a peculiar ancient jade?" Gu Nanhai inquired.

"Ancient jade?" Xiao Yan was surprised. He recalled the family heirloom given to him by the First Elder before he left home. Could they be after the Xiao family's ancestral jade?

"My family has no such jade," Xiao Yan answered cautiously, choosing not to reveal the truth despite the ancient jade being in his possession.

"Are you sure you don't have the jade?" Gu Fei suddenly interjected.

With his emotion-sensing ability, Gu Fei could easily detect Xiao Yan's unease.

Xiao Yan felt hesitant, anxious, and nervous. Emotional value +200

Gu Fei was certain that Xiao Yan had the ancient jade.
