Chapter 23: Let's Go, I'll Take You to Kill!



After returning to Qingshan Town, Gu Fei immediately went into hiding, not revealing himself to anyone. He gave Xiao Yi Xian a deep look, reassuring her not to worry, and then vanished without a trace.

Even though they had planned everything in advance, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when she saw Gu Fei suddenly disappear.

She concealed her emotions and, with a calm expression, followed Gu Fei's instructions. When Boss Yao inquired about him, she publicly claimed that the powerful alchemist had already left.

She explained that after obtaining the herbs he needed, Gu Fei had parted ways with the herb- gathering team when they descended the mountain.

"So, that esteemed individual has already left..." Boss Yao responded calmly, but inwardly regretted missing the opportunity to curry favor with the alchemist.

In Qingshan Town, at the headquarters of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Mu She was furious when he learned that his son, Mu Li, had been brutally killed and left to rot in the Magic Beast Mountain Range with no one to collect his body.

His eyes turned blood-red, and he crushed the cup in his hand into powder. The glass shards fell gently, and Mu She's expression grew even darker as he gritted his teeth.

He wasn't stupid. After thinking it over, he concluded that the prime suspect had to be Xiao Yi Xian.

Knowing that Mu Li's death was connected to the little physician from Thousand Medicine House he couldn't contain his rage and immediately sent men to kill Xiao Yi Xian to vent his anger.

However, at first, he hesitated because he didn't know whether the powerful alchemist protecting Xiao Yi Xian had really left. Out of caution, he waited for confirmation.

When his subordinates reported that Xiao Yi Xian claimed Gu Fei had already left, Mu She sneered, his expression full of murderous intent.

"Go, inform Boss Yao at Thousand Medicine House to hand over Xiao Yi Xian. If he doesn't, I'll pay him a visit myself, and it won't be a friendly one."

Mu She's subordinates had rarely seen him this angry. They nodded fearfully and hurried off to Thousand Medicine House.

Meanwhile, Boss Yao of Thousand Medicine House also revealed his true colors after confirming that Gu Fei had 'left'.

A shrewd and cunning man, he had noticed that Gu Fei had been subtly protecting Xiao Yixian. Now that Gu Fei was truly gone, Xiao Yi Xian was left vulnerable.

Boss Yao had long known about the treasure at the bottom of the cliff, but he had never revealed his knowledge. Driven by greed, he had always wanted a share of it.

Knowing that Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Fei must have retrieved the treasure, he had her immediately confined and relentlessly questioned about the treasure's whereabouts. The situation was so tense that it was only a step away from a full search of her body.

When Boss Yao received Mu She's message, he agreed without hesitation, his lips curling into a sinister smile.

Boss Yao planned to extract the treasure's location from Xiao Yi Xian before handing her over to Mu She to vent his anger.

When Xiao Yi Xian was suddenly imprisoned, her sharp mind quickly realized it was Boss Yao's scheme.

She couldn't believe it. Boss Yao had always presented himself as kind and gentle, never even raising his voice. Now she overheard him mentioning Mu She's name.

She feared that Mu She had demanded Boss Yao hand her over.

As these events unfolded rapidly, Xiao Yi Xian grew increasingly worried. However, remembering Gu Fei's instructions in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, she gradually calmed down.

That night, after another round of fruitless questioning, Boss Yao's men left, leaving Xiao Yi Xian exhausted and leaning against the wall, her mind drifting.

"It seems that my absence has indeed led many to target you. Xiao Yi Xian, how are you holding up?"

Upon hearing the familiar, gentle voice, her eyes flew open in surprise.

It was Gu Fei, who had reappeared, suddenly standing in her room.

He walked over, took a chair, and sat down in front of Xiao Yi Xian.

"Gu Fei, you finally came!"

Xiao Yi Xian feels touched, emotion value +100

After a day of questioning and pressure, Xiao Yi Xian, though unharmed physically, was mentally exhausted. Seeing Gu Fei now, her eyes welled up with emotion.

"Come on, I'll take you to kill some people!"

Gu Fei smiled slightly, speaking with his usual calm demeanor, but his words left Xiao Yi Xian momentarily stunned.

She couldn't describe how she felt at that moment-her heart ached, yet she didn't dislike it.

Gu Fei then led her out of the room, walking openly through the hall. Xiao Yi Xian's heart raced as she noticed that the fierce guards who had been stationed at the door were now slumped over, as if trapped in an endless dream.

Their first destination was Boss Yao's residence.

Boss Yao had already retired for the night, but when he heard soft sounds, he sat up abruptly and shouted, "Who's there?!"

"It's me," Gu Fei replied, approaching with Xiao Yi Xian in tow.

Seeing the two people who shouldn't have been there, Boss Yao froze, cold sweat forming in

his palms.

"What brings you and Xiao Yi Xian to visit me so late at night? Is there something you need?"

he asked, feigning ignorance as he slowly backed away- until Gu Fei's cold gaze pinned him in

place.

Gu Fei raised his hand slightly, and a terrifying flow of energy began to gather in his palm.

Boss Yao immediately fell to his knees, crying and pleading for his life. "Please spare me! I confined Xiao Yi Xian to protect her! Mu She wants her dead to vent his anger! I did this for her

own good!"

But Gu Fei, having secretly observed everything over the past few days, knew that Boss Yao was lying. Without another word, he delivered a swift, precise strike. The terrifying energy pierced through Boss Yao's chest, killing him instantly, just as Mu Li had died earlier. Xiao Yi Xian remained silent, watching as Gu Fei effortlessly dealt with Boss Yao. He then led her to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's headquarters to find Mu She.

Over the past few days, Gu Fei had seen the malice of both Mu She and Boss Yao and showed

no mercy in dealing with them.

Gu Fei gave Mu She no chance to defend himself, delivering a light but deadly strike that left Mu She's terrified eyes frozen in place.

Xiao Yi Xian quietly followed Gu Fei, watching as he swiftly took down both Boss Yao and Mu

She.

Xiao Yi Xian feels gratitude, emotion value +100

Though Gu Fei killed without hesitation, she wasn't afraid. She knew these people deserved to

die- Gu Fei was avenging her.

She felt deep gratitude toward Gu Fei. Without him, her situation would have been dire.
