Chapter 31: Xun'er’s Jealousy!
Chapter 31: Xun'er’s Jealousy!
Yun Yun didn't understand why Gu Fei was frowning. At this moment, she remained very quiet, not wanting to disturb him. Gu Fei rubbed his temples, showing some impatience.
He didn't want to leave first and appear guilty, so he stayed in place, quietly waiting for the two to approach.
Moments later, two black dots appeared in the distant sky, rapidly flying closer.
As the distance shortened, the two black dots gradually became clear- it was Xun'er and Ling Ying.
"It really is him!"
Xun'er feels surprised, emotion value +100
Xun'er's anxious gaze had been searching for him, and now she finally saw Gu Fei. Although she had mentally prepared herself, seeing him in person still brought some surprise.
Moreover, in the next moment, she noticed a beautiful woman standing beside Gu Fei. Although the woman wore a simple robe, it couldn't hide her impressive figure. Her tall stature, cold eyes, delicate face, and long, flowing hair exuded an aura of nobility.
At a glance, she seemed somewhat well-matched with Gu Fei.
Who is this woman?

For some reason, Xun'er felt a strange jealousy rising in her heart. She shook her head, thinking that she must be obsessing over Xiao Yan too much.
What does Gu Fei have to do with her anyway?
Soon, Xun'er and Ling Ying landed in front of Gu Fei.
As soon as she arrived, Xun'er anxiously questioned Gu Fei.
"Gu Fei, why are you here?"
Her tone was somewhat urgent. If Gu Fei didn't know that her heart was solely concerned with her brother Xiao Yan, he might have thought that this ex-wife of his was worried about his safety.
"That's something I should be asking you!"
Gu Fei responded impatiently and coldly, "I'm here for training. What about you? Why are you following me?"
What is she up to, following him all the way to the Magic Beast Mountain Range?
Xun'er, hearing his tone, bit her lip and denied, "I wasn't following you!"
Gu Fei obviously didn't believe her. If she wasn't following him, how could it be such a coincidence that both of them ended up training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range?
Seeing the mocking smile on Gu Fei's lips and the sarcastic look in his eyes, Xun'er became somewhat agitated.
Xun'er feels angry, emotion value +100
"The North-Western region is known for being barren. Why would a monster like you need to train here?"
"Anywhere would be better than training here."
As she spoke, Xun'er became more convinced of her suspicion. Her eyes flashed, and she questioned again, "Do you have some other purpose?"
Xun'er feels suspicious, emotion value +100
"Other purpose?"
Hearing Xun'er's relentless questioning, even the most patient person would get angry.
The good mood Gu Fei had from subduing the Amethyst Winged Lion King was completely ruined by Xun'er.
He snapped, "What does it matter to you?"
Clearly, Xun'er was the one who betrayed him first, yet she was still chasing and questioning him.
What on earth is she thinking?
There should be a limit to her stubbornness and unreasonable behavior!
Gu Fei closed his eyes briefly, then turned his head, deciding to ignore Xun'er.
Xun'er feels uneasy, emotion value +200
Seeing Gu Fei not responding, Xun'er felt uneasy.
Could it be that her brother Xiao Yan had already fallen victim to him?
But, he doesn't seem like that kind of person.
Not knowing what was going through Xun'er's mind, her voice suddenly took on a pleading tone.
"Gu Fei, I don't care what you're thinking. I'm not doubting you; I'm just begging you..."
"I know you might resent brother Xiao Yan because of me."
Xun'er's voice choked up slightly.
"I'm begging you, please don't hurt brother Xiao Yan, don't go after him, okay?"
Xun'er feels pleading, emotion value +200
Yun Yun feels surprised, emotion value +100
Beside them, Yun Yun had remained silent the entire time, not wanting to interrupt their conversation, but hearing their exchange shocked her deeply.
'Xiao Yan?'
Yun Yun still remembered the name Xiao Yan.
This person had once been engaged to her only disciple, Nalan Yanran.
And he had been divorced by Yanran.
The two had made a three-year agreement.
This time, Yun Yun had come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range because she had heard that Xiao Yan's talent had returned and that his strength was progressing rapidly. Worried that Yanran might lose, she had come here to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal for refining pills.
However, Xiao Yan was clearly just a young man of ordinary background with not much cultivation.
How could he be connected to outstanding people like Gu Fei and Xun'er?
Moreover, from the looks of it, the situation seemed quite complicated.
Xun'er and Gu Fei's attitudes were both unusual, and it seemed that both were closely related
to Xiao Yan.
Yun Yun had no bias against Xiao Yan; she didn't judge anyone based on preconceptions. But today's chaotic situation had also dampened her mood slightly.
Yun Yun frowned, and subconsciously felt a bit of dislike for Xiao Yan.
"Harm Xiao Yan?"
Gu Fei frowned again, unable to believe what he had just heard, feeling a surge of anger.
He couldn't believe that Xun'er had actually thought this up!
Harm Xiao Yan? Is Xiao Yan even worthy?
Xun'er was being too self-important. He clearly didn't care, yet Xun'er thought he was
holding a grudge against her and Xiao Yan.
To the point that she believed he had come all the way to the barren North-Western region under the guise of training, just to kill Xiao Yan.
Gu Fei was so angry that he laughed, his expression full of disdain. "He isn't even worthy of
my attention!"
Looking at Xun'er, Gu Fei's eyes showed even more disgust. "And neither are you!"
Xun'er feels disappointed, emotion value +100
After saying this, Gu Fei felt irritated and turned to Yun Yun, who was a bit stunned, and
gently said, "You're still not fully healed. You should rest more."
Yun Yun nodded, still trying to figure out their complex relationship, and then followed Gu
Fei into the cave.
This left Xun'er and Ling Ying outside.
Xun'er briefly set aside thoughts of her brother Xiao Yan and looked at the backs of Gu Fei and
Yun Yun walking side by side, murmuring, "Who is this woman, and what is her relationship
with Brother Gu Fei?"
Xun'er was furious and felt a bit lost.
After all, Gu Fei was her ex-husband, and they had only recently divorced. How could Gu Fei
be so close to another woman already?
Moreover, Yun Yun's posture and appearance were exceptional. Her noble temperament made
Xun'er feel a bit uneasy.
Even though she thought she didn't care about Gu Fei's words, the system's faithful
reminders still betrayed her true feelings.
Facing Gu Fei's disgust, Xun'er felt a little hurt.
All the good times they had shared had now turned into sharp blades that cut deep into her
heart.
She was a bit disoriented, looking deeply into the cave.
The entrance to the cave had been shielded by Gu Fei, preventing Xun'er from seeing inside,
which made her even more suspicious.
What could happen between Gu Fei and that woman in there?
