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

After returning to Green Mountain Town, Gu Fei immediately went into hiding, never showing himself in public.

He gave Xiao Yi Xian a deep look, telling her not to worry, before falling silent.

Xiao Yi Xian felt disappointed. Emotion Value +100

Although they had already made a plan, when Xiao Yi Xian watched Gu Fei suddenly disappear before her eyes, her heart still tightened involuntarily.

She concealed the fluctuation in her expression and remained calm. Following Gu Fei's earlier instructions, when Boss Yao asked about it, she publicly claimed that the powerful alchemist had already left.

She said that after obtaining the herbs he wanted, Gu Fei had separated from the herb-gathering party on the way down the mountain.

"So that lord has actually left..."

Boss Yao responded faintly after hearing this, inwardly regretting that he had failed to curry favor with that alchemist.

Green Mountain Town, Wolf Head Mercenary Group headquarters.

When Mu She learned that his son, Mu Li, had died miserably and that no one had even collected his body, leaving him alone in the Monster Mountain Range, he flew into a rage.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and the cup in his hand was crushed to pieces in an instant.

The shards drifted down through the air as Mu She's expression darkened. He gnashed his teeth.

He was no fool. After thinking it over, the only possible suspect was Xiao Yi Xian.

Knowing that Mu Li's death was connected to the young physician from the Ten Thousand Medicines Shop, he could not help but immediately send people to kill Xiao Yi Xian to vent his anger.

However, at first, he did not know that the powerful alchemist protecting Xiao Yi Xian had already left, so he had held back out of consideration for his reputation.

Then his subordinates brought word that Xiao Yi Xian claimed Gu Fei had already departed.

Mu She gave a sinister smile, his expression filled with killing intent.

"Go. Send someone to notify Boss Yao of the Ten Thousand Medicines Shop. Hand over Xiao Yi Xian. Otherwise, when I come knocking in person, she won't receive this kind of treatment."

His subordinates rarely saw Mu She this grim. Trembling, they quietly acknowledged the order before hurrying to the Ten Thousand Medicines Shop.

At the same time, Boss Yao of the Ten Thousand Medicines Shop also revealed his true colors after repeatedly confirming that Gu Fei had "left."

He was exceptionally smooth and shrewd in his dealings, so he could naturally tell that Gu Fei had been openly and subtly protecting Xiao Yi Xian.

Now that Gu Fei had truly left, wouldn't Xiao Yi Xian be at his mercy?

Boss Yao had always known something about the treasure beneath the cliff, though he had never revealed it.

That was why he had always harbored greedy thoughts, wanting a share of it.

Boss Yao knew that Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Fei must have retrieved the treasure during this trip.

Now that Gu Fei had left, he directly ordered his people to place Xiao Yi Xian under house arrest and relentlessly interrogate her about the treasure's whereabouts.

They were practically one step away from searching her body.

And after receiving Mu She's message, Boss Yao agreed without hesitation.

The corners of his lips curled into a sinister smile.

Boss Yao intended to hand Xiao Yi Xian over to Mu She after learning the treasure's whereabouts, allowing Mu She to vent his anger.

When Xiao Yi Xian was suddenly placed under house arrest, the clever girl quickly realized that this was Boss Yao's scheme.

Of course, she found it hard to believe, because Boss Yao had always appeared kind and gentle, never even speaking harshly to her.

She had even overheard Mu She's name during their conversation.

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

This string of events happened so quickly that Xiao Yi Xian became deeply worried.

However, remembering what Gu Fei had told her in the Monster Mountain Range, she gradually calmed down.

That night.

After another round of fruitless interrogation, Boss Yao's subordinates left angrily. Xiao Yi Xian leaned against the wall in exhaustion, her gaze vacant.

"It seems that the moment I left, quite a few people really did want to make a move against you."

"Xiao Yi Xian, are you alright?"

Xiao Yi Xian felt pleasantly surprised. Emotion Value +100

Hearing that familiar, gentle voice, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flew open, filled with delight.

Gu Fei had appeared once more, directly inside Xiao Yi Xian's room.

He walked over step by step, picked up a chair, and sat down in front of her.

"Brother Gu Fei, you finally came!"

Xiao Yi Xian felt moved. Emotion Value +100

Xiao Yi Xian had endured a full day of interrogation and coercion. Though she had not suffered any physical harm, she was exhausted in her heart.

Now that she finally saw Gu Fei, her eyes reddened with emotion.

"Come. I'll take you to kill someone!"

Gu Fei smiled faintly, his expression no different from usual when he said those words.

Yet his words made Xiao Yi Xian freeze for a moment.

Xiao Yi Xian felt touched. Emotion Value +100

Xiao Yi Xian could not describe how she felt at that moment. It was sour and numb, yet not unpleasant.

Next, Gu Fei led Xiao Yi Xian and swaggered straight out of the room.

Xiao Yi Xian's heart skipped a beat. She saw that the fierce guards who had been sitting outside the room were now all sprawled across the table, as though trapped in a dream from which they would never wake.

They first went to Boss Yao's residence.

Boss Yao had already gone to bed. Hearing the faint rustling sounds, he abruptly sat up and shouted sharply, "Who's there?!"

"It's me."

Gu Fei approached him, with Xiao Yi Xian following behind him.

The two people who should not have been there appeared together. Boss Yao froze, and cold sweat immediately broke out in his palms.

Boss Yao felt guilty. Emotion Value +10

"You came to visit my room in the middle of the night with Xiao Yi Xian. Is there something you need?"

He pretended to be clueless as he asked, but his body kept retreating until Gu Fei's icy gaze pinned him in place.

Gu Fei raised his hand slightly, and a terrifying current of air gathered in his palm.

Boss Yao felt extreme fear. Emotion Value +15

Boss Yao immediately dropped to his knees, weeping as he begged, "Mercy, my lord! I locked up Xiao Yi Xian to protect her! Mu She wanted to kill her to vent his anger! I only did it for her own good!"

Gu Fei did not waste any more words. He had secretly watched the entire course of events during this time and knew that every word from Boss Yao was a lie.

The next moment, he swung his palm cleanly. A terrifying current of air pierced precisely through Boss Yao's chest, leaving him just like Mu Li before him—dead before he could even react.

Xiao Yi Xian pressed her lips together without speaking. Gu Fei then took her to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's headquarters, where they found Mu She.

Gu Fei had witnessed all of Mu She and Boss Yao's vicious deeds during this time, so he showed neither mercy nor hesitation.

Mu She felt fear. Emotion Value +10

He gave Mu She no chance to defend himself. With a light strike of his palm, Mu She's terror-filled eyes froze forever.

Xiao Yi Xian stood behind Gu Fei, quietly watching as he dealt with Boss Yao and Mu She one after another.

Xiao Yi Xian felt gratitude. Emotion Value +100

Although Gu Fei killed without even blinking, Xiao Yi Xian was not afraid.

Because she understood that these people all deserved to die. Gu Fei was standing up for her.

She was grateful to Gu Fei from the bottom of her heart. If not for him, her situation now would probably have been extremely difficult.
