Yun Yun's Subtle Reaction!

Yun Yun's Subtle Reaction!

Xun'er was sulking because Gu Fei had refused to answer her question directly and had left her behind to enter the cave with that woman.

Ling Ying, who had stood by like an invisible man without saying a word, witnessed the whole farce and hesitated.

"Young Lady, since Young Master Gu Fei said so, he absolutely could not have gone after Xiao Yan."

"Young Master Gu Fei holds great prestige among the younger generation of the clan. Though I do not know much about him, I do know that he does not win people over through sheer strength alone, but also through his personal charisma."

"At the very least, with my own eyes, I could not see any concealment or lies from him."

Seeing Xun'er angry, Ling Ying could not help but speak up.

His words showed how deeply he trusted Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was a man who placed great importance on his word. Once he made a promise, he would surely keep it. Since he said he had not gone after Xiao Yan, then he truly had not.

For one thing, Gu Fei was a genius whom Ling Ying could only look up to, and his status was exceptionally noble as well.

Ling Ying respected Gu Fei from the bottom of his heart.

When he had first learned that Gu Fei wished to marry Xun'er, Ling Ying had not said a word.

After all, he had watched Xun'er grow up. Naturally, he was somewhat biased, believing that no man in the world was worthy of Miss Xun'er.

But after observing him for some time, Ling Ying had sincerely come to acknowledge his suitability as Xun'er's husband.

Previously, when Xun'er had asked Ling Ying to contact Xiao Yan, Ling Ying had been reluctant.

It was obvious that Xiao Yan was inferior to Gu Fei in every respect.

Between Xiao Yan and Gu Fei, Ling Ying clearly preferred for Xun'er to be with Gu Fei.

The union of two extraordinarily gifted people would surely be more perfect.

Although Xiao Yan had a good temperament and was sufficiently steady, his talent was far inferior to Gu Fei's.

However, Ling Ying could not withstand Xun'er's stubbornness.

Moreover, considering the years he had spent by Xun'er's side, he had no choice but to favor her. Thus, he could only help her pass along messages.

"Master Ling, of course I understand all that. Since Gu Fei said he would not make a move against Xiao Yan, Brother, then it is set in stone. There is absolutely no other possibility."

"I was simply too angry just now and acted too rashly, so I questioned him without thinking."

Xun'er lowered her head and spoke softly.

Although she had always refused to yield when she had the upper hand, she now began to feel somewhat remorseful.

Last time, Xun'er had become furious because Gu Yao had sent people after Xiao Yan, and she had misunderstood Gu Fei without distinguishing right from wrong.

She had thought she would not make the same mistake again, yet this time, she actually...

Just now, watching Gu Fei and Yun Yun walk together so pleasingly, shoulder to shoulder as they entered the cave, Xun'er felt increasingly miserable.

She bit her lower lip and suddenly said, "No, I have to go in and take a look. What if that woman has ill intentions? They must not suffer any mishap inside."

Ling Ying helplessly pressed a hand to his forehead and could only agree.

However, he had no intention of entering. He would merely stand guard outside.

After hesitating for a moment, Xun'er prepared to enter the cave.

Just as she was about to step inside, her expression changed. The sound of something cutting through the air rang out overhead.

"Human, you may not enter the cave abode without the master's permission."

"Step back."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King circled overhead, its massive form blanketing the sky.

Lowering its head, it issued a stern warning to Xun'er and Ling Ying.

The broken horn atop its head still throbbed faintly, though Gu Fei had already stopped the injury from worsening.

Throughout the day, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's nerves had remained tightly wound, never relaxing for a moment.

It had encountered far too many powerful experts today.

Not only had it encountered Yun Yun, a Dou Huang who had come seeking Amethyst Crystal and severed half of its beast horn, but also a Dou Zong expert like Gu Fei.

Moreover, among those who had later come looking for Gu Fei, there was even someone at the Dou Huang Peak level.

Ling Ying did not seem particularly noticeable. As someone who existed in the shadows, he was accustomed to concealing himself.

Yet the Amethyst Winged Lion King was also quite wary of Ling Ying.

It stared at Ling Ying, estimating his strength in its heart.

Even as it voiced its warning, its gaze remained vigilantly fixed on Ling Ying.

However, the Amethyst Winged Lion King understood that even if it was no match for them, it still had to come forward and stop them. Only then could it demonstrate its loyalty to Gu Fei.

Besides, these two clearly knew its master, so they probably would not attack it.

Faced with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's low warning, Xun'er looked up at it without the slightest fear.

Her voice carried a trace of sharpness as she rebuked it, "Move aside!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King paused, anger rising in its heart.

It did not wish to offend Ling Ying, but that did not mean this arrogant little girl could act without restraint!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King fell silent for a moment. Then, a subtle ripple spread through the air.

Ling Ying keenly sensed battle qi gathering, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He stepped forward and stood before Xun'er, blocking the Amethyst Winged Lion King's sinister gaze.

Turning around, Ling Ying tried to persuade Xun'er. "Miss, Young Master Gu Fei may still be angry right now. We should refrain from going in for the time being."

"Once Young Master Gu Fei has calmed down, it won't be too late for you to explain. If you go now, you'll only walk straight into his line of fire. I'm afraid you won't be able to calm him down."

Under Ling Ying's persuasion, Xun'er hesitated for a moment before finally calming down.

She shot a cold glance at the cave entrance, then began waiting outside.

Only then did the faintly gathered battle qi disperse, and Ling Ying finally let out a sigh of relief.

If he had failed to dissuade Xun'er, he would probably have had to fight the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Even if neither side got serious, they would still inevitably end up injured.

Meanwhile, Yun Yun and Gu Fei walked into the cave side by side.

Yun Yun sensed Xun'er's burning gaze from behind, but she said nothing.

After the two walked a few more steps inside, Yun Yun finally could not help asking, "The Xiao Yan you mentioned earlier—is he Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family in Wutan City?"

Yun Yun's intuition told her that the two Xiao Yans were the same person.

What puzzled Yun Yun, however, was how a good-for-nothing from tiny Wutan City could know such young men and women of peak strength.

"Mm."

Gu Fei nodded indifferently and gave a casual hum, offering no further explanation.

He could sense that Xun'er and Ling Ying were still outside the cave and had not left.

That put Gu Fei in a slightly bad mood.

It was not because he was jealous that Xun'er only had Xiao Yan in her heart.

It was simply because Gu Fei was a normal person. Being falsely accused and subjected to baseless speculation for no reason would naturally make anyone unhappy.

At that moment, Gu Fei slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Fortunately, he had already separated from Xun'er, and her influence on him was no longer so great.

If it had been before, he would probably have spent the rest of the day distracted, constantly doubting himself.

Gu Fei cast the stray thoughts from his mind.

At that moment, he suddenly missed the innocent girl with purple hair and purple eyes, who was waiting for his return in the Small Mountain Valley.

At the very least, whenever she was by his side, Gu Fei had never suffered from such terrible negative emotions.
