Gu Yao: A Xiao Clan Good-for-Nothing, Is He Worthy?

Gu Fei rose to his feet, bowed respectfully to Gu Yuan, and left.

From beginning to end, he did not spare Xun'er a single extra glance.

Both Xun'er and Gu Yuan naturally noticed this.

Xun'er did not know why a strange emotion welled up in her heart.

Hadn't Gu Fei once been deeply in love with her...

How had things become like this today?

She bit her lower lip in displeasure.

Watching Gu Fei leave, Gu Yuan let out a heavy sigh.

His daughter had been spoiled too much, becoming utterly lawless.

She was already married, yet she still entangled herself with another man.

Wasn't all of this because Gu Yuan had spoiled Xun'er far too much in the past?

Xun'er looked exceedingly like his wife, so he had unconsciously lowered his bottom line for her time and again.

And so, the sweet and lovely daughter he had raised had ended up behaving so improperly and recklessly.

For a moment, Gu Yuan did not know whether what he had done was right or wrong.

His somewhat shameless response to Gu Fei's request had, of course, been intended to wear away Gu Fei's feelings for Xun'er.

It was all this girl's fault.

"Xun'er, do you know what you did wrong?"

"Now that you are married to Gu Fei, you should mind your conduct. How could you still secretly meet with another man?"

"Besides, in what way is Gu Fei not far superior to that Xiao Yan? What is so good about a useless trash like him?"

Long ago, Gu Yuan had sent scouts to investigate the Xiao Family.

Naturally, he knew Gu Fei's claim that Xiao Yan was a "genius" had been a lie.

Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family was clearly a good-for-nothing.

Xun'er did not like a genius, yet she had fallen for a good-for-nothing?

Gu Yuan's tone was not harsh. It was merely the usual instruction and reprimand of a father toward his daughter.

He believed his tone had already been gentle enough.

Yet Xun'er wore an aggrieved expression.

Naturally, she still did not believe she had done anything terribly wrong.

"Father! Gu Fei is clearly making a mountain out of a molehill! Why are you scolding me?"

Gu Yuan glared at Xun'er, but when he saw her beautiful eyes reddening, his heart softened again.

He could only give up helplessly.

Gu Yuan waved his hand and dismissed Xun'er. He also needed to find a way to persuade Gu Fei.

After all, Gu Fei's resolute words before leaving did not sound feigned.

He truly wanted to divorce his former wife.

Xun'er turned and left. Gu Yuan sat in contemplation for a long while before rising and leaving the main hall.

Next, he planned to seek out Gu Fei's grandfather, Gu Lie, to discuss the relationship between the two young people.

Gu Yuan still hoped Gu Lie could persuade Gu Fei.

Gu Fei respected his grandfather greatly. If Gu Lie spoke up, perhaps there might still be room for a turnaround.

Meanwhile, news that Gu Fei and Xun'er had visited the clan leader one after the other quickly spread throughout the vast Gu Clan.

In addition, Gu Yunyou, who had been driven off Mountain Peak together with Xun'er by Gu Fei last night, revealed a few details that morning.

A hint of excitement shone in her beautiful eyes as she casually disclosed a few details of what had happened last night.

She stopped there and turned to leave, but the rumors within the Gu Clan only grew more intense.

By now, many people in the Gu Clan already knew that the relationship between Gu Fei and Xun'er had become somewhat strained.

Gu Fei and Xun'er's marriage had already caused widespread discussion throughout the Gu Clan.

Xun'er was the goddess of the younger generation, while Gu Fei was among the strongest of the younger generation. Naturally, their union had drawn much attention.

Yet only half a year later, cracks had appeared in their marriage.

Naturally, this sparked another wave of debate.

After leaving the main hall, Gu Fei prepared to return to his residence.

With his profound cultivation, he naturally noticed quite a few people whispering in his direction.

Their gazes all fell upon Gu Fei, but his expression remained unchanged as he headed toward his residence.

Perhaps the news had already spread.

Gu Fei shook his head.

Whatever bad repercussions this matter might cause once it spread had nothing to do with him.

The lackeys who usually flattered Gu Fei now all kept their distance from him.

They huddled in corners and whispered among themselves, while puzzled, excited, and resentful gazes occasionally fell upon Gu Fei.

And naturally, Gu Fei enjoyed those gazes.

No, what he enjoyed was the Emotion Value brought by those abundant emotions.

Gu Yue felt curious. Emotion Value +1.

Gu Feiyang felt resentment. Emotion Value +1.

Gu Yao felt anger. Emotion Value +5.

Although there were no people of great destiny here, and the Emotion Value they brought was merely a drop in the bucket.

Even mosquito meat was still meat. Naturally, he would not turn it down.

However, the anger from someone named "Gu Yao" caught his attention.

Among the discussing crowd, a man named Gu Yao had fury in his eyes.

That anger had arisen because of Gu Fei, yet it was not directed at him.

Gu Yao had once liked Xun'er as well. Xun'er was the goddess of the Gu Clan's younger generation, so of course he had liked her.

However, after Xun'er returned and married Gu Fei, Gu Yao could only give up.

He considered himself a man who upheld the ways of a gentleman, so naturally, he would never commit the vile act of stealing another man's wife.

Moreover, Gu Yao had sincerely accepted Gu Fei's superiority.

But where exactly had that useless Xiao Yan come from?

Why was Gu Yao so furious, and how had he learned of Xiao Yan?

It turned out that Gu Yao had only learned from Gu Ling, who had gone to bring Xun'er back, earlier that morning.

The reason Xun'er and Gu Fei had fallen out and their relationship had turned sour this time.

It was very likely because of a useless man named Xiao Yan from the Northwest Continent.

Xiao Yan was a man. Since Xun'er had fallen out with Gu Fei because of him.

That could only mean that Xun'er might have developed feelings for Xiao Yan.

Gu Yao was exceptionally intelligent. With only a brief hint from Gu Ling, he figured out the entire sequence of events.

He had been willing to step aside back then because Gu Fei was outstanding enough and worthy of becoming Xun'er's husband.

But what right did a useless man like Xiao Yan have?

Thus, Gu Yao could no longer suppress the rage in his heart.

He had openly developed murderous intent toward Xiao Yan.

Gu Yao sat by the bed, gazing at the distant scenery, his sinister eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent.

"A useless piece of trash like that actually managed to win Xun'er's heart more than Brother Gu Fei and I did."

"He deserves to die!"

Gu Yao's eyes were filled with gloom. When he saw Gu Fei pass by the window, he found it even harder to restrain the anger in his heart.

Unconsciously, he shifted his fury onto Gu Fei.

Gu Fei's system faithfully alerted him, and as though sensing something, he looked over.

His gaze met Gu Yao's gloomy eyes by the bed.

Gu Fei calmly met his gaze, gave a faint smile, and continued toward the Mountain Peak.

Seeing how unruffled Gu Fei was, Gu Yao's killing intent toward Xiao Yan grew even more overwhelming.

Such an outstanding man was actually inferior to a useless piece of trash in Xun'er's heart!

It seemed this Xiao Yan absolutely could not be allowed to live any longer.

The moment that thought arose, Gu Yao made up his mind.

He decided to act immediately.

Gu Yao had always been decisive and ruthless. Xiao Yan had simply happened to run straight into his gun.

He was only a useless man. Gu Yao could kill him whenever he wished.

Though he was not someone who slaughtered indiscriminately, Xiao Yan had set his sights on someone he might never be worthy of even in his entire lifetime.

If Clan Chief Gu Yuan had not sent Xun'er to such a poor and shabby place in the past, that useless man would never have even seen Xun'er in his life!
