Chapter 82: Did You Do Something Bad to Sister?
"The clan leader has given the order this time: even if we have to tie you up, we're taking you back!"
Facing Xun'er's plea, the elder shook his head sternly and then, in a flash, appeared beside her, separating her from Xiao Yan.
Xun'er tried to struggle, but the elder grabbed her, and before Xiao Yan could even blink, the room was empty.
Xiao Yan stood there, too terrified to even consider stopping them. He could only watch helplessly as Xun'er gave him one last glance before she was taken away.
The elder was simply too terrifying.
"Xun'er! I'm sorry..."
It was only long after Xun'er left that Xiao Yan finally snapped out of it.
"This is all my fault for being so cowardly!"
He shook his head sharply, hating himself for his weakness.
Clenching his fists, Xiao Yan's eyes filled with determination as he vowed to one day visit Xun'er's clan to find her.
But then, thinking of how powerful her clan was, he began to feel disheartened.
That elder alone, without even releasing his full pressure, had immobilized him completely- and that was with Xun'er protecting him.
"Such a powerful clan... can I really ever reach them?"
Xiao Yan laughed bitterly, mocking himself.
If he had the strength of a Dou Ancestor, he might have the confidence. But sadly, he was too weak, and knowing all this now only crushed his confidence further, making him shrink back.
"Sigh... I should focus on waking up my teacher first!"
After a long while, Xiao Yan sighed, taking out the spiritual herb Xun'er had brought him.
After all, Xun'er was taken by her clan members, so she shouldn't be in any immediate danger.

Ye Clan
At the ancient altar of the Sun Fire, Gu Fei gently brushed a stray lock of hair from Xiao Yi Xian's face and asked softly, "How does your body feel?"
Xiao Yi Xian feels affection, Emotion Value +100
Feeling Gu Fei's tenderness, Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks blushed as she replied in a soft voice, "I- I'm feeling much better now."
Though extremely shy, Xiao Yi Xian leaned closer to Gu Fei, resting on his shoulder.
The two embraced, their breaths mingling, hearts beating in sync, quietly savoring the union of their souls.
This time, Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian had truly become one.
Their relationship had moved beyond friendship, evolving into that of lovers.
Even the usually naive Ziyan and Qing Lin could sense something different.
Although they didn't say it outright, it was clear that the relationship between Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian had crossed the line from ambiguous friendship. Xiao Yi Xian's unconscious reliance on Gu Fei and his patient care made this evident to Ziyan and Qing Lin.
One day, as they were chatting in a room, Ziyan lazily sat beside Gu Fei, almost lying on the table.
She glanced sideways at Gu Fei, who was carefully combing Xiao Yi Xian's hair, her curiosity barely contained.

"Big Brother Gu Fei, you and Sister Xiao Yi Xian... did something happen in that altar?"
Ziyan squinted her eyes, giggling with an innocent look, but her question was quite blunt- who asks something so directly?
Her gaze locked onto their intertwined hands after Gu Fei finished combing Xiao Yi Xian's hair, her stare intense.
Before Gu Fei could answer, Xiao Yi Xian, sitting nearby, straightened up. Her face was already flushed red, her lips trembling as she struggled to speak, her eyes darting around.
"Kids shouldn't ask such things."
Gu Fei chuckled helplessly, gently squeezing Xiao Yi Xian's hand for comfort.
The warmth of his hand made Xiao Yi Xian blush even more.
With his other hand, Gu Fei playfully knocked on Ziyan's forehead, producing a crisp sound, ending the conversation with a yelp from Ziyan.
Qing Lin feels curiosity, Emotion Value +70
Qing Lin, being more reserved, didn't ask directly like Ziyan, but her curious gaze still lingered on them.
Gu Fei laughed. These two girls were really nosy.
After a few more days, seeing that Xiao Yi Xian had fully recovered without any lingering issues, Gu Fei prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Gu Fei gave the Ye family a jade slip.
This was a spatial jade slip. In the future, if the Ye family ever needed Gu Fei's help, they could
crush it to summon him.
"Thank you, Senior!"
"Safe travels, Senior!"
After Gu Fei explained its use, Ye Zhong and the others were full of gratitude as they
respectfully saw Gu Fei and his group off.
Having resolved Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body, Gu Fei's actions in Central Plains became
more leisurely.
After all, now that he had reached the Dou Venerate level, his body constantly absorbed Dou
Qi.
So he didn't worry about a little relaxation affecting his cultivation.
One day, Gu Fei suddenly remembered the soul of Venerable Tian Huo sealed within his ring.
"We're already in Central Plaints now!"
Gu Fei unsealed the soul, and Tian Huo appeared, his voice ringing out.
"Thank you, young friend!"
Seeing the outside world, Venerable Tian Huo's eyes were filled with joy as he glanced around.
Then, his gaze fell on Gu Fei, full of astonishment.
Tian Huo feels surprise, Emotion Value +50
Venerable Tian Huo couldn't believe that in just a few months, Gu Fei's level had risen from
Dou Ancestor to Dou Venerable!
Such talent was nothing short of monstrous.
"Young friend, your cultivation talent is truly the best I've seen in my lifetime..."
Venerable Tian Huo praised.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke, somewhat awkwardly, "Young friend, I see that your soul power far exceeds that of ordinary people, and you possess a Heavenly Flame.
You must be an alchemist, right?"
Gu Fei nodded, already guessing what he might ask next.
"I have an impolite request: could you help me craft a body?"
"A Dou Technique scroll is just for bringing you out. It's not enough to make a body!"
Gu Fei shook his head with a smile.
"If young friend is willing to help me regain my body, I would be at your service from then
on!"
Venerable Tian Huo pleaded.
He was willing to go all out to regain his physical form.
Moreover, following Gu Fei wasn't shameful for Venerable Tian Huo.
In the original story, Xiao Yan was too weak. Even when he asked Venerable Tian Huo to be his bodyguard, the latter reluctantly agreed, setting a short time limit.
But Gu Fei, so young and already at the Dou Venerate level, had limitless potential, possibly
even reaching Dou Saint. Following him wouldn't be a blow to his pride.
Seeing Venerable Tian Huo's anxious expression, Gu Fei hesitated for a moment.
Given his status, he didn't really need a follower. His clan's elders were all powerful.
However, considering that he might sometimes need to act alone during his travels, having a strong bodyguard for Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin could be beneficial.
So, without much hesitation, Gu Fei nodded in agreement.
