BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

Chapter 9: The Truth Revealed!



Gu Fei was known for his kindness and humility, and his love for Xun'er ran deep. Even though Xun'er had hurt him, Gu Fei, despite his pain, would never stoop to killing Xiao Yan.

Some kind-hearted members of the Gu clan tried to persuade Xun'er.

"Miss Xun'er, could there be a misunderstanding?"

"Yes, how could Brother Gu Fei possibly want to harm someone?"

Seeing everyone around her defending Gu Fei, Xun'er stomped her foot in frustration, her eyes reddening.

"None of you believe me?"

"Gu Fei is clearly jealous of Xiao Yan, so he wants to destroy him!"

Angry and losing control, Xun'er blurted out her thoughts. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them.

Xun'er experiences regret, emotion value +100

However, regret was futile. Once words are spoken, they can't be taken back.

Xun'er's voice wasn't loud, but with her Dou Qi infused into it, Gu Fei heard everything clearly from the top of the mountain.

Faced with Xun'er's accusations and unreasonable behavior, even the normally mild- tempered Gu Fei began to feel annoyed. However, this only strengthened his resolve to go through with the divorce.

Today, Xun'er could come and accuse him based on an unfounded claim. Tomorrow, would she bring Xiao Yan to his mountain openly?

Gu Fei sneered, glancing down the mountain slowly. He then shut the window, ignoring the furious Xun'er.

Gu Fei didn't bother to explain anything.

When one is determined to find fault, any excuse will suffice.

He had never done what he was accused of, but if Xun'er believed he did, then so be it.

Let her be the unreasonable one.

It was just getting too noisy.

Gu Fei sighed and set up a formation around his house, restoring the silence inside.

A faint scent of medicine lingered in the air as Gu Fei picked up a small pill to inspect it.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Another success.

While Gu Fei was immersed in refining medicine, elsewhere, Gu Yuan had already learned of the absurd incident that occurred at the base of Gu Fei's mountain today.

Xun'er, visibly unhappy, stood by Gu Yuan, her brows furrowed.

She had been grounded again, and this time, Gu Yuan himself had set up the formation. Even if she spent three days and nights, she wouldn't be able to break it.

"Reflect on your actions properly. Today was too much!"

Xun'er glared at him and pouted.

"I will personally investigate this matter and give both you and Gu Fei an explanation." With that, he left.

After a thorough investigation, Gu Yuan's findings made him frown unconsciously.

What he discovered was that Gu Fei hadn't spoken to anyone.

For nearly a month, Gu Fei had completely isolated himself on his mountain.

He had spent the entire month refining medicine, and no one had come close to his house.

There was no way Gu Fei could have arranged for someone to kill Xiao Yan!

This conclusion, after thorough verification, was indisputable.

That should have been the end of it, but Xun'er kept demanding answers, so Gu Yuan had no choice but to dig deeper.

Following the trail, he uncovered someone completely unrelated to the matter.

That person was Gu Yao! Gu Yuan sent someone to invite Gu Yao to the hall for a talk.

Gu Yao, having dared to send someone to assassinate Xiao Yan, wasn't afraid of being held accountable.

After all, Xiao Yan was just a useless person. Who would care about his life?

Gu Yuan questioned Gu Yao sternly, and Gu Yao didn't hesitate to admit to the deed.

It was expected, but still surprising, and Gu Yuan didn't punish him.

Who was Gu Yao, and who was Xiao Yan?

Xiao Yan belonged to a declining clan. If it weren't for Xun'er pressing the matter, Gu Yuan wouldn't have bothered to investigate.

A giant stepping on an ant-who would care?

Even if Gu Yao's men had succeeded in killing Xiao Yan, someone like Gu Yuan, the leader of a reclusive powerful clan, wouldn't care.

Moreover, Gu Yao told him that Xiao Yan wasn't dead.

His subordinates reported that Xiao Yan was gravely injured and missing, seemingly saved by

a mysterious expert.

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised by this.

According to his intelligence, Xiao Yan's current strength wasn't worth his attention.

Furthermore, neither the Xiao clan nor the entire Wu Tan City had a supreme expert.

Who was the powerful figure behind Xiao Yan?

But Gu Yuan quickly dismissed this from his mind, as he was busy with many other things.

He had already gone out of his way for Xun'er by looking into this. Thinking of his headstrong daughter, Gu Yuan sighed deeply. Because of this incident, Xun'er refused to believe her husband.

She had once wanted to mend her relationship with Gu Fei.

Now, she ignored all evidence and stubbornly blamed Gu Fei.

'If it weren't for Gu Fei, how could Brother Xiao Yan be gravely injured, or even go missing?'

Xun'er glared angrily at the distant house at the top of the mountain.

Gu Fei, who had been staying in his house for several days, confirmed that the Sea-Boosting pill was in perfect condition.

Feeling satisfied, he began to repair his house, which had been wrecked by the Pill Lightning.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had been refining medicine to pass the time, and was reminded of the one-month cooling-off period for divorce, which he found absurd. Now that more than a month had passed, it was time to find Gu Yuan again.

Gu Fei couldn't believe that after everything, Gu Yuan would still dare to use his position as clan leader to pressure him.
