Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 120 Xun'er: Do you think this will make Brother Gu Fei marry you? Don't even think about it!

"He actually refused outright?"

Upon hearing Gu Fei's answer, Huo Zhi, who was sitting in the next seat, looked surprised.

A faint ripple appeared in her bright eyes, which were originally as calm as a deep pool.

At the same time, a strange sense of loss welled up in Huo Zhi's heart.

Originally, she was quite dissatisfied with the "marriage proposal" arranged by the clan elders. What kind of woman would be so eager for a man to marry her?

Moreover, she was confident in her talent and looked down on ordinary men.

However, she had a different feeling towards Gu Fei at this moment.

Of course, this difference initially stemmed from Gu Fei's terrifying cultivation talent and his ability to fuse multiple different flames, but ultimately it was Gu Fei's refusal that caused the change.

Huo Zhi was a strong-willed woman. Although she was not the top in the Yan Clan, there were others in the clan who were on par with her, but none of them could catch her eye.

She's finally found someone she likes, but he doesn't like her back.

"Great, Gu Fei really didn't want this Yan Clan woman..."

Unlike Huo Zhi, Xun Er, who was sitting opposite her, instantly had a bright smile on her pretty face. Then Xun Er even gave Huo Zhi a provocative look.

It seemed to be mocking Huo Zhi, laughing at how no man would want her even though she was actively pursuing him.

"snort……"

Huo Zhi caught Xun'er's provocative gaze, which aroused Huo Zhi's competitive spirit.

"Since you think Gu Fei won't marry me, then I'll still try my best..."

Huo Zhi made a decision in her heart. This decision was not only because of competing with Xun'er, but also partly because of Gu Fei.

At this moment, everyone at the banquet fell into a brief silence because of Gu Fei's answer.

The Fire Radiance Elder of the Flame Clan had a somewhat awkward expression on his face.

Although Gu Fei's words were an expression of his thoughts, they were nothing short of a direct slap in the face for the Yan Clan members.

They traveled a long way to propose marriage, only to be directly rejected, leaving them unsure how to handle the situation.

"Young Master Gu Fei, this is only our first meeting today. Perhaps your thoughts will change as we spend more time together in the future..."

"How about we give each other some time to get to know each other..."

Just as Gu Lie was about to say something to ease the tension, Huo Zhi suddenly stood up.

At this moment, all the displeasure on Huo Zhi's face disappeared, and she displayed the vitality and enthusiasm unique to an eighteen-year-old girl.

He exudes youthful energy!

"What's wrong with this woman?"

Hearing Huo Zhi's answer, Gu Fei frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Am I that charming?

This is only our first meeting, and the other person is already insisting on marrying me?

"Indeed, judging from Huo Zhi's personality, she gets along quite well with Gu Fei..."

An elder of the ancient clan nodded, clearly indicating that Huo Zhi behaved quite generously and sincerely in this situation.

At this moment, more than half of the ancient clan elders approved of the marriage.

In the eyes of these old folks, the union of the two races' prodigies was a very suitable match.

"That girl, Huo Zhi, is still so reckless..."

Elder Huo Yao's expression was somewhat serious. To put it bluntly, Huo Zhi's actions were tantamount to shamelessly begging someone to marry her.

If Gu Fei were to refuse again, the Yan Clan would likely lose all face.

"Gu Fei, matters of marriage are hard to predict, so it's best not to make a decision too soon..."

"Think about it more!"

A voice rang out from above the hall, and everyone looked up to see Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient clan, sitting at the head of the hall.

This man is Gu Fei's former father-in-law. Last time, when Gu Fei wanted to divorce Xun'er, Gu Yuan said something similar to what he said today.

They really know how to smooth things over!

Although Gu Yuan did not exude any pressure at this moment, his calm demeanor still commanded respect from everyone in the hall.

Gu Yuan's prestige stemmed not only from being the patriarch of the ancient clan, but more so from his terrifying cultivation level, which surpassed all others.

Gu Lie knew the implications; Gu Yuan's words were meant to save face for the Yan Clan delegation.

"Child, since the Yan Clan is so sincere, you should spend some time with Huo Zhi for now!"

Gu Lie advised Gu Fei beside him.

Originally, Gu Fei had mustered up the courage not to listen to Gu Yuan this time.

But now that his grandfather Gu Lie had spoken, he nodded in agreement.

Anyway, he agreed this time, but it's not really about getting married. He can find a reason to refuse at any time after the banquet.

"Hehe, young people like that, spend more time together, maybe they'll develop feelings for each other!"

Elder Huoyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least, the ancient clan had taken care of the Yan clan's feelings at this banquet.

Whether this matter can be accomplished depends on whether Huo Zhi has the ability.

"How could Father try to smooth things over like this?"

Seeing that things had developed to this point, Xun'er's face turned very ugly.

She harbored resentment towards her father, Gu Yuan.

If Gu Yuan hadn't spoken up, this matter might have ended there. But now that Huo Zhi remains in the Ancient Realm, the future is uncertain.

The banquet continued, and Huo Zhi took the initiative to come to Gu Fei's side.

In terms of appearance, Huo Zhi is definitely a rare beauty, and she also has a mysterious aura that the other younger generation of the ancient clans envy.

"Young Master Gu Fei, would you like a drink?"

Huo Zhi Chao Gu Fei raised his wine glass, his arm outstretched, his demeanor graceful and poised.

Her beauty possessed a mysterious charm that made people want to explore and unveil the mystery.

"Miss Himeko, please!"

Gu Fei raised his glass but didn't say much, which made Huo Zhi a little embarrassed.

"I've heard that Young Master Gu Fei is quite accomplished in alchemy. There are very few alchemists like you who are proficient in alchemy and can still cultivate without neglecting their practice..."

Even though she was met with indifference, Huo Zhi continued to try and find topics to talk about.

Gu Fei responded politely with a few words.

"snort!"

Seeing Huo Zhi and Gu Fei chatting, Xun'er was furious, especially since Huo Zhi had given her a look halfway through their conversation.

That look in her eyes was exactly the same as the look Xun'er gave Huo Zhi when she provoked her. Now she's getting her revenge.

"Do you think this will change Brother Gu Fei's mind...?" Xun'er clenched her small fists and drank alone in silence.

Although other young men from the ancient tribe came up to her and tried to chat her up, she ignored them all.

Finally, Xun'er endured until the banquet ended, and she went to find her father alone.

"Father, why did you stop Gu Fei just now? Wasn't it better that he refused?"

Xun'er spoke with a wronged expression.

"Xun'er, for Gu Fei, the Flame Clan's Fire Child is indeed a good match... Could it be that you still want to get back together with him?"

Gu Yuan frowned slightly.
