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

Chapter 9 The Truth Revealed!

Gu Fei is a kind and generous man, yet humble and cautious, and he loves Xun'er to the core.

Xun'er hurt him, and although Gu Fei would be hurt emotionally, he would never do something like killing Xiao Yan.

Kind-hearted members of the ancient clan went to persuade Xun'er.

"Miss Xun'er, is there a mistake?"

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

Seeing that everyone around her was defending Gu Fei, Xun'er stomped her foot angrily, her eyes red.

"None of you believe me?"

"Gu Fei is clearly jealous of Xiao Yan, that's why he wants to destroy him!"

Xun'er was so angry that she blurted out something reckless.

She regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth.

Xun'er clearly didn't mean that.

Xun'er experiences regret, her emotion value increases by 100.

But regret was useless; her words were like water spilled, and could not be taken back at will.

Xun'er's voice wasn't loud, but the accompanying battle aura made it perfectly clear to Gu Fei atop the mountain.

Faced with Xun'er's questioning and unreasonable behavior, even Gu Fei, who had the best temper, became somewhat annoyed.

However, this only strengthened his resolve to get a divorce.

Today, Xun'er is able to question him about a fabricated charge.

Tomorrow, will she openly and legitimately bring Xiao Yan to her mountain peak?

Gu Fei sneered and slowly glanced down the mountain.

He closed the window, ignoring the furious Xun'er.

Gu Fei didn't bother to explain anything.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?

Since Xun'er thinks he did something he never did, let her do it.

Let Xun'er be the one who makes a fuss.

It's just a little too noisy.

Gu Fei sighed and put his hand on his forehead, then set up an array around the house once again.

The room finally fell silent again.

A faint aroma of medicinal pills lingered in Gu Fei's nostrils. Gu Fei picked up a small pill and examined it closely.

He then revealed a faint smile.

It was a success again.

While Gu Fei was engrossed in refining elixirs, Gu Yuan had already learned of the absurd events that had occurred at the foot of Gu Fei Mountain that day.

Xun'er stood beside Gu Yuan with a displeased expression and her brows furrowed.

She was confined by Gu Yuan again, and this time it was a formation set up by Gu Yuan himself that she couldn't break even after three days and three nights.

"You should really reflect on your actions; you were too disruptive today!"

Xun'er glared at him and pouted.

"I will personally investigate this matter and give you and Gu Fei an explanation."

After he finished speaking, he left.

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

His investigation revealed that Gu Fei had never spoken to anyone else.

For nearly a month, Gu Fei completely isolated himself from the outside world in his mountain peak.

He spent a full month refining the elixir, during which no one approached his house.

There's no way Gu Fei would arrange for someone to kill Xiao Yan!

This conclusion has been verified by multiple parties and is now a certainty.

The matter should have ended there, but Xun'er kept making a fuss and demanding an explanation, so Gu Fei had no choice but to continue the investigation.

Following the clues, they discovered someone who was completely unrelated to the matter.

That person was actually an ancient demon!

Gu Yuan sent someone to invite Gu Yao to the main hall for a talk.

Since Gu Yao dared to send his men to assassinate Xiao Yan, he wasn't afraid of being held accountable.

In the end, he's just a good-for-nothing. Who cares about his life or death?

After Gu Yuan seriously questioned Gu Yao, Gu Yao did not hesitate and readily admitted to the matter.

As expected yet unexpected, Gu Yuan did not punish him.

Who is Gu Yao, and who is Xiao Yan?

The Xiao family was a declining family, and if Xun'er hadn't kept asking, he wouldn't have bothered to investigate.

If an elephant tramples an ant, who would care?

Even if the people sent by the ancient demons succeeded and killed Xiao Yan.

Even a powerful figure like Gu Yuan, who was busy with countless affairs as the head of a reclusive clan, wouldn't care.

Moreover, the ancient demon told him that Xiao Yan was not dead.

His subordinates reported to him that Xiao Yan was only seriously injured and missing, and it seemed that he had been rescued by a mysterious expert.

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised to hear this.

According to his intelligence, Xiao Yan's current strength is still not good enough for him.

Moreover, there is no supreme expert in the entire Xiao family, or even in the entire Wutan City.

Who exactly is the powerful figure behind Xiao Yan's back?

However, Gu Yuan quickly put the matter out of his mind, after all, he was very busy every day.

Where would one possibly spend too much time and energy on such trivial matters?

The previous actions had already made an exception for Xun'er.

Thinking of his willful daughter, Gu Yuan couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

He therefore failed to notice the resentful expression on the ancient demon's face.

Gu Yao thought Xiao Yan was still that defenseless good-for-nothing, and he looked down on the strongest person in their family.

Therefore, the ancient demon was overconfident and only sent out low-level Dou Zong assassins.

Although low-level Dou Zong are insignificant among the ancient clans, they are completely powerless against the Xiao family.

Gu Yao waited confidently for the good news from his subordinates.

What they received was news that Xiao Yan was seriously injured and missing, and had apparently been rescued by a mysterious powerful figure.

He crushed the porcelain cup in his hand with a ferocious expression, his hatred for Xiao Yan growing stronger.

The subordinate said that Xiao Yan was completely unable to resist him at that time and was on the verge of death.

But in the next second, a dramatic change occurred.

Xiao Yan's aura surged, and the unintentional release of his power made Xiao Yan somewhat apprehensive.

The subordinate only instinctively flinched for a moment before Xiao Yan disappeared.

Fearing punishment from the ancient demon, he searched the entire area within a ten-mile radius.

But even after digging three feet into the ground, they still couldn't find that kid Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao's face darkened, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

If Xiao Yan, that good-for-nothing, gets caught again, I must kill him to vent my anger!

Because of the unprovoked assassination attempt on Xiao Yan, Xun'er had no faith in her husband.

She had previously been thinking about repairing her relationship with Gu Fei.

Right now, however, they are completely ignoring all evidence and stubbornly hating Gu Fei.

If it weren't for Gu Fei, how could Brother Xiao Yan have been seriously injured, and how could he have gone missing!

Xun'er's beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she looked displeased at a house atop a distant mountain peak.

Gu Fei stayed in the house for several days, and after verifying the situation, he confirmed that Ti Haidan was fine.

He took great interest in repairing the house, which had been left in a mess because of Danley.

Suddenly, he remembered that he was making elixirs to kill time, and then he recalled the speechless one-month cooling-off period for divorce.

Now that more than a month has passed, it's time to go and find Gu Yuan again.

Gu Fei refused to believe that after this incident, Gu Yuan would still have the audacity to use his clan leader's authority to suppress him.
