"Huh, how did she come back?" Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Yunzhi also looked up and asked, "Who is she?"
Where their gazes met, a beautiful woman dressed in what seemed to be a school uniform was leaning against a large tree, with a long sword at her waist. She had a tall and slender figure, but what caught the most attention were her round and slender legs, which were so alluring that even the enchanting Yafei couldn't compare. "Xiao Yu?" Xiao Yan frowned as he stared at the tall beauty. "Didn't she go to the Jia Nan Academy for further studies? Why is she back?"
Gu Yunzhi knew about Xiao Yu's situation, but didn't want to force himself to speak first, so he asked, "What will happen when she comes back?"
With a smirk, Xiao Yan rubbed his slightly aching forehead and awkwardly said, "This 'Xiao Yu' is a troublesome woman. Back then, I accidentally stumbled into the hot spring where she was bathing in the back mountains, and then unintentionally touched her thigh. As a result, this crazy woman chased me for half a year."
Xiao Yan's words made Gu Yunzhi raise an eyebrow slightly, a playful glint flashing in her eyes. "Xiao Yan, it seems like you really are quite the ladies' man. First it was Yafei, and now it's Xiao Yu."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Xiao Yan's face as he scratched his head and explained, "No, Yun Zhi, it's all a misunderstanding. I really don't have any feelings for Xiao Yu."
Gu Yunzhi chuckled lightly, her eyes carrying a hint of teasing.
Xiao Yan felt Gu Yunzhi's teasing, and his embarrassed expression became even more obvious, causing him to sigh helplessly.
He continued, "This woman is Xiao Ning's sister, and neither of them are good people. There's a reason why that guy is so hostile towards me."
When Xiao Yu turned to look at Xiao Yan, Gu Yunzhi also noticed her change in expression. Xiao Yu paused for a moment, then furrowed her brows, a hint of disdain and disgust showing in her beautiful eyes.
Looking at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before deciding to approach her. Xiao Yan furrowed his brows, feeling impatient with Xiao Yu's appearance.
Xiao Yu sneered, "Hey, Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to have a chance to fight back. It's really surprising."
Xiao Yan showed obvious unfriendliness towards Xiao Yu, no longer maintaining the usual calmness, and responded directly, "It's none of your business."
Xiao Yu continued with a cold smile, "Your mouth is still so sharp. It seems that the three years of hardship haven't weakened your personality."
Xiao Yan felt extremely impatient with Xiao Yu's words, completely losing his usual calmness and bluntly replying, "Do you have the right to care?"
Looking down at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu deliberately spoke in a condescending tone, "Your mouth is still so sharp. It seems that three years of low tide have not dulled your edge."
Xiao Yan casually looked at Xiao Yu as if nothing had happened, then his gaze stopped at her sexy long legs and jokingly said, "Your legs are still so long. I wonder if any other men have touched them since that year."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's face instantly turned pale.
Gu Yunzhi quietly observed the awkward conversation from the side.
Xiao Yu was touched by Xiao Yan's words, which hit a rather sensitive spot. Her face instantly turned ashen, and she quickly reached for the hilt of her long sword at her waist.
With a slight smirk, Xiao Yan gazed at Xiao Yu's ashen face and lazily leaned back, asking, "Do you want to fight?"
Xiao Yu tightly gripped the sword handle, suppressing the urge, and sneered, "What's the benefit of fighting! Even if your strength has somewhat returned, what can you do? Three years ago, I Xiao Yu once drove you out of the valley, and three years later, I can do the same."
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yu's chest beneath the light purple school uniform she was wearing, where there were three golden stars, indicating that her strength had reached the level of a three-star fighter, showing significant progress during her one-year study at the academy.
He said lightly, "Are you dressed like this just for men to look at?"
Xiao Yu heard this and her face turned even colder. She gritted her teeth but did not respond. Gu Yunzhi observed this awkward conversation from the side.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu drew the long sword from his waist and pointed it at Xiao Yan, threateningly saying, "You little brat, believe me or not, I'll cut off your tongue!"
But Xiao Yan was not afraid at all. He calmly responded, "Why don't you give it a try?" At the same time, his right palm slightly curled, gathering powerful suction. As someone who possessed three different mysterious-level combat skills, he was not afraid of the threat from a three-star fighter.
Observing all this, Gu Yunzhi noticed Xiao Zhan and the others hurrying towards them. She smiled and reminded, "Uncle Xiao, they are coming over."
Upon hearing Gu Yunzhi's reminder, Xiao Yu furrowed her brows slightly, turned around to see Xiao Zhan and the others rushing over. She knew that continuing to argue at this point would be meaningless, so she left coldly.
Looking at Xiao Yu's back, Xiao Yan sighed and his expression returned to calm. He muttered under his breath, "She's such an annoying woman."
Gu Yunzhi murmured softly on the side, "Xiao Yan, you may deceive others, but you can't deceive someone who has read novels. Back then, you deliberately intruded into Xiao Yu's bathing place. You're young and mischievous, always thinking about irrelevant things. I must correct you properly later."
Xiao Yan I don't know why, but suddenly felt a chill behind me, as if someone was staring at me fiercely.
" Yan, are you okay? What happened with Xiao Yu just now?" Xiao Zhan quickly walked over and, seeing Xiao Yan unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a furrowed brow.
"Father, I'm fine. That woman suddenly had a fit of madness," Xiao Yan replied casually, while also glancing at Gu Yunzhi standing nearby.
Gu Yunzhi smiled slightly and said slowly, " Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu may just be emotionally unstable, don't take it too seriously."
Xiao Zhan reminded again, "Try to avoid her a little, this girl has a really stubborn temper, and now she's already a three-star fighter. If she starts a fight, you'll be at a disadvantage. Moreover, she is the granddaughter of the Elder, if there's a fight, it will be difficult for me to punish her."
Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, no more words.
Xiao Zhan turned around and said, "Come, Yan, Yun Zhi, let me introduce you. This is Miss Yafei, the chief auctioneer of the Temeer auction house. The last bottle of Foundation Essence was obtained through her auction." He stepped aside and introduced Yafei standing behind him in a friendly manner.
"Father, both Yun Zhi and I are fine. That woman is just a little emotionally unstable," Xiao Yan confirmed their safety again, while also indicating that Gu Yunzhi was not affected.
Xiao Zhan nodded and reminded, "It's still better to be careful, Xiao Yu has a bad temper."
"Thank you for your concern, Dad. I will pay attention," Xiao Yan promised.
Xiao Zhan turned and introduced, "Come, Xiao Yan, let me introduce you. This is Miss Yafei, the chief auctioneer of Temir Auction House. It was from her that we acquired the bottle of Foundation Essence at the last auction." He stepped aside to let Yafei, who was standing behind him, be introduced in a friendly manner.
Xiao Yan slightly bowed to Yafei and said, "Hello, Yafei."
Gu Yunzhi also smiled and politely bowed to Yafei. Yafei then stared deeply at the two, especially Gu Yunzhi. They had competed against each other at the auction, and she understood that Gu Yunzhi had a slight edge in beauty and temperament, which made her feel a hint of competition in her heart.
"Xiao Yan, I heard that you broke through four stages of Qi of Fight within a year? This news has been spreading like wildfire in Utan City. Is it true?" Yafei asked Xiao Yan, while paying attention to his reaction.
Xiao Yan smiled and replied, "It's all thanks to the Foundation Essence my father purchased."
Yafei listened and felt a stir in her heart, knowing that the Foundation Essence indeed had the effect of increasing cultivation speed. However, she also understood that Xiao Yan's rapid cultivation speed did not solely come from this. She secretly pondered the secret of this young master.
Xiao Zhan noticed the time and smiled as he said to the two of them, "Alright, the Rite of passage is about to begin. I need to go prepare some things. You two better not embarrass yourselves during the ceremony."
Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi both nodded in understanding. When Xiao Zhan left, Yafei's gaze lingered on Gu Yunzhi for a moment, feeling that her figure was quite familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Yafei understood that the identity behind this young woman was probably not simple.
