Hearing Zhu Fei’s response, Gu Youlan’s face imdiately broke into a smile.
She nodded at Zhu Fei, "Good, then from now on, you, Zhu Fei, are officially my boyfriend."
With that, Gu Youlan did not avoid it and reached straight out to link her arm with Zhu Fei’s, her beautiful eyes once again looking towards Gu Cangyue,
"Father, you should have seen it by now, I am now Zhu Fei’s girlfriend. I hope you won’t bring up matters involving the Xiahou family to in the future, alright?"
Gu Cangyue was enraged.
He paid no attention to Gu Youlan but instead fixed his gaze, coldly staring at Zhu Fei with a terrifying aura that instantly pressured Zhu Fei again!
"Kid, if it weren’t for the fact that you ca here to help our Treasure Pavilion, I’d really want to split you in two right now!"
After a pause, Gu Cangyue continued coldly, "If I’m not wrong, you must also be a cultivator, right? You better think carefully, the Xiahou family is one of the Ten Great Sects of the Kunlun Xuan Realm, are you not afraid that your decision now will bring great disaster upon you in the future?"
Zhu Fei scoffed disdainfully.
He gazed at Gu Cangyue, just as coldly responding, "If cultivators are afraid of this and that, they might as well just be ordinary people."
After pausing, Zhu Fei continued in a cold voice, "Now that You Lan is my girlfriend, I will not allow anyone to covet her. If the Xiahou family really wants to cause trouble later on, let them co at , I, Zhu Fei, will take on this karma!"
"Hmph! Young man, not knowing the imnsity of heaven and earth, such brashness!"
Gu Cangyue sneered with disdain.
"You, a re Qi Refining cultivator, by what right do you challenge the Xiahou family? And by what right do you beco my daughter’s boyfriend? I might as well tell you here and now, using my current thods, I have no less than a hundred ways to make you completely disappear from this world!"
His implication was that if Gu Cangyue truly wanted to kill Zhu Fei, he needn’t exert any effort to do it easily.
And the Xiahou family in the far-off Kunlun Xuan Realm is who knows how many tis stronger than Gu Cangyue.
If even Gu Cangyue could easily kill Zhu Fei, let alone the distant Xiahou family.
Zhu Fei’s eyes had already narrowed significantly.
He looked at Gu Cangyue and suddenly asked coldly, "Master Gu, is there a need to continue with such nonsense? Why don’t you just give it to straight, what exactly do you want?"
The mont Zhu Fei’s words fell, everyone present, including Gu Yanran, couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Their eyes strangely turned to Zhu Fei, never expecting that Zhu Fei would be so bold as to openly accuse Gu Cangyue of spouting nonsense.
Even Gu Youlan, standing beside him, frowned slightly and turned her head to look at Zhu Fei in so astonishnt and confusion.
"Ha ha! Reckless madman, you really do have guts!"
Gu Cangyue laughed loudly.
But in his eyes, was there a hint of mirth? It was clearly endless coldness!
His gaze sharpened as he looked at Zhu Fei, finally nodding firmly, "Good, very good! Since that’s the case, how about we make a bet?"
"I’d like to hear the details!"
Zhu Fei’s aura also began to grow sharper, as he t Gu Cangyue’s gaze without a trace of fear on his face.
"It’s simple, if you can resolve the crisis of our Treasure Pavilion this ti, then I’ll consider you the winner, and I will no longer interfere with you and You Lan’s affairs in the future, nor will I let her marry Xiahou Sheng later."
"However, if you cannot et my just demands, then please return from whence you ca, and never again associate with You Lan. You Lan must also agree to marry Xiahou Sheng, is that understood?"
Gu Cangyue’s eyes were sharp as lightning, his gaze fixed on Zhu Fei with an extrely forceful stance.
The posture he held seed to suggest that if Zhu Fei were to refuse, Gu Cangyue would physically throw him out right then and there.
"I disagree!"
However, before Zhu Fei could respond, Gu Youlan had already flatly rejected the proposal.
Her face had turned completely ice-cold, and her beautiful eyes brimd with anger that seed near impossible to contain.
She understood clearly that if Zhu Fei agreed to her father’s terms, he would be entirely at a disadvantage and could even face mortal danger.
"Zhu Fei, do you dare to accept this bet? If you don’t, then please refrain from ddling in the affairs of the Gu family any longer, and I will have soone escort you away from here, down the back mountain."
Gu Cangyue completely ignored Gu Youlan’s anger, his gaze still firmly fixed on Zhu Fei.
"Zhu Fei, don’t mind him, let’s go!"
Seeing that Gu Cangyue had disregarded her, Gu Youlan’s expression finally shifted slightly.
She grabbed Zhu Fei’s hand, intending to leave the hall without another word.
But before she could even take a step, Zhu Fei addressed Gu Cangyue: "Master Gu, is the bet you just proposed truly legitimate? If I really win, you won’t go back on your word, will you?"
"Zhu Fei! You...!"
Gu Youlan was genuinely shocked, staring blankly at Zhu Fei, unable to believe that he was actually considering accepting this bet.
"You Lan, no matter what, this is our only chance, and I refuse to give up like this."
Zhu Fei said with a gentle yet resolutely firm tone, patting Gu Youlan’s delicate hands with a smile.
In truth, Zhu Fei was also feeling imnse pressure at that mont.
He knew that he was gambling with Gu Youlan’s entire future, and if he lost, what he faced would be a lifeti of regret and a shadow in his heart that could never be erased.
Yet facing the overwhelming pressure from Gu Cangyue at that mont, Zhu Fei had no other choice.
Should he give up now, the outco would be no different from losing the bet.
Rather than that, he would rather fight with all his might, staking even his future prospects on this bet.
After all, a cultivator’s ntal state must not show the slightest flaw.
If Zhu Fei lost this bet, it would indelibly mark his Dao heart with a fissure that could never be nded.
Gu Youlan naturally understood this as well, and so, upon hearing Zhu Fei’s decision, her usually unflappable eyes finally showed a hint of softness.
Zhu Fei gave Gu Youlan a reassuring smile, then turned his gaze back to Gu Cangyue and said:
"Elder, if you stand by your word, then I, Zhu Fei, accept this bet. Should I fall, I will have no complaints or regrets!"
Hearing Zhu Fei’s decisive words, not only did Gu Yanran and others show a change in their expression, even Gu Cangyue himself was inwardly moved.
However, he didn’t show it outwardly, instead nodding with a slightly complex expression on his face.
"Since we have agreed it’s a bet, I, Gu Cangyue, naturally will not go back on my word. As long as you can help Treasure Pavilion out of its current predicant, I will fulfill our agreent."
