Chapter 1648: “The Secret Worry of the Blood Fiend Pce (6)”
Towards the favour her father showed to her, it wasn’t that Gu Xin Yan was oblivious to it. She had brought it up before but Gu Yi had changed the subject to divert her attention away from it.
It wasn’t that the very young Gu Xin Yan had not wanted to be on close terms with Gu Ying. Gu Yi only had that one pair of children and Gu Ying had been blessed with extremely good looks which just made the very young Gu Xin Yan yearn to get close to him.
Initially, the rtionship between the two was not so distant. At that time, Gu Xin Yan had always tottered along on her two short legs behind, calling out to her Big Brother Gu Ying incessantly. But it was not known from when it started that Gu Ying began to distant himself away from her, even employing highly bloody and gory methods to drive fear into her, not wanting her to take a single step closer.
Gradually, the two of them grew more and more distant. Gu Ying’s brutality terrified Gu Xin Yan terribly.
The melodious sounds of string instruments yed and the dancers twirled within the Blood Fiend Pce while the youths who had juste back watched on enraptured.
No one even noticed that the one who should have been ced right at Gu Yi’s side, but had been stopped and instead seated right in a corner, the Young Lord, Gu Ying.
He sat in a ce where the brightnterns’ light did not reach, in dim darkness, like he did not fit in with everything happening there.
He sipped quietly at the wine, the corners of his mouth lifted in wild and uninhibited smile as he watched the celebratory festivities of music and dance.
“I heard that when all of you were on your way back, there was an incident that ured?” Gu Yi turned to Gu Xin Yan and asked, a smile on his face.
Gu Xin Yan was slightly taken aback and she asked: “Is Father talking about the incident between the Pure Grace Pce and the Dragon yers Pce?”
Gu Yi nodded.
The position of the Dragon yers Pce among the Twelve Pces was just beneath that of the Blood Fiend Pce and the me Demons Pce, and it could be said that they were highly powerful while the Pure Grace Pce was a little weaker than them. Originally, there was no conflict between these two pces but after they all came down from Mount Fu Yao, there had been an unexpected ident.
Justing out from Mount Fu Yao, the routes the various pces took werergely simr where they would take a short break after having travelled for a day and the pces were not all that far away from each other.
But just as the respective pces were at rest, an incident that was not neither all that big norpletely too small a deal urred.
A disciple from the Pure Grace Pce, whom it was not known whether it was from lust driven courage or something else, actually dared to attempt to attempt to take advantage of the Dragon yers Pce’s Fei Yan, which stirred up quite a big ruckus then.
Fei Yan had been one of the top names in thest Battle of Deities Grand Meet and had gained the attention of quite a number of people. Although “a girl”, she possessed power in no way inferior to any of the other male youths and she was newfound strength that the Dragon yers Pce wanted to groom and grow, a person greatly valued.
But besides possessing a highly powerful Ring Spirit and exemry powers, Fei Yan was also blessed with highly eye catching looks. Her beauty had also attracted quite a bit of attention from the exuberant youths. But most of them were sensible enough to not dare go provoke the Dragon yers Pce and could only hide their thoughts, keeping them to themselves.
However, a disciple from the Pure Grace Pce had been daringly audacious who had waited till the night fell silent and quiet when he coaxed Fei Yan to go into the dense forest, seeking tomit atrocities against her. In the end, the disciple had been wounded by Fei Yan’s Ring Spirit where the mour had then startled people from the various pces awake.
That incident had immediately caused people from the Dragon yers Pce and the Pure Grace Pce to immediately get into an argument. If not for the fact that there were people from other pces there, the people from those two pces might have just slugged it out there and then.
Gu Yi listened till Gu Xin Yan finished her words and his mouth then revealed a sneer.
“I am thinking that the matter is not that simple right? That Fei Yan possesses significant power and the bunch of youths from the Pure Grace Pce would hardly be her match, so how could they possibly go provoke her so ignorantly? I am of the mind that this matter has been the intentional work of the Dragon yers Pce.”
