Chapter 4: Hold It In:
“Really? Oh my, I don’t even know where my son has run off to. Please wait a moment, I’ll call someone to pack his things right away.” Gu Yansheng said, overwhelmed with joy and a bit flustered.
Just as he reached the doorway, Ye Fan rushed in.
He approached the elder and asked, “Are you an elder from the Zhengyuan Sect?”
“Who are you?” The elder looked at Ye Fan with some confusion, then glanced at Gu Yansheng.
“I’m Ye Fan, an outer disciple of Lingyun Sect. I heard you say that the Zhengyuan Sect wants to accept Gu Feng as an outer disciple, right? His character is terrible. Today, he even openly disrespected the Lingyun Sect in front of my master…”
“Ye Fan, gossiping behind someone’s back is not a good habit.” Gu Feng’s voice was cool and carried a hint of mockery.
Ye Fan turned and saw Gu Feng in a long black robe and holding a fan, walking ahead.
Beside him was Liu Fengqing, and behind them were people from the Lingyun Sect.
Ye Fan’s face turned pale.
Did they hear everything he just said?
“Did I not speak the truth?” Ye Fan, enraged, shouted.
The elders of Lingyun Sect chose this moment to speak up and apologize, “Elder Liu, Ye Fan is a newly accepted outer disciple of ours. Young people can be impulsive.”
Ye Fan couldn’t believe it.
The elder who had praised him earlier was now looking apologetically at the person beside Gu Feng.
Liu Fengqing glanced at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng gestured slightly, indicating that he could handle this matter.
“It’s just a childish grudge. However, Gu Feng is my last disciple, and I don’t want to hear such rumors again in the future.”
The last disciple!
Ye Fan’s face turned ashen.
Judging by the elders’ attitudes toward Liu Fengqing, he knew Liu Fengqing’s status was high.
He was just an outer disciple, but Gu Feng had already become the last disciple of an elder?
Jealousy, unwillingness, and a burning anger filled Ye Fan’s chest.
“Alright, I’m not that petty. Ye Fan, we’ll both be disciples of the sect from now on. Train well and don’t disgrace the Gu family. After all, you also came from the Gu family.” Gu Feng said as he gracefully brushed past Ye Fan.
The black robe highlighted his handsome features.
In contrast, Ye Fan’s rough clothes and jealous expression stood out starkly.
Among the crowd, Ling Xue’s eyes darkened.
Was Ye Fan jealous of Gu Feng from the beginning?
She recalled Ye Fan’s constant ridicule in their past life.
He always told her that Gu Feng was trash and a play_boy.
He said that Gu Feng always tried to outdo him, driven by a strong desire to win…
But was that really the case?
Her mind was in turmoil.
Looking at Gu Feng’s cold expression, she felt she should ask.
If he, like her, had been reborn, then…
“Beauty, you’ve been staring at me since we first met. Is there something on my face?” Gu Feng’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
Ling Xue realized she had unconsciously followed Gu Feng into the Gu family’s backyard.
Since she was already here, she decided to ask directly.
“Gu Feng, do you not remember me?” She stared intently into his eyes.
After a thousand years of dedication, Gu Feng had no interest in this aloof beauty.
His previous affection had been an act.
Now, returning to his true self, he showed no sign of affection.
Gu Feng frowned slightly, “I don’t remember.”
With these three words, he left, leaving Ling Xue standing there with complex emotions.
When Ye Fan found her, she was still standing there.
“Senior Sister Ling Xue, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Ye Fan’s concerned look, Ling Xue shook her head silently.
She felt like she had lost something important.
A love of over a thousand years couldn’t just disappear in an instant.
So Gu Feng hadn’t been reborn.
When did he fall in love with her in the past?
“Ye Fan, does Gu Feng have someone he likes?” Ling Xue asked, her eyes still showing a trace of sadness.
She didn’t notice Ye Fan’s expression darkening.
She only heard Ye Fan’s stiff reply, “I don’t know.”
Meanwhile, Gu Feng was packing his things and listening to the system’s chatter.
[Are you sure you want to stay away from the protagonist and female leads? Their fates are extraordinary]
“Oh, if you have the ability, go ahead and take it from them.” Gu Feng retorted coldly.
What protagonist and female leads?
If he could strip their fate, could they still be called the protagonist and female leads?
The protagonist was supposed to be able to challenge higher levels.
No matter what was done, he couldn’t be killed, and any action against him would only make him stronger.
Moreover, if Gu Feng acted against the protagonist and female leads, the Heavenly Dao would certainly target him.
Forget about going home; he’d be dead for sure.
He decided to play it safe and target other areas, slowly but surely.
[Actually, the system has found that suppressing the protagonist can also increase your fortune]
The system timidly replied.
“Just now, your fortune increased by 10 points.”
Gu Feng stopped what he was doing.
“Really?”
