Chapter 540: Chapter 540: After All the Fuss, It Turned Out to be a Misunderstanding

"Who is it!"

At that moment, Gu Youlan and her two companions felt a slight tension in their hearts, their expressions filled with caution as they looked toward the villa’s gate.

Two years had passed, and Gu Youlan’s cultivation had already broken through to the Golden Core First Level. Together with Lv Zhen and You Fang present, the three inside the villa, without exception, were all Golden Core Cultivators.

The fact that the newcomer had managed to approach the villa without being detected by the three Golden Core Cultivators until they were just outside spoke volumes of their extraordinary strength.

...

Zhu Fei, since bidding farewell to Qiu Ruoxue and setting a time for their next meeting, had headed straight for the villa where Gu Youlan had once resided.

Time had passed, and it was clear Zhu Fei hadn’t forgotten Gu Youlan in the slightest.

His return to the Mortal World this time was primarily to seek out the women he had intimate relationships with and to take them with him, thereby severing ties with this worldly realm.

Although his relationship with Gu Youlan initially seemed like a farce or a joke.

There was no denying that Gu Youlan held a particularly special place in the heart of Zhu Fei.

Therefore, it was not surprising that he had come specifically to find Gu Youlan today.

What did surprise Zhu Fei, however, was that before his arrival, people from the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect had already come to Gu Youlan’s villa.

At this moment, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation as he looked at Gu Youlan and the others, starring at him in disbelief.

Because he noticed that in Gu Youlan’s gaze there was first astonishment, followed by shock, and then joy.

Her expression was that of someone unexpectedly rediscovering a dear one they thought they had lost.

And for Lv Zhen and You Fang of the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect, it was first shock, then disbelief, and finally, a touch of panic.

How could one describe that feeling? It was as if children, having done something shady behind an adult’s back, were caught in the act and wore the expression of being at a loss.

Strange. What was going on with them? Why did they suddenly wear such expressions? Wait, something wasn’t right. Seeing Sister Lan’s reaction, she seemed utterly unaware of his survival. Could it be that the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect hadn’t informed Sister Lan about him?

The more Zhu Fei thought about it, the more peculiar and confused he felt, prompting him to glance at Lv Zhen and You Fang. Although he didn’t speak, the questioning look in his eyes was evident to anyone.

However, this questioning expression from Zhu Fei, when it landed in the eyes of Lv Zhen and You Fang, immediately made them mistake it as an accusation from him.

Feeling guilty and now confronted with the unexpected arrival of Zhu Fei at Gu Youlan’s, it immediately struck a chord in their hearts.

Could it be... could it be that Master Zhu already knew of their plan to arrange a marriage alliance through their disciples?

This thought alone made Lv Zhen and You Fang break out in cold sweat.

Normally, such matters wouldn’t be a big deal; Zhu Fei had the final say in agreeing or refusing.

The problem was that the appearance of Zhu Fei at this moment led Lv Zhen and You Fang to wild speculation.

Since they were unclear about the true relationship between Zhu Fei and Gu Youlan, they subconsciously believed that Zhu Fei’s presence was a clear sign of dissatisfaction with their actions.

And to have Zhu Fei confront them in person about this matter left them somewhat speechless.

For a while, Lv Zhen and You Fang looked at each other, unsure of how to begin speaking.

"Two sirs, Sister Lan, as a disciple of your Ten Thousand Treasure Sect, surely you don’t intend to force her to do something against her will, do you?"

Seeing Lv Zhen and You Fang’s eyes flickering, Zhu Fei’s expression also suddenly turned slightly gloomy.

It wasn’t really Zhu Fei’s fault for the misunderstanding; given how oddly Lv Zhen and You Fang were behaving, it was hard for him not to think there was something untoward going on.

However, it would have been better if Zhu Fei hadn’t spoken up. His comment had left Lv Zhen and You Fang somewhat shocked.

Their eyes widened as a single thought flickered ceaselessly in their minds.

Sister Lan? Master Zhu refers to Gu Youlan as Sister Lan? Could it be that they knew each other already?

With this thought, shock initially filled their hearts, followed swiftly by ecstasy.

As a woman, You Fang could hardly contain herself and asked, "Master Zhu... do you, perhaps, know You Lan?"

Master Zhu?

Upon hearing You Fang’s address to Zhu Fei, Gu Youlan’s beautiful eyes narrowed immediately, and her previously icy face suddenly brightened with a smile.

Yet Zhu Fei was unaware of their prior interactions and merely nodded faintly in response, "That’s right, You Lan is my girlfriend. Why? Is there a problem?"

At this, a dangerous aura suddenly emanated from Zhu Fei.

He stared intently at Lv Zhen and You Fang—if they had indeed been giving Gu Youlan a hard time just before, then no matter if they were Elders of the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect, he was determined to make them regret it!

"There’s... no problem at all."

Suddenly feeling the dangerous aura surrounding Zhu Fei, Lv Zhen and You Fang were jolted into action, with You Fang rapidly explaining:

"Master Zhu, please don’t misunderstand. In fact, we came here with the intention of proposing a marriage alliance with You Lan for you!"

Upon finishing her sentence, You Fang seemed to deflate entirely, practically collapsing onto Lv Zhen.

One could only imagine the level of pressure Zhu Fei had just exerted on the two of them.

However, You Fang’s statement seemed to have the opposite effect on Zhu Fei, leaving him momentarily dumbfounded.

"What? What did you just say? You came over here to propose a marriage between Sister Lan and me?"

No sooner had Zhu Fei finished his retort than he felt two profound gazes land squarely on his back.

This made Zhu Fei feel a bit guilty, as he instinctively looked towards Gu Youlan with an awkward expression.

"Hehe, who would have thought, the Pavilion Master of Yue Dan Pavilion they mentioned was actually you, Zhu Fei."

Gu Youlan’s beautiful eyes narrowed into crescents as she smiled, rendering Zhu Fei speechless.

He hadn’t anticipated at all that this was all just a misunderstanding after such a commotion.

But he knew Gu Youlan’s temperament all too well; her current demeanor likely masked more reproach and anger at him, didn’t it?

After all, he had disappeared for two years, and by the time he reappeared, he had become a prominent figure whom even the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect had to court. Such a dramatic change would naturally provoke thoughts in anyone’s mind.

Despite some things not being his fault, a woman is a woman, and their thoughts can’t always be gauged by common sense.

With that in mind, Zhu Fei turned towards Gu Youlan with a smile and said, "Sister Lan, hehe, two years have passed, and you’ve become even more beautiful."
