I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 107: Reunion with Bai Feier

Night in Cloud Spirit City.

At Gu's Medical Clinic, Gu Heng did not cook today. Instead, he went to the restaurant he had visited earlier and bought some fine wine and meat.

Eating out is always better than cooking at home.

Moreover, Qin Yiyao rarely goes out so far today, so when she comes back, I can't let her eat those mediocre dishes I made again.

After taking out all the dishes and arranging them on plates, I noticed that my rice was almost cooked. Just then, I heard the sound of the door opening outside, followed by the voice saying, "Master, I'm back!"

Yes, it was Qin Yiyao. He went out and saw that besides Qin Yiyao, she had also brought back a mysterious woman in a black robe.

Before Gu Heng could ask, she took off her robe, revealing a bright and delicate face that Gu Heng recognized all too well... Wasn't this Bai Feier?

"Young Master Gu, it's been quite a while since we last met."

Bai Feier bowed gracefully.

"Miss Fei'er?"

He was also quite surprised, because he hadn't heard any news about this young lady of the cultivator class since they parted ways in Qingmu City. He never expected her to suddenly appear here, and it seemed that she had a good relationship with Qin Yiyao.

"I came here simply to see Young Master Gu."

Bai Feier smiled gently, her brows filled with tenderness and tranquility.

"It's been quite a while since we last met. Please come to the back room; I've just prepared a meal." Since he had encountered an old friend, and the only cultivator he knew, Gu Heng was immediately in high spirits and invited Bai Feier to go back to the back room so they could have a meal together.

Bai Feier followed him inside without hesitation.

She had figured out Gu Heng's personality. This reclusive master was unpretentious and very friendly to everyone. Naturally, she went along with him and was no longer as reserved as before.

Qin Yiyao, standing to the side, squinted at Bai Feier, her eyes constantly scanning her, but ultimately said nothing.

The little girl got annoyed.

She used to eat with her master every day, just the two of them. Suddenly there was another person, and she wasn't quite used to it.

After Gu Heng sat down, he first instructed Qin Yiyao to bring up the food.

The three of them ate and chatted, but it was mostly Gu Heng who talked to Bai Feier. Qin Yiyao, on the other hand, was like a sullen person tonight, eating her rice without saying a word.

After exchanging only a few words, the conversation quickly shifted to Bai Feier.

He casually asked, "How have you been lately, Miss Fei'er?"

Bai Feier shook her head, her expression still serene: "It's alright. It's just that my relationship with my family has soured, so I'm leaving home to gain experience on my own."

"...Could you tell me what happened?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled.

How come this girl broke up with the Bai family so soon after returning home, which is less than a month or so ago?

Upon hearing Gu Heng's question, Bai Feier glanced at him for a couple of seconds, then lowered her gaze, pursed her red lips, and sighed, "Actually, it's nothing... it's just that I don't want to continue to endure the atmosphere in the family."

Bai Feier didn't say it explicitly, but Gu Heng understood what she meant.

Sigh, big families. Although he himself did not come from a big family, Gu Heng often heard some related information when he chatted with others.

For example, there are stories of wealthy young ladies who refused to accept an arranged marriage and ended up hanging themselves... I've heard a lot of these stories.

Seeing Bai Feier's displeased and resentful expression, Gu Heng felt that his guess was probably correct.

Bai Feier refused to marry into the Mo family and broke off the engagement.

Then, there must have been all sorts of noise from her family, which annoyed her so much that she simply left home and went to live her own life.

"...Well, that's how it always is with big families, isn't it?"

Gu Heng sighed softly, picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks, and slowly chewed it.

"Young Master Gu is truly clever; he guessed it right away."

Bai Feier smiled bitterly, a hint of resentment in her voice. She could tell that Gu Heng was genuinely lamenting his situation.

The Bai family really didn't want to stay any longer.

Bai Feier used to feel that so-called "expectation" from her clan chief father and the group of elders. She was confident in her talent and never thought that something was wrong.

Until the moment she lost all her cultivation.

After her hopes were dashed, she seemed to become a piece of rotten meat in the family, despised by everyone.

Even her own father was full of disappointment. He used to come and see how her cultivation was going, but when she needed support the most, he stopped coming.

This disparity dealt a heavy blow to Bai Feier.

But soon, after a few months, with Gu Heng's help, she regained her cultivation, and then she saw those faces filled with "hope" again...

Bai Feier found it disgusting. Therefore, in the month since she returned to the Bai family, she had fallen out with almost all the elders. Or rather, she never intended to give them a friendly look, especially since they were the ones insisting on "marrying" her off to the Mo family…

And now, those people are saying things like, "This is for the sake of the family, prioritizing the family's interests, and you should understand..."

understand?

She doesn't understand anything!
