Chapter 209 Why Should I Protect You?

Hearing this, Zhu Fei took a deep breath and greeted Gu Youlan with a bowing gesture. "Miss You Lan, thank you for what happened just now."

Then, Zhu Fei turned his head toward Hua Tian and greeted him with a similar gesture.

Seeing this, Hua Tian didn't say anything. Instead, he just smiled and nodded slightly to Zhu Fei as a greeting.

"Hehe, it's just a small matter—don't worry about it."

Gu Youlan didn't dwell on what had just happened. Instead, she changed the subject, "Zhu Fei, I heard that the pills at our Treasure Pavilion's auction were all provided by you, is that right?"

Hearing Gu Youlan's words, something suddenly clicked in Zhu Fei's mind.

Indeed, he had no familial or legal ties with Gu Youlan. Without some reason, why would she have intervened to help him out just now?

For the harmony of the Ancient Martial World? To prevent him and Pei Xiaotian from fighting? Ridiculous.

He wouldn't believe such trite and contrived explanations himself.
