Chapter 794: From Arrogance To Deference
Gu Yu frowned slightly. As the wife of the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect, she was not a shallow person. The reason she had come on so strong and spoken harshly from the start was merely to cut through the mess swiftly and make Bai Juan retreat on her own.
As long as she could achieve her goal, she didn’t mind wearing whatever mask was necessary to play a certain role.
“And who are you?” Gu Yu asked haughtily.
Li Xiaofei, however, turned toward Bai Juan.
“The little girl from back then... you’ve grown so much in the blink of an eye.” He sighed deeply and said, “When you were little, I even held you in my arms.”
Bai Juan was a little stunned. She searched her memories, but found that she didn’t recognize this man at all. But for some reason, his gaze felt strangely familiar.
Li Xiaofei smiled faintly, and the muscles and bones in his body shifted rapidly. He revealed his original appearance. That once elegant and heroic figure of the Great Xia Martial Soul, the charming figure of handsome, strong, sword-like brows and starry eyes, finally returned to the world.
Bai Juan could hardly believe her eyes. She rubbed them hard and blurted out, “Uncle... Uncle Li?”
“It’s me.” Li Xiaofei nodded and teased with a grin, “The little girl has grown up. Your uncle came to see you, and I even had to wait down below.”
“So it was you earlier...” Bai Juan suddenly realized as she let out an excited scream. Without caring for appearances, she rushed forward and threw herself into Li Xiaofei’s arms.
Li Xiaofei gently patted the top of her head like an elder and said, “Alright, alright. You’re a grown girl now. Be a bit more ladylike. Where are your parents?”
“Come, come, come! I’ll take you to them right now!” Unable to contain her excitement, Bai Juan bounced to the side, grabbed Li Xiaofei’s arm, and stuck out her tongue playfully. “If they knew you were back, they’d go crazy worse than me, for sure!”
