Dance Of The Phoenix
143. Qin Chuan's

There were many things to take care of as long as it helped Yuansu Palace return to its original position. Su Churan as the external administrator of the palace became the busiest.

Tonight he and some of the people of Yuansu Palace just arrived at the Imperial Capital of Yi. Since Su Churan had to handle the delivery of goods, she had to go out of the inn. With the horse he was riding, he walked quietly and boringly.

Like not his style. Indeed, his mood was not good.

He saw a wagon of Wyvernia passing through one of the noble residences. He recognized the family logo of the chariot, which made him subconsciously follow.

"Why is he here?" Su Churan looked at the Wyvernia people who entered the residence and were greeted with respect. The position of certain entrants is clearly not low.

Su Churan knew one of them. He bit his lips in agitation, then retreated from the direction of the residence. It was better not to meet that person again, or he would really not be able to rearrange his already composed feelings.

The man slicing hazel from inside the residence accidentally found a female figure riding white outside the gate. He looked at her as if remembering something, then chased after her in a hurry.

"Qin Chuan!" call him.

Su Churan stopped. He looked back, seeing a handsome man who looked not much older than him standing quite far away. The man looked at her with a complicated look.

Su Churan lowered her head, then was about to leave. However, the man very quickly had already reached nearby and held his hand which would spur the horse.

"Wait a minute!" The man stopped Su Churan.

Su Churan looked disturbed. He steadied his heart and looked at her with a bright smile as usual.

"I'm surprised you're here, Alves." It feels so awkward. Su Churan could only slightly greet him and give the best smile to show that he was fine.

"How are you?" Alves asked.

Su Churan shook her head. "There's so much work, I barely have any free time."

"We have the same situation." Alves smiled. "Qin Chuan—"

"I'm Su Churan." Su Churan confirmed his words. He used to introduce himself as Qin Cuan, before the man knew that he was Su Churan from the destroyed Su Clan.

"For me, you're still the Qin Cuan I know."

"Qin Chuan is a free woman who has no fear. While Su Churan is a woman full of responsibility and can not leave her. Alves, you need to be able to tell the difference. Now I'm Su Churan."

Alves sighed. "Regarding that day, I'm sorry." He thought Su Churan was still angry because he ignored Su Churan's busyness.

In the past, he kept thinking that Su Churan was selfish and completely uninterested in their relationship, even continuing to disappear without news. Until he finally found out that the Qin Chuan he knew was the daughter of the Su Clan who had an important position in Tianshuang Palace.

Su Churan once told Gu Yuena that she had a failed relationship with someone before her marriage. That person was Alves, Count Erizra of Wyvernia.

"You're not wrong. I'm being selfish." Su Churan smiled wryly. He regretted that day and had spoken about it before, but could not change it.

Alves loved her very much and spoiled her, but Su Churan could not keep up with that because of the ambition in her heart. Su Churan who looked cheerful and unreasonable at all times, actually had pent-up ambitions. He is also a man who has hatred.

The death of his family was the heaviest blow, he could not forget it. That is why, the ambition for revenge arises beyond the feeling of love towards someone. Because of his hatred, he was willing to lose a lot of blood at any time just to cultivate a blood butterfly. That was Su Churan.

Alves was a nobleman who would continue to struggle in the matters of imperial politics. While Su Churan had the position of an elder that he was defending. If married to Alves, he was forced to renounce the title of elder and join the politics of Wyvernia.

It was very clear that Su Churan was not willing. He can be greedy, but he knows that he doesn't have that ability. He was not Gu Yuena, nor was Bai Youzhe. Su Churan was still a human who had many weaknesses in his heart.

"Qin Chuan, I've been thinking all along. Whatever happens, I will support you and not be your hindrance. Let's start over." Alves extended his hand to Su Churan.

Su Churan was stunned. The same helping hand he received in the past. They were once engaged even though the Count's family disagreed. However, Su Churan had to leave for a long time to the Underworld, which made her marriage void.

Naturally if he disappeared for a very long time without news as if swallowed by the earth, the marriage was annulled. That was the right reason for the Count family to get rid of Su Churan.

Su Churan could not live in such a neighborhood. He loves himself. Although he regretted it, he would not turn his head back a second time.

Su Churan smiled. He got off the horse and stood before Alves. His heart was depressed, but his face looked very calm.

"If I wasn't a person with a big role, I would probably accept it. I'm sorry." He was sad, but could not express it. He could only cover it with a smile.

"Do you mind because of my family? I will continue to support you, we will stay apart from them." Alves did not willing Su Churan to leave him.

He wanted to be with Su Churan. To him, Su Churan was an extraordinary woman. She is strong and thoughtful combined with her charming unique nature, unlike most women.

There was a time when Su Churan felt persuaded. He still has a pretty deep feeling for Alves. His heart grew worried when he saw Alves pleading with him.

"I ...." Su Churan wanted to refuse once more. However, the arrival of someone made his attention distracted.

The figure of a beautiful woman in a blue dress with beautiful floral shades. He had gray hair that was pigtailed with gold flower ornaments. Very suitable to be worn by him.

"Master Count, are you meeting an old friend?" The woman looked towards Su Churan with a curious look. When he realized something, he hurriedly introduced himself politely. "I am Countess Erizra, nice to meet you."

Su Churan was speechless when she heard the title that the woman mentioned. Countess Erizra .... Alves' full name is Alves Erizra, he is Count Erizra. If the woman in front of him is the Countess, doesn't that mean she's Alves' wife?

Su Churan suddenly wanted to laugh.

Somehow, there was pain to the point of not being able to say anything. He felt awkward, and at the same time betrayed. Well, it's not Alves' fault entirely. He also rejected the man many times. It's his own fault.

Su Churan Manga could show a polite smile and greet the noble style. "It's nice to meet you, Countess Erizra. I am Qin Chuan, an old friend."

Countess Erizra thought the woman in front of him was a noble, that's why he introduced himself first. Su Churan's clothes were classy despite being wrapped in white robes. His appearance was very elegant, not looking like an ordinary folk.

Alves seemed to be troubled by the arrival of the Countess. He looked at Su Churan with a guilty feeling. This is tantamount to proving that his words were just a joke. How should he explain?

However, the fact that Alves had married another woman could not be covered up. Su Churan would definitely not accept it.

Su Churan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He almost accepted the position of second wife. Next time, he should be careful. This feeling is so annoying.

"Since Mr. Count had already said what he wanted to say, there seemed to be nothing more to say. Qin Chuan still has business, must leave you here."

"So fast?" The countess seemed to know nothing and looked puzzled. He felt that Su Churan was very attractive and wanted to get to know him for longer, but it seemed like the other party was very busy.

Su Churan slightly greeted, then left with her horse.

It hurts so much.

It doesn't matter what happens in the back. When it was far enough away, it turned out that Alves was after him. Luckily Su Churan was not riding a horse, just walking while leading a horse.

Alves directly held Su Churan's arm to get closer to her. But Su Churan was obviously much stronger, so the man felt as if he was pulling a hard stone.

"Qin Chuan, listen to my explanation." Alves spoke in a hurry.

"good. I'll listen." Su Churan chose not to turn to look at it. He remained in the same position while feeling a broken heart.

"Eliah and I did not love each other. We married politically because her family needed my family's help. Qin Chuan, I only love you. I can divorce her if you want."

Su Churan was drowning in his feelings. He became annoyed after hearing that remark, then turned to look at Alves with a serious look.

"At the end of the day, it still doesn't close the fact that you're married. How can I marry a married man?" Su Churan refused. It was Su Churan, the daughter of the Su Clan and the Elder of the Tianshuang Palace. Why be a second wife and destroy a relationship? It was a disgrace to him.

After all, Su Churan did not have any intention of returning. So just use this excuse not to come back forever.

"Qin Chuan—"

Su Churan's speech that was so calm but piercing made Alves speechless. Yes, he was wrong. But he couldn't just cover up his feelings. He had long since looked for Su Churan. He never touched any woman, including his own wife.

In the end, it would only impress him like an irresponsible man. That was what upset Su Churan.

"If I were in Elijah's position, I would be very sad and miserable. Don't do that." Su Churan spoke half pleading. He just wanted to escape this annoying feeling. It cannot be bound continuously. It was not Gu Yuena who was strong to bear such a huge burden for a lifetime.

Alves understood why Su Churan said so. Su Churan had always been a person who understood the feelings of others. He is very sensitive and empathetic. That's why it's so amazing.

But did he really have to lose his love?

"A marriage does not have to talk about love, but responsibility and mutual trust. Our relationship obviously doesn't include both." Su Churan had learned about relationships. He even advised Gu Yuena not to get lost like she had. That would be very painful.

Su Churan sighed. He let go of that heavy feeling, then looked at Alves with a serious look. "We don't have to break the real relationship. You carry out your responsibilities, and I will carry out my own. If there's a need, we can help each other as partners." Su Churan smiled. Although they could not unite, at least they could help each other.

By the way, Su Churan also needed an acquaintance from Wyvernia to deal with the problems of the Wyvernia empire in the future. Talk about it later.

Alves seems to mind. He wanted Su Churan, but Su Churan looked already steady. His hand was still tightly grasping Su Churan's arm without taking it off. He wanted to bring Su Churan into his arms.

"Churans!"

The call distracted Su Churan. He looked back, finding Yun Qiao in his white robe showing greatness. He is a king now.

Lately they've been pretty close, as partners. Su Churan helped him deal with the matters of Yuansu Palace until the agreement ended. Su Churan was clearly more experienced in taking care of the palace.

"I've been looking for you everywhere. They've arrived at the inn a long time ago, but you're not around. You know how complicated their thinking is to think that those people are after you." Yun Qiao spoke in a serious and stiff tone like a man who had no emotions at all.

Su Churan felt that she had been pierced by a needle. It became very awkward. He forgot his duty because of the momentary feeling, what a real folly!

He also rubbed his temple. "I'll be here soon."

Yun Qiao looked towards the hand of Alves holding Su Churan's arm. His gaze looks cold.

The conscious Su Churan directly pulled her hand away and pretended to be busy on the horse harness, feeling awkward. "Ah, this is correct. Is it time for us to leave?'

Yun Qiao slightly smiled. "Yes." Yeah."

"Qin Chuan, are you leaving again?" Alves wanted to stop, but Yun Qiao was blocking his way.

"He has more important business." Yun Qiao's extremely powerful aura made Alves unable to twitch. The man took two steps back, then looking at Su Churan who had already climbed onto the horse was so easy.

"Count Erizra, nice to meet you. In the future, I'll talk about good business for you." Su Churan waved her hand normally. He did not show such a sad expression at all, as if he was a different person.

Ignoring Alves' presence, Yun Qiao went up on the horse and spurred him on. Su Churan was surprised because Yun Qiao seemed to be in a hurry, making him have to compensate.

"Hey, if the road says something!" he shouted while racing the horse quickly. It was like they were racing horses.

Alves, "...."

As he remembered, Su Churan was a gentle woman with unique traits. Since when did it become so active and yell that loud?

Alves smiled wryly. It seemed like Su Churan's heart had really never been directed at him.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Gu Yuena came to her senses shortly after meeting Bai Youzhe. When he woke up, he was already in the man's arms. His warmth covered the cold of the night without a fireplace.

Bai Youzhe could not make a fireplace because of the different forest situation. If he made a fireplace, the array connected to Linghun Palace would detect them. The situation would be dangerous for Gu Yuena.

He uses his body to warm up. Sometimes Bai Youzhe's body temperature was so cold that she was cold. But when the hellfire appeared, it became warm.

Gu Yuena positioned herself properly beside Bai Youzhe. They are still in the same place. Under the big tree near the river while hiding from the attention of the witches out there.

"There's a witch a few feet from here." Bai Youzhe told me.

Gu Yuena looked at him for a moment, then looked down. His head hurt a lot, his eyes too. He was unable to see Bai Youzhe as clearly as before. Feels blurry. He could not even look into the distance.

Bai Youzhe had checked if there were any internal injuries Gu Yuena had sustained. Other than losing a lot of qi, the wounds on his head were quite disturbing. Did Gu Yuena have a hard impact while at the Palace?

"Sin'ana?" Bai Youzhe frowned when she saw that Gu Yuena was just silent while holding her forehead.

Gu Yuena was flabbergasted, then looked up. He shook slowly. "I'm fine."

"I'm gonna get you out of here and distract them." Bai Youzhe was already preparing. They obviously shouldn't be here because it's too dangerous.

"Wait a minute." Gu Yuena held her arm. "No need to be diverted." He thought Li Hua had no intention of capturing or killing him for now. The witch only served outside.

In any case, Gu Yuena was already unable to escape from Li Hua no matter what. Both life and death, his soul would be held as long as it was not destroyed.

Bai Youzhe obeyed Gu Yuena's words, then went back to her. Gu Yuena's face was very pale, she wasn't okay. Bai Youzhe was worried.

"Then, we're straight out of here."

Gu Yuena nodded. Bai Youzhe directly carried Gu Yuena into her arms, then flew into the air carrying Gu Yuena who could not use qi for a while.

Actually Gu Yuena could still, but her strength was too weak due to the forcefully plucked magic circle. He needs further recovery.

Looking at Bai Youzhe's face that looked very serious. Bai Youzhe traveled to this place without teleporting, it took quite a long time. There was nothing that made Gu Yuena doubt him. Only, he doubted himself.

The magic circle in his eyes was removed, he would be blind and deformed slowly. Is he still worthy?

Gu Yuena had closed her mouth since earlier. Usually he was quite chatty, this time his actions made Bai Youzhe somewhat confused. If it is like this, there is usually always something that disturbs the woman's mind.

Bai Youzhe seemed to have guessed what Gu Yuena's grief was. The phenomenon of the red moon was a sign of Gu Ying's awakening. However, the sacrifice of 1000 bloods always had a disability, making Gu Ying's life unable to last long after being resurrected.

Let alone a year, Gu Ying could not even last for a month.

They arrived at the Capital City for a temporary stopover. Gu Yuena needed treatment, which made her unable to travel any further.

With a stopover at the Capital City, Gu Yuena would get treatment from a doctor and be able to continue the journey to the Palace smoothly. His mood will be corrected.

Bai Youzhe thought how to make Gu Yuena not sad anymore. "Nana, I heard there's an annual auction here. Do we have to come to buy stuff? They say that the goods sold are very rare."

Gu Yuena's mood was still not good. He did like to see treasures, but the situation was completely inconsolable just to see those items. Let alone treasures, he did not even have a good appetite despite having fried chicken in front of him.

"I think .. better not waste more time." Gu Yuena spoke in a low tone without stopping her footsteps.

Bai Youzhe held onto Gu Yuena's arm which continued walking straight until it was almost hit by a horse. Gu Yuena was surprised, but did not have much of a reaction and only looked at Bai Youzhe who was grasping her tightly.

"Say whatever you want to say to get your feelings better." Bai Youzhe did not want Gu Yuena to continue slumping like she did not have the spirit of life.

Gu Yuena looked doubtful for a moment. He really did not want to trouble Bai Youzhe anymore. But ... he still can't hold it himself. Especially when he saw Bai Youzhe's anxious gaze.

In the end, Gu Yuena told him everything she had experienced in the Palace. There was no expression on his face when telling all the unexpected things hidden within Linghun Palace. Even when saying about his father's death, he had absolutely no other expression.

Gu Yuena had destroyed Gu Ying's life expectancy. Now, Yang Xinyuan was going to collect blood through the demon bones. Li Hua started everything from scratch without Gu Yuena.

One thing Gu Yuena had yet to say was about the magic circle being forcefully plucked out of her eyes.
