Dance Of The Phoenix
146. Reunions

Yun Qiao, Su Churan, Mu Xinhuan, Shen Jialin, and Ru Meng were all clenched by the attacks of pointed and transparent objects that suddenly flashed by. It was so hard that it could not move. They froze together, as the pointy objects flashed to the point of almost slashing their skin.

Just a little move, they'll die cut off.

At that moment, the smell of blood burst out. Aware of no more attacks of pointy objects, they turned their heads back to look at the several evil spirits and huge monsters that died together. Blood was everywhere.

It could be that many monsters died in a single attack. In addition, there are stray evil spirits as well. That evil spirit had turned into ashes and fused with the ground.

"It seems I know who can do this," Su Churan muttered. His figure turned into a small butterfly and darted swiftly through the forest, then found Bai Youzhe with her innocent look staring at them.

Yun Qiao who saw that fell silent. His guess is not wrong. That person who had just scared them half to death thought that they would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

The other three were also speechless, but could do nothing but put on a tense face. They should not have to speculate. It is no longer speculation, but fact!

Even Gu Yuena would not be as brutal as killing monsters and evil spirits on the mountain in such a terrifying manner! Does that guy want all the monsters here to go extinct?

"Your Majesty." Su Churan instantly turned to her original form and knelt down. The others followed, whereas Yun Qiao only slightly lowered his head to greet him as a fellow ruler.

Shen Jialin thought, Bai Youzhe being here means Gu Yuena is also there. He can't wait to meet his annoying friend.

"Gu Yuena is being undisturbed, it would be better if you do your own business instead of looking for her." Bai Youzhe already knew that they were going to invade her Nana like ants.

But ... Their business is Gu Yuena. How'this?

Bai Youzhe paid them no more attention and went inside the palace. Not to forget anyway, taking back the cloud seal and throwing it at Yun Qiao just like that. Yun Qiao caught on helplessly.

When he saw the initial seal, his eyes became bright as they looked at the disappearing treasure. He looked at Bai Youzhe whose back went away. It seemed that ...the mysterious man who left the cloud seal as 'compensation' was Bai Youzhe.

Although he did not look directly at it, he saw Bai Youzhe leaving the palace so quickly with her black robe. He didn't recognize it right away until the cloud seal came back today.

The reason being, no one could use such an incredible treasure so easily. That mysterious man must be Bai Youzhe.

It also means that ... ice jade was stolen by him a few years ago. Never mind, the man had also compensated.

Mystery solved.

"What's wrong with you?" ask Su Churan. Why was Yun Qiao seen thinking hard after seeing the cloud seal?

Yun Qiao sighed, "It turns out, the one who gave the cloud seal to the palace that day was King Bai."

Su Churan snorted, "Don't be surprised. His Majesty has indeed stayed in your Yuansu academy with Xiao Yuena, instead of one dormitory. But you take it easy, he's not doing anything bad." Besides stealing ice jade.

Yun Qiao looked surprised. It made Su Churan laugh so much that she could not help but laugh. He then glanced at Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin who were also in deep thought.

"That ... is Your Majesty Bai Zhe?" Shen Jialin guessed.

"If it's true, why are their temperaments different?" Mu Xinhuan was getting confused.

"King Bai and Gu Yuena were once in the same dormitory? Whatchu mean?" Yun Qiao asked in a confused tone.

Instead of replying, Su Churan instead laughed out loud like she was about to hit someone nearby. It made the three humans stare flatly.

"...."

What's so funny?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Bai Youzhe arrived at the location where faintly blood-red rays of light shot out. Looking at Gu Yuena who was sitting with her eyes closed, she approached.

Gu Yuena's face looked pale like someone who was afflicted with a hard disease. The green radiance had already disappeared replaced the blood red, following Gu Yuena's energy characteristics completely. He looked very calm as if he was asleep.

However, Bai Youzhe was able to sense that Gu Yuena's qi energy was drained by so much and became weak for a moment. Not only absorbing the magic circle, but also getting rid of the power of the soul and evil spirits. It requires a lot of qi.

Bai Youzhe sat behind Gu Yuena, then channeled her qi to avoid fainting. After that, it was only then that Gu Yuena opened her eyes and felt free from the magic entanglement. He fell into Bai Youzhe's arms behind him.

"You have succeeded" whispered Bai Youzhe.

Gu Yuena smiled, then nodded slowly. He looked at his hands, then took out a green beam coming from the magic circle. He left the rest of the energy to remember his teacher.

His teacher will always be with him. The green light proved it. Gu Yuena was happy and at peace. He will carry the rest of the energy during the journey of revenge, to calm the soul of his teacher there.

"I .. will destroy them and live well." Gu Yuena convinced herself confidently. He will kill all those who hurt those closest to him.

Bai Youzhe tightened her embrace. "I'll accompany you."

Gu Yuena hugged the arm that wrapped around her body for a while, then turned to look at Bai Youzhe. "I have an appointment with Yun Qiao and the others. Have they come?"

Bai Youzhe slightly nodded. He stood up while clasping Gu Yuena's hand, helping her stand up.

They both came out of the dark hole. Before leaving, Bai Youzhe closed the huge hole, piling it with the ground from the mountain flat. Afterwards, he followed Gu Yuena who went out.

Su Churan was already not seen laughing as brutally as before. When he saw Gu Yuena's presence, he immediately ran towards the woman and hugged.

Ah, he misses this annoying Xiao Yuena so much!

Especially Shen Jialin. The woman came running to hug him with a distinctive spirit cry. Gu Yuena was speechless.

Yun Qiao, Mu Xinhuan, and Ru Meng walked over. Actually, Ru Meng was eager to hug her elder brother like she used to, but the presence of Bai Youzhe behind scared her to death. You can only look while hugging yourself.

"Silver brother, I miss you so much~" Ru Meng looked like she would cry at any moment. He had always been spoiled for Gu Yuena, but now could not do so because of a certain king.

Mu Xinhuan laughed out loud while pitying Ru Meng, whereas Yun Qiao immediately pulled the two envious women over. It could be seen, Bai Youzhe did not like Gu Yuena being hugged by others even by fellow women.

The two women snorted in annoyance. Su Churan elbowed Yun Qiao's stomach while grieving. Shen Jialin only closed her mouth wanting to laugh.

Gu Yuena's slightly changed appearance was quite shocking to them. However, no one dared to ask. Su Churan already knew that it was due to phoenix blood, just like when Bai Youzhe had reovolved. He could not reveal it blatantly.

"Xiao Yuena, how are you?" Yun Qiao asked as a pleasantry.

"As you can see, I'm fine." Although his face looked pale white like a corpse. Well, it'll disappear slowly.

"The evil spirit seems to have been resolved well. At first I thought about getting rid of it together, but it wasn't necessary." Yun Qiao looked at the surroundings that were no longer covered in black fog. This place looks more like a historical relic.

"For the rest, I leave it to you. The rebuilding of Yuansu Palace was not easy. You should've brought what to bring, right?"

"You take it easy, they'll come after hearing that the evil spirit has been conquered." Su Churan said cheerfully.

"Thanks to the help of Tianshuang Palace and Su Churan, things are going well." Yun Qiao glanced at Su Churan with a smile, but the glimpsed one only stuck to Gu Yuena like there was adhesive. He shook his head before saying, "The disciples have also been gathered in the Capital. Some of those who returned home also brought help from their respective backgrounds. The Lin Clan was also ...."

"If it wasn't for King Bai, things wouldn't have been easy. Yun Qiao thanked King Bai." Yun Qiao looked towards Bai Youzhe politely.

Bai Youzhe looked indifferently. "It was just a coincidence." The Lin Clan offended him, still fortunately not being annihilated and only slightly threatening. The threat effect was pretty good.

(Still remember the chapter when Gu Yuena decided to return to Yuansu Academy after from Wyvernia? If you forget, you can read it in Chapter 70. Back then Bai Youzhe attacked many clans including the Lin Clan in front of the gates of Rainfield City.)

"After all, the conflict with the Lin Clan only happened to me. They are Yuansu Palace people, already supposed to help in times of trouble," Gu Yuena said, then looked towards Shen Jialin. "Aren't Lin Xi and Lin Milk no longer bothering?"

Shen Jialin twisted the eyeball. "Well, they were traumatized like cowards and were silent at all times. It's been nice to have a sense of shame after bothering you for years."

Gu Yuena laughed. They should have shame in their hearts so they can't act stupid anymore. However, Gu Yuena did not want to think about it any further.

"There are some things that happen as long as you're not around." Su Churan suddenly said so, making Gu Yuena curious.

"really. Brother-in-law, you will definitely be very surprised!" continued Ru Meng.

Gu Yuena pulled her eyebrows. "Oh yeah?"

Su Churan nodded. He pulled Gu Yuena away, then saw Shen Jialin and Mu Xinhuan together as if suspecting something. In the next instant, the woman referred the two alternately and said out loud, "They .. they married secretly!"

"...."

Shen Jialin glared at Su Churan who spoke in a high tone. He hurriedly approached Su Churan and twisted the meat on her waist until Su Churan stirred in pain.

"What's my fault?" Su Churan protest.

Shen Jialin replied impassively, "At least don't be like that!"

Gu Yuena looked at Shen Jialin and Mu Xinhuan alternately. He wasn't surprised, just didn't expect it to be so fast. Besides, this was very sudden and he knew nothing.

There's so much he missed.

While at the academy, Mu Xinhuan liked Shen Jialin. However, Shen Jialin instead liked 'Gu Yue' and suffered a broken heart. As a result, Mu Xinhuan did not have the courage to express her feelings and only accompanied her in grief. Maybe fear of rejection.

It was unexpected because they got married all of a sudden. Were they a couple secretly in the palace?

To be sure, Gu Yuena was annoyed not being told early. "Jialin, Xinhuan, you must treat me!"

Mu Xinhuan smiled wryly. "Okay, I'll."

"Hey, you haven't given us any treaties either. You must treat us all!" Ru Meng spoke in a cynical tone.

Su Churan sneered, "Before, we were also very surprised. A few months ago they returned to their hometown for some time. When they returned, they were married. I'm guessing they went to their hometown to get married secretly."

"I told you it wasn't like that." Shen Jialin was almost at a loss for words. So it was just like Su Churan's thoughts all along. He should have explained it from the beginning, even if he had not been questioned.

Shen Jialin told me that when she returned to her hometown, her father and mother urged her to marry because she was called 'old'. Women can usually get married by the age of 15.

However, Shen Jialin was in Yuansu Palace for a long time until she broke through to 20 years old which was considered to be already 'old'. He was almost married to a rich old man.

But fortunately, Mu Xinhuan could become a shield. Coincidentally Mu Xinhuan's mother also urged her to get married, the two of them also spent time together. Since the man Shen Jialin knew was not many, and only Mu Xinhuan was the closest, she chose to marry him.

Such a strange story managed to make Su Churan drop her jaw.

This was much worse than the insensitive Xiao Yuena!

"So ... got married because I had to?" Su Churan just found out about this. What the fuck is wrong with this world?

Gu Yuena just smiled slightly. Mu Xinhuan must have deliberately kept Shen Jialin from being taken away by another man when the woman had never noticed it. Shen Jialin only thought about what happened today, not the past nor the future. He doesn't care about anything other than having fun.

He thought, this idea of marriage should also come from Mu Xinhuan. He wondered how the man had revealed it.

"So you never ...." Su Churan hung up her words.

Gu Yuena looked at him with a complicated smile. It seemed that he knew Su Churan's intent as Shen Jialin looked at him in confusion. "What do you expect of a child?"

Su Churan was silent. After all, the three of them were still in the same generation. Could Shen Jialin be more stupid than Gu Yuena who only knew how to make trouble?

"What indeed?" Shen Jialin asked.

Su Churan laughed blankly, feeling extremely sour. How does he explain it? "That ... ask the same of your clan." Mu Xinhuan couldn't be stupid, right? He is a man.

Shen Jialin turned her head towards Mu Xinhuan with a questioning look. Mu Xinhuan slightly smiled, then said, "Later on."

Shen Jialin nodded her head, then looked towards Gu Yuena back. "Are you going back to Tianshuang Palace?

Gu Yuena nodded. "soon."

Su Churan suddenly smiled mysteriously. He glanced at Bai Youzhe at a glance, then hugged Gu Yuena's arm intimately. "In that case, I'll help you a lot."

Gu Yuena looked at him with a deaf frown. There's something suspicious. His head fell on Bai Youzhe, while the man just remained silent without saying anything.

From Bai Youzhe's face, there was nothing suspicious. The man remained flat and boring. However, Su Churan was acting abnormal and overly enthusiastic. Shen Jialin was the same.

It's not just because of Shen Jialin and Mu Xinhuan's wedding news, is it?

"Miss, be careful of that butterfly." Xiao Hei also seemed to feel the same way about being inside the spiritual space.

"Hm." Gu Yuena responded.

Yun Qiao cleared his throat as he felt a strange atmosphere. "The Palace Chief has sent people to clean the palace before. They buried the bodies of the palace people in the prayer hall. Master and Elder Yan are also there."

Gu Yuena's attention turned to Yun Qiao. "Reservation hall?"

Yun Qiao nodded. He also pointed out the location to Gu Yuena. Not far from Yuansu Palace, there was an ancestral hall that protected the barrier from evil spirits. The elders gathered the corpses of the palace people carefully and buried them in the mountain while avoiding the evil spirits.

To open the barrier, Yun Qiao had the key. Instantly the barrier opened, revealing a fairly large hall building. It is a tomb and a prayer room.

When entering, they are presented by many headstones displayed on each side. There are places to pray and honor those who die on the battlefield. The King Board of Yuansu Palace became the main one installed, followed by the Elders. Elder Yan was placed in a special place beside the previous Palace King Yuansu.

Yan Shuiyin and the previous Yuansu Palace King had once loved each other. Unfortunately, they cannot be together because of identity. Now, both have the same tomb and are close together.

"Teacher ...." Gu Yuena touched the headstone inscribed with the name Yan Shuiyin with a complicated feeling. It had been quite a while since the tragedy, but he still felt that it had just happened.

It turned out that his days in Yuansu Palace were still very precious. Unexpectedly, the farewell when going to the inter-palace meeting becomes the real farewell.

"I won't let you down." Gu Yuena will make sure of that. Yan Shuiyin protected him, he would live well. But before that, he had to settle this grudge.
