Dance Of The Phoenix
17. To lose?

Chu Xin hurriedly went down the stairs, holding Gu Yueli and his servant who wanted to break through.

"Wait first. Fifth Miss, Fourth Miss is resting and cannot be disturbed. Please Fifth Miss doesn't make trouble." Chu Xin said firmly.

Gu Yueli glanced at Chu Xin sharply. He looked at the two maids behind him, then gestured to restrain Chu Xin. The two maids immediately stepped up to hold onto Chu Xin and away from Gu Yueli.

"Only a lowly servant, can it command me?" Gu Yueli clucked bitterly.

Chu Xin who was held snorted. He quickly twisted the arms of the two maids until the two maids were screaming in pain. Chu Xin ignored him, then blocked Gu Yueli's path.

"Fifth Miss, sorry for the irreverence. But Young Master Yuan had already warned that Fourth Miss did not receive any guests who had anything to do with Madam Ting."

"My brother's home, aren't you afraid of my brother? Sooner or later, he will kill you for insulting me!" Gu Yueli growled in annoyance. He looked towards the door of Gu Yuena's room, then shouted. "Gu Yuena, I respect you as big brother, is this how you treat me?"

"respectful? Fifth Miss, don't brag in broad daylight. Everyone knows, that the 'honor' attitude that Miss showed was only to seek thrills." Chu Xin was already annoyed.

"You ...." Gu Yueli was about to slap Chu Xin in the face, yet Chu Xin held her back in time. It made Gu Yueli very angry. "Rebellion! You dare to fight me!"

Chu Xin instantly took off her grasp when she remembered something. He also lowered. "Chu Xin doesn't dare."

"Since Gu Yuena can't teach her servant well, then I'll take her place. The waiter!" Gu Yueli called out to the two maids who were still in pain. He glanced at them sharply, making the two maids not complain.

"Right, Fifth Miss."

"Tell the servant not to know this rule, a servant must know his position as a servant." Gu Yueli spoke with great emphasis.

The two maids immediately brought along a wooden stick that was usually available in the corner of the pavilion. They also approached Chu Xin and slightly kept their distance vigilantly.

"Gu Yuena, if you don't come out, you'll see your servant's corpse at the door!" Gu Yueli threatened.

Chu Xin sighed silently. He was very patient, but this stupid woman even made him very upset until he could barely control himself. It's not his fault if he's being rude and hurting someone.

"Take him a lesson!" Gu Yueli ruled over her servant.

They quickly raised the wooden stick up high, then swung it towards Chu Xin's back with a smoldering spirit. They were very happy to think about how they would avenge their hand that was rotated until it was squeezed.

But before the staff touched Chu Xin's back, a stone floated right into the hands of the two maids, making the wood they were holding loose. They were shocked, while Gu Yueli growled in annoyance.

"My man, only I can touch him. If you want to become a law enforcement officer, it's better to go to the law division and file as a prison warden."

Their gazes were all shifted to someone in front of the room door. Gu Yuena with her nightclothes still attached accompanied by the panda eyes stood up straight. Not to forget also the veil he wore to cover the face of his pillow.

"You're interrupting my rest, aren't you afraid of karma?" Gu Yuena clucked bitterly. He just wants to sleep, why should there be this bully?

"Gu Yuena, don't pretend anymore, I know your rotten nature. If you don't beg me to forgive you, I'll make your day hell!"

"Oh? It's out of its true nature." Gu Yuena chuckled. "Then, I also don't need to cover up my rot. Gu Yueli, if I kill your mother, what will you do to me?"

Gu Yueli gritted her teeth furiously. "I'll kill you! Gu Yuena, I have never been afraid of trash like you!"

"Then, it's fitting. Your mother killed my mother, it looks like I have to kill her to appease my mother in heaven."

"Gu Yuena, she's also your mother! Your mother died being attacked by a monster because of you, no connection to my mother. Aren't you so outrageous about accusing her?"

"If I say this to my brother and father, they've been executing your mother since yesterday. Incidentally, I was a victim. How could I lie? Because basically, I was the only eye sanction of the day."

"You ...." Gu Yueli was at a loss for words. "Gu Yuena, you won't have a good ending!"

"I wish it was like that." Gu Yuena smiled mockingly, then looked at the servants coldly. "Fifth Miss is exhausted to the point of losing her mind, having to trouble you to bring her back to the residence for a rest."

The two servants fell silent. Gu Yuena's cold gaze made them shudder. They wanted to fight back, yet when they saw Chu Xin, they immediately retreated. The powerful killing aura frightened them and persuaded his nona to return.

"Miss, let's just go back and talk to the Duke."

"No! Gu Yuena, you can't do this to me. If my mother was expelled from the residence, what about my marriage?"

"Your marriage will go on, or run faster. I can vouch for it. Doesn't Ye Suanwu love you so much?" reply Gu Yuena.

Gu Yueli was once again silent. His mind was confused and filled with hatred. He was desperate to kill Gu Yuena, but Gu Yuan's presence stopped that thought if it was still dear to life. He will not give up just like that. He'll make that trashy life hell!

Both of his servants continued to persuade him to return. Gu Yueli jerked her sleeves and left from there.

Unfortunately, even though Gu Yueli had already decided to leave, Gu Yuena had no intention of letting go just like that.

He slightly moved his finger, making a blazing fire on the tip of Gu Yueli's clothes. He made a fire that could not be turned off unless it used a lot of water. It was just a small trick, and he used it as an experiment on Gu Yueli.

The blazing fire at the end of the dress managed to make Gu Yueli and her servant panicked to death. They trampled on Gu Yueli's long dress hoping for the fire to go out. However, the fire did not go out. Chu Xin who saw him laughed out loud.

As the fire grew bigger and continued to devour Gu Yueli's skirt, Gu Yueli instinctively went towards the nearby fish pond leaping just like a frog. The fire was extinguished, leaving smoke flying like boiling water on Gu Yueli's back.

"Miss!"

"Help me! Quick pull! Aaaah!"

The two maids tried to pull Gu Yueli who was surrounded by fish. Gu Yueli continued to scream in disdain, while her two servants panicked while pulling her. But because their strength was low, they were the ones who were drawn into the pond so that it befell Gu Yueli. The sound of splashing was heard until the pool water splashed to the surprise of many fish.

Chu Xin laughed even more loudly. Their ugly faces and Gu Yueli's spontaneous action were very entertaining on this sunny morning. While Gu Yuena only smiled cynically. Magic succeeded.

"I didn't know there was a good show here. I should have come earlier."

The voice came from the courtyard gate. It was Luo Youzhe. His appearance made Gu Yueli and his two servants very embarrassed and hurriedly climbed to the top of the pool.

"Young Master ...." Gu Yueli was acting pitifully in front of him. He lowered his head in anguish while hugging himself, hoping that the man in front of him would give him a robe to cover him.

Luo Youzhe stepped calmly. Gu Yueli was already very hopeful that the man would be kind enough to help her, especially when Luo Youzhe walked towards her.

But unfortunately, Luo Youzhe continued walking past him as if invisible, instead going towards Gu Yuena who was still in front of the room door. Gu Yueli froze at that very instant.

He turned to look at Luo Youzhe who greeted Gu Yuena blatantly. That made Gu Yuena very angry!

"Gu Yuena, just wait!" He stomped his feet in annoyance and left in a hurry followed by his servant.

Luo Youzhe's presence changed the atmosphere of the residence. Chu Xin bowed to give her greetings before finally rushing to give Gu Yuena a robe, whereas Gu Yuena only looked coldly.

"Why are you here?" ask Gu Yuena.

"I'll go today. Aren't you gonna miss me?" Luo Youzhe spoke in an irritating tone.

"I wish we never met."

"Just calm down, we'll see you again."

Luo Youzhe laughed at Gu Yuena's behavior. "I shouldn't have misheard, when at the Dark Market, someone said that I shouldn't go."

Gu Yuena was silent. When he remembered, he only vaguely remembered that there was such a conversation. Thinking about it gives him a headache.

"I was drunk at the time, don't listen. You go, I'll be so happy I want to fly." Gu Yuena smiled broadly behind her veil.

Luo Youzhe climbed the stairs to get close to Gu Yuena. He arrived right in front of Gu Yuena, then said, "Your face is disturbing. I can't see your face clearly."

Gu Yuena was suddenly empty for a moment. He blinked his eyes, then glared at Luo Youzhe sharply. It made Luo Youzhe laugh.

"Just kidding." Luo Youzhe shone a horse.

Gu Yuena exhaled heavily, then turned around to enter the room. "You're making me sick." He also had the door shut letting Luo Youzhe outside.

Chu Xin was still speechless looking at the two humans. He seemed to see something shocking and extraordinary, but he immediately changed his expression so as not to look suspicious. He bowed to Luo Youzhe.

"Young Master, it looks like Miss doesn't want to talk to anyone."

Luo Youzhe glanced at her a glance, then then slightly nodded to receive her greeting. He also turned around to leave.

His roar suddenly became flat when he saw the pond that Gu Yueli had just housed. Previously he had clearly seen Gu Yuena use fire magic to teach Gu Yueli a lesson, but somehow he felt that something was strange.

Or just his feelings?

He glanced at Chu Xin in front of the door, then looked at the door of the closed room where Gu Yuena was. I don't know what he was thinking, he left there.

Gu Yuena on the bed let out a long sigh as soon as she took off the pillow that covered her face. Not because of the stuffy, but because of the thought of his conversation with Luo Youzhe while drunk.

"I'm not leaving."

Simple sentences, but with a voice that continues to ring. It made him feel upset for no apparent reason.

He rolled to the other side hugging the blanket he rolled in his arms, still forcing himself not to think about it. But it didn't work.

He got up, got out of bed and decided to see the departure of the Luo Clan. He should have been glad they left, otherwise there was no need to go back and not have to deal with him especially for that man called Luo Youzhe.

After preparing with a simple appearance, Gu Yuena did not deliver directly at the gate of the residence like Gu Yuan, Gu Shan, the concubine and the other two children, did, but instead of standing looking from the top of the gate with the guards.

Seen from up there, Luo Youzhe rode on a dark horse with the Clan Chief, while his sister and cousin were in each of the horse carriages accompanied by several servants and bodyguards.

Gu Yuena's gaze was fixated on someone riding a dark horse at the very front. Even though he only had his back, he still knew who it was. Somehow, he suddenly regretted not responding well earlier and slightly hoped that the man would turn his head to see him one last time.

But Gu Yuena instantly came to her senses and shook her head quickly. "Stupid, I seem to be too sleepy." He turned and left.

Luo Youzhe slightly turned his head back, seeing Gu Yuan and the others start going back inside. He still did not see Gu Yuena. It seems that girl really hates him.

Luo Youzhe chuckled little considering the girl's behavior when she was drunk yesterday. He muttered, "We will meet again."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Witches were strictly forbidden in this world, that was why their training had long since been lost or destroyed. Due to the limited resources, Gu Yuena could not train another magic circle other than the one listed on the book. He did not know how to classify the magic circle, because the book only discussed about phoenix blood and how to apply it to the magic circle.

Gu Yuena had been searching for various books regarding witches, but the library of the residence was limited. He couldn't find much to know. Starting from phoenix blood and dragon blood, to the cultivation of magicians, Linghun Palace, and some secret things in the world that not many people know about. Most of what he knew was common.

"There's nothing I can learn." Gu Yuena sighed as she put back the book she just picked up off the shelf. He was leaning on the shelf while thinking what would happen in the future. "I can't keep hiding my strength. But if someone finds out that I'm a witch, it'll be very dangerous."

Witches have almost the same characteristics as mages. Just the different ways of using his strength and the nature of his strength, the rest made no difference. Therefore, it was better to announce himself as a mage if it was discovered that he could cultivate. After all, one would not be able to know the profession of others except to test it. Not bad.

Gu Yuena also looks for a book about mages to master it as a role she takes to disguise herself. Until he becomes strong enough, he must not reveal his identity as a witch. Others only knew him as a mage. Just like that.

"By the way, I haven't seen Xiao Hei ...." Gu Yuena suddenly missed the little cat. He also breathed. "That's it, just finish what needs to be done."

Gu Yuena left the library after finishing reading the public book regarding mages. He went to his residence, then completed an unsolved translation.

He had a plan to get Gu Yueli to leave as soon as possible from here. The girl ruined the view.

After finishing in a short time, he did not directly go to Gu Shan's room to hand over the file, but instead went to Gu Yueli's neighboring— pavilion.

Since Gu Yuena had just bullied Gu Yueli and made her plunge herself into the pool, plus ignored Luo Youzhe, Gu Yueli felt like a persecuted person all day. The girl cried like she was being bullied. His tears continued to flow like a waterfall without stopping.

Ye Suanwu who was not with his family came home two days ago comforted Gu Yueli who was sobbing in his arms. He did not know how Gu Yuena could be so cruel.

"Sister Suanwu, I never did anything wrong to him. Why is he so cruel? Mother did not pay much attention to him, but did she deserve to act like that? Mother was exiled in the cold pavilion, I could not bear to see her, huhu ...."

"Don't worry. Don't I just have to ask Duke Gu to release him? If this residence did not accept it, there would still be the Ye Clan. After we get married, your mother will come with us to the Ye Clan, how?"

"Sister Suanwu, why do you have to yield to that Gu Yuena? Do you still think that my mother really bullied him? This is Gu Yuena's scheming, my mother was framed! You can't just loosen it up. The mask he used completely covered his real face, I was even very surprised. Since that day, don't you feel that she's changed so much?"

"If she changes, will she let us get engaged?" Ye Suanwu denied.

"This must be the plan. Brother Suanwu, believe me, there must be a trap behind all this. He wanted to chase me and mom away at once and make everything look natural. Actually everything that happened was the mastermind! Brother Suanwu, you must give me justice!" Gu Yueli whined and cried even louder.

Ye Suanwu rubbed his head and hugged him once more so that Gu Yueli could calm down. "I will give you justice. I actually feel like he's different. You take it easy, everything will be revealed."

Gu Yuena was watching it as if she was looking at the drama coolly on the roof of Gu Yueli's room while eating a cauldron. He pulled the corner of his lips with a wicked grin.

"Didn't I promise not to interrupt your marriage? In that case, I will help speed it up as a form of apology has created a scheme that harms you." Gu Yuena took out a porcelain bottle in her hand. He laughed a little. "Who told your mother to keep the afrosidiacs? I'll make your dream come true, Fifth Brother."

He poured the contents of a porcelain bottle into the roof hole just above the two lovebirds. The fire in Gu Yuena's hands helped spread and made the powder scatter in the air. The powder would be inhaled by Gu Yueli and Ye Suanwu. No one can avoid it.

Gu Yuena poured the entire contents of the powder until it exceeded the limit it should have. The more medicine he poured, the stronger and longer lasting the effect would be. He does not need to worry if they are aware quickly before the unexpected happens.

Gu Yueli who was hugged by Ye Suanwu suddenly felt uncomfortable. He didn't know what was going on, he squirmed and straightened his back to see his lover.

"Sir Suanwu, why is the air so hot?" Gu Yueli looked around. Even though the window was open, why did it feel so hot like a fire?

"Yes, it's very hot." Ye Suanwu's mind became muddled because of this atmosphere.

He saw Gu Yueli who was sweating so much clinging onto him. He also felt a sense of intense heat radiating down his nerves until he involuntarily pushed Gu Yueli onto the bed.

"Li'er, I can't stand it anymore." He knew there was a problem here, but could not think clearly. He just felt really excited to do something with Gu Yueli.

"Suanwu's sister ...." Gu Yueli was equally as bad. He felt his breathing faster. The feeling of heat in his body made him naturally take off strands of clothes.

Until finally, something happened. Gu Yuena up there was just looking with a henchman as if she was common. After making sure the two of them were doing well and excited, he closed the roof hole and left the pavilion.

"Dad, you'd be very surprised by this surprise." Gu Yuena smiled as she left Gu Yueli Pavilion.
