Dance Of The Phoenix
21. Gifts For My Beloved Sister (2)

"He's here."

Right after Luo Yi said it, the dancers finished the dance and retreated. After their beautiful performance, a masked woman dressed in dark red clothes walked on stage.

Her clothes were not too luxurious, but it was enough to display her elegant and beautiful figure like a noble. The phoenix mask stuck to her pretty face so that it only gave her thin and pretty red lips. The visible eyes were also red eyes filled with confidence.

Guzheng's music. The figure moving subtly stole a lot of attention with his appearance. Her red skirt fluttered like wings as the girl performed an elaborate dance that could only be found in the Wyvernia Country. The luster of red magic gave a trace in each of his movements thus creating an incredible beauty.

The movement that was originally smooth and slow, now accelerates the tempo so that it looks more complicated. The music that is played is also getting faster, adding to the spirit power that appears on the stage.

The figure twisted and leaped beautifully. It looked like a dancing swan, as well as a fiery phoenix and showed its beauty. It managed to spur many people to get to know the peak figure of beauty.

"Aren't you very talented?" Luo Yi smiled broadly at him.

Gu Yuan blinked his eyes, then focused on the figure behind the mask well. When he saw those reddish eyes that resembled her, he looked surprised.

"He ...."

Luo Yi laughed. "I told you he was here."

"Sister-in-law, do you know him?" Gu Yesha suddenly appeared asking about it. His gaze was drawn to the dancer as if he would drool.

"We all know him." Luo Yi replied, but still grew the question in Gu Yesha's mind. While Gu Yuan was just silent in his place.

It seemed Gu Yuan had thought of something. It's beegumam, "Gawat ...."

On the other hand, Gu Yueli who had known who the dancer was clutching her skirt tightly. He glanced at Ye Suanwu who looked stunned. He got upset. Not only Ye Suanwu, even Gu Yihan to the clan head and the elders were also stunned. His father is the same!

He growled in silence. "Gu Yuena, how dare you ...." How dare that damn trash perform better and steal all the attention! He was the lead, why did Gu Yuena snatch it? He will not forgive!

The dance continues with beautiful music. The body of the figure was as if it was rubber that moved flexibly and could straighten both its legs in different directions. It features ballet combined with traditional Chinese dance perfectly.

He leaped into the air and held his feet with spiritual power for a while. In this way, his appearance made everyone more stunned. Even Clan Leader Ye was ready to bring the woman to be his concubine!

Gu Yueli did not want Gu Yuena to master the show using her performance until praised. He let out a flame on his finger, then read out the matra silently to make the flame give a stealth attack on Gu Yuena while all attention was distracted.

Gu Yuena saw it. He dodged the stealth attack with a beautiful dance and a perfect jump. Only, there was one thing that escaped his attention.

"Great!" He muttered to himself after feeling the qi in the body begin to thin so that it could not stand in the air.

Apparently what Gu Yueli used was not an attack spell, but a spell to shut down one's qi within 2 seconds. That was enough to make Gu Yuena fall!

Gu Yuena's body went out of control downwards. He had already prepared himself to fall in a better way so as not to look embarrassing and finish the dance. At least, he could defend his face first.

But it turned out that the plan changed just like that when a black figure suddenly appeared wrapped around Gu Yuena's waist which fell loose. Gu Yuena felt her body oscillate and spin very fast. But his mind was not affected by the shock, but rather on the eyes of the person behind the black mask in front of him.

the almost unrecognizable blue iris of the night, visible in the ocean. Somehow, Gu Yuena's mind suddenly directed at the same blue eyes under the moon some time ago. But Gu Yuena immediately let go of that thought and regained consciousness quickly.

The masked man did not seem to have any intention of humiliating Gu Yuena as a dancer. He followed the music in his own way, and supported Gu Yuena's ballet dance as a dance partner.

Gu Yuena was actually a bit surprised, but she did her job professionally without much question. He glanced at the guzheng player in the corner, gesturing for him to immediately finish the performance.

The guzheng player who was apparently Chu Xin nodded quickly. He looked stunned before, but he forced himself to be professional following Gu Yuena's direction. None of this is amazing.

Gu Yuena glanced at the man with a strange feeling. It was like knowing the man, but not remembering where he had met. Especially when they had to get close to each other, the man's cold breath made Gu Yuena's brain gobs up.

"Focus."

The cold voice of the man shocked Gu Yuena. It's cold as ice. If that was the case, Gu Yuena was even more unsure that they had met.

Chu Xin ended her music play perfectly, while Gu Yuena and the man ended the performance with a stunning final performance.

Gu Yuena still could not say anything as long as the man was still in front of her. Until finally the sound of a standing ovation rang out, only then did Gu Yuena awaken.

Gu Yuena showed a sweet smile looking at her clapping fans. When he looked at the man again to say thank you, the man had already disappeared somewhere. He was confused himself.

"Good .. Very good appearance!" Clan Leader Ye praised in a loud and excited voice. The dancer should be his before being taken by someone else!

Gu Yuena bowed in homage, then said, "The Clan Chief is too complimentary. I am the Fourth Princess of the Duchy of Gu, Gu Yuena, still have much to learn. This is my first appearance as the wedding gift of Fifth Sister and Young Master Ye, thank you for your concern."

They all fell silent as Gu Yuena introduced herself. As if lightning was striking in the sky, Ye Jin barely believed Gu Yuena's words. What he liked was the dancer who displayed a beautiful and stunning beauty, not Gu Yuena who humiliated her son with that little flame!

"Gu Yuena?" Ye Jin instantly lost hope of enjoying that beauty. He smiled wryly. If Gu Yuena was not the daughter of Duke Gu, she would not have cared and immediately picked her up as a concubine. But this ....

"It seems, Clan Leader Ye must hold back for this time." Luo Yi on the other end laughed a little at Ye Jin's reaction. The man was really embarrassing himself.

The faces of Gu Yihan and Gu Yesha also became ugly. If it wasn't their brother, Merska wouldn't be like this. If only they had known earlier.

Gu Shan was worse. He almost fainted thinking about how his daughter could dance in front of him without his knowledge. Plus ... who was the man who touched his daughter earlier! Although she did not pay much attention to Gu Yuena at first, but now Gu Yuena was the only princess in the Duke's Residence!

The atmosphere became awkward instantly. Gu Yuena was satisfied to see the expressions of everyone, especially Gu Yueli and Ye Suanwu. The couple looked as if they were going to tear her apart from there. Very pleasant ....

"Young Master Ye, Fifth Sister, congratulations on your happiness." Gu Yuena said with a 'sincere' as well as with a subtle tone that made everyone's hearts warm.

He bowed, then withdrew to approach his brother. Chu Xin also stood up and followed her nona with a burning spirit.

After Gu Yuena's stunning performance, the next show now felt very bland. Everyone so missed Gu Yuena's dance.

Gu Yuena without taking off her mask walked over to her brother with a distinctive grin. He took a dry snack, then ate it.

"How do I look? Isn't it very nice? Third Brother, you salivate and are very surprised." Gu Yuena sneered.

"I told you, I just wanted to give you a gift." Gu Yuena said lightly without letting out a smile. He then looked at Luo Yi. "Sister .. brother-in-law .. You're here." Suddenly he remembered someone.

"The Clan Chief asked me to come as a clan representative. By the way, your appearance is very good. What is a Wyvernia dance?"

Gu Yuena nodded slowly. His eyes looked for someone. It was so clearly visible to Luo Yi that the woman could not help but mock.

"Luo Youzhe's not coming with me, he's got business." Luo Youzhe said in a mocking tone.

Gu Yuena turned her face flat. "I didn't ask about it." Actually, he just wanted to make sure that the masked man was not Luo Youzhe.

"Who is that guy?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked. Both of his hands were folded across his chest with probing looks.

"Who?" Gu Yuena did not understand.

"Your dance partner." Gu Yuan said flatly without expression. It made Gu Yuena desperately want to ridicule him.

"Sister, are you jealous?" Gu Yuena smiled widely, then sighed. "Yesterday you mocked me for being jealous, I can finally see you jealous now."

"It's not like that. The Ye clan has many enemies. I'm just afraid someone hurt you by posing as a dance partner. Anyway, why dance? You don't see how many men want to approach you with bad thoughts?" Gu Yuan scolded.

Gu Yuena pouted. "Aren't they brave now? I just want to embarrass Ye Suanwu a little bit for dumping the wrong woman. That's all."

Gu Yuan snorted in annoyance. "There are so many ways to humiliate him. Now, people are starting to approach you to take advantage of you. You forgot why I asked you to wear a veil? Now you even take it off."

"Sister, I've been wearing a mask. After all, I don't live with my face covered. I should be grateful for my appearance and put it to good use." Gu Yuena felt that it was not something to watch out for.

He had many relationships in the previous world and dumped many men and killed them. The kiss with Luo Youzhe was also not her first kiss in two lives. No need to worry. He knows exactly how men think and won't bother with them.

"Here you go, don't argue anymore. We'd better go around to enjoy the wind. It's pretty stuffy in here." Luo Yi intended to mediate.

"Sister-in-law, are you familiar with the Ye Clan?" Gu Yesha who had been watching the debate had started to get active.

"I've been to this place twice, of course I'm familiar." Luo Yi replied casually, hoping that these two big brother sisters would be interested

He was going to take Gu Yuan who was having a snack, unfortunately Gu Yuan was getting worse and went the other way. Gu Yuena did not accept being treated like that. Being annoyed, he went to the opposite side with Chu Xin.

Luo Yi and Gu Yesha just put on a 'friendly' smile while being left behind by the two people. In the end, Luo Yi could only take Gu Yesha who was like a child.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Since the journey was quite far and the family banquet had not yet been carried out, the Duke's family was encouraged to stay overnight inside the clan for some time until the banquet ended. They got a pretty good place to rest, showing the intentions of the Ye Clan who was willing to support the Duke's Residence.

Gu Yuena leaned against the front seat of her room while looking at the sky. He was still thinking about the masked man and trying to find common ground with the people he met. Other than the man's identity question, the main question was, why did the man help him? Moreover, the man also looks good at combining movement with music and can do complicated ballet dance.

Whatever the answer was, the man had to be the man Gu Yuena had met.

The clouds in the sky slowly turned pitch-black and dark. The change made Gu Yuena's expression dim.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "I hate storms. I hate the rain ...."

"Miss, isn't the rain so soothing? I just thought, the rainy days are the most calming times in life."

Gu Yuena opened her eyes to look at Chu Xin. He smiled wryly. "I also want to think like that, but everyone's experience is different."

"Miss, is there something?" Chu Xin was curious.

Gu Yuena was silent for a while, like she was reminiscing about something. "When a storm occurs, that's when my real life begins."

And sure enough, the rain had arrived all day. The peak of the rain accompanied by lightning began when night fell and everyone was required to sleep for the banquet tomorrow morning.

Merely, Gu Yuena could not sleep at all. As soon as the thunder struck right above the residence, Gu Yuena shouted as she covered both ears and shut herself in a blanket.

Gu Yuena's shout was heard by Chu Xin. Chu Xin walked into the room, surprised to see Gu Yuena cornered with a blanket covering her body. He approached immediately with concern.

"Miss, is Miss okay? Did Miss have a nightmare?" Chu Xin was very worried. Especially when looking at Gu Yuena's pale face.

Gu Yuena looked at Chu Xin, then said, "I .. forgot to bring the earplugs."

"Earplugs?" It was obvious that Chu Xin did not understand. All this time Gu Yuena had never behaved like that, because a new storm had occurred tonight.

Gu Yuan appeared in a hurry to enter Gu Yuena's room. He also looked worried, then walked over to Gu Yuena who was wrapped in a blanket and sat down next to him.

Chu Xin immediately stepped aside, while Gu Yuan took out an object from the spiritual room and placed it into Gu Yuena's ear hole. She hugged her little sister with affection.

"Don't be afraid, no one's hurting you."

Gu Yuena hugged her brother's arm tightly. "Sorry to wake you up."

Gu Yuan rubbed Gu Yuena's head gently. "What's wrong, I haven't slept. I know ... You're gonna be scared." It became unthinkable how Gu Yuena had gone through a stormy night before.

"Thank you." Gu Yuena closed her eyes as she calmed down. As long as her brother was absent, neither in his previous life nor the owner of this original body, it seemed to have the same experience and fear of thunder storms at night.

The shadow of death continued to haunt him whenever thunder boomed. It made Gu Yuena scared to the point of not being willing to let go of her brother.

In the end, Gu Yuan had to sleep there without being able to change position. It's okay, as long as his sister's okay.

Chu Xin who saw him could not say anything. He thought Gu Yuena experienced a deep traumatic event to the point of experiencing such fear. He felt sorry for the girl.
