Dance Of The Phoenix
26. Roommate

"You ...." Gu Yuena was barely moved when she saw the figure in front of her. He immediately closed his mouth, then lowered his head so as not to be discovered.

"Your Majesty." Gu Yuena bowed like a boy to greet the man in front of her.

The problem was, the man in front of him the Crown Prince of Yi Empire, Huang Jingtian, as well as his brother's friend who quite often visited the residence. He was afraid, his face would be known.

Although he was likely 40% recognizable because he always wore a veil and was rarely seen, he still could not miss Huang Jingtian's vision. Even when at the residence, the man immediately recognized him just like that— did not remember clearly anyway.

Huang Jingtian, a tall man and included in the line of the most handsome men in the empire. Besides being handsome, he is known for his strength and contribution to the country. Many women wanted to marry him, but the man was so focused on studies that it was unthinkable to have any woman.

Moreover, he was also one of the reasons Gu Shan paid close attention to Gu Yuan. Since Gu Yuan was good friends with the Crown Prince, everyone would definitely seek Gu Yuan's attention which he said would benefit greatly once the Crown Prince ascended the throne. It's a political affair.

"You're a new student?" Huang Jingtian smiled. "No need to be polite, we're all students."

"Yes." Yeah." Gu Yuena slightly returned her smile.

Gu Yuena grumbled inwardly at her brother who did not tell her that Huang Jingtian attended school here. Knowing so, it was better that he went to Yinyang Academy.

But if it was in Yinyang Academy, wouldn't you meet that damned human who became a senior? He could be bullied every day for seniority reasons, it was better not to go in there.

Huang Jingtian really looked like an ordinary disciple. He walked around alone under the dark clouds in gold colored disciple clothes signifying that he was a disciple of the Qingyuan Division.

Each uniform color represents its own division. Gu Yuena who is in Huoyuan Division will get a red uniform, and so on based on elemental colors. For the inner courtyard disciples, there were special clothes that each group of disciples provided inside there, just like the one Huang Jingtian was currently using. His golden-coloured uniform was different from the outer courtyard disciple uniform.

"Your Majesty can walk alone, I won't interfere." Gu Yuena said kindly. After all, Huang Jingtian was her brother's friend. He should not smear his brother's face with his disrespectful attitude when revealing himself later.

"Actually not disturbing. Rarely see a new student here during the early days of admission." Huang Jingtian looked at Gu Yuena closely, making Gu Yuena even more wary. "It seems I've seen you somewhere."

Right, huh? Huang Jingtian's eyes were so observant that he could suspect her the first time he saw her. Gu Yuena could only think of a way to escape the man.

Gu Yuena laughed awkwardly. "It looks like my face is too marketable. Sorry for not being able to accompany His Majesty, Your Majesty can't be bothered either, I'm saying goodbye first."

"Absolutely not disturbing. Didn't you come for a walk? The dormitory is still not open at this time."

Did Huang Jingtian already know his identity? Gu Yuena became suspicious that actually this face was already so famous that others could remember it. Looks like he'll have to apply a little face-changing decoration.

For now, he should avoid Huang Jingtian's investigation. "no need. Your Majesty, I have business and must meet my friend. I'm going first." Gu Yuena hurriedly left for fear of being recognized. It can be difficult if it is recognized on the first day. The plan will be fucked.

Huang Jingtian seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it back down. He just said, "If there's anything, you can tell me."

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Gu Yuena bowed 90° and left as soon as possible.

Huang Jingtian chuckled at her. He muttered, "An interesting girl."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Miss, the Crown Prince already knows your identity." Xiao Hei was very sorry.

Gu Yuena paced around indistinctly while nibbling her hand anxiously. So right, the man already knew his identity. His attitude is strange.

Did Gu Yuan tell him that he was coming to the academy then Huang Jingtian guessed it?

Or ... breath?

As Su Churan said, recognizing a person from the breath. A person with a certain level of cultivation would be able to recognize the breath of a familiar person and distinguish it from other breaths.

Although Gu Yuena's breath could only be vaguely felt and could not be tracked from a distance, it was still discovered if faced head-on. Unless using a special method to change one's breath.

He just wishes it all ended quickly.

"It looks like the Crown Prince is an inner-yard disciple. Don't worry, we won't see each other often." Xiao Hei tried to calm his nonanya.

"Yes ...." Gu Yuena sighed to calm her heart. Just scary. It shouldn't have to be this sweet. It's just .. The feeling is not good.

Hope nothing bad happens.

Or get something bad.

He sat on the garden chair while looking at the slowly dripping rainwater. He hated the rain, because it was a bad omen for him.

"Hey, he said the new disciple this time was unusual. In addition to anyone who got the level 5 monster element energy, there were also those who got the level 4 monster element energy very much!"

"Very much? How many?"

"I heard about 100 more. That number is very much like being evicted from the outer layer of the forest. Moreover, he also got a rare level 6 monster element energy! Like ... elemental energy belongs to Purple Jade Deer."

"Ah, I just got the information that he is very handsome. Will it be as handsome as the Crown Prince?"

"Can't, can't be more handsome. If it is more handsome, it will be difficult to choose. There's no way I'm in love with two guys at once."

"Hey, what's as handsome as this kid?"

One pointed at Gu Yuena who was a henchman stroking Xiao Hei. They were gossiping right behind the seat that Gu Yuena was occupying.

The female disciples flocked to look at Gu Yuena. Their eyes immediately sparkled like they were looking at a treasure.

"Come on, but you're so beautiful as a woman. What's yourname?" One of them asked.

"Gu Yue." Gu Yuena's bad feeling was answered. What if I came as a woman? It's gonna be more fucked up.

"Gu Yue .. if you weren't a man, I would definitely think you were Gu Yuena from the Yi Empire in disguise."

Gu Yuena pretended not to hear.

"Gu Yuena's? Who's Gu Yuena?"

"Adik Gu Yuan, also a friend of the Crown Prince. She said she was so beautiful, even the Crown Prince could not take her eyes off her. Unfortunately, just a piece of trash."

"Junk? Is true?"

"Ah, what a pity. He can only be betrothed to someone and give birth to a child in order to be useful. There is no future at all."

Gu Yuena felt her heart tingled to the point of wanting to laugh, but she just kept quiet. Thinking about how those gossipy students were talking about someone right in front of him, or indeed right behind his chair, he was eager to laugh.

Definitions really talk about the person behind.

Gu Yuena finally chose to go away from the gossipers. They originally wanted to ask Gu Yuena a lot of things, but Gu Yuena just ran away.

He did not want to deal with the chili mouth of the young girl. Let them fantasize for themselves.

In the end, Gu Yuena chose to go to the dormitory. He had recognized the school environment when he was traveling.

When in the outer yard, he will get a study schedule and follow the lessons like a regular school. In addition, there were also training arenas and battle arenas, the two arenas had functions as the name suggested.

To reach the inner courtyard, an exam will be held every 6 months. If for 5 years do not pass the test, it will be issued. While those who pass, will get the opportunity to enter the inner page and study freely to take the ranking exam.

The ranking exam determines whether or not the disciple has the qualification of staying in Yuansu Palace as a member. Among them, only the top ten got their quota in.

As for going to the Yuansu Library, Gu Yuena had to go to the inner courtyard first. He did not need to get a quota of staying in Yuansu Palace, but he had to at least enter the top twenty to get a chance to visit Yuansu Palace as an experience.

Again the criteria and arrangements are simple, but complicated when done.

The complete resources of Yuansu Academy were indeed incomparable. Everything is luxurious and has the best quality.

Each division has its own activities and organizations such as a faculty. There is also a mandatory organization that must be entered by each student while on the outside page, namely professional organizations.

Mage, assassin, hunter, summoner, guardian, archer, alchemist, forge, and healing, each is a branch of the profession organization that trains students to focus on the intended profession and what to do during the outer hours. All schedules come from that organization.

When entering the inner courtyard, the disciple is free to determine his life choices as long as he can continue to increase his strength and pass the test. Their access was also freer to look for cultivation materials, let alone attend tournaments or such.

Currently, Gu Yuena had been in the dorm building in the western part of the academy. This dormitory is blended for the entire academy's students from all divisions. That is why, there are so many numbered doors when entering the interior of the building.

The hostel guard was sitting reading a book in the lobby of the building. Gu Yuena approached, then handed over the previously modified token in addition to storing elemental energy, to store the data herself.

The hostel guard received the token, then scanned it with a stone-based tool carved in runes. A light entered into the token, before it was finally handed over.

"Gu Yue, it's in room number 2106. This token is already the key, just scan it next to the door." The old man of the dorm guard returned to reading his book after saying a sentence that had been memorized out of his head as long as there were newcomers.

Gu Yuena accepted it, then looked at her token which inscribed the dorm number with a white light. "2106."

He remained silent for a while, then went up the stairs to go to the floor listed in the token.

The 21st floor

The building has a total of 30 floors. It is conceivable how crazy it would be for an ordinary person to go up and down to such a high floor without an elevator. It seems, the students are also lazy to return to the dormitory because of the high floor, or the students are lazy to go out if they are already in the dorm room. You can see the dorm building is quiet.

Arriving at the 21st floor, Gu Yuena searched her room in each hallway. This building was so big that Gu Yuena had to search each of the long and deserted hallways for just one room. He was tired of carrying a bag in his hand during the search.

Until finally reached the intended room, he scanned the token to the left of the door. The wall next to the door jutted inward, perfectly fitting the size of the token. The door also showed the sound of an open key.

Gu Yuena opened the door. However, it seemed like there was already someone inside due to the light of the room being lit. He entered without saying anything and closed the door again.

But when Gu Yuena turned around to look at her large room, her gaze spurred on the figure of the man standing on the balcony while looking at the rain that was starting to pour.

His back .. feels familiar.

The man looked over, feeling someone was watching him. When her handsome face was revealed back against the torrent of rain, accompanied by a unique night blue iris, Gu Yuena's body froze instantly.

"You?"

The man smiled. "Welcome, roommate."

Gu Yuena's face flushed instantly. "Luo Youzhe, how did you get here?"

"Why do you think I'm here?"

Gu Yuena did not know whether to laugh or cry. The man asked for his opinion? Just be right!

"This is not true. You should be at Yinyang Academy."

"I moved on."

"But it doesn't have to be room."

"I have no power in Yuansu Academy. So I'm not the one who set up the dorm. I'm even surprised you went to school here." Luo Youzhe clasped his chest.

Gu Yuena sighed. Really, he had never felt this irritated in his entire life. He turned out of the room carrying all his belongings to file a move room.

Luo Youzhe followed Gu Yuena away to the ground floor. Gu Yuena went down the stairs in a hurry. If not dead, it is better to jump from the height of the 21st floor than to descend one by one.

Arriving at the ground floor, Gu Yuena directly placed her token on the dorm guard table.

"I want to move rooms." He pointed at Luo Youzhe who was standing a few meters behind him. "If not with him, with anyone."

The hostel guard said indifferently. "In dormitory rules, it is not allowed to change dormitory friends, unless the hostel friend is out or expelled from the academy."

"There must be an exception." Gu Yuena insisted. He didn't want his daily life to be messed up by that damn guy. Not want!

"Listen, I'm here to serve only as a housekeeper and maintain order. If you don't fulfill it, I won't remain silent."

"You ...." Gu Yuena was at a loss for words. Out of annoyance, he took back his shop and went to the room by force.

Never mind, there is no point in arguing with parents. He'll handle it himself.

"You've slept with me, still want to change partners? How heartless." Luo Youzhe satirized next to her.

"Shut up!"

This dormitory began to be crowded with students passing by so Gu Yuena was too lazy to discuss it. Stupidly Luo Youzhe was instead discussing that ambiguous matter.

"You should be grateful to have the same room as someone you know. We are a sister and sister-in-law, let alone having a short relationship, no need to hesitate."

Gu Yuena stopped her steps. He pushed Luo Youzhe until the man was cornered on the wall. Gu Yuena looked at him sharply.

"If you speak again, I'll cut off your tongue."

Luo Youzhe precisely smiled, and brought their faces closer together. "In what way? Bitten?"

Gu Yuena stomped on Luo Youzhe's foot hard before finally leaving. Luo Youzhe complained in pain, then ran over to Gu Yuena.

"I have no friends here, we better help each other as roommates." Luo Youzhe spoke casually.

"I have Xiao Hei."

"Meow~" Xiao Hei greeted from Gu Yuena's sling bag.

"He's an animal."

"What's different about you?" Gu Yuena glanced sharply.

Luo Youzhe chuckled. "So you think of me as an animal? If I become an animal like you said, I'm afraid you've cried."

"I'm not a whiny."

"Then who was crying said he was left behind by everyone?" Luo Youzhe pretended to think.

Gu Yuena grew even more headache and accelerated her pace up to the room. After opening the door, he instantly closed it before Luo Youzhe entered. Almost the door hit his head.

Luo Youzhe opened the door, then looked at Gu Yuena who was tidying up the goods. Their rooms were so large they could fit five beds.

There are beds, cabinets, study tables, and bookshelves for personal items. In the other corner was a table and chairs to receive guests, a cultivation ground with velvet floor mats, and one large bathroom with two tubs. All complete in a large room that is like an apartment. Less kitchen.

"By the way, if you don't disguise yourself as a man, we won't be one room." Luo Youzhe sat down casually while watching Gu Yuena.

"If I come as a woman, fear of trouble to come and bring the Duke's House."

"So who did you come as?"

"Gu Yue's. My brother gave me a name." Gu Yuena did not need to hide it.

"I think there's another reason why you should go undercover. Not afraid I'll dismantle it?" Based on Gu Yuan's temperament, it was impossible for the man to allow Gu Yuena. There must be a reason as an exception.

"You won't." Gu Yuena looked at him sharply. "For some other reason, it's none of your business. You yourself should have been in Yinyang Academy as an inner disciple, instead going to Yuansu Academy to repeat the lesson."

"It doesn't matter to add experience and insight, does it? I need a connection here, too. That's how I work."

"So when on the black market, did you join the assassins for a connection? Business?"

Luo Youzhe simply replied with a smile, whether true or not.

"I assume that's true." Gu Yuena did not want to bother.

Assassins have always been a feared profession, but not as forbidden as witches. Because of the heavy and complicated training method, it is very rare to become an assassin unless you join a certain group of assassins, or are born into an assassin family.

It is rare for an assassin family to exist, as most of them are bloodthirsty psychopathic families. Assassin was indeed bloodthirsty. If the hunter thirsts for monster blood, then the assassin thirsts for human blood.

The Luo Clan was not an assassin family, so it was most likely that Luo Youzhe was training in a certain group. While Yinyang Palace did not learn the science of Assassin, but the concept of yin and yang. One of those groups must be the black market manager. That meant, apart from selling items at the auction, Luo Youzhe also worked as a hitman.

That was all Gu Yuena could conclude. The rest, Luo Youzhe was still a mystery in his eyes, including the fact that Luo Youzhe knew of his cultivation at a time when everyone could not detect. It has nothing to do with a one-night relationship. He still has to be careful.

Luo Youzhe noticed Gu Yuena who seemed to be opening the mage book for her knowledge of mages.

"You're asking me so much, are you interested?" Luo Youzhe suddenly uttered a speech that made Gu Yuena's ears hot.

Gu Yuena looked at him flatly. "You ask yourself a lot, are you interested in me?"

"Yes, you could say that." He walked up to Gu Yuena, then looked down at her. "I'm interested in you."

"Suspicious," Gu Yuena muttered as she pulled Luo Youzhe's head away. "Don't try to find out anything from me."

"Come on, you forgot your promise to tell the secret of the Ye Clan."

"Nothing, I tricked you."

"So you tricked me into sleeping with you?"

"I tricked you into saving my life." Gu Yuena closed her book holding back her resentment. "I still love my life, why do I have to be honest when you want to kill me? Back then you didn't know that I was Gu Yuena, so you could have killed me for knowing too much. I'm just trying to protect myself."

"I didn't kill you."

"You're gonna kill me. The wound will rot, you yourself said the wound was too bad. You're keeping me out of the inn, it's the same as killing me. So I made a short essay and made sure you believed that I would be healed. My plan was to run after you got drunk, but apparently you weren't drunk with a glass of wine. I got drunk because I thought I wouldn't get drunk because I'm used to it, but it's wrong." Gu Yuena finally revealed everything.

Luo Youzhe did not look surprised. "So you're admitting a mistake?"

"I'm explaining a situation I remember. So don't take it because I'm interested in your body. I'm not a pervert. For the reason why I pulled you, it was because my mind was being muddled and carried away by the hot effects of wine. Anyway, it wasn't my first kiss." Gu Yuena said it clearly without shame. He doesn't even half say anything vulgar.

Luo Youzhe was silent for a while, appearing to be hiding something but not saying it. He looked at Gu Yuena carefully.

"You ever kissed Ye Suanwu?" asked Luo Youzhe.

"Honestly, my brain used to enter water so it could like it. But I didn't think about the first kiss at all. As for Ye Suanwu, not one of the people who kissed me."

Somehow Luo Youzhe was feeling annoyed. Some guy? Gu Yuena has kissed a lot of men? How come?

Luo Youzhe laughed suddenly making Gu Yuena frown. It seemed Luo Youzhe was in disbelief. It's okay, no need to explain.

"If you were someone else, I would believe it. But Gu Yuena, since when do women like you just kiss people?"

"Women like me? Whatchu mean?" Gu Yuena was getting annoyed.

"You love your brother so much, it's impossible to switch hearts and kiss people carelessly, isn't it? Besides, with your temperament, it's impossible unless you're drunk or forced."

Gu Yuena was silent. So far, he has kissed due to forced circumstances and work. He did not think too much about it, but all the perpetrators had moved nature. Only Luo Youzhe was still alive out of the many men who touched his lips.

He was annoyed to realize Luo Youzhe recognized him well.

"Don't act like you know me well." Gu Yuena clasped her chest while leaning against the support of the chair.

Luo Youzhe placed both of his hands on Gu Yuena's seat handle. He bowed lower, almost wiping out the distance between the two.

"I don't know you better than you do. Just like you don't know me very well." He was silent for a while looking at Gu Yuena's blood red netra which reflected his figure. "One thing you should know, I don't like when there's another guy around you, nor do you like it when you say you've kissed someone else."

Gu Yuena blankly stared at the blue iris that night. To the point of not being aware that the man lowered his face to put their lips together and sneaked his tongue to play.

Gu Yuena spontaneously closed her eyes, unable to think of anything other than listening to the rain and tingling as if a butterfly was flying in her stomach.

His breath hunts when deepening kisses and tongue touching. Until finally the sound of thunder resuscitated the two, then they removed the link together.

Gu Yuena spontaneously covered her mouth and turned her face away, while Luo Youzhe straightened her back. Not knowing what he was thinking, the man just walked out of the room.

Gu Yuena took off her own making and took in as much oxygen as she could.

He felt so crazy!

"What did I do? I should have hit him .... It's really crazy!"
