Dance Of The Phoenix
42. Determinator Match

Gu Yuena's arrival at the academy using the imperial horse carriage made many people wonder what her relationship with Huang Jingtian was. They were on the same train.

At that moment, those who were curious instantly flocked to approach Gu Yuena as Huang Jingtian said goodbye and went to the inner courtyard. Again Gu Yuena had to face people alone.

Gu Yuena who was already dressed like 'Gu Yue' ignored many of those questions while walking quickly and pretending not to look. His quick footsteps traced the place to the dormitory.

Huang Jingtian was a future Emperor candidate, it was certain that many wanted to get close to him in order to make a profit. Gu Yue suddenly came to show her closeness, making them think of mending ties first to Gu Yue, just approaching Huang Jingtian for the sake of the future in the Yi Empire.

Such thinking is very predictable. Even the fans of Lin Susu who had previously insulted Gu Yue started to put on a thick face.

Gu Yuena did not like that kind of attention. He chose to go straight to the room to rest and run from the trivial problems that befell him. Better to focus on the final exam.

When he opened the room door in a hurry because of the people behind him, he just walked in and locked the door.

Bodo time, he does not want to receive guests.

He dragged his tired body into place. But his footsteps stopped at that very instant, as soon as he saw a skinny man who had his chest covered a few meters in front of him. The man looked at it with great interest.

Gu Yuena squinted her eyes. Did he enter the room wrong? He didn't know the man.

He sizzled and turned to open the door. Look towards the room number, then be quiet for a while.

The number is correct.

Ignoring the few people who were paying attention to his behavior, Gu Yuena went back inside.

"I don't think I've ever seen you. I've occupied this room since I first entered with my friend, not knowing how you got in and what your purpose is." Gu Yuena folded her hands together in front of her chest, acting quite seriously.

"Unfortunately, the hostel officer gave me the key to this room to occupy. You should've known that your roommate chose to drop out of the academy."

Gu Yuena frowned. So Luo Youzhe actually left just like he said before. This time he wasn't kidding.

Gu Yuena thought she would stay alone and free in this dorm. But apparently he still had to one room with another male student. What can I do? It's okay, while not interrupting each other.

Not wanting to get involved in anything, Gu Yuena chose to ignore the man who became her roommate. The student doesn't look like much fun either. Since then he had put on a haughty and annoying face at all times to the point of making Xiao Hei unhappy to see him.

Perhaps if Gu Yuena was not ranked in the top three arena, he would become a bully.

But at least Gu Yuena was quite happy because her sour-faced roommate did not act as silly as the people outside.

"By the way, what's your relationship with your previous roommate? It looks pretty special." The man seemed to be holding a sealed letter in his hand.

Gu Yuena looked at the letter with narrowed eyes. He could see a small inscription reading "Gu Yue" on the surface of the letter.

Quickly Gu Yuena took the letter, but the man who had the inscription "Xi Cheng" in the uniform as the name raised his hand, but, The shorter Gu Yuena could not reach for the letter until she had to jump around.

"Give it!" Gu Yuena no longer jumped around foolishly, choosing to extend a hand and said in a commanding tone.

"Why should I give you this?" Xi Cheng snorted.

"Because it was meant for me."

The man looked at the letter in his hand with a thinking face. "It seems very important. What if I get my stuff left under the mountain first?"

Gu Yuena chuckled amusedly as if looking at a joke. This man was very brave to rule him. She thought Gu Yuena could not get her wish forcibly?

"Originally you know, I'm not the kind of person who would be compassionate. I like to burn people." Gu Yuena showed a smile that made Xi Cheng horrified himself.

But Xi Cheng was still acting bravely. He remained at his stance for the sake of the emotions in his heart that disliked Gu Yue. "This is the academy, you can't kill a fellow disciple."

Gu Yuena turned the eyeballs. For a long time he was tired of arguing with people like this. At high speed, he grabbed Xi Cheng's hand until the man was swept away and turned around. While Gu Yuena had gotten the letter in her hand.

Not knowing what message Luo Youzhe left behind. Important or not, he will know.

Opening the sealed letter, he took the paper inside. Gu Yuena was silent for a while looking at the one sentence listed inside the piece of paper.

Just one sentence.

"I'll be back."

Gu Yuena's face darkened completely. Only these? Knowing so, he did not need to waste time on insignificant letters and let Xi Cheng hold them for life.

Plus, in addition to that one sentence, there is a picture of a wolf (Luo Youzhe) dominating in front of a small cat (Gu Yuena) who covers his ears while looking down. Gu Yuena was getting annoyed!

"Fuck youzhe Luo!" he muttered while burning the letter under his grasp. Just be careful if you dare to go back.

Xi Cheng only saw how annoyed Gu Yuena was. It was as if he had seen a lion so angry that he did not dare to say anything. Enough of his hands were almost broken because of the strike.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The next day, the academy went as planned. All the disciples had arrived since yesterday so that the final exam would be carried out in full.

The second test is held in the form of a match. Anyone who managed to qualify in the form of strength, would pass the selection and officially become an inner page disciple.

The fight will be drawn based on the number obtained by each participant. If they have the same number, they will compete in the arena when the number is mentioned.

Except for the top 10 who have special rights in the exam. They will play the semi-finals to win the final. After the preliminary round, there would be 20 disciples left. Only then the top 10 students competed with these students as the determinant of the match.

The disciples in the top 10 rankings who were no longer challenging before would show their true potential and could have risen to a higher rank.

At this stage all the disciples already had quotas entering the inner courtyard. However, to maximize the match and class determination, the higher the ranking achieved, the greater the resources and performance obtained.

After the semi-finals, there will be a final match for students who won the top 5 in order to get the first rank. There will be three more matches in this final, which will determine who gets first place or not.

It was known that every first rank disciple could easily enter Yuansu Palace. Of course, their potential would be better known by the members of the palace who could make opportunities to become personal disciples. That was the hope of everyone who was currently gathered listening to the rules of the competition.

As a top 10 ranked disciple, Gu Yuena had absolutely no need to enter the preliminary match. He only had to wait for the semi-finals to arrive to show his strength.

Regardless of how shocking Gu Yue was two months ago when she rejected Lin Milk, Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin remained familiar with her without taking any issue. Although Shen Jialin's view of Gu Yue had changed, she did not take matters further and behaved accordingly.

The two of them took Gu Yuena away to watch the match. From the stands, Gu Yuena could clearly see the match that was being run. It's just that, the match became boring because no one could attract attention.

Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin had taken the number and were about to compete soon. Until the time they finished competing, Gu Yuena then planned to return to the dormitory to prepare for the final match.

"Xiao Yue, are you really going to continue the challenge with Lin Susu?" Mu Xinhuan was still a bit worried. The problem was, Lin Susu's own strength was still not fully visible after such a long time. The disciples who had been in the outer courtyard for a long time did not even know what real power was.

"Even if I want to refuse, I can't." Gu Yuena shook her shoulders indifferently.

Her red iris found a white-clothed female figure standing across the stands with her friends, looking at the match while being admired by many men. She doesn't look like a dangerous woman.

"The fans are very much like a community. They'll be looking for trouble with you soon." Shen Jialin said as she looked at Lin Susu who looked extremely carefree. He didn't like that innocent expression.

"I just thought one of his fans had attacked." Gu Yuena smiled wryly. "I hope the problem will be magnified. It would be exciting if someone revealed his intentions at once."

Gu Yuena's words did not understand the two humans at all. They only looked at Gu Yuena in confusion, whereas the one looked at only showed a sweet smile as if he was waiting for something.

This guy is hard to understand.

Until in the end Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin advanced in turn and won the first match without a long time, Gu Yuena immediately left the venue alone.

Gu Yuena's departure was seen by Lin Susu who had been silently watching while chatting. He said goodbye to his friend, then left, I don't know what he was thinking.

Lin Susu slightly dashed out and looked at Gu Yuena who was walking slowly away from the location of the match. He was in a hurry to call.

"Gu Yue!"

Gu Yuena stopped the steps. The corner of his lips slightly lifted, before finally turning around with a normal face as if it had no intention whatsoever. He looked at Lin Susu, then smiled calmly.

"Did you call me?" Gu Yuena intended to make small talk.

"Some time ago, I may have offended you. Rather than one of us being humiliated at the end of the game, it would be best if we reconcile now. My offer is still the same. I also thought that your answer at that time was a pretext in order to avoid trouble. There's no one here, you can tell your true unwillingness, I'll understand."

"Is that all?" Gu Yuena tilted her head. This Lin Susu was very persistent on her stance.

"Gu Yue, I've been acting very lightly on you, do you still not understand?" Lin Susu seemed to be a bit annoyed.

Gu Yuena snorted. This kid's been getting a little shitty. "Not that I don't understand. But I am not someone who will easily decide something just for some trivial reason. We just met, and don't know each other, why should I trust someone I just met? Why do you have to push me like I've done something to you?"

Lin Susu was silent for a while. Wh-wh-what for? Of course for his own satisfaction. She was the dignified Princess of the Lin Clan in the Yi Empire and had served Yuansu Palace for generations.

She was a princess of pride and never lacked, it was certainly uncomfortable for anyone else to look at her like an ordinary woman. Especially a man.

Gu Yue perfectly matched all the criteria. He could not target Yun Qiao from Yuansu Palace because of his identity, thus upsetting him. Then Gu Yue, who had talent and visuals not inferior to Yun Qiao appeared. He had to get it for the Li Clan before being captured by Yuansu Palace.

In this way, when Yuansu Palace glanced at Gu Yue, he would also be dragged into that fortune.

"Gu Yue, am I so disgusting to you?" Lin Susu was acting pitiful again. It made Gu Yuena as a fellow female fed up.

"You won't understand this moment. But you'll understand when the game's over, even if you win." Gu Yuena behaved indifferently once again and left just like that.

Lin Milk became panicked himself. He hurriedly approached Gu Yuena, then intended to head his way. But suddenly his feet tripped over the rocks until his body shuddered and fell forward.

Gu Yuena naturally retreated so that Lin Susu's body did not bump and made her fall along. Yet suddenly someone out of nowhere came holding back Lin Milk who was about to smell the ground so it floated in the air.

Lin Susu fell silent. He thought Gu Yue would catch him, but he clearly saw Gu Yue standing away from him with a look of relief. If not Gu Yue, then who?

He stood up immediately, then saw the skinny man who had just held him down. He did not know who the man was, but the man looked at him stunned to upset him.

"Thank you." For the sake of saving the face, Lin Susu was grateful and lowered her head. He glanced at Gu Yuena who looked indifferent. Again the plan failed.

The skinny man turned to look at Gu Yuena with an accusatory look. He said with sarcasm. "Gu Yue, is this how you treat women?"

"He fell, what does that have to do with me?" Do women treat women like men to women?

"If I wasn't around, Lin Susu would have been hurt because of you. Do you want to take responsibility! Why are you pushing him? A real man will not oppress a woman!"

"Xi Cheng, I know you're one of his fans. Shouldn't you be thanking me for giving you the opportunity to help your idol?" Gu Yuena replied in a defiant voice. Dare to bully him? It will give a backlash.

Xi Cheng, Gu Yuena's new roommate who was dismissing it, snorted in annoyance at Gu Yuena. This was the reason for not liking Gu Yuena.

"You better go with him, maybe he'll be interested in you." Gu Yuena left just like that leaving behind words of provocation that made the two people angry half to death.

As Gu Yuena moved away, Xi Cheng pointed and yelled at her angrily. "Gu Yue, I will make you regret in the final match!"

Gu Yuena turned her head, then showed a provoking smile. "Please! All of you bring your friends, I will serve you with pleasure."

"You dare!" Xi Cheng was so upset that he wanted to beat Gu Yue up. But considering there was still Lin Susu, he became locked himself up.

He let Gu Yue go, then looked at Lin Susu with embarrassment. While the one who was stared at felt uncomfortable and upset to the point of wanting to disappear from the surface.

"Lin Milk, don't worry. I will definitely teach him a lesson in order to know his place and treat you better." Xi Cheng promised with a heavy heart. Facing directly with Lin Susu made her heart beat hard, forgetting the fact that she had just been furious at someone.

Lin Milk only smiled at a glance. "thank you. But you don't have to get to that. This is my business."

"What's wrong, I'm so happy to help." Xi Cheng said shyly.

Lin Susu only slightly nodded. Suddenly he remembered something. "Your name is Xi Cheng, right? How about joining me watch the match with the others?"

"really? Sure thing!" Xi Cheng was so excited that he wanted to jump. They also walked side by side entering the stands to watch the match.

This time, Lin Susu had an interesting idea to make Gu Yue give up. He could not believe that he could not conquer Gu Yue.
