Dance Of The Phoenix
5. Winning the Debate

The Mitian Plains, that was where Gu Yuena was at the moment. The square where two countries within the sphere of six palaces are at odds with each other for world power.

Before the empire, six palaces fought a massive war in an attempt to conquer the entire world and its very existence.

The war involved many things, causing many extinctions and deaths. Many talented humans were killed in the war, the clans were destroyed without a remnant.

As the conflict continued to erode the glory of the six palaces, some castles triggered the formation of the empire in an effort to unify the six palaces. But the suggestion was not welcomed by some palaces, leading to a much more complicated prolonged conflict.

Tianshuang Palace and Linghun Palace were the palaces with the greatest power. They suppressed the other palaces and decided to merge the entire palace into one empire, the Yi Empire.

But unfortunately, although the six palaces had been in the same power and had been creating peace for some time, the old ambitions of each palace had not changed.

One day, the Tianshuang Palace that ruled the entire palace as the Emperor back then, had to die at the hands of its own empress who was a descendant of Linghun Palace. The alliance of the two collapsed just then as well. The other palaces began to conjure up various ambitions and took the pretext of treason to suppress Linghun Palace.

The civil war again ensued, successfully exiling Linghun Palace and removing all its members in various ways. At the same time, the tragedy also caused an internal conflict for Tianshuang Palace that made them have to disappear from the surface.

The Empire began to divide between the election of power or loyalty. As the Yi Empire began to falter, a new empire with stronger potential was formed, the Wyvernia Empire, where its followers belonged to a different tribe that split from the east.

Wyvernia was derived from the name of the legendary and strongest monster at the time. They used a different system of government than the Yi Empire, as well as having a much different bloodline. Like an independent state, they were much different from the Yi Empire.

For some reason, the four palaces began to think of retreating from the inter-imperial power struggle. They laid down several branches in both empires to put restrictions on both empires on the grounds of maintaining peace, as well as sending out scattered clans to maintain the influence of the four palaces to date.

Hundreds of years of history are written in the book. The cold war did not stop even though the world seemed peaceful.

The last book Gu Yuena read about the history is the 25th book series that tells a variety of history for hundreds of years. It was all about the six conflict-ridden palaces and two competing empires fighting over the dominions.

Some of the books in the library had ancient English which seemed to be the language of the Wyvernian Empire. Fortunately, Gu Yuena was used to dealing with the ancient English that even in her former world was no longer used.

Everything he read was a sentence filled with conflict both political and military. He learned from there, without the need to use a guidebook.

Although some parts of history seem unreasonable and full of gaps, he does not need to think too much about it. After all, history is made and fabricated by winners.

In the middle of the library sunhynya, someone stepped foot inward approaching Gu Yuena who was sitting quietly while reading. The person stopped behind Gu Yuena's chair, then cleared his throat.

"I've been looking for you everywhere."

Gu Yuena moved her eyeballs, going from the book she read to the candles in front of her. "Young Master Ye, are there any of us still to talk about?"

That person was Ye Suanwu. He felt uneasy as Gu Yuena's words rang in his head. He felt he had to meet the woman to talk about the truth.

"You're serious about your decision?" Ye Suanwu asked.

Gu Yuena did not turn her head at all, still turning her back to Ye Suanwu. He pulled his eyebrows silently. "According to Young Master Ye, am I going to talk nonsense about my own life? I love Fifth Sister very much, nor do I want Young Master Ye to get lost in an unwanted engagement. I just straightened it out. After all, the relationship of Young Master Ye and Fifth Sister was already inseparable. It's all happening."

"But Gu Yueli is only the daughter of a concubine, can only marry me as a concubine."

"Then, Young Master Ye could look for a daughter from another residence to expand connections. It doesn't have to be the concubine's daughter. There were very many single women in the Yi Empire with good backgrounds and identities deserving of being the Young Master's legitimate wife. I'm right, aren't I?"

Ye Suanwu was silent for a while. He sighed, then walked to the front of Gu Yuena's desk to take a look. As he walked, he said, "I know you were angry with me because of the tragedy of that time. Unexpectedly, you'll just let me go. You could have brought me down with the truth you said. You have proof too."

Gu Yuena smiled faintly, then got up from the chair while carrying a few books in her hand to put back. "I told you, I care a lot about Fifth Brother. Saying the truth, was the same as taking down Fifth Sister. He's so good to me, I can't betray him."

Ye Suanwu smiled. "It's good that you're so attentive." If only Gu Yuena could cultivate and not be considered trash, she would not be having an affair with that spoiled girl. He would prefer the gentle and caring Gu Yuena. Very unfortunate.

After putting down the books, Gu Yuena turned to look at Ye Suanwu. "Young Master Ye, if you still want to be here, Yuena apologizes for not being able to accompany."

"Nothing." Ye Suanwu responded with a smile.

Gu Yuena slightly bowed, then left with Xiao Hei who jumped into his arms. Ye Suanwu only looked at his disappearance.

The man breathed a sigh of relief. "I think I think too much."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

This morning is the time to do what needs to be done. Gu Yuena went to the Family Head's room with some dry snacks as well as tea as the first step.

Jiang Weiwei was still sick so could not accompany him, although Gu Yuena was actually very grateful for that. If possible, the girl continued to get sick longer or die sooner.

Gu Yuena's sudden arrival left many people confused, but no one asked her. Gu Shan who was busy with work saw Gu Yuena enter the room without being called. He couldn't help but wonder. It was unlike Gu Yuena whom he knew.

"Is there something you need?" Gu Shan glanced at him at a glance, then refocused on the parchment and the letters.

Gu Yuena slightly bent her knees to greet him as a 'good boy' before finally saying, "Dad, Yuena came to bring me some snacks and tea so that Dad can calm down to work."

Gu Shan nodded slowly after seeing the snacks and tea that Gu Yuena had arranged on the table. "You've worked hard."

"Regarding yesterday's meeting, Yuena apologized for making a fuss. Yuena's request was indeed a bit outrageous, but Yuena couldn't help but think about Fifth Sister."

Gu Shan glanced at Gu Yuena wondering. "Is there a problem?" He remembered the Ye Clan strongly agreed on Gu Yuena's decision.

Gu Yuena looked down. "Year Young Master Ye came to visit wanting to talk, seemingly not believing Yuena's words. Yuena was confused, what should Yuena tell her. Regarding this, Yuena was indeed a bit careless, but there was no regret."

"Ye Young Master this is indeed a bit complicated. Since he is no longer your fiancee, it would be best if you were not too close to him. It's for your own good. Yuena, you have actually solved the family matter, no need to worry. The Ye clan has absolutely no objection to your decision, Young Master Ye will not bother you either."

Gu Yuena who lowered her head, felt that something was stuck. It seemed like Gu Shan was aware of Ye Suanwu's treatment today, but he just kept quiet. Maybe because of fear of the Ye Clan. That was why he was glad Gu Yuena broke off the relationship and moved him to Gu Yueli.

But unfortunately, Gu Yuena did not agree with the attitude of this old man who ignored his daughter to death at the hands of those idiots. If First Brother finds out, he doesn't know what will happen.

Long speechless, Gu Yuena glanced at the file that had opened just like that on the table. The file speaks ancient English. He guessed, Gu Shan was still dizzy with the language and was waiting for the translator to come. This was Gu Yuena's chance.

"Dad, I'm sorry if Yuena's sassy. But ...." Gu Yuena took the file, then read it at a glance.

"I understand." Gu Yuena looked at her father. "Letter of trade agreements between Yi and Wyvernia. It is the terms of trade and the provisions of the two countries in conducting trade as a form of peace. At the core of the terms, the two countries must reach an agreement and the same benefits. There is no protection in Wyvernia as free trade does."

Gu Shan pensively pensively for a moment. Since when did Gu Yuena get to read Wyvernia?

Gu Yuena wrote the translation quietly. After he finished writing, he handed over the paper in his hand psda Gu Shan.

"Dad, is my statement true?" Gu Yuena tried to validate.

Gu Shan slipped from his shock and cleared his throat. "That ... still has to be validated by the translator."

"Dad, in the future there is no need to use a translator. During this time Yuena did not have time to be filial and always a burden in the family. Yuena felt useless just keeping quiet in the room. Because of Yuena, the Duke Gu's residence's reputation was in danger. Yuena wants to take full responsibility."

"But you just learned Wyvernian."

Gu Yuena smiled meaningfully. "If you don't believe it, you can prove it by your own translator. If Yuena's words are proven, I don't have to pay the translator anymore, let Yuena help."

Gu Shan nodded in agreement. "good. You come back after the translator identifies. Or, want to stay here while you wait?"

"It's better that Yuena doesn't interfere with Dad's work. Yuena resigned herself."

Gu Yuena left in a good mood. The work of the translator is just the beginning.

The loyal Xiao Hei waiting outside directly jumped into Gu Yuena's embrace asking for dielus. Gu Yuena chuckled at him.

"Xiao Hey, we'll be moving soon." Gu Yuena smiled triumphantly. He can see as well as the day ahead.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

In the past few hours, Gu Yuena was lazing in her dilapidated house while waiting for news from Gu Shan. He stole dried fish from the kitchen for Xiao Hei and played with him. He was alone in that gloomy place.

Until the time came, a servant came to give word that he was summoned by Gu Shan into the room. That made Gu Yuena almost jump up in excitement because her plan had really worked. He can't wait to move.

Gu Yuena went to the room Gu Shan brought Xiao Hei in his hand who was happy to play the dried fish on his teeth. He followed the servant, then arrived at the room he had entered this morning.

Merely, there was not only Gu Shan in it. But also the annoying woman who looks like a clown to Gu Yuena. The woman could have stuck like jal*ng to her father.

"Yuena is facing Dad."

Gu Yuena immediately showed her forgotten presence because of the clown woman. She felt that she would bring trouble for him. But it's okay, he's ready to bring black ink to the clown's face.

"Yuena, you've come. Come here." Come here." Gu Shan looked happy at this moment.

"Sir, why are you calling him? Is Yuena having a problem?" Ting Le stood beside Gu Shan's chair and said in an anxious tone. She showed a good mother in front of her husband.

"No need to worry. I called him to fulfill the deal that was previously made."

"Deal?" Ting Le felt that something was wrong.

Gu Shan looked at Gu Yuena happily. "The file you translated and concluded is very suitable with the translator who came just now. Real great. Yuena, since when did you learn Wyvernia?"

Ting Le was so shocked to hear that he was speechless. He looked at Gu Yuena in annoyance. A trash can have such luck.

Gu Yuena smiled behind her veil, then replied, "My mother is a Wyvernian, why can't Yuena speak my mother's native language?"

Hearing Gu Yuena's remark about her mother made Gu Shan moody for a while. True, his wife and first love were indeed Wyvernians who had moved to the Yi Empire. It made Gu Shan come back to his wife who was very similar to Gu Yuena.

On the other hand, Ting Le was getting hotter. It could be that the girl mentioned the woman who kept bothering her in the past. She must not be silent to realize that her husband is starting to think of other women besides her!

"Yuena is very clever. But even though Big Brother Li is a Wyvernia, Yuena still has to learn."

"So according to Madam, Yuena has never studied all this time? First Brother always asks Yuena to learn everything, guiding Yuena to be smart. If it cannot cultivate and martial arts, it should at least have an intelligent brain. If not ...." Gu Yuena stopped her words, looking nervous for a moment as she looked at Ting Le as if she had doubts.

Gu Shan noticed it, then glanced at Ting Le who looked awry. Ting Le instantly tried to control the atmosphere.

"Yuena, I didn't know you lived so hard. Why don't you tell me?" Ting Le was nervous. Lest her husband know that he treated Gu Yuena worse than just exiling her.

"Yuena just didn't want to make the Madam worry. Madam take it easy, Yuena is fine and will not be troublesome. Instead, Yuena wanted to help Dad a little, make herself more useful." Gu Yuena said very humbly as she rubbed the fur of the sleeping cat in her hands.

Gu Shan sighed. "Have it, Yuena, if anything just say it. Since you've already made the decision to help Dad, Dad will accept it. But you still have to learn."

"Yuena understands. Thank you for the opportunity you gave me."

"Sir, does Yuena have to help handle the imperial files? It was an important file, Yuena was also inexperienced. Fear ...."

"Dad, even though Yuena is inexperienced, Yuena can learn to follow Dad. Dad is an example of Yuena, Yuena won't disappoint." Gu Yuena said with confidence. He glanced at Ting Le with a hidden insult.

"My master, Yuena's body is weak and tired easily. I as a mother only worry about her health." Ting Le continued to plead. If Gu Yuena got a position in this residence, then Gu Yueli would be eliminated. He can't let this happen.

Gu Yuena looked at the clown lady with a hunch. You can use that argument to get rid of it. Look, he'll reply later.

"Here you go, Ting Le, Yuena is already big and should be able to be independent. True what Yuena said, can not cultivate, it must have an intelligent brain, then it will not be considered useless. Yuena has been staying at home to study while people call her by the bad nickname— - who made that nickname. Now, it's good that Yuena wants to grow." Gu Shan defended calmly. That left Ting Le at a loss for words.

Gu Yuena smiled sinisterly in her heart. He lowered his head, then went to receive the next news.

As he had expected, Gu Shan directly asked the servants to move Gu Yuena's room to a better place. Not only good, it was even placed next to Gu Yueli's residence!

"Mission is done." Gu Yuena smiled with satisfaction. Rubbing Xiao Hei in his arms, he walked cheerfully to pack up and occupy his new home.
