Dance Of The Phoenix
76. The Miracle of Fried Chicken

Since the meeting time was still a few days away, Gu Yuena planned to cultivate alone in the inn room.

But it doesn't seem to be going well.

"Unclearly Brother, help me~" Ru Meng walked in without knocking on the door while complaining.

Gu Yuena sighed, then looked at the young man with a smile. The smile that made Ru Meng feel a chill on his back.

It seems like he had the wrong time.

"Other times, I'll ask Elder Min to teach you tatakrama."

Ru Meng paled instantly. "Sister, you're so happy to joke around."

"Haha, it seems like I'm always joking in your eyes. Tap on the door before entering, and wait whether I allow it or not. It seems, you're too happy in Yin City to forget all that."

It was fortunate that Gu Yuena was in the position of going to cultivate, what if in the position of being changed into clothes? This is the rule of entering the room of the opposite sex, you know!

"Silver Brother, it's my fault. You ... don't need to be so sensitive." Ru Meng felt bad.

Gu Yuena turned the eyeballs. "What's in a hurry?"

"That's ... Jin Xiao from Luye Palace came." Ru Meng looked emotional all of a sudden. "He came and asked about you. He said bad things about you because of the rumors 6 years ago."

Gu Yuena was twitching her throbbing forehead. "Which crazy person is this again." When does he have a quiet time!

"I guess .. This was caused by Lin Xi. I heard Jin Xiao was Lin Xi's best friend when the inter-clan meeting was held."

"Had to say, a madman is friends with a madman" Gu Yuena sneered.

"Then how is this? What do we do?"

Gu Yuena let out a long breath. "What can I do? His Majesty and Master said that I should not show hostility."

Ru Meng somewhat disagreed. "But—"

"Don't mean we're gonna lose, right? Take me." Take me in." It seemed Gu Yuena had an idea. It depends on how Jin Xiao behaves in front of him.

Ru Meng instantly brightly saw Gu Yuena going to intervene by herself. Haha, just look at that Jin clan. His elder brother was a feared person in Yuansu Palace. Even Lin Xi had to rethink if she wanted to take him down.

Want to deal with this Miss Gu? Ru Meng was sure there would be an exclusive spectacle in person that would fill the media.

The young man took his idol to the ground floor of the inn to meet the woman surnamed Jin. He's so excited!

Whereas on the other hand, the figure of a beautiful girl who looked very refined and graceful sat on the chair that the inn had provided politely. He took a sip of a cup of tea, making him appear to exude an elegant noble aura.

"Truly disrespecting the guest, letting our Miss Jin wait this long." One of the followers standing behind Jin Xiao's chair spoke in a satirical tone.

Yun Qiao on the other hand looked at them unfriendlyly. Usually he looked very gentle, but his gaze turned cold.

He recognized Jin Xiao. Her background is very strong as the daughter of Palace King Luye as well as the strongest successor candidate to the throne. He was not easily offended, and had a good relationship with the Lin Clan over Lin Xi's approach during the inter-clan meeting.

Although Jin Xiao had an outstanding reputation and was known to be a good person, in fact he was extremely cunning. There were many strong people behind him who were supportive because most sneaky women like Jin Xiao held the weakness of those people.

She's a terrible woman.

It looks like an angel, but it's actually a demon.

Even without people noticing, the woman's 'friendly' remark had made people aware of Gu Yuena's cruel acts in the past. It was like that, Jin Xiao still had a thick face.

Yun Qiao thought the person with the same ability to defeat Jin Xiao was none other than Gu Yuena herself. So he patiently waited.

Amidst this mortal calm, Ru Meng suddenly appeared with a burning spirit alongside the figure of a beautiful woman by his side. The two of them went down the stairs, becoming the center of attention especially for Gu Yuena's level that exceeded expectations.

Because, Gu Yuena was not wearing a veil at the moment.

Jin Xiao who was looking at Gu Yuena could not help but feel envious. In Luye Palace, he killed or damaged the faces of women whose beauty exceeded his own, so he was called the prettiest woman in Luye Palace. Gu Yuena's current presence was a stain.

In an instant, she felt she had to get rid of Gu Yuena in order to remain the prettiest female title.

For now, he should display his own merits more prominently. Neither temperament nor talent, he was better than that woman.

In fact, Jin Xiao could not sense Gu Yuena's spiritual aura. In his eyes, Gu Yuena was no different from ordinary folk who capitalized on faces.

But in fact, Gu Yuena's presence had completely captured all the attention that Jin Xiao had previously directed. Especially her smile that was so dazzling like a beautiful and sweet flower.

They did not know, Ru Meng and Yun Qiao were being extremely careful when they saw that one smile. A smile that does not reach the eyes.

(for those who do not know, a sincere smile is usually until the eyes narrow. However, if the smile does not make the eyes narrow or even not wrinkle the ends of the eyes, it is usually referred to as an insincere smile. You can have a forced smile or a cold smile.)

"I've heard from my younger brother-in-law about you, so decided to leave cultivation because I didn't want to make Miss Jin wait too long. I hope Miss cursed him." Gu Yuena said slowly and clearly, while staring at Jin Xiao's pair of black irises.

Jin Xiao looked at Gu Yuena carefully once again. Hair and iris eyes are similar and unique. He wanted.

However, there was one thing that interested him.

"Did Miss Gu have a blood relationship with the Wyvernia royal family before?" Jin Xiao was trying to be sure.

"Eitherway. Think of it like that. Miss Jin's insight was vast, it was certain to be able to guess some possibilities."

The possibility that Gu Yuena was an illegitimate child of the royal family? Jin Xiao was eager to laugh thinking about it. Only an illegitimate child was not recognized and thrown into Yuansu Palace as trash apparently. He may have the right to be a representative of the palace.

"But there's no way Miss Jin thinks that I'm an illegitimate child of the royal family, right? It hurt my pride. After all, I still have the noble blood of my margaret." Gu Yuena's words that were on target made Jin Xiao somewhat annoyed.

"I heard that the Gu noble had fallen a few years ago, so sorry for you." Jin Xiao confirmed that Gu Yuena was just an outcast noble, not worth it at all.

"Miss Jin is very humble, I'm quite flattered. By the way, Miss Jin's arrival this time must not be because she wants to express her condolences, right? I heard from my junior sister, Miss Jin also expressed her condolences for the death of the brats a few years ago. It was a surprise, but I'm sure every palace has a lot of bad boys dying every year. Will Miss Jin offer her condolences to the entire palace? It seems Miss Jin knows a lot of what's going on inside the palace."

Jin Xiao was speechless at Gu Yuena's words. This woman will be hard to deal with. Fortunately Jin Xiao was already used to this situation.

Jin Xiao chuckled amusedly in response to Gu Yuena's remark. "Miss Gu .. no, can I call you by name? Gu Yuena?"

"Of course, it'll make us look familiar."

"You're really good at joking. Each palace has its own network to know the intricacies of the situation. Moreover, the current case is very open and has been spread everywhere. Gu Yuena, your popularity has even reached Luye Palace. That's why I'm seeing you."

"Oh? I didn't know I was so famous. It seems, being busy cultivating keeps me from noticing this."

Yun Qiao and Ru Meng back there could barely help but laugh. Don't know your own popularity? In fact, almost every day Gu Yuena becomes narcissistic and tells how popular she is.

"There are so many people who admire you. I hope, you are willing to visit to please them," Jin Xiao said.

"Jin Xiao, when there were you, they just liked me better. Do you mind?" Gu Yuena pretended to be arrogant. Ah, he was provoking the woman through popularity.

"Looking at your ability, I don't mind. I heard you are also talented in the art field. If I could, I'd like to see how you express art at the talent show later." Jin Xiao switched the topic smoothly.

"Did Jin Xiao also like art? Then what a coincidence, I once danced at my sister's wedding to a great clan."

"Once?" Jin Xiao almost laughed. It could be showing off a dancing experience that is not even a finger count. This Gu Yuena was too confident.

"Actually not really once. That was the first time I was on stage. I'm still an amateur, maybe Jin Xiao can be better than me." Gu Yuena showed her humility.

"I don't know if I don't try. I could play music, and first became a dance accompanist. What if we work together?" Jin Xiao reached out to shake hands.

Gu Yuena smiled until her eyes narrowed, then welcomed her hand, "Alright, please cooperate."

Ru Meng almost dropped her jaw when she saw the two women shaking hands with each other familiarly.

What the hell's going on? Shouldn't there be a commotion?

When did they become familiar?

Seeing Ru Meng's expression go wrong, Yun Qiao immediately whispered, "This is just the start for a competition. We can't fight them blatantly to avoid direct conflict, can only fight back when the show is held. Remember, Your Majesty forbids us from showing hostility openly before anything is accomplished."

Ru Meng nodded his head in understanding. He saw the two women shaking hands with a smile.

The longer he watched, his body suddenly creeped.

I don't know because of what.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Gu Yuena lost her cultivating mood due to her high-level siblings Gu Yuena's plan to dance with Jin Xiao's music.

"Anyways, Seperguruan's sister should perform differently next week. We will both accompany you shopping for clothes and accessories, we Yuansu Palace will support you from the suppression of Luye Palace!" Ru Meng acted the most horrendous since then.

"What Ru Meng said was right. Xiao Yuena, you must not be lazy. This is your maiden appearance representing Yuansu Palace. You should also practice well." Yun Qiao said slowly but clearly. His words made Gu Yuena glance cynically.

"I can't dance, you know. My experience is more than you think." Gu Yuena was a bit annoyed when Yun Qiao still told her to learn to dance. The man did not see her dance in the Ye Clan.

"Alright, then, are you going to appear in the clothes you used to wear in the Palace?"

"That's good. Just need a little accessories to look more like an idol." Gu Yuena told the truth. There were still a lot of clothes that he had not worn since he was bought.

"can't. As a disciple of Yuansu Palace, you should not wear clothes that you have already worn. You take it easy, I'll pay."

"I don't like the design of the clothes here." Gu Yuena looked for a way to refuse.

"Then, we look for leading designers. I'll ask the mayor for help finding him." Yun Qiao looked very enthusiastic.

"Are you going to dance with me or with you?" Gu Yuena looked at them flatly.

Ru Meng chuckled. "Silver as a school, there is no harm in beautifying yourself. Although you are already very beautiful even without decoration, in your civil appearance this must be even more special."

"It's just free if it's going to be ruined because of the fight." Gu Yuena still refused.

"Therefore we are looking for famous designers. Come on, let's go to the mayor's residence." Yun Qiao immediately stood up, while Ru Meng held Gu Yuena's hand which was still straining the chicken.

Gu Yuena complained all out because her chicken had not run out yet. Therefore, he was forced to take the whole chicken on the table and bring it out.

At the mayor's residence, at Yun Qiao's request, the mayor immediately excitedly invited his famous designer subscription. Gu Yuena was directed to stand while stretching out her hands during the measurement.

Gu Yuena was caught off guard.

Usually, they buy clothes that are immediately made.

"Miss, are there any specific criteria for the desired dress?" ask the designer who is a man with glasses and looks very meticulous.

"Yes, must be a dress that is easy to make motion, because my activities are not just delicate activities. Just make clothes that are comfortable to use when fighting."

"Miss Gu seems to be very active." The designer chuckled, then looked for a clothing design that would most likely match Gu Yuena's criteria.

After a casual measure, Gu Yuena sat down on the bench. He looked at Yun Qiao and Ru Meng with a feeling of annoyance, whereas the two people were just grinning innocence.

At the same time, the door of the room opened, revealing three men and one woman who entered the room. One of the men who looked to be in their 40s was the mayor, escorting three of his guests respectfully inside.

"This is a rare coincidence. Ladies and gentlemen, they are representatives of Yuansu Palace who came with the same purpose as you." The middle-aged man said to the three youngsters, then turned his head towards Gu Yuena and the others. "I'm sorry if I interrupt, they are representatives of Tianshuang Palace who will also order clothes for the meeting event next week. Are Mister and Miss pleased? I won't bother."

Yun Qiao nodded happily as did Ru Meng. The two of them displayed the best side for the people of Tianshuang Palace.

After all, that was their goal.

"Alright, thanks for the cooperation." The mayor bowed, then allowed the three young men to walk in the designated direction.

Afterwards, the mayor left without being able to interfere.

Six representatives from two different palaces, were in one room.

Not that the atmosphere cooled down as it did when dealing with Luye Palace, the Tianshuang Palace side was instead the opposite of the attitude of Luye Palace.

As usual, the two innocent brats who had just come out of the cave looked at Gu Yuena with eyes shining brightly like looking at a treasure.

Ru Meng went up to the creeps.

"It turns out you are a representative of Yuansu Palace. Worth it, I feel you're not ordinary." The woman among them wanted to approach Gu Yuena, but her older brother glanced at her until he fell silent.

Gu Yuena responded with a smile, "Thank you."

It made the two of them even more enchanted!

"Miss, come here please." The woman who was hired specifically to measure the body asked the woman to go to the other side.

The woman left awkwardly. This is the first time it has been measured. If only their elders had not forced.

The remaining two men sat in the prepared place— in front of the three humans of Yuansu Palace.

The atmosphere became awkward.

Ru Meng whispered to Gu Yuena, "Your fans have already arrived at Tianshuang Palace. It's really amazing."

Gu Yuena turned to him with a smile, then blinked one eye as a sign that her mood was improving looking at the woman's priesthood. Ru Meng was stunned, her face flushed red instantly seeing how sweet Gu Yuena was as she winked.

Yun Qiao also whispered, "This is not included when Xiao Yuena performed her dance to defeat Jin Xiao.

"That's right!" Ru Meng wanted to squeal, but she realized in front of her was a stiff and cold man who made her hold back.

Are all the members of Tianshuang Palace strange? The other two pointed to admiration like children, while the other was like a living statue.

Gu Yuena looked at the dull-looking man. He did not recognize her, or feel familiar. But for some reason, he felt a strange and familiar aura.

Aware of being noticed by a certain beautiful woman, the poker man accidentally glanced at her until their gaze collided. Suddenly, the man's face turned red. He immediately avoided Gu Yuena's sight, pretending not to see her.

Gu Yuena was conscious and was eager to laugh.

How funny!

"Lately a lot has happened. I hope that Tianshuang Palace and Yuansu Palace can have a good relationship in the future." Yun Qiao tried to start a conversation.

But the two men just stared at him flatly. Totally flat. It was different when he saw Gu Yuena.

Yun Qiao fell silent, feeling hostile.

Gu Yuena realized that the situation was not good, she cleared her throat and placed the design catalogue book in her hands. "So, Tianshuang Palace actually joined this event. I could not believe it and was looking forward to it. My name is Gu Yuena, representative of Yuansu Palace." Gu Yuena glanced at Yun Qiao and Ru Meng alternately, "He is my elder brother, Yun Qiao, the direct disciple of the Yuansu Palace King, and my younger brother, Ru Meng. I hope we can have a good relationship going forward."

The carefree-looking man looked at Gu Yuena stunned for a moment. He hurriedly introduced himself. "My name is Zhou Wei." He glanced at the stiff man next to him, "He is my older brother-in-law, as well as my cousin, Zhou Tao. That woman is my sister, Zhou Ying."

"Ah, Zhou brothers. I also have a very good sister. You must love your sister as much as my brother loves me." Gu Yuena responded in a friendly manner.

This made Zhou Wei blush instantly. Did that beautiful woman just talk to him? Praised her?

Zhou Ying who had just finished taking measurements immediately sat down and stole a bashful glance towards Gu Yuena. She looks so cute with her cheeks and round eyes like a baby.

Gu Yuena obviously could not ignore this kind of timidity.

"You must be Zhou Ying. Seeing you, I remember the past. I used to be very shy, and I couldn't resist eating chicken. Do you want to try fried chicken?" Gu Yuena approached Zhou Ying in an effective manner of persuasion. He handed over the lunch box with the chicken he had brought.

Zhou Ying looked sparkling. Fried chicken .. she likes fried chicken, it turns out Miss Gu also really likes fried chicken. Unable to resist, he was timid to take it.

"Thank you." Perfectly fitting, the elder forbade him to eat fried chicken because it was too greasy. I have missed this food for a long time. Miss Gu is indeed the best.

Mamang, no one can deny the enjoyment of fried chicken.

Yun Qiao and Ru Meng were not in a state of mind. Gu Yuena could have caught the attention of those people so quickly, whereas they were given a hostile look. Totally two-faced!

Then what did Gu Yuena say just now? A shy? What did resisting by being so domineering and humiliating the Lin Clan was a shame? His face is thick.

Suddenly, they saw Gu Yuena like she was looking at a different person.

"Xiao Yuena, I leave it all to you." Yun Qiao willingly handed everything over to Gu Yuena. Only the girl can take over.

"This is the miracle of fried chicken." Gu Yuena replied with a light ruckus.

Actually the magic fried chicken or the guy?

Clearly the representatives of Tianshuang Palace were lured to him, not fried chicken. Well, even though certain women really enjoy the chicken.

Before the meeting was held, Gu Yuena managed to attract their attention. Going forward will be easier.

Merely, Gu Yuena was still curious about the stiff man who seemed to be just silent from earlier. Other than pondering and doing nothing, Gu Yuena was unable to see anything else.

What exactly is a living statue in disguise?

By the way, he became curious about the presence of Bai Youzhe at that time. Did he just ask?
