Dance Of The Phoenix
98. Doubt Gu Yuena

"I'm surprised to see you back. I thought we'd never meet since the attack on Yin City." Jin Xiao said with a meaningful smile, seemingly showing his pleasure of having met an old friend.

Although the truth is not like that.

Gu Yuena replied, "Jin Xiao, we have the same thoughts. Seeing you here, I came to think that our previous show should be repeated. It is possible, with this the purpose of your arrival will be fulfilled."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it. But ...."

"Is there anything that makes you object?"

"I don't think it's appropriate for us to do a show at Tianshuang Palace. You know more clearly how the rules are than I do."

"There aren't too many rules in this place. If Jin Xiao isn't willing, I won't force it either." Gu Yuena smiled mockingly.

This made Jin Xiao desperately want to shout and curse at the woman!

Unfortunately, Jin Xiao could only squeeze the mask as thick as possible and laughed lightly. "Miss Gu is indeed very understanding."

Gu Yuena pulled her brows, then glanced at Gu Yueli who looked to be contemplating alone. "I think Yueli is more subtle and understanding than I am this rude."

Jin Xiao looked towards Gu Yueli, while the one seen only put on a confused face. Jin Xiao remembered that they were half-brothers. Surely their relationship was not that good, just like all the brothers in Luye Palace.

"I brought Madam Ye to come with me opening my horizons. I hope Miss Gu doesn't mind."

"No problem. It's just, I'm a little worried because his existence isn't as good as you think." Gu Yuena said honestly.

"Not as good as what Miss Gu meant?" Jin Xiao wondered.

"For this, Yueli knew more clearly. Didn't we?" Gu Yuena looked at Gu Yueli with a cold smile.

Gu Yueli sighed. "Miss Jin, apologize for the inconvenience. Looks like I have to go back to the clan for some urgent business."

"It's such a hurry." Gu Yuena propped her head up, looking at Gu Yueli with an interested look. He was obviously mocking the woman.

"Miss Gu, I advise you not to do too many activities. Given your situation, Yueli hopes Miss can consider it."

Gu Yuena's gaze darkened. Although his smile was still there and looked extremely calm, his heart clearly felt uneasy.

The pretentious woman was advising him. Although Gu Yuena did not want to believe or listen, it still lingered in her head.

"Send my regards to sister-in-law. I'll pay a visit to the Ye Clan if I'm a match." Gu Yuena responded with an implied warning.

Jin Xiao who became an observer would not be aware of what they meant by the farewell.

In the end, Jin Xiao approached Gu Yueli to convince him to stay here. "Yueli, can't you accompany me any longer?"

Gu Yueli smiled wryly. "There's a little bit of a problem, so I need to get back as soon as possible." He glanced at Gu Yuena at a glance, then looked at Jin Xiao back. "You're fine here."

Jin Xiao sighed. "Well if it's so urgent, I won't force it. Remember, frequent visits to Luye Palace with your daughter, I will welcome you well."

Gu Yueli nodded slowly. His gaze was directed at Gu Yuena who looked pondering. Before he could say anything to Gu Yuena, a tall figure appeared so suddenly behind the woman that it left the two of them shocked.

When he recognized her, Jin Xiao and Gu Yueli bowed in greeting.

"Your Majesty."

Automatically, the two of them stayed in place without daring to say a word let alone raise their eyes. This was the first time Jin Xiao had met Bai Youzhe. He could barely withstand the pressure he was carrying.

Gu Yueli on the other hand fell silent without being able to say anything. He swallowed back his sentence while watching Gu Yuena and Bai Youzhe silently. Unexpectedly, the man he had admired in the past had such an identity.

Ignoring the two women who were silent about his arrival, Bai Youzhe was completely focused on Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena looked depressed. Did those two women bother him again?

"Sin."

Gu Yuena flinched, then looked back following the origin of the voice. Somehow, he became stiff when he saw Bai Youzhe.

"You're here." Gu Yuena was unable to say anything else due to the chaotic thoughts. Gu Yueli's words were still ringing so as not to know how to react.

Bai Youzhe was aware of Gu Yuena's discomfort. He glanced at the two women with a cold look that made them shiver.

"Posts queue." He had the maid who had appeared out of nowhere escort Jin Xiao and Gu Yueli away from the palace garden where they had spoken earlier.

Jin Xiao wanted to say something, but the cold aura from Bai Youzhe made him shut up so he chose to go with the maid. Gu Yueli looked at Gu Yuena for a while before finally leaving.

He hoped, Gu Yuena was willing to take his advice before something bad happened.

After the park became quiet, Bai Youzhe stepped before Gu Yuena and sat down on the available chairs nearby. His cold voice turned in an instant to be attentive.

"Nana, is something bothering you?" ask Bai Youzhe. No matter how much Gu Yuena tried to be calm, still the anxiety in her eyes was visible to Bai Youzhe.

Gu Yuena shook her head slowly. "It's nothing." He wants to find another topic. "Are you really going tonight?"

Bai Youzhe nodded weakly. "If you ask that I stay here for some time, I will obey."

"no need. Finish it, then come back early." Originally Gu Yuena did not want Bai Youzhe to leave, but she could not ignore the important matter just because of personal interests.

"If I could come along, it would be better." Gu Yuena suddenly thought of coming along. "But it can't be done, can it?"

Bai Youzhe was silent for a while. Actually, he could have taken Gu Yuena with him. But it's too dangerous. The strength of the underworld could not be calculated with the strength of the Mitian Plains.

"I'll be back soon." Bai Youzhe did not know why she could feel so anxious. He approached Gu Yuena, then hugged her tightly while saying, "After solving the problem, I'll just go see you."

Gu Yuena slightly nodded. His mind kept being disturbed. Had Gu Yueli not said that, he would not have been this golden. Though Gu Yuena was already planning to go to Linghun Palace to complete her task.

Regarding his own condition, it seemed like he still had to do a re-examination for the details. He hoped Gu Yueli's words were mere conjecture.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Under the moonlight that shone on the dark sky, Bai Youzhe in the palace courtyard left on Gu Yuena. Bai Youzhe's departure was actually nothing new, she used to leave and appear all of a sudden so it didn't quite shock the entire palace.

Well, although the frequency of his departure this time will be longer than before. That was why, he was very reluctant to part with Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena herself was still in a mess since earlier. He did not look excited or anything like that, looking more reserved with those raging thoughts.

"Are you sick?" Bai Youzhe was astonished by Gu Yuena's sudden change in attitude. Yesterday the woman still looks fierce, but now it becomes quiet and dreamy. His face was pale too.

Gu Yuena shook her head in response. He smiled, showing that he was okay. He can't talk about the problem now.

Can't be now.

"I'm fine, there's no need to worry. Just a little annoyed at having just had an argument with Gu Yueli and Jin Xiao."

"Do I need to throw them out?"

"No need, I can handle it myself. After all, they had no evil intentions. I've also convinced Gu Yueli to leave. He's leaving tomorrow."

"In the future, you can tell Chu Xin if anything bothers you. I left it here to help you."

Gu Yuena slightly nodded, then looked at Bai Youzhe strangely. "You didn't mean to make him a spy, did you?"

Bai Youzhe smiled wryly. "I'm not gonna do it to you. At the very least, make sure you stay safe as long as I'm not around."

"That's right." Gu Yuena smiled widely, then turned Bai Youzhe's body back out there. "Don't waste your time, get it over with and come back sooner. I'll wait."

Bai Youzhe turned her head towards Gu Yuena. "After I'm done, I'll look for you."

"It looks like you've guessed that I'm going to play outside." Gu Yuena chuckled.

Bai Youzhe turned towards Gu Yuena, stepped towards her, then hugged her warmly and gave a kiss on the woman's forehead.

"I love you."

Gu Yuena did not reply or say anything. Until finally Bai Youzhe took off a hug, then disappeared just like that into the air as if she was a star that flashed across the darkness of the sky.

Gu Yuena's gaze was blank for a moment. He smiled slightly, then muttered, "I love you too."

Remaining Chu Xin who was standing not far from Gu Yuena was. The woman approached Gu Yuena with a bright smile, preparing to serve her again like she used to.

"Miss." Chu Xin thought that Gu Yuena would most likely not be silent in Tianshuang Palace. That woman will surely travel. He would be very happy to accompany.

"Tomorrow to accompany me to Tianlong City." Gu Yuena was planning to straighten things out. He wanted to prove that Gu Yueli was wrong. She is unlikely to get pregnant and does not need to abort her.

Chu Xin nodded enthusiastically.

"Yoo, something's been left out. Ah, now that you have no supporters in the palace, it is indeed better to leave before being cornered by the annoying elders. After all, your whereabouts are not that important." Jin Xiao appeared while saying the words of the circus that made Chu Xin extremely angry.

Chu Xin looked at the woman with a sharp gaze. When he was about to retaliate, Gu Yuena stopped him.

"Only one who doesn't know who needs whom doesn't need to be served." Gu Yuena's insinuation was very aptly aimed at Jin Xiao. The woman left while Jin Xiao showed an indifferent face.

Actually, Jin Xiao did not really hate Gu Yuena that much. He only considered Gu Yuena a rival. They both respect each other's position.

So the innuendos thrown by both will certainly not cause much trouble. Their relationship is limited to mocking each other if only the two. If in front of people, of course they will be formal and 'friendly'.

When he re-entered the palace, the previously hidden Ming Chin now appeared towards Gu Yuena. There was no support aimed directly at Gu Yuena. He can act in any way.

Gu Yuena could act very boldly as there was Bai Youzhe supporting her. Now Bai Youzhe left for a long time. That woman is an easy target.

"Gu Yuena, are you so shameless about staying here while His Majesty is away? Don't think that you are His Majesty's fiancee, then you can just as casually stay in the palace. To the elders, you are none other than a hostage from Linghun Palace." Ming Chin clasped his chest and pulled his brows, looking sinister and haughty. "At least, if it wants to stay, then it must obey the rules and respect me as the princess of Tianshuang Palace."

Gu Yuena scratched her ear, then glanced at Chu Xin who seemed to be about to explode. "Did you hear something?"

Chu Xin looked at Gu Yuena, understanding something. "Yes, like the sound of a fly going berserk, very noisy."

"Huh, just make me dizzy. It must be a dirty palace. Later you ask the waiter to clean the palace so that no other flies come."

"Good, Miss." Chu Xin chuckled, then continued walking along with Gu Yuena ignoring Ming Chin who currently had a dead red face.

How dare they call it a dirty fly!

Jin Xiao who saw not far from them was only able to look with a flat face. "Is there anyone so stupid?"

Clearly Gu Yuena was superior, but the shameless woman was even bragging. Princess of Tianshuang Palace? He had just heard there was a fool who called himself a princess even though he did not have the blood of the previous king directly.

Jin Xiao was truly the Princess of Luye Palace, even the successor of Luye Palace the feeling was not up to that. Although it was difficult to admit it, at least she and Gu Yuena had an equal position as a princess.
