Dance Of The Phoenix
16. Reaping the Results You Plant

Ting Le was shocked when a huge fire devoured the entire vines he had made to kill Gu Yuena. His hands were so hot that the flames were so intense that he was forced to let go of the strangulation and let the girl stand on her own.

Instead of falling, Gu Yuena remained standing with magic as red as blood and flames surrounding her. Between his eyebrows appeared a phoenix symbol as red as blood, raising flames around and forming flaming wings on the girl's back.

That fiery figure was so shocking to Ting Le. The appearance of the phoenix flames caused a tremendous pressure that threw Ting Le into a wall violently. He fell down, feeling his chest hurt from the attack.

But the pain was not as great as his surprise. He looked back at Gu Yuena with widened eyes. Just by looking at the symbol stamped between Gu Yuena's brows, he already knew what it meant.

"Blood phoenix .. is impossible ...." Ting Le did not want to admit it. The phoenix blood should have been owned by Gu Yueli. He had obeyed all the will of Linghun Palace and killed Li Hua. It was impossible for the one who got it to be Gu Yuena! There must be some mistake!

After a while, the symbol disappeared attracting all the blazing flames as well as flapping wings. Gu Yuena nodded. He opened his eyes and felt very weak, as well as relieved.

He feels relief and can breathe smoothly again. Only, his body became extremely limp. He also fell down barely able to support the body. He raised one of his hands, then looked at his palm which gave rise to a faint red glint.

"I'm leveling up?" Gu Yuena did not know how to feel. He was too weak to think properly. His body was numb and had been crushed due to the entanglement of the vine plant.

Brakkk

The door opened suddenly, revealing a dark-faced Gu Shan and Gu Yuan, followed by a worried Chu Xin. As soon as he saw Gu Yuena who was sitting limp and was about to collapse, he immediately hurriedly helped his nona.

"Miss, are you okay? Is anyone hurt?" Chu Xin was extremely anxious. He looked around his nona body, then saw a blue-tinged strangulation mark on Gu Yuena's neck. He looked at Gu Yuan and Gu Shan pleading. "Mr Duke, Young Master Yuan, Miss's body condition is very weak and has just had an accident, Grand Madam deliberately made a fuss and injured Fourth Miss. Please justice for Miss!"

Gu Shan's face flushed red in anger. While Gu Yuan did not say much anymore. He immediately went towards Ting Le with a sword in his hand that was unsheathed.

Quickly Gu Shan fended off his sword, then restrained Gu Yuan's shoulders from acting rashly to kill the scared Ting Le half-dead. Ting Le couldn't possibly say anything that happened here, as it was extremely detrimental to him.

"This matter, let me handle it. You take your sister out and call the doctor." Gu Shan did not want any bloodshed in his house. Gu Yuan's strength was clearly higher than Ting Le who was only level 4. Ting Le would die with just his slash.

"If I get to see him again here, I don't promise not to kill him," Gu Yuan said coldly.

Gu Yuan kept his sword back. He looked at Ting Le coldly, then turned to approach Gu Yuena. Chu Xin was still with Gu Yuena, helping her not to fall.

While Gu Yuena was just silent, not caring about the circumstances around. He only cared about the book he had just snatched from Ting Le. He had secretly hidden it within the open spiritual space ever since leveling up.

As soon as it came, Gu Yuan instantly raised his sister who was like she was about to faint. He hurriedly led Gu Yuena out of the room, while Chu Xin received an order calling the doctor and left quickly.

Gu Yuan placed Gu Yuena on the bed. Gu Yuena's pale face showed that he was not okay. It made Gu Yuan very worried. Ting Le it .. he won't forgive her.

"Nr ...."

Gu Yuena's voice broke Gu Yuan's daydream. The man immediately looked at his sister anxiously. "Is anyone sick?"

Gu Yuena shook her head. Just crumpled a little, he was used to it and not too sick for him. It will also heal. What he was worried about was the fact about the phoenix blood. If true as the book says, he would not be able to live more than 20 years. Although she was not afraid, she was worried about her brother.

Gu Yuena suddenly remembered something. "Before Mom died, did she tell you anything?" The phoenix blood should have been around since his birth, whereas he had been cultivating for a long time and was hampered because of Ting Le. His mother must have known a lot before his death.

"Why did you suddenly ask?" Gu Yuan wondered.

"I'm just curious," replied Gu Yuena. "Who knows, our mother has a will."

Gu Yuan was silent for a while, seemingly thinking. He looked at Gu Yuena, then smiled. "You don't have to think about it. If anything, it would definitely be a message for me to protect you well. Sorry, I'm a little late."

"What's wrong. I am Gu Yuena, I will not stand idly by if oppressed. It's just .. I felt like I couldn't fight Madam just now. You see this?" Gu Yuena showed a stranglehold on her neck. He intends to indulge with his brother, as much as possible to cover up his chaotic feelings.

"Ting Le this time has indeed passed. Father continued to protect her until she dared to do things she shouldn't do. I'll make sure he doesn't reappear at this residence." Gu Yuan promised. He would never let her hurt his sister again.

Gu Yuena smiled and was about to hug her brother, yet she felt her body ache when moving so that it could only keep quiet. It's troublesome. Gu Yuan who saw him only chuckled.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Far to the north of the end of the world, past the magic barrier, there is another dimension where a palace stands firmly with its tower that emits bright red rays. The tower seemed to be the center of a small world filled with a powerful magic aura.

A small world that is different from the real world. It consists of a palace and several areas surrounded by parts of the palace and adjoined by a connecting bridge. At the center of the tower, the red light that had previously shone, now exploded and created the collapse of the dimensional barrier.

The phenomenon of the opening of a small world that was once alienated made a lot of unrest. The monsters roared and clashed against each other between the flaming magic circles.

Just below the exploding red light, a female figure stood between the mirror pool channeled by the red light. The mirror pool that manifested many events in the world was before his eyes, including the phoenix blood phenomenon that rose after a long wait.

A misty black figure with red eyes appeared behind him. The figure knelt down, then gave a report. "It's all going according to plan, Your Majesty."

The woman showed a thin smile that looked beautiful. "Go away, and don't come back."

"Okay, Your Majesty." The creature disappeared in a shrinking fog.

The woman was wearing a stick in her hand. A beautiful golden stick and full of glittering crystals, looked extremely luxurious. The crystal emitted a dense blood red radiance towards the mirror pool, changing the image of the mirror pool to a place that looked majestic and luxurious.

"You've come." The woman slightly looked back realizing someone was approaching.

The man was wearing a black robe that covered his face. From his stature, it was very clear that he was a man. The man kneels half a foot while looking down and puts one of his hands to the chest.

He also greeted the woman. "Teacher."

The beautiful woman smiled gently. "Remember not to divulge your identity. During my observation, you only need to approach Yuansu Palace. Go to Yuansu Academy, then do your job."

"Good, Teacher."

"One more thing, take care of him for me." His smile decreased slightly when he again saw the luxurious palace scene before him.

"Murid will not disappoint Master."

The man left so quickly, leaving his teacher alone under the red light that displayed the phoenix symbol. The woman's gaze seemed dim, her expression filled with gloom before finally the red light from her wand disappeared.

His head turned towards a large statue in the middle of the room. The stone statue was as if it was a monument full of dignity and majesty. It was a man, in a harness that showed how strong he was in the past.

The woman's gaze was filled with sadness when she saw him. He spoke, as if speaking to the figure behind the statue. "I hope I did the right thing, teacher .. and my husband."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

For a lifetime, the most terrifying thing for a Gu Yuena was the bones healed by healers. He felt his bones move on their own and was in pain as cracks continued to sound. It was like a nightmare, moreover, he also felt itchy in his bones until he was tormented for a full day.

Thank goodness it didn't last long. He just needs a little rest in a few days.

But it wasn't Gu Yuena's name if there was no rush. Even though he really wants to fall down and laze all the time while sleeping, he should not be careless of his own strength.

Just imagine. He has phoenix blood, which means his life is only a few years old until he is 20. During that time, he actually wants to continue his life calmly without worries, continue to sleep and idle while eating snacks and enjoying life rich and spoiled by his brother. That's dream.

But given the mysterious creature's attack back then, Gu Yuena felt that she could not laze around at all times. He started thinking about becoming stronger quickly at his current age. Since he was 17 years old, the rest to survive was only 3.

In that time, it was impossible for him to achieve a power that could defeat that being with normal cultivation. Therefore, he had already decided what he wanted to become in the future with the phoenix blood.

He will continue to research Linghun Palace. As the possessor of phoenix blood, he would train as a magician!

Well, even though magicians were a forbidden and cursed profession, Gu Yuena did not care. After all, in the end he will die young too if he chooses another profession. Just look for the most powerful and simple. He has a photographic memory, it will not be difficult to learn the magic circle. Compared to other professions that take a long time to become strong, it is better to become an instant magician.

Although in the end there is nothing instant in this world, and having to accept many risks such as being ostracized and having to hide, it is an interesting challenge for him. Like his current condition, hiding and pretending to be weak to be strong. The world will rise if it continues to follow the wishes of the world.

"Xiao Hei~" Gu Yuena called the invisible Xiao Hei lately. Ever since he had Xiao Hei learn on his own, he had not found the cat. Is it true that Xiao Hei can learn by himself? Where did the cat learn?

Never mind, the most important thing now is to start training. But before that ....

"Chu Xin!" Gu Yuena called her personal servant to come face to face. He should interrogate this girl.

Chu Xin came in a hurry and greeted Gu Yuena. Seeing that the girl had come, Gu Yuena looked at her suspiciously.

Ever since coming to his senses, he wondered how Chu Xin could tell that he was in danger to the point of recklessly bringing Gu Shan and Gu Yuan to his place.

"I don't care who told you to come by my side, but whatever you heard yesterday, don't get heard by your master." He still thought that Chu Xin was a spy. He could not trust anyone but his brother.

"I don't understand what Miss means." Chu Xin was confused.

"The bottom line is, whatever you hear, don't get out of your mouth" Gu Yuena explained.

"Miss doesn't believe in Chu Xin?"

"It's not like that. The thing is, you're too suspicious. Obviously I was just telling you to stand guard outside, but suddenly you came with my father and brother. What the hell are you hearing?"

Chu Xin was surprised. He thought for a moment, then explained, "At that moment, I felt a fluctuation of energy in the room. Miss can't cultivate, there's no way Miss gives off such a powerful murderous aura. So, I thought that it was Madam. That's why I hastily summoned Family Head and Young Master Yuan. Sorry to make Miss misunderstand."

Gu Yuena was silent for a while. It seems like he's going to cry for a little girl. But the problem is, he's having a crisis of confidence. Sorry if I can't trust anyone.

"Thank you for explaining. Whatever your reasons, don't spread it out. You know the consequences."

Chu Xin was shocked when she heard Gu Yuena's last sentence. It is usually very sensitive to the slightest amount of energy expended. The moment Gu Yuena ended her sentence seriously, she could feel a strange aura that made her hold her breath.

This aura ....

Chu Xin regained her senses and hurriedly bowed obediently. "Chu Xin won't disappoint Miss."

Gu Yuena nodded slowly. "Get out, I want to sleep." More like to exercise. He was grateful that the medicine Jiang Weiwei had given him had such a long etch that his strength was undetectable.

Chu Xin came out and closed the door. After no longer feeling Chu Xin's presence around the room, Gu Yuena directly retrieved the ledger from the spiritual room.

Previously there were some magic circles that he did not see clearly because he focused on writing for the sake of reading quickly. He saw some magic circles once again. On several pages of the book, there was an explanation of the magic circle fusing with phoenix blood

The magic circle is formed from the compaction of qi that has formed elements. Gu Yuena's element was fire, so to condense the magic circle required greater fire control.

When he managed to control the flames in full, it meant that he managed to break through the second star of the fourth level of element resonance. The level four resonance element is divided into five stars; formation, control, element form, and magic success. If it had already filled those five stars, it could absorb magic essence to break through to the fifth level.

Gu Yuena concentrated the collected qi, then created a small flame in one of her hands. The fire floated like small balls of fire without any heat. In order to control the fire formed, it takes the power of the mind to move it and take full control of the spiritual power.

Gu Yuena created a fire in her other hand, then fused the small fireballs from her two hands together to a single point. He focused his mind on controlling the fireballs. The fireballs moved in a staggered manner and the macat.

Gu Yuena increasingly focused herself so that her movements would not falter. It takes quite a long time to smooth the movement of the fireball in order to move unimpeded. When the fireball began to rotate smoothly and quickly, the small balls became one and formed a single fireball as big as a palm.

That palm-sized fireball showed that Gu Yuena's control was getting better. But next, the fireball suffered a shock. Gu Yuena tried to calm him down, but the unrelenting shock moved and caused the fireball to explode like fireworks.

He failed the first attempt.

Things like that keep repeating. Gu Yuena occasionally collected qi into the body in order not to run out and went back to repeating her training throughout the night.

Gu Yuena's room was filled with sparks right then and there.

Until finally the sun rose, Gu Yuena still could not sleep in a room full of fireworks. After several experiments, he finally managed to form a single, intact fireball and did not explode.

The palm-sized fireball was as if it was a precious item in Gu Yuena's eyes until she was moved and continued to defend it carefully. Gu Yuena collapsed onto the bed right then and there.

The door opened, revealing Chu Xin who was bewildered by the chaos of the completely chaotic room. I don't know what he did all night.

"Miss ...." Chu Xin was extremely shocked when she saw the blackened eye bags in her nona eyes, looking like a panda.

Gu Yuena had already pulled all those fireworks into her body, but the chaos from the effects of the fireworks explosion left her room in disarray. That was what Chu Xin saw.

Chu Xin directly walked over to the sprawled Gu Yuena and hugged the pillow tiredly. "Miss, the Luo Clan will be leaving today. Don't you want to see them go?"

Gu Yuena tilted her position while tightly hugging the pillow. His eyes closed and began to close. He said lazily, "Send my greetings to them, sorry for not being able to drive because of yesterday's accident and thank you for your help."

Chu Xin nodded. "Good, Miss."

Due to the messy room, Chu Xin took the initiative to clean it up quickly. He was very good when cleaning the room. Not for an hour, he came out of the room, while Gu Yuena had fallen asleep.

When Chu Xin closed the room and turned around about to prepare breakfast and the others, her footsteps came to a halt seeing Gu Yueli rush through the courtyard with wide strides.

It must be because of Ting Le's problem.
