Dance Of The Phoenix
60. Princes

In a black robe as well as simple knight clothes, Gu Yuena stepped down the densely packed streets towards the imperial palace. Buildings that look similar in their path, with horses passing by and some pets carrying their masters running.

Every time he walked alone in the middle of the city filled with ordinary people with various activities, Gu Yuena sometimes thought, it would be great if he was just a commoner without privileges.

They may see that being noble is very fun and fulfilling, but it is wrong. Humans are never satisfied.

But fortunately, Gu Yuena was just happy to face this complicated day. He values his life. Although sometimes he had to go through a period of downturn and deep sadness, and blame a sad destiny.

"Xiao Hey, how does it feel to be an ordinary person?" Gu Yuena asked Xiao Hei in the spiritual room.

Xiao Hei appeared after a long time, sitting on Gu Yuena's shoulder. "Try it, see if it's really good for you or not. At least, you should forget about all your problems first, act like nothing happened."

"I thought it would be hard to do." Gu Yuena was not the type of person who forgot about trouble so easily. He can forget unimportant people, but can't forget problems.

"Then I tell you something. I smell Gu Yuan's scent around here. It seems like it's in the suburban knight training."

"Very accurate."

All right, back in serious mode. Gu Yuena went straight to the edge of the city, more precisely the place where the imperial knights were training. I don't know what her sister did there.

Up at the border surrounded by city walls, there was a place that was quite spacious and connected with state forestry. Gu Yuena entered the territory quietly following the direction that Xiao Hei was aiming at based on Gu Yuan's scent.

Arriving at the training ground of the knights in the form of military tents, Gu Yuan was seen entering a tent.

"Sister." Gu Yuena was about to give chase, but her steps came to a halt when she heard the swift footsteps of the horse.

He hid behind the building, seeing his brother coming out of the tent to the horseman.

Gu Yuan looked different both from the way he dressed and the aura. He looked more like a Wyvernia Prince than a noble from the Yi Empire. With the Prince of Wyvernia clothes he was wearing, accompanied by a powerful noble aura, Gu Yuena barely recognized him as Gu Yuan.

One thing that made Gu Yuena even more surprised, a blond man riding a horse just now turned out to be the Crown Prince of Wyvernia, Alfonso.

Very quickly the man came here from the Baron Hills residence. It seemed like he left once the tragedy happened, just like Gu Yuena.

They both seem to be talking. Gu Yuena tried to find the right position to eavesdrop on, but Gu Yuan instead made a voice shield that stopped Gu Yuena from eavesdropping. They also look very serious. This was his first time seeing a cold-faced Gu Yuan as his red irises stared at Alfonso.

"What the fuck?" Gu Yuena clucked bitterly. Is he just coming out now?

But if it came out now, it would definitely make an unnecessary fuss. He was supposed to meet Gu Yuan secretly.

"Who's there?" A knight unexpectedly saw Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena turned towards him, but accidentally her arm was scratched by the iron fingers stuck to the barrier behind until her snow-white skin had a rushing red stain.

What mischief is this!

Since the knight unsheathed the sword and was about to capture Gu Yuena, Gu Yuena ran the other way just like that. The commotion caused by Gu Yuena naturally made the two princes react.

"Catch intruder!" Alfonso was very surprised that there was an intruder nearby. It was fortunate that their conversation was sealed, or all the secrets would be revealed right then and there.

Whereas Gu Yuan who had previously only stayed where he went straight away. I don't know where he walked, it made Alfonso very upset to feel ignored.

Gu Yuena ran and sneaked in small places to hide herself. There were very many sword-wielding knights, whereas he should not appear at this time.

He had to leave immediately and meet Gu Yuan next time. Most importantly, he already knew Gu Yuan's position.

As he was about to continue his escape out of the knight area, a hand pulled him so tightly that he inevitably dragged in the other direction and hid somewhere.

Gu Yuena fell into his arms for a while, whereas they were in a fairly narrow place. Xiao Hei had already returned to the spiritual room since being discovered so there were only the two of them.

Gu Yuena could hear the heartbeat of this person up close. The man holding her still wrapped around her arm.

It feels uncomfortable.

Feeling like to see who the man was pulling her carelessly, Gu Yuena looked up. His pair of red irises met a jet black iris that he recognized. It was Yang Xinyuan.

What the hell is he doing here?

"You ...."

"Sh." Yang Xinyuan placed her index finger on Gu Yuena's lips, then looked outwards where the knights had already gone the other way.

Once believed to be safe, he took off his grip and pulled his index finger. The situation turned awkward.

"Why are you here?" Gu Yuena broke that awkwardness with a question. It was just strange, shouldn't Yang Xinyuan be in Yuansu Academy?

"There are some things to be done." Yang Xinyuan answered as she was.

"So it's not just me who has business here. So many coincidences." Gu Yuena muttered softly, but could still be heard by Yang Xinyuan who was still very close to him.

Upon realizing that their position was too close, Gu Yuena hurriedly came out of hiding and took a sigh of relief. That was stuffy. He found it hard to breathe.

Yang Xinyuan came out. He looked at Gu Yuena seriously. "So he almost got caught. You shouldn't be here."

"I went to see my brother, but who would have thought it was found out." Gu Yuena realized that she was careless. Next time, he will be more careful and make himself transparent before eavesdropping.

"Wouldn't he be in Yinyang Academy?" Yang Xinyuan seemed to know nothing.

Just tell me or not?

"The problem is complicated." Gu Yuena still refused to say it.

"We're out of here." Yang Xinyuan pulled Gu Yuena's arm once more to follow her through the safe passage.

It could be seen, Yang Xinyuan was so familiar with Wyvernia that she found a rat path for them to escape from the sight of knights.

Arriving at the city, Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief. But he was still nervous about his brother.

"No need to worry, Gu Yuan is not a weak man."

Gu Yuena looked at the jet-black iris, and nodded briefly. "It's very hard to see him."

"It seems he took his identity as a prince. You know that already?"

"You know what?"

"Think it." Yang Xinyuan pointed towards Gu Yuena's blood red irises.

"So you knew from the beginning."

Gu Yuena did not mind it anymore. Indeed not many knew, but if Yan Shuiyin alone knew, then Yang Xinyuan would definitely know. He doesn't have to ask much.

Yang Xinyuan's jet-black iris saw a lot of blood flowing from Gu Yuena's elbow. He was astonished to see Gu Yuena who seemed to be unaware of it at all. Is it so not felt?

Without saying anything, Yang Xinyuan took Gu Yuena somewhere. Gu Yuena chose not to ask much.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The horse ran so fast in the middle of the city, carrying Gu Yuan on its back who had an anxious look. He was worried about Gu Yuena's whereabouts.

Earlier, Alfonso said that he met the girl with red slices and looked similar to her at the Baron Hills residence. Who else would the blood red sliced girl in this world be if not Gu Yuena? Even the Empress and the princesses did not have such a feature.

The blood red iris was only possessed by pure descendants and had the right as a candidate for the heir to the throne. Although there is already a Crown Prince, that position can still falter whenever the heir to the throne candidate shows his influence.

He arrived at the Baron Hills residence. But seeing the gloomy and grave atmosphere that occurred, he grew more anxious, afraid of something happening to his sister.

The Baron Hills residence looked very gloomy, different from usual. But Gu Yuan still barged in without a second thought. The guards standing guard in front could not stop when they saw who they were facing. They could only remain silent, holding back cries and fidgeting.

"Prince, come so suddenly, can I help you?" Baron Hills came to the cold-faced Gu Yuan cautiously. Next to him was also his wife who looked extremely agitated and broke out in cold sweat.

"Where is he?" Gu Yuan was straight to the point. Her tone of voice was so cold that they were both extremely scared.

"Him?"

"Gu Yuena."

The Baron and Baroness exchanged glances. The Baroness said, "Previously Young Madam Ye said that Fourth Miss Gu had left with her friend, Miss Qin."

"Prince, the Hills residence is currently in deep trouble. Sorry I couldn't welcome you properly." Baron Hills continued.

"Where is he?" Gu Yuan kept asking for Gu Yuena's whereabouts.

"We .. don't know."

Actually they were astonished, what was the relationship of Prince James with Gu Yuena. The Baroness Hills watched the prince carefully. The Prince's face with Miss Gu looked very similar. He realized that there was something hidden behind the girl's identity. It seems he understands something.

Gu Yuan did not say anything more. He returned to his horse, then rode on the horse's back and pulled the reins.

At the same time, Gu Yueli walked out of the residence looking at Gu Yuan who was about to leave in surprise.

"First Brother?" Gu Yueli unintentionally called out to him.

This made Gu Yuan's gaze directed at the two-bodied girl. Damn, why did that woman have to call him so familiarly!

The pair of barons and baronesses looked surprised and saw Gu Yueli and Gu Yuan alternating. Now what is their relationship?

"You're wrong." Gu Yuan immediately left after throwing a cold gaze at Gu Yueli. He did not know that the Ye Clan was here until he had to meet Gu Yueli.

His horse immediately turned around and ran quickly. His distant figure left questions for many. Especially the confused Gu Yueli was half dead.

Clearly it was the first brother, how could not recognize him?

Is it too fat to be unrecognizable?

"Oh!" Gu Yueli clucked violently and returned inside the residence. Lost already his desire to calm down the outside after being in a stuffy environment.

While Gu Yuan was still confused looking for his sister. He was afraid that Gu Yuena was recognized by those nobles and was in deep trouble.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Aww!"

Gu Yuena was complaining of pain when Yang Xinyuan mixed the medicine on her arm that had an iron scratch wound. If left unchecked, you will get tetanus.

Currently they were in a park after purchasing medical supplies at a drugstore. Gu Yuena had not been allowed to go anywhere.

"I'm not a healer, so I can only treat this way." Yang Xinyuan rolled up Gu Yuena's wound using the white cloth she bought from the store.

Gu Yuena only looked at her wound covered with a cloth. It will definitely leave a scar due to a deep enough wound. Very inconvenient.

Yang Xinyuan slightly smiled looking at the pouting Gu Yuena. He raised his hand, grabbed Gu Yuena's messy strands of hair covering her face. But that only made Gu Yuena startled and retreat.

"Sorry." Yang Xinyuan proceeded to get rid of the strands of hair that covered Gu Yuena's face.

Gu Yuena blinked her eyes twice, then cleared her throat. I don't know why it feels so awkward.

"What do you think my brother talked about with Prince Alfonso?" ask Gu Yuena. Well, even if I don't expect to be answered.

"Maybe .. the thing that Prince Alfonso discovered to suppress Gu Yuan."

Gu Yuena was silent thinking about it. What is a soul stone? But, it should have nothing to do with Gu Yuan, let alone be secretive.

Something that could make Gu Yuan seal their voices. What makes it like that?

"Did you meet Prince Alfonso before?"

Gu Yuena nodded doubtfully. "Maybe he will think that I am a long-lost member of the royal family or that his whereabouts are unknown. He didn't say anything to me either. What do you think, he told my brother?"

"There's nothing Gu Yuan can worry about but you. Just like you."

As expected for a Yang Xinyuan, he was very easy to guess and take into account many things. "If you become my enemy, it will be very troublesome."

"Not going to."

Huh, even Gu Yuena was ready to become Luo Youzhe's difficult-to-handle enemy. Why does he always meet smart but dangerous men?

Well, all this time only Huang Jingtian, Mu Xinhuan, and her brother were harmless.

Yang Xinyuan looked at the scorching sky, then said, "It's noon. Are you hungry?"

Gu Yuena smiled widely and stood up just like that. "Come, I'm taking you out to eat fried chicken. I'll buy it!"

Yang Xinyuan just resigned her hand pulled Gu Yuena into the city. They went to eat in a shop, and bought Gu Yuena's favorite fried chicken.

Gu Yuena did not know, her brother whom she had been thinking about was in the middle of the night looking for her throughout the Capital City. He ate fried chicken with a man.

Can you say ... dating?

But unfortunately, Gu Yuena thought of it as an ordinary lunch. Because his goal to this place was for a mission he made himself, not a walk.

During that entire day, Gu Yuena toured the city with Yang Xinyuan.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

A group of butterflies scattered in the air and fused together, forming a girl in a pink dress. She still wears a Wyvernia dress, so it looks striking among people dressed in an eastern style.

"Youzhe, I've made sure, the Ye Clan has his soul stone." He was Su Churan who had just been from Wyvernia. Before actually leaving, he had examined the soul stone in the secret room. Unfortunately, his strength did not support to touch him.

A pair of blue irises that night looked towards Su Churan. His gaze was as cold as ever, even under the blazing sun a forest so lush of trees.

"I thought so." He had been searching for the third soul stone after a long time. Finally, he found it.

"But ... Gu Yuena took it." Su Churan said doubtfully. He could only apologize to Gu Yuena inwardly because he indeed had to say it. That soul stone was too dangerous if it was in Gu Yuena's hands.

Bai Youzhe's face darkened instantly. It would be hard to ask for it, especially if Gu Yuena knew what it was.

But he won't run out of plans.

"Gu Yuan is also in Wyvernia, right? We can go to Wyvernia now."

Chapter 61 excerpts

"You can tell my identity, why can't I know your identity? I had my doubts, but you've admitted it." Her red iris is sharpening. "You should have killed me in the first place."

"You don't need an explanation for that." Bai Youzhe refused to explain.

Roughly what was going to happen in Wyvernia and what was Bai Youzhe planning until Gu Yuena was that angry?

Awaiting its continuation tomorrow~
