The atmosphere within the room was a little strange. Lin Hao Yu had already prepared a whole stomachful of words that he wanted to say to Gu Ying but when he saw Gu Ying’s brilliant smile and Gu Xin Yan’s pale face, those words seemed to become stuck within his throat.
With a devil like this one, can you really trust him?
A huge struggle then rose within Lin Hao Yu’s heart.
It was silent within the room and Lin Hao Yu stood stiffly frozen within the room, not daring to even sit. Gu Xin Yan had merely raised her eyes up briefly to glance at him and then lowered it back down, not knowing what she was doing. Only Gu Ying’s smile remained the same, like he had not noticed anything at all.
“Lin Hao Yu.” Gu Ying said suddenly as he looked at the highly stiff Lin Hao Yu. Lin Hao Yu jumped and quickly turned to look at Gu Ying.
“Big Brother Gu Ying.” Lin Hao Yu’s voice was even trembling a little.
“I remember that I told you before that if you gaze at my sister with eyes like that again, I will dig your eyes out. Don’t you remember?” Gu Ying said with a highly languid voice, his chin propped up with one hand, as he spat out those chilling words.

Chapter 1603: “The Devil Descends (2)”
His voice was almost laughing with the corners of his mouth lifted up, but there was completely no mirth in his pair of eyes but just a kind of chilling bloodthirstiness.
“No….. No….. I remember.” Lin Hao Yu said with his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Xin Yan’s brows creased up together but could not say anything.
Gu Ying suddenly laughed when he saw that the colour had faded from Lin Hao Yu’s face completely as he said: “Don’t be so nervous, I am just kidding with you. You are Elder Lin’s grandson so why would I harm you? See how ugly a shade your face had become. Have a seat.”
Lin Hao Yu smiled stiffly rather awkwardly, his heart not relieved in the slightest by Gu Ying’s words, because he knew very clearly that Gu Ying had not been joking earlier.
“Thank you Big Brother Gu Ying.” Lin Hao Yu sat down on a chair at the side, his heart feeling like a battle between the mortals and the gods had erupted within it.
Facing Gu Ying, would he be able to carry out all that he had planned to do?
Before he came, Lin Hao Yu had already thought it through. Although Gu Ying had a weird personality, he was nevertheless still the Blood Fiend Palace Lord’s son. Now that the Blood Fiend Palace was in such dire straits within the Cloudy Brook Academy, Gu Ying as a member of the Blood Fiend Palace would not just sit back and watch, to not do anything about it. Maybe….. Lin Hao Yu just might be able to use Gu Ying’s presence here to turn around the situation the Blood Fiend Palace was currently in.
But with Gu Ying in front of him, Lin Hao Yu’s heart did not dare to be that certain anymore.
Within that room, only Gu Ying had a smile on his face and the colour of Lin Hao Yu’s and Gu Xin Yan’s faces were looking rather ugly, both of them not saying a word.
This strange situation made it hard for people to believe that Gu Ying who sat before the two of them was actually from the same palace as them.
“How things at the Cloudy Brook Academy for the two of you?” Gu Ying seemed to have not noticed how nervous the two of them were as he opened his mouth to ask the two people calmly.
Gu Xin Yan did not react but Lin Hao Yu’s heart was startled. He was afraid of Gu Ying but over this period of time, he had lived a miserable existence with Qiao Chu hounding him everyday without rest, giving him absolutely no way out.
If he chose not to tell Gu Ying about it, then his days ahead in the Cloudy Brook Academy would surely not change for the better than what it was now.
After struggling with his heart for a while, Lin Hao Yu suddenly took a deep breath, preparing to open his mouth to speak. But just as he was about to speak up, he saw Gu Xin Yan staring at him with a kind of warning in her gaze.
In that pair of sparkling eyes, they were clearly filled with disapproval.
She was unwilling to let him say anything, especially when it was right in front of Gu Ying.
Lin Hao Yu was initially still a little hesitant, but when he saw the look in Gu Xin Yan’s eyes, he suddenly felt a rage surge and rise up from the bottom of his heart.
Things had already come to such a point and Gu Xin Yan was still thinking of protecting that little brat! ? The fear that Lin Hao Yu felt towards Gu Ying was immediately replaced by that fiery rage and he disregarded Gu Xin Yan and opened his mouth to say:
“Big Brother Gu Ying. Do you know that in this year’s Battle of Deities Grand Meet, a youth from the Spirit Mastery race appeared?”
Gu Ying’s eyebrow arched up.
“Spirit Mastery race? Never heard of it.”
Li Hao Yu then said: “That youth from the Spirit Mastery race possessed the Spirit Reinforcement ability, something that we have never seen, which imbues special abilities onto spirit bodies. That ability, had the Twelve Palaces scrambling madly to win him over but he rejected all the invitations from all the Twelve Palaces and joined the Spirit Jade Palace instead.”
“Spirit Jade Palace?” Gu Ying let out a light laugh. “Haven’t that bunch of locusts died out yet?”
Volume 17
Chapter 1604: “The Devil Descends (3)”
Lin Hao Yu secretly wiped at his cold sweat and bolstered up his courage as he related to Gu Ying all the unjust treatment they had all suffered in the Cloudy Brook Academy. And throughout the whole process, he inserted the figure Jun Wu into the narration from beginning to end, making it sound as if the dire straits that the Blood Fiend Palace was in had all been caused by Jun Wu. However, he did not say a single word about him setting Jun Wu up, and attempting to make Jun Wu submit to them.
The more Gu Xin Yan heard, the more she felt that things didn’t sound right. She wanted to open her mouth to speak a few times but Gu Ying gaze had terrified her into silence.
By the time Lin Hao Yu finished, Gu Ying’s face still had the same indiscernible smile, completely impossible to know whether he was delighted or angry.
“That kid from the Spirit Mastery race sounds like he is rather capable. With the strength of just one person alone, he was able to incite everyone from all the other palaces to go against all of you.” Gu Ying said with a smile on his lips, his eyes looking straight at Lin Hao Yu, causing the skin upon Lin Hao Yu’s back to crawl.
Lin Hao Yu gulped loudly and then said: “That’s right. Jun Wu looks like he would usually not utter a single word to anyone, but when he does, he is able to distort the truth so completely to convince people black is white.”
When Lin Hao Yu had heard the words Jun Wu, his eyes immediately lit up.
“Jun Wu? You said that the kid from the Spirit Mastery race is called Jun Wu?”
“Yes….. Yes, that’s right.” Lin Hao Yu gulped again as he said.
“Surnamed Jun as well…..” Gu Ying muttered as he stroked his chin, his eyes seemingly looking like he was thinking of something.
Lin Hao Yu did not dare to say anything needlessly at that moment.
“What kind of characteristics does that Jun Wu have?” Gu Ying then asked.
Lin Hao Yu then replied: “He doesn’t really have any exceptional characteristics but just has a rather skinny body and is short, his face always cold and expressionless. And one more thing, Jun Wu stays just opposite Xin Yan.”
In Gu Ying’s mind, the image of the youth he saw in the corridor suddenly rose up.
That youth was somewhat similar to a certain person in his memory and was also completely different at the same time.
That person in his memory, was similarly petite, but one size smaller than Jun Wu. And most importantly, that person’s powers was not as insignificant as Jun Wu whom Lin Hao Yu was telling him about. It could be said that Jun Wu was completely different from that person and the only similarity between the two was just the eyes.
Both just
as clear and cold, upon a highly unremarkable face, making the eyes even more beautiful in contrast.
And, the fact that both of them were surnamed “Jun”!
Was that just a coincidence or what? Gu Ying found it highly intriguing.
“Big Brother Gu Ying….. Our Blood Fiend Palace has really been tormented by Jun Wu to such a state. It’s really…..” Lin Hao Yu could not decipher what Gu Ying was thinking. He had already summoned up all his courage to say so much and if Gu Ying still did not react, he would really become rather anxious.
Gu Ying regained his senses and then said with a smile: “I came here this time, only to deliver the medicine for Xu Mu. Although I was once a disciple of this Cloudy Brook Academy, the academy does not seem to welcome me. I’m afraid that you will have to deal with this matter yourselves.”
Gu Ying’s words startled Lin Hao Yu a little. He could not believe that Gu Ying would one day comply with someone’s orders, following the rules diligently. All of these, were completely different from that Gu Ying he remember, the devil that viewed everything around him to be nothing but trash!
“Lin Hao Yu was highly disappointed, but he did not dare say much about it.
But Gu Xin Yan’s gaze was still secretly staring at the smiling Gu Ying.
Lin Hao Yu did not understand Gu Ying all that much, but Gu Xin Yan knew Gu Ying very well.
She knew just how much of Gu Ying’s words was to be believed.
Volume 17
Chapter 1605: “The Devil Descends (4)”
If there came a day that Gu Ying would really discard his own personal whims and fancies, then that would be the day that the lands under the Heavens would fall into turmoil.
The reason why Gu Ying had left the Cloudy Brook Academy was well known to Gu Xin Yan. If Gu Ying was a person who observed the rules and acted according to convention, then the tragedy would not have occured at that time. Even after so many years have passed, Gu Xin Yan still understood that Gu Ying was still the same Gu Ying, and that bloodthirstiness and that maniacal murderous streak in him had never changed at all.
“You said earlier that the one who wounded Xu Mu was Jun Wu’s teacher, Su Ya?” Gu Ying’s words suddenly turned its edge around.
Lin Hao Yu nodded. Gu Ying’s face then showed a highly chilling smile.
“It’s about time that I should bring the medicine to Xu Mu already.” Saying that, Gu Ying got up. Lin Hao Yu stared uncomprehendingly at Gu Ying while Gu Xin Yan sat there with a tinge of worry in her eyes.
Gu Ying’s earlier question had caused a strong sense of unease to rise up within her heart.
When Gu Ying came walking out from the room past the door, he was suddenly met with two teachers of the Cloudy Brook Academy who stood there with terse faces. When those two people saw Gu Ying come out, they immediately went forward in approach.
“Teacher Tian Ze has told us that if you are going anywhere, you will be accompanied by us and approval has to be seeked from him.”
Gu Ying gave a light laugh and said: “Teacher Tian Ze is being really anxious. I am going to deliver the medicine to Xu Mu now. Does he then agree to that?”
The two teachers exchanged a glance between themselves and then nodded their heads at Gu Ying.
The two people then moved to stand on both sides of Gu Ying, watching him carefully without taking their eyes off the youth for a moment.
Gu Ying was not discomfited by it in the slightest and his face was still filled with smiles as he went towards Xu Mu’s room under the watchful gazes of the two men. Along the way, the strange combination of the trio attracted the attention of quite a number of disciples and many of them turned their gazes upon them in curiosity.
Gu Ying seemed like he really did not intend to do anything else and arrived peacefully at Xu Mu’s room. Xu Mu was still in a semiconscious state as he lay upon his bed and there were a few teachers from the Medical faculty watching over him. Gu Ying went there and handed the Blood Fiend Palace’s medicine to the teachers as the two other teachers accompanying him watched sternly by the side, highly guarded.
“I have a request to make.” Gu Ying turned around and said to the two teachers.
“What is it?”
“I would like to meet the person who injured Xu Mu.” Gu Ying said with a smile.
The brows of the two accompanying teachers immediately arched up.
“The fact that the Cloudy Brook Academy does not interfere into the strife and conflicts between disciple is clear to me. But I had heard that the person who wounded Xu Mu into such a state had seemingly not been a disciple of the Cloudy Brook Academy, but was instead a teacher in here. Although teachers have the right to discipline disciples, but having a teacher from another faculty interfering into the discipline of a disciple and the fact that he had laid such a heavy hand seems to be a little hard to brush off just like this. Don’t you agree?” It was clear that Gu Ying knew the system of the Cloudy Brook Academy very well.
The two teachers were looking hesitant and finally, one remained behind in guard while the other one went to find Tian Ze to seek Tian Ze’s opinion, causing Tian Ze to immediately rush over personally.
His face was dark as he stared at the amiable looking and smiling Gu Ying.
“You want to see Su Ya?” Tian Ze asked, staring brusquely at Gu Ying.
Gu Ying then replied: “The Blood Fiend Palace had suffered such a blow to lose one of their most elite disciples and I think, as the next in line to become the Palace Lord, I have the right to meet with the person who wounded him. Or, could it be that Teacher Tian Ze is worried that I might do something untoward against Teacher Su Ya?”
Tian Ze did not know what to say to that.
[Gu Ying to do something “untoward” against Su Ya! ?]
[That must be the biggest joke he’s heard! Even he was not a match for Su Ya at all and with the kind of power Gu Ying holds, to want to find trouble with Su Ya, he had better reweigh himself.]
Volume 17
Chapter 1606: “The Devil Descends (5)”
“You can, but Su Ya has a bad temper and if you become offensive with your words and Su Ya comes to do anything to you, the academy would not raise a hand to interfere in anyway.” Tian Ze said coldly.
Gu Ying then smiled and said: “What is Teacher Tian Ze saying now. I am just merely thinking to see Teacher Su Ya and do not intend to do anything disrespectful. Why would Teacher Su Ya even bother to hold anything against a small junior like me?”
Gu Ying’s words were pleasing to the ear but Tian Ze still sneered in his heart.
[A kid like you dares to try being disrespectful to a Teacher?]
Tian Ze had wanted to give Gu Ying a thrashing from long ago but the rules of the academy had stopped him from doing so. But though the rules of the academy worked on him, they were no better than gas passed out from one’s behind!
Or else Xu Mu would not have been beaten up into such a bad state.
Harbouring the hope that Su Ya would teach Gu Ying a lesson, Tian Ze agreed to Gu Ying’s request, and he even personally brought Gu Ying to go to the Spirit Mastery faculty that Su Ya was at that very afternoon.
It was in the afternoon and Jun Wu Xie was making her way towards the Spirit Mastery faculty to carry out the afternoon’s portion of her cultivation training. Before she came to reach the Spirit Mastery faculty’s doors, she could already see Tian Ze leading Gu Ying to come in front of the place.
Jun Wu Xie’s footsteps halted slightly and then quickly reverted back to normal, her face calm and composed as she walked slowly over.
Tian Ze stood outside the doors and knocked for what seemed like half a day but did not get any kind of response from inside. He was feeling rather frustrated even he suddenly saw Jun Wu Xie slowly approaching and Tian Ze’s instinctively wanted to reveal a smile. But when his eyes saw Gu Ying at the side, he immediately restrained that smile before it was revealed.
“Jun Wu, is Su Ya inside?” Tian Ze asked, looking highl
y serious.
Jun Wu Xie acted like she had never seen Gu Ying before and her gaze merely swept over Tian Ze as she said expressionlessly: “Master had not left from the Spirit Mastery faculty.”
[That means she’s inside? Then why are you not opening the door! ! !]
Tian Ze was roaring inside his heart but his face was still a stern and stoic front.
Jun Wu Xie then seemed to see Tian Ze’s frustration as she took a step forward to knock on the door.
The same door that Tian Ze had knocked insistently for like half an hour quickly opened with just two light knocks from Jun Wu Xie. Behind the door was the ravishing and alluring Su Ya, whose face was tinged with a pink flush from drinking, her half narrowed eyes peering at the three people standing outside.
“Little brat, coming to disturb my rest again.” Su Ya acted like she had not seen Tian Ze and Gu Ying at all as she stretched out her long slender arm to pull Jun Wu Xie inside and then lifting a foot to kick the door close.
Tian Ze stretched his hand out to stop the door from closing and cold sweat ran within his heart but he forced a stoic expression to remain upon his face.
“What?” Su Ya said as she looked at Tian Ze, the expression on her face looking like “you’re asking for a beating?”.
Tian Ze quickly said: “This person is sent by the Blood Fiend Palace and he would like to talk about the incident that happened to Xu Mu with you.”
“And what kind of an onion is this Xu Mu?” Su Ya asked with her eyebrow arched up. (Translator note: “which bulb of an onion” usually used as a question to signify the aforementioned person was a nobody)
Tian Ze was caught speechless.
[Xu Mu is not an onion! He’s that most unlucky egg that had his spirit meridians completely severed by a thrashing from you!]
Even though his heart wanted to shout out, Tian Ze still pretended to be highly composed as he said: “That disciple from the Spirit Power faculty whom you taught a lesson to not too long ago.”
