16 Again, Here

Gu Qianqian hesitated for a little while, then took back her imposing power and return to her normal status. She said aloud, "If there's nothing else, it's the end of today's incident, I hope no one will mention it later."

"Thank your ladyship for your magnanimity. Every details of the truth can't escape the eyes of your ladyship." Liu Xu'an first bowed to Gu Qianqian, then looked up and throw a sneer to Wei Gaoyuan.

Wei Gaoyuan seemed not to catch his sneer, just waving his hand, "It's the end, you H-Sun club may go… Being disturbed for such a long time, I heard my stomach protesting."

Gu Qianqian shot a weird look at him — eat? You'd still got a good mood to eat?

The crowd gradually dispersed. Hu Xiaoshu had changed a you-guy-got-me face. What a splendid trick from heaven! Or… from hell!

Lin, next to Hu Xiaoshu, kept her head down and dared not to look at Wei Gaoyuan. Before today, she'd always treated Wei Gaoyuan as a waste, a loser, who did not deserve to be a friend with Hu Xiaoshu.

However, what had happened today was really a good lesson for her. 1 vs 2, just won that easily, a double-win both in swords and words. In the whole East Mountain Sword Club, she believed, few students could do it better.

Gu Qianqian took a look at Wei Gaoyuan and said, "Come with me."

"For what? I have to eat!" Wei Gaoyuan looked back cautiously.

Feeling a little angry and funny, Gu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him," Haven't eaten enough? I'm treating, just follow me."

Seeing Wei Gaoyuan still wanted to say no, Hu Xiaoshu on the side quickly gave him an alarm, "Gaoyuan! Your ladyship might get something important to talk with you."

"Okay, " Wei Gaoyuan shrugged, "go!"

After the presence of Gu Qianqian and the incident today, almost every one's eyes on Wei Gaoyuan had changed, especially the students in both the East Mountain Sword Club and the H-Sun Martial Arts Club.

The other students of the East Mountain Sword Club never expected Wei Gaoyuan knew the genius Miss Gu, let alone the strength he showed was so great. Just think about his relationship with Miss Gu, all made sense. Some of them even regretted that they had ignored or kept away from Wei Gaoyuan ever.

On the contrary, almost all the students of the H-Sun Club looked serious, especially younger brother Yao in the crowd and the two who had been beaten up just now. Because of that boy's relationship with Miss Gu, it mustn't be that easy to find excuses for getting back at him.

Wei Gaoyuan turned a blind eye to different eyes and voices around him and calmly accompanied Gu Qianqian out of the dining hall.

Until the boy and the girl disappeared into the sight of everyone, a few voices just secretly came in some corner of the dining hall.

"This kid is good… a promising talent!"

"Only fifteen or sixteen years old… played such a sinister trick. If go astray in the future…I am afraid…he will be a scourge."

"No, no, no… It was not his fault; he just gave his opponents a dose of the opponents-made medicine…"

"Yes! I just like his little tricks…"

"But his behavior was too…a little unscrupulous… It is said that he's always been absent when studying in the East Mountain Sword Club… I am afraid also…he will not be cultivated easily by ordinary rules in the future…"

"All of you seemed to have forgotten something crucial… This kid has not yet entered any of our sects actually! Even if he was selected, he can only be an external disciple… You're discussing him… just like selecting your own internal disciple?"

This statement made the heated discussion fall into a silence.

After a while, one of them laughed, "Haha…Exactly! This trial is to select external disciples to cultivate the officers in charge of affairs outside the sects. That is to say, if any of the selected go astray in the future, just erase them!"

"Whatever, I've put this kid on the list of my Tri-Harmo Clan..."

"Don't forget it, this kid is the student of the East Mountain Sword Club, naturally belongs to my East Mountain Sword Clan."

"Then why didn't you get this kid enter your clan? Because of his lower talents than your inclusion criteria? Just let my Yan Hua Clan give him a chance…"

"Don't argue any more, this kid is still a 'X'… If he turns out to be a '!', then we might as well… compete for him, fairly."

"Alright!"

"Well, that's it…"

…

The four people disappeared into the hall as quietly as they appeared, no students were disturbed, even from the beginning to the end of their talks, no one found that the four people had come to the dining hall.

When out of the dining hall, Wei Gaoyuan asked Gu Qianqian with a puzzled look, "Anything better you bring me out to eat?"

Eat! Eat! No other words in this guy's dictionary except "eat"?

Gu Qianqian shot him a seemingly angry stare, then reached for her waist, took out a nail-sized elixir and threw it to that hungry guy.

Wei Gaoyuan neglected her stare and took the elixir, checking it up and down, "I am not sick, why give me a pill?"

"That's Inedia Elixir, one pill will prove your big empty stomach full enough for a whole day." Gu Qianqian did not want to talk more to this guy, not explaining more valuable effects of the Inedia Elixir.

" Inedia Elixir!?" Wei Gaoyuan looked at Gu Qianqian with a suspicious look, then shook his head, "I can't afford such a treasure, just give it back to you…"

Seeing him really hand it back, Gu Qianqian waved, " it's been yours since I gave it to you… just a defective product…only worth a few hundred silver coins, at most..."

Wei Gaoyuan could hardly hold the little elixir. He'd heard of Inedia Elixir in the story at the tea houses, which was the dry food and snacks of the Land Taoists, but he'd never expected such a little pill could be so valuable.

Before meeting the woman in white of the Cloud-Heaven Palace, he had to use only copper coins for trading in his life. A hundred silver coins was even an astronomical figure for him. Recent years, he did improve a bit but only to the level of dozens of silver coins.

"This..." he frowned, really embarrassed to accept such a high-priced treasure.

"Eat it, then come with me, I've got a few questions for you." Gu Qianqian restored the princess-like imposing power, turned and walked to the deck.

Watching her from the back, Wei Gaoyuan secretly laughed at himself: such a fool! Miss Gu, your Ladyship, the third daughter of the city lord, would care about a defective Inedia Elixir? He swallowed it immediately and followed her to the deck.

The huge flying ship was galloping in the air hundreds of meters high. The wind whistling in the ears, ordinary people could hardly stand upright on the deck if not strong enough.

Such wind had little effect on the boy and the girl standing on the deck.

The moon had splashed countless starlight onto the pitch-black canvas of night. Gu Qianqian came to the edge of the ship, staring at the twinkling stars in the sky for a long time.

"You've been a warrior of ninth level in the Mystery, haven't you?" she suddenly asked.

"Yeah, just broke through the Transforming Force not long ago," Wei Gaoyuan did not lie.

Gu Qianqian fell silent. After a long while, she said softly, "I've been honored as 'the top genius in the Martial Arts' around Qizhou City, but still wandering about the peak of the Undistinguishment for years…It seems … you are the one who deserve that title."

"Well, you're giving me much higher title than I deserve. It's a real fluke…"

It was believed that many martial artists had failed to pass the summit of the mighty mountain between the bottom of the Mystery and the peak of the Undistinguishment.

Wei Gaoyuan, however, could barely tell the details about how he'd just leapt such a huge step forward.

"Well..." Gu Qianqian gave a chuckle and shook his head, "you know…no fluke on the way of the Martial Arts…That you did break through means… you are pretty talented."

Then she lowered her eyebrows in silence for a moment and looked up again, "I lost to you once… I wanna try it again."

"Again?" a surprise to Wei Gaoyuan.

"Yes! Again, here!" Gu Qianqian replied, firmly.

"Here?!" Wei Gaoyuan turned the surprise to an astonishment. Miss Gu! Your ladyship! The wind was raging in our ears! The stars were so close to our heads!

Gu Qianqian responded with nothing, she had pulled out her long sword and said seriously, "If you take me as a warrior, do your best!"

Without saying a word, Wei Gaoyuan slowly drew out his sword.
