Chapter 231 Ability (1/2)

Zhu Yue raged in the hall, his twisted expression causing the outer mountain disciples to keep silent out of fear. Zhu Yue was undoubtedly akin to a volcano on the verge of eruption at this moment.

Although Zhu Yue was seeing red, he still retained some of his rationality, and soon took in a deep breath. He knew that if an inner mountain disciple like himself were to lash out at Zhou Yuan in a fit of rage for no real reason, it would be a violation of the rules.

Of course, the most important factor was the extremely powerful mysterious little creature at Zhou Yuan’s side which was in no way weaker than himself. Even if he did try something, it would likely not end well for him.

Zhu Yue’s anger gradually returned to calmness, though his face remained stormy. He looked at the crowd of disciples and flatly said, “Continue your training.”

“This is Gu Hongyi’s personal decision, so no one can interfere.”

“I do hope that this ‘great master’ she has found will be able to help her advance by leaps and bounds.”

At this point, everyone could hear the hint of ridicule in his voice. Evidently, he felt that Gu Hongyi was asking for trouble. It was hard to believe that she had become so muddle-headed because of Zhou Yuan.

The other disciples nodded one after another, though a puzzled look remained in their eyes.

“Why has Gu Hongyi chosen to learn from Zhou Yuan?”

“Could she… be interested in him?”

However, these words were immediately rebutted in a clearly sore manner, “How can that be possible? Who do you think Gu Hongyi is? How can she possibly fancy that country bumpkin.”

“Then why did she do that?”

“This…”

Everyone looked at each other, unable to think of an answer.

Zhu Feng tried to pacify Zhu Yue, “Don’t worry elder brother, when Gu Hongyi returns to her senses, she will realise Zhou Yuan’s true colors. When that happens, she will definitely return.”

Zhu Yue coldly snorted as he uncaringly said, “It is her choice, so she’ll bear the consequences.”

“If she continued under my tutelage, with her talent, she would have mastered the first level of the Ethereal Form technique in a month…” He shook his head, as if feeling that it was such a pity.

“But who could have imagined that she would choose to ruin her own future.”

“I do want to see how much she will be able to learn from Zhou Yuan… humph, if word of this matter spreads to the ears of that elder of Gu Hongyi’s, that person will not forgive Zhou Yuan.”

A mocking angle seemed to be hooked up from the corners of Zhu Yue’s lips, as if he could already see Zhou Yuan’s tragic fate.

...

By a certain creak in the mountain.

Zhou Yuan stood on a rock, gazing at the young lady in red before him and inquired, “You’ve completed the tenth aperture of the Ethereal Form technique?”

Gu Hongyi nodded, her shapely brows knitting together slightly as she responded, “But it’s getting harder and harder to sense them the more apertures I find. I’ve already spent an entire day trying, but I’ve yet to sense the eleventh aperture.”

She suspiciously looked at Zhou Yuan and asked, “So how will you help me?”

“Sit down.” Zhou Yuan pointed to a rock.

Gu Hongyi sat down with her back straight. Her red clothes wrapped around her full curves that extended all the way to her waist as her chest stealthily rose and fell.

Zhou Yuan also sat down in front of her.

“Stretch out your hands.”

Gu Hongyi glared at Zhou Yuan, her eyes a little cold.

Zhou Yuan helplessly sighed. “Can you just listen to me?”

Gu Hongyi snorted softly as she glared daggers at Zhou Yuan. ”If I find out that you're trying to take advantage of me, I will not let you off.”

After finishing, she extended her hands, palms facing Zhou Yuan.

The corners of Zhou Yuan's lips curled slightly downwards as he also extended his hands, placing them against Gu Hongyi's.

A slight cooling sensation spread from their touching palms, causing Gu Hongyi's heart to tremble a little. Although she was viciously glaring at Zhou Yuan, a blush had risen on her face.

Zhou Yuan closed his eyes and said, ”Circulate the Ethereal Form technique.”

Only upon seeing that Zhou Yuan was seemingly no trying anything funny did Gu Hongyi forcibly attempt to ignore the uncomfortable feeling from her palms. She shut her eyes, willing herself into calmness, before beginning to direct her Genesis Qi along the Ethereal Form training route.

Genesis Qi began to flow, circulating round after round.

Gu Hongyi also began to sense the location of the eleventh aperture.
