Chapter 2519: Chapter 2618: What Are You Making a Fuss About? (Part 1)

Gu Xiu’s face was so contorted with anger it seemed it would twist completely.

His goddess, eagerly seeking out his nemesis, was something he couldn’t tolerate, regardless of the reason.

Moreover, there were only two or four hours remaining before he and Su Chen would become adversaries in a life-and-death struggle; besides, after this exchange match, Mu Feiyan would become his fiancée—at least, that’s how he believed it would be.

Gu Xiu never had a big heart, and especially in matters concerning his beloved woman, no one could have a big heart.

He couldn’t stop himself from overthinking.

Could it be that Mu Feiyan already knew Su Chen?

Could there have been some secret between Mu Feiyan and Su Chen that he wasn’t aware of?

"Mu Feiyan, stop right there!!!" Gu Xiu shouted.

Mu Feiyan’s expression was somewhat complex.

Things had blown up to this extent.

It was not what she had wanted.

But she was following her heart.

Su Chen was Qianqiu Xue’s savior, her own savior, and she couldn’t just let him die without trying to help.

She couldn’t.

Even if it meant incurring Gu Xiu’s resentment, facing misunderstanding and questioning from Ling Academy and father, she accepted it.

Her conscience was clear.

The only pity was that if Gu Xiu hadn’t come looking for her and found out about this matter, there could have been a perfect way to resolve it...

She could have told Su Chen everything, Su Chen wouldn’t have participated in the exchange match, the Saint Academy would still lose, Ling Academy would still rise, and she would still marry Gu Xiu as her father and Ling Academy wanted.

Originally, everything could have gone smoothly, but Gu Xiu had to come looking for her at just the right moment.

She clearly just wanted to rescue Su Chen, but now things had become unclear.

It seemed as if there was something between her and Su Chen.

And yet.

She still didn’t want to explain, because she wasn’t anyone to Gu Xiu; why should she explain to him? According to her promise, if he placed first in the exchange match, she would marry him. Even if Gu Xiu actually took first place, he would only be her fiancé after the exchange match, but the match hadn’t started yet, there were still three days to go. Before that, she was her own person, and she had no relationship with Gu Xiu; why should she explain to him?

Even if she did explain, would Gu Xiu believe her?

Soon.

The Holy Mountain had arrived.

Mu Feiyan took a deep breath, lifting her beautiful eyes to glance at the entrance of Su Chen’s cave dwelling on the upper half of the Holy Mountain, and then...

Mu Feiyan turned her head to look at the shadow behind her, tightly following her, Gu Xiu whose face was as dark as dripping water: "Stop following me."

"Mu Feiyan, do you know your identity? You are the master’s daughter. You are about to become my fiancée!!!" Gu Xiu said slowly, his voice reaching the peak of fury. Indeed, Mu Feiyan was going to find Su Chen.

She intended to find Su Chen.

His heart was bleeding.

Gu Xiu was convinced that Mu Feiyan was his fiancée, just as he was convinced that he would definitely place first in the exchange match this time.

"No matter how much I explain, you won’t believe me. Gu Xiu, I can only say, my conscience is clear." Mu Feiyan said this, then her figure flashed, heading upward towards Su Chen’s cave dwelling.

The aura around Gu Xiu was already off.

He was starting to lose control of himself, intending to take action.

He wanted to forcibly stop Mu Feiyan, wanted to directly injure her seriously, knock her unconscious, then take her away.

However.

Just as this thought emerged, he suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura!!!

The dangerous aura locked onto him instantaneously.

This aura emanated from within the Holy Mountain.

Did he really think the Saint Academy was so simple?

As an entity that was a breath away from being First-Class Forces, as one of the Four Great Academies, how could the Saint Academy be simple?

Take the Holy Mountain for instance; it’s the emblem of the Saint Academy, the dwelling of martial cultivators of the Saint Academy throughout the ages, there are countless secrets within the Holy Mountain.

It’s difficult for anyone outside the Saint Academy to approach Holy Mountain.

Didn’t you see that during this exchange match, the people from the other Three Great Academies had been arranged on another mountain adjacent to the Holy Mountain?

Generally, those who can reside on the Holy Mountain are exceptional individuals; for instance, Feng Xi, because he’s a member of the Feng Family, so he qualifies to live on the Holy Mountain.

At this moment, as Mu Feiyan and Gu Xiu were suddenly near the Holy Mountain, some ancient existences within the Holy Mountain, whether human, demon, or devil, had already locked onto Mu Feiyan and Gu Xiu. Mu Feiyan was alright because she ultimately harbored no intent to kill, hadn’t released any Mysterious Qi, nor had any negative emotions.

But Gu Xiu was different; at this moment, his Mysterious Qi was surging, anger reaching its peak, his aura was incredibly violent, unstable, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment, naturally warranting more attention—who knows what this powder keg might do?

"Damn it..." Gu Xiu bit his teeth, calming down significantly. This was the Holy Mountain, the domain of the Saint Academy, its most core area.

Even if he was furious!

Even if he was resentful!

Even if he was unwilling!

He had to endure, otherwise on the Holy Mountain, taking action would justify the Saint Academy’s higher-ups in erasing him. Although he was an Immortal, that was only relatively speaking; facing those at the level like Feng Qiu, old monsters a sliver away from the Great Emperor, he would still die.

Moreover, Gu Xiu knew too well that whether it was the Saint Academy, or the Ming Academy, or the Jade Academy, which higher-up among these Three Great Academies didn’t wish him dead?

After all, his rise was the rise of Ling Academy, and the other Three Great Academies had long since seen him as a thorn in the eye and had long wished for a chance to kill him? He couldn’t give them this chance.

Gu Xiu regretted a little, regretting taking action forcibly before getting closer to the Holy Mountain to stop Mu Feiyan.

At the time, he held some illusions, what if Mu Feiyan wasn’t going to find Su Chen?

Unexpectedly... it really was!!! It really was, ah!

Now regretting was useless; they had reached the scope of the Holy Mountain, and couldn’t take action.

Gu Xiu clenched his fists tightly, so tight they seemed about to shatter.

Yet he could only forcibly dispel his madness, murderous intent, and rage...

When he dispelled these, the danger locking from the Holy Mountain on him, that ominous taste started to dissipate gradually.

And at that moment.

"Xiu’er, what are you and Feiyan fussing about?!" A voice reached Gu Xiu’s ears, filled with confusion and frustration, and more with fear.

Then, Mu Lijian appeared.

He appeared beside Gu Xiu.

"Do you know what you’re doing? Is the Holy Mountain somewhere you can approach? Approaching the Holy Mountain equates to being killed by Feng Qiu, and even I would have nothing to say." Mu Lijian scolded angrily. This was a low-level mistake, yet Gu Xiu could still make it? He was too disappointed.

You think the Holy Mountain is what?

It’s the core area of the Ren Sheng Institute.

You’re not a disciple of the Holy Mountain, nor have you obtained permission from Feng Qiu and other Saint Academy higher-ups, yet you dare approach!!!

Really in a hurry to die, right?

"Master, it’s Feiyan, she intends to find Su Chen." Gu Xiu stated, his voice filled with bitterness and tightly suppressed anger; at this moment, he was desperate to tear Su Chen into pieces, yet he had to restrain himself, for now, they were at the foot of the Holy Mountain.
