Chapter 471: Abilities

The sudden voice almost caused Gu Chaoyan to upset the things in her hands, but she eventually stabilised her steps.

She looked about. What was talking?

“You dumb-headed girl!” The Phoenix complained. He was definitely leading a terrible life – why was his master so silly? He was the phoenix, and she was treating him like a rooster.

The more he thought, the more annoyed he became.

Gu Chaoyan looked at him with curiosity, she just could not tell that he was furious. He could talk? And the voice was nice too, sounding quite like a phoenix, but was he calling her dumb-headed?

Gu Chaoyan was going to teach him a lesson.

She lifted his wings and asked with a threatening tone. “Who are you calling dumb?”

“You!” The phoenix said without feeling guilty.

“Why am I dumb?” Gu Chaoyan just could not get it – no one had ever called her dumb in both of her lives, except for the Gu Family.

“I am your soul, you should make a blood alliance with me!” The phoenix said with a complaining voice.

Gu Chaoyan was surprised. That was interesting?

Gu Chaoyan looked at her wounded hand. “How are we doing this?”

“Your forehead.” The bird reminded her, looking helpless.

Gu Chaoyan made an attempt and squeezed some drops of blood out of her forehead.

The phoenix that was bearing the blood drop was bathing in a patch of red light, looking rather satisfied.

Gu Chaoyan waited until he finished the bathing.

A quarter hour passed, before the phoenix finally opened his eyes.

The master seemed dumb, but the blood was pure and innocent, very good. That was a great master.

That made the phoenix feel good.

“Okay, you can leave now.” The phoenix said.

Gu Chaoyan was wearing a complicated expression on her face.

Was she the master or was he? However, it was not time to talk about this – she was not even bothered to talk about this with an animal. So she left with her own stuff.

She had just left the space, when Sword One came running in a hurry. “Elder Miss…”

“Huh?” Gu Chaoyan took a sip of tea, and looked at Sword One, wondering what made her so anxious.

“The man from Saint College is here. He is asking for you. You promised to let him be with you when he is cured. He said that he has not seen you back at the school, so he came here instead.” Sword One reminded Elder Miss when she found her confused.

Gu Chaoyan put down the teacup, then she went over something in her head.

That was true… The man had been seriously-injured back then and she needed to go back home as soon as possible, so she approved of his request verbally. However, this man turned out to be so devoted to her that he was even at the doorstep now.

If that was the case… Chaoyan said, “Sword One, bring him in.”

Sword One nodded and left.

Gu Chaoyan was thinking about how to arrange this man.

She already had four guards, but she needed some staff for the clinic, which was still in the planning process.

If it was possible, she would hire him to watch over the house first, so that Qing could come back to her side. Winter was coming and soon she would be holding the Adulthood Ceremony as well as the wedding. That was when Qing would come in handy.

Qing was, after all, the only person that kept her company throughout her life and took care of her.

With ideas in mind, Gu Chaoyan was feeling quite relieved.

Sword One had also come in with that man by this point.

Gu Chaoyan sized this man up. He had been lying in bed during their past meetings, but he turned out to be a tough and tall man, a typical hunter-looking guy.

The man kneeled down the moment he walked in. “Greetings, Elder Miss!”

“Please rise first.” Gu Chaoyan waved her hand. “What is your speciality?”
