NovelEnglishChapter 694: “Ominous Clouds Loom (1)”
The tiny dwelling in the little bamboo grove was occupied once again but this time, the one living with Jun Wu Xie was not Fan Zhuo, but Gu Ying. It was not known what method Gu Ying used that he was able to make the loony Ah Jing really begin to serve him. Their daily three meals were prepared by Ah Jing and everytime Jun Wu Xie saw Ah Jing, Ah Jing would always glance just once fearfully at her and immediately lower his head. And whenever Gu Ying appeared, Ah Jing would just start to tremble violently.
“It has already been two days since Senior returned. Aren’t you intending to make a trip back to the Spirit Healer faculty to take a look?” Gu Ying had just pushed the door and entered Jun Wu Xie’s room without leave as he asked with a big smile on his face.
Jun Wu Xie ignored him and walked out the door on her own, going towards the Spirit Healer faculty. Gu Ying followed behind unperturbed and they met quite a number of the Zephyr Academy’s disciples along the way. When those disciples saw Gu Ying, they all bolted in different directions terror stricken, not unlike frightened birds seeing a cat, which only drew out laughter from Gu Ying.
When they came to the Spirit Healer faculty, all the disciples inside all just lowered their heads, not daring to lift their eyes when they saw Gu Ying.

“Senior should just go ahead and finish up with his business. I’ll just wait here outside.”

Throughout the entire Zephyr Academy, the only person that caused Gu Ying any concern was Wen Xin Han and Wen Xin Han only cared about Fan Jin’s life and he did not seem to be interested in meddling into any other affairs in the academy.
Both Jun Wu Xie and Gu Li Sheng were people they wanted to have remain behind and there was nothing for him to worry about.
Jun Wu Xie did not find Gu Ying’s cooperative demeanor strange. Through her observations, she had managed to get a good grasp of Gu Ying’s mind.

Jun Wu Xie rapped her knuckles on the door to Gu Li Sheng’s office. It was silent for a moment behind the door before Gu Li Sheng’s voice rang out. Jun Wu Xie pushed the door open and she shut the door tight after she entered, isolating Gu Ying’s smiley eyes from them.
“Jun Xie!” Gu Li Sheng’s face had been filled with worry and anxiety in the office but even his eyes saw Jun Wu Xie, they lit up immediately. He quickly got up from behind his desk and strode over to Jun Wu Xie with wide long steps.

“Do you know know who did it?” Jun Wu Xie asked softly.
Gu Li Sheng shook his head with a bitter smile. “He came to the Zephyr Academy more than half a month ago and initially it was claimed he was Ning Rui’s cousin.
