Chapter 21: Possessed by the Fire

  A long time ago, he had fantasized that one day he could take a beautiful girlfriend for a stroll on campus, in the woods, and on the small paths by the street, quietly savoring this serene moment. Not to show off, not to be luxurious, just wanting to hold onto the warmth of her hand, walking to the ends of the earth. Guo Ming didn't have too many extravagant desires, he hoped for a life as calm as water.

  Unfortunately, Guo Mingming understood that since he encountered the mysterious old man, his life would be greatly turbulent, especially after coming into contact with the mysterious creatures of the world. This idea was even more intense. If it weren't for his own special abilities that day, he might have become a puddle of blood. The strong ignoring the weak's lives made Guo Mingming understand that in this world, without strength, one cannot protect oneself, let alone others.

  This feeling is really great, but I don't know how many more opportunities there will be. Guo Ming tilted his head to look at Shui Meng Yao, the golden moonlight casting a glow on her cheek. On Shui Meng Yao's delicate face, he could see a faint blush, which made her even more beautiful. If time were to stand still, quietly gazing at Shui Meng Yao would also be a wonderful pleasure, even if it lasted for a thousand years, he would have no regrets.

  Unfortunately, Guo Ming soon lost his mood. Looking at the two cars in front and back with flat tires parallel to the ground, Guo Ming cursed loudly: "Which bastard did this?"

  Shui Mengyao slightly furrowed her brow, she didn't like the look of a young rascal on Guo Ming's face, she liked the gentle and refined youth. Taking a step forward, she said softly: "Maybe it was just a stone that cut you?"

  "Ridiculous! Both belts are broken? What a coincidence!" Guo Ming said angrily, and started searching around with his head down.

  The expression on Shui Mengyao's face was slightly stagnant, and she also vaguely felt that things were not so simple. However, she still said: "Although the possibility is very small, there is still such a coincidence?"

  "Hmph, look at this! Guo Ming said, holding up two drawing pins. Letting out air is one thing, but actually pricking my belt? Don't let me catch you, or I'll definitely make you regret it."

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo took a look and was also outraged, this person is too evil, how can they do such a thing? She asked: "Do you know who did it?"

  "Who else could it be? Guo Ming sneered, never thought this kid would find trouble and bring it to my doorstep, should have known better than to help him last time."

  "What do you mean, Tang Feng? How is that possible?" Shui Mengyao asked in surprise. Although Tang Feng had a bad impression on her, it was only from today onwards. In her subconscious mind, Shui Mengyao still regarded him as a tall, handsome and good student.

  "Nothing is impossible. It's hard to know a person's heart, only their face. Guo Ming took the book back from the car basket and looked at Shui Mengyao, saying, 'No choice, I'll just have to get on your bike.'"

  "There's no evidence, so we shouldn't randomly suspect others, what do you say?" "Get in my car," but Water Dream Jade (Shuǐ Mèng Yáo) firmly refused. Water Dream Jade was very traditional and in her mind, only her own boyfriend could give her a ride. She had a good impression of Guo Ming, but it wasn't yet true affection.

  "I'm just kidding," Guo Ming said with a smile.

  "Come on, let's go together! I'll push it. Water Dream Jade felt a bit embarrassed and twisted her words."

  "Isn't that bad? This will make people gossip, I don't care, but you are the heavenly proud daughter, it's not good for your reputation. Guo Ming slung his backpack behind him and chuckled, 'If anything happens, give me a call, I'll leave first, hope there's still a bus.'"

  "You, Shuimeng Yao, opened your mouth to call out, but realized you had no reason to stop Guo Ming. Otherwise, it would be a real insult to him. "Ah, I really didn't understand you before, and your self-esteem is so strong."

  Guo Ming walked to the school gate, let out a light sigh, with a faint disappointment and despair on his face, muttering: "Am I really such a failure? Meng Yao, are you really so unattainable?"

  The moonlight hung low, and the golden light spread across the five lakes and four seas, but it still couldn't reach into Guo Ming's heart, and another day passed by.

  Guo Ming let out a sigh, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at the sunset outside that had already begun to set. A smile appeared on his face. The two-day exam had passed so easily, perhaps it was a painful day for others, but for Guo Ming, it was just an ordinary test paper. He had done such exercises too many times. It has to be said that the strategy of fighting in the sea of questions is indeed useful. Guo Ming is confident that his score will reach the top this time. He has no reservations at all. He wants to make all students look up to him, he wants to prove himself, and most importantly, he doesn't want to disappoint his parents. He wants his parents to be proud of him because of himself.

  Guo Ming handed in his test paper early and came to the playground, where he saw Zhang Zihan and Chen Ziyu again. The scene was still the same, but would the result be the same? Guo Ming didn't dodge, and walked over with big strides.

  "Zi Yu, tomorrow you'll be an adult, at that time your family will definitely introduce a boyfriend to you. The nature of those aristocratic sons I believe you're more aware of than me, just let me help you?" Zhang Zi Han said urgently.

  "No need, I already have a boyfriend," Chen Ziyu refused.

  "Who is it?" Zhang Zihan was taken aback and asked immediately." But he didn't believe it.

  "Who is it and what's your relationship with him?" Chen Ziyu was about to mention Guo Ming's name, but thinking of Guo Ming's words, she swallowed her words.

  "I know you're cheating me, Zi Yu now has no one else to help you except for me, Zhang Zihan's heart is slightly determined."

  Chen Ziyu was speechless, and now she had no confidence in Guo Ming at all. For two days, Guo Ming hadn't come to look for her once, whether he was weak or afraid, although there was a faint disappointment in her heart, but she didn't blame him, on the contrary, people who were blindly arrogant were the most shameful.

  Zhang Zihan took a step closer, speaking softly: "Zi Yu, don't you know my true feelings for you? I can give up everything for you, I swear to spend the rest of my life protecting you."

  He was elegant and refined, with a subtle ancient fragrance on him. As he confessed his feelings, Chen Ziyu looked up at his loving eyes, but just one glance made her hastily turn away, her voice flustered as she said: "Zihan, I'd rather you be my brother, we're too familiar, I really don't like you. Don't force me."

  Zhang Zihan's face suddenly fell, and he said in a low voice: "Why, can you give me a reason?"

  "I don't have any feelings for you," Chen Ziyu said in a low voice, as if she was afraid of hurting Zhang Zihuan. Her voice was unusually soft, but the two were so close that Zhang Zihuan couldn't help but hear it. What could be more hurtful than this sentence? One sentence "I don't have any feelings for you" was enough to surpass a thousand rejections. His heart felt like it had been hollowed out, and Zhang Zihuan suddenly felt that the faith he had pursued since childhood had shattered in an instant. He opened his mouth, feeling as if the air around him had been sucked out, making it hard to breathe in a fresh breath. Suffocating, despairing gas filled Zhang Zihuan's heart.

  A blood arrow shot out from his chest, splashing onto Shui Mengyao's clothes. His body fell backwards, his face filled with a desperate expression as he stared blankly at Shui Mengyao, as if wanting to imprint her shadow in his heart. Since she doesn't love me, what's the point of my existence? This was Zhang Zihans' final thought.

  Chen Ziyu was frightened, and four bloody characters appeared in her mind, "Walk fire into magic", this is the taboo of every martial artist. Once encountered such a thing, lightly injured, heavily even will die. Of course, if you take some protective measures in time, you can completely prevent this from happening. But Zhang Zihans power is deeper than himself, how can he help him through?

  She was stunned, and Guo Ming's face changed as he quickly stepped forward, embracing Zhang Zihuan who was about to fall to the ground, and sternly said: "Don't you hurry up and find your family elder?"

  Chen Ziyu snapped out of it and rushed to the classroom, leaving her phone behind. Guo Ming placed one hand on his back, took a deep breath, and fully activated the Water Path Heart Method, channeling pure and unadulterated true yuan into Zhang Zihans body. Guo Ming now understood that what he was cultivating was indeed Daoist magic, also known as immortal magic. What was initially produced in his own body was true yuan, whereas martial artists produced true qi. The two were completely different from the start.

  Although Zhang Zihan's true energy was very strong, Guo Ming's true yuan was not weaker than his. Moreover, the level of his true yuan was much higher than Zhang Zihan's. Most importantly, the true yuan of the Water Path was biased towards healing, and after a moment, Guo Ming suppressed Zhang Zihan's violent true energy. However, Guo Ming's consumption was also considerable. His face turned almost as pale as gold paper, and his whole body was weak to the point of collapse, nearly fainting.

  At this time, Guo Ming heard the humming sound and saw a military plane flying towards the school from afar. He glanced at Zhang Zihuan lying on the ground and shook his head, saying: "It's really true that you were born with a golden spoon in your mouth, even a military plane can be called over, it's not comparable!"

  Guo Ming didn't stay for long and left first. He originally didn't want to have too much involvement with these aristocratic young masters, but in order to help Chen Ziyu, he had no choice but to reveal his true strength. Originally, he could have consumed a portion of his true yuan to temporarily suppress his injuries, but now he relied on the powerful true yuan to heal his injuries, and he believed that the Zhang family would make the right decision.

  Several high-ranking members of the Zhang family were anxiously waiting in a luxurious villa, originally they would not appear in this small county town according to their identity, but about a secret matter the Zhang and Chen families had set up branch institutions here.

  Zhang Wenfeng listened to the phone call from Shui Mengyao and immediately arranged for a helicopter to be dispatched by the Wu Department to rescue her. He paced back and forth in the hall, unable to calm down.

  "Big brother, do you think something will happen to Zihuan?" Zhang Wenlei asked anxiously. He couldn't help but worry, as Zhang Zihuan was being groomed as the next generation's successor. If anything were to happen to Zhang Zihuan now, the two of them would be held responsible and the family head would not let them off easily. Which large family with a history spanning hundreds of years didn't have strict family rules?
