Ms. Doctor Divine

1798 Revealing News 4

She couldn’t simply die, even if she couldn’t become the Queen.

Survival was her only hope for a future. If she died, there would be no hope for her whatsoever.

Terrified and shaken, Gu Ruxue turned to Qianji. “I saw nothing, absolutely nothing! I came here today because Duke North forced me to! I am just a helpless girl with no other choice! I never intended to harm Piaomiao Pavilion. I was coerced into coming here, I swear!”

“…”

“Don’t kill me. I pose no threat. I’ll leave now. I saw nothing, and I’ll keep it all a secret!” Gu Ruxue pleaded fearfully, attempting to flee.

Qianji chuckled, observing Gu Ruxue’s reaction.

He had initially planned to kill her as well, but her current state of fright stayed his hand.

What else could she do in her fear?

Would she expose the events of today?

Even if she did, what would it matter?

Piaomiao Pavilion never feared the Saint Divine Land. They were merely cautious of Phoenix Girl.

This man had drugged Phoenix Girl and was aiding in removing the assassin.

Moreover, Phoenix Girl was returning to the City Lord of Snow Territory and Snow Territory itself…

Qianji’s best course of action was to discuss this matter with the City Lord rather than seek help from Phoenix Girl. There was no need to fear when he had eliminated this man.

As Wuxing entered the scene, he witnessed a lifeless body and an indifferent-looking Qianji.

Wuxing was taken aback. “What’s happening? Why did you kill Mr. Duke in the Saint Divine Land?”

“I don’t need any explanations. Wuxing, have you forgotten who we are after being away for so long?” Qianji said, his tone dripping with arrogance.

Wuxing subtly shook his head.

Of course not.

Piaomiao Pavilion, as the leader of all the schools, never had to justify their actions or disclose their motives to anyone.

Their arrogance only intensified due to their pursuit of the Golden Rolls.

Qianji was pleased by Wuxing’s response.

They continued walking, and he added, “It’s good that you’re here. Come with me to see the City Lord. She’s returning to Snow Territory with him. Once she arrives there, we won’t have access to the Golden Rolls anymore. It’ll be too late by then. The Golden Rolls are of utmost importance to us, especially now that the door to enchantment has been opened.”

Wuxing seemed preoccupied, but he still nodded in agreement.

They made their way to the courtyard where the people from Snow Territory resided.

Qianji understood that this was their final opportunity.

Worry gnawed at him.

When Qianji arrived, Ouyang Mingjing didn’t refuse their request. He personally received them.

“Qianji, Elderly Man from Piaomiao Pavilion, what brings you here?” Ouyang Mingjing asked, sounding rather relaxed.

“I heard that Phoenix Girl is returning to Snow Territory with you. You’ve achieved your goal, City Lord, while we have come here in vain. Though we may not be friends, we bear no grudges against each other.”

“…”

“So what Piaomiao Pavilion desires is a glimpse of the Golden Rolls. And we are willing to provide whatever Snow Territory needs, as long as it is within our capabilities.”
