Ms. Doctor Divine

1716 Out of Court 5

Gu Chaoyan’s unwavering trust in Lingyun was evident wherever they went, a clear testament to the deep bond between them.

Piaomiao Pavilion found itself in a rather precarious position. Qianji Elderly Man had stated that if the Saint Divine Land refused to comply, they would be compelled to vacate the court. However, leaving the court would only diminish Piaomiao Pavilion’s standing and reputation.

Yet, remaining in the current situation was equally undesirable. The lack of progress with Golden Rolls posed a significant challenge. It was imperative to find a way out that would salvage their dignity.

The most favorable course of action would be to arrange for Lingyun to engage in conversations with Phoenix Girl on certain occasions. This would allow both parties to exit the situation on better terms and leave room for further discussions.

Wuxing had already made a promise to Lingyun, assuring her that he would consume her pills and marry her. She need not worry about anything—they were bound together by their shared commitment.

In order to assist Piaomiao Pavilion, Lingyun’s cooperation would be necessary.

Wuxing subtly signaled Lingyun, urging her to speak up.

Despite Wuxing’s earnest efforts to convey the message, Lingyun appeared to ignore him, even though her gaze seemed to be directed in their general direction.

This disregard left Wuxing both anxious and infuriated. He shot a piercing glare at Lingyun, hoping to elicit a response. However, Lingyun remained unresponsive.

Time was running out, leaving them with limited options.

The members of Piaomiao Pavilion grew increasingly frustrated and tense. Reluctantly, they began to prepare to leave the court, their displeasure evident.

Zhou Huaijin’s men observed them closely, seemingly concerned that they might resist the decision to vacate.

Wuxing felt a profound sense of helplessness.

Even as they prepared to depart, Wuxing couldn’t help but give Lingyun a subtle hint as he passed by her.

However, Lingyun remained stoic, displaying no emotions and showing no indication of understanding his intention.

Wuxing couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment. It seemed that Lingyun had been blinded by her own desires, only seeing the positive aspects of their relationship and failing to see his true intentions. She had misunderstood him, thinking that she was needed and finding pleasure in that thought. She had failed to truly understand him as a person.

Now, with nothing stirring her heart, Lingyun regarded Wuxing with a gaze that conveyed a mixture of disbelief and amusement.

The members of Piaomiao Pavilion departed, their departure overshadowed by a palpable sense of embarrassment.

Shortly after Piaomiao Pavilion’s departure, the members of the Cangyan Door swiftly packed up and left the palace where they had been staying. Fu Bao arrived only to find an empty space. The Young Head of the Cangyan Door, however, wore a kind smile as he spoke, “We have heard about the recent events. It is best for us to relocate from the court to the hostels. Thank you.”

Zhou Huaijin had made the necessary arrangements for their relocation, expecting that it would take some time to convince the Cangyan Door. Yet, to his surprise, they willingly complied, saving him from further complications.

Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, didn’t view Snow Territory as a significant concern. She entrusted the task to Fu Bao, allowing him to handle it himself.

During their journey back, Gu Chaoyan noticed Zhou Huaijin’s expression of surprise. She explained, “Piaomiao Pavilion tends to be overly concerned with trivial matters. They have a tendency to be arrogant and unruly. They wouldn’t want to subject themselves to any form of humiliation, which is why they reacted the way they did.”

“….”

“But in reality, it is the Cangyan Door that proves to be the most elusive. They don’t concern themselves with reputation but prefer to operate from the shadows, using Piaomiao Pavilion as a front-line attack. They are well aware that their efforts are in vain, observing what Piaomiao Pavilion gains in return.”
