Ms. Doctor Divine

1795 Revealing News 1

In that moment, a vivid image of a person suddenly emerged in his mind—the person he had encountered on several occasions. She often wore a simple green dress and carried a humble demeanor in his presence. However, her eyes shone with a special light, as if he were the sole focus of her attention.

It dawned on him that he might never leave Snow Territory again after this journey. Even if he did manage to venture beyond its borders, he knew he would never return to the Saint Divine Land or see her again.

A profound unease washed over him. The thought of leaving her behind in the Saint Divine Land left him with a deep sense of sorrow.

...

He had always been aware of his destiny to become the City Lord as he grew older. As the City Lord of Snow Territory, he would have to make sacrifices and prioritize the well-being of his domain. He possessed a strong sense of self-discipline and could endure the pain, knowing his responsibilities and limitations.

But…

A selfish desire welled up within him.

He wanted to take her with him. Even if he couldn’t have her or see her, simply knowing that she was nearby would be enough.

It was an incredibly self-centered thought, but it was the only option he could fathom at that moment.

That girl had her own principles. He planned to bring her, the Elder Miss, to Snow Territory, and she understood her role as a maid. She would comprehend that she could accompany her Elder Miss without causing any trouble.

So…

That would be sufficient.

It wouldn’t jeopardize the overall plan.

Ouyang Mingjing firmly believed it was an excellent and fitting solution.

Turning to Longqing, he shifted the conversation away from Piaomiao Pavilion and spoke with a serious tone. “I’m assigning you a mission, but you mustn’t disclose it to Elder Men. As far as I recall, Phoenix Girl relocated her maid to the temple. Inform her of this news and let her know before we depart. Additionally, assist her in joining our entourage as a servant. But keep it limited to that. This way, she can accompany us.”

Longqing was taken aback by the unexpected plan.

He had assumed the City Lord sought to exact revenge on Piaomiao Pavilion as a way to express his anger for Phoenix Girl. While not the most pragmatic or advantageous strategy, it was still comprehensible. Longqing could have understood such a course of action.

But…

The City Lord was talking about the maid serving Phoenix Girl.

The maid who had inadvertently obtained the Acacia beans!

The City Lord had always exhibited great self-control, and they believed he could suppress his emotions as long as the maid remained out of sight. Besides, everyone’s focus was on Phoenix Girl, and nothing else seemed to matter.

But evidently, they had underestimated the power of the Acacia beans.

The City Lord’s desire for the maid had not waned; in fact, he intended to bring her back to Snow Territory.

He had contemplated discussing this matter with Elder Men, but it appeared that the City Lord wanted to keep it hidden from him.

Longqing felt shocked and powerless.

This was a significant revelation because it concerned the City Lord himself!

Suddenly, he recalled Elder Men’s words—that the girl should die when she accidentally obtained the beans.
