Ms. Doctor Divine

1802 Together 2

Ouyang Mingjing was taken aback by the sight of Zhou Huaijin’s face. What was he doing inside the wagon? Was he joining them on their journey back to Snow Territory instead of seeing them off?

Ouyang Mingjing couldn’t believe it. Zhou Huaijin had just ascended the throne after years of hard work and efforts. Instead of remaining in the court, he was venturing into the unknown Snow Territory with them?

He had initially thought that assigning a group of people to accompany Phoenix Girl was already going above and beyond his duties. But he had clearly underestimated Zhou Huaijin.

...

Longqing also noticed the King’s presence and shared Ouyang Mingjing’s surprise. “Is their King really following us?”

“…”

“City Lord, what should we do? Should we proceed with our original plan?” Longqing asked, seeking guidance.

“Yes, nothing changes with his presence,” Ouyang Mingjing replied without hesitation.

With Zhou Huaijin accompanying them, their task was to stick to the original plan and avoid any mistakes. The King’s affection for Phoenix Girl could potentially complicate matters in Snow Territory.

After giving the order, Ouyang Mingjing exchanged a nod with Zhou Huaijin as a way of acknowledging his presence. Then he averted his gaze and took the lead.

Piaomiao Pavilion and the Cangyan Door also made the decision to follow them out of the capital.

However…

Despite their presence, the guards from Snow Territory made it difficult for anyone to approach Phoenix Girl or find any trace of Golden Rolls along the way.

Ouyang Mingjing scanned the surroundings before entering the wagon. His gaze fell upon Qing, who was among the crowd. He was pleased that Longqing had done a good job.

Qing couldn’t believe that Ouyang Mingjing was looking at her in such a way. She started to question herself, wondering if it was just her imagination.

But…

Just receiving that look from him made her immensely happy. It was enough for her.

That’s why she made the decision to follow Longqing’s instructions.

As for Elder Miss, she believed that in her next life, she would have the opportunity to repay the debt.

Qing averted her gaze, lowered her head, and moved forward.

If everything went well, she would reach Snow Territory with them and spend the rest of her life there, being able to see him frequently.

Qing’s heart skipped a beat with anticipation.

Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan followed Ouyang Mingjing’s guidance, making her way alongside the group.

Ouyang Mingjing appeared to be searching for someone, his gaze scanning the surroundings with purpose. But who was he looking for?

Gu Chaoyan glanced around but soon stopped her search, thinking that it might have been just a casual glance rather than something significant.

The wagons continued to move swiftly, as if worried that Gu Chaoyan might change her mind at any moment.

The group following behind also maintained a quick pace. However, what puzzled Gu Chaoyan was that the wagon remained steady, causing no jolts or bumps for her.

After they had distanced themselves from the capital, a hidden guard from the Shadow Door relayed a message to them.

Sword One, upon hearing the news, returned to the wagon.

“What has happened?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.

“Elder Miss, something significant has occurred in the capital,” Sword One replied, wearing a complex expression on her face.
