1814 Into Snow Territory 9

Fu Bao’s face contorted into a bitter expression. The Shadow Door had always possessed limitless capabilities, and he had never imagined encountering such confusion. Arriving in the realm of Snow Territory, Fu Bao realized that he had stumbled upon a formidable challenge, leaving him utterly perplexed and without any solutions.

Elder Miss, ever resourceful, continued to contemplate possible remedies as they trudged through the snow. However, Fu Bao found himself devoid of any ideas or strategies to overcome their predicament.

After pondering for a moment, Fu Bao helplessly shook his head and addressed Elder Miss, “We are at a loss, Elder Miss. We lack both ideas and methods.”

...

Gu Chaoyan had anticipated this outcome, which left her equally bewildered. The unexpected nature of Snow Territory had caught them off guard.

“Let’s stick to our original plan while also brainstorming alternative approaches,” Gu Chaoyan suggested. “Despite the challenging environment here, try your best to memorize our point of origin. If you can’t recall it exactly, at least make an effort!”

Motivated by Elder Miss’ words, Fu Bao nodded fervently. He checked the time and realized they couldn’t linger for too long, as it might raise suspicions from Ouyang Mingjing. He needed to exercise extreme caution.

Coughing and hunching her shoulders, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t conceal her discomfort caused by the biting cold. Though she made an effort to shield herself from it, she couldn’t fully ward off the frigid temperature, which left her feeling quite uneasy.

Zhou Huaijin was deeply concerned about her well-being. Tenderly, he held her in his arms and carefully entered the wagon, ensuring her comfort.

Chaoyan’s nurturing nature extended not only to the matters concerning the Shadow Door but also to the people and things around her. Zhou Huaijin understood this and often allowed her to involve herself, knowing that she would feel worse if left out. However, this situation was different.

She was clearly experiencing great discomfort, and it was important for her to conserve her energy rather than focusing solely on the affairs of the Shadow Door.

Zhou Huaijin was known for treating his subordinates with fairness and generosity. As long as they put in their best effort, he ensured they received the best possible treatment, maintaining an open-minded approach.

However, there was one fundamental reason behind his establishment of the Shadow Door. He had created it with the intention of acquiring enough power and abilities to protect not only himself and his men but also those he deeply cared for.

The members of the Shadow Door were granted the best treatment because they dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to its cause. The current mission at hand emphasized the safety of Chaoyan in Snow Territory and their collective departure from it. While meticulous planning was necessary for their whereabouts, the foremost priority remained Chaoyan’s well-being and security.

Zhou Huaijin made it clear that he would not tolerate any hidden guards causing her any distress, particularly when she was already unwell.

Such actions were simply unacceptable.

Zhou Huaijin briefly conversed with the hidden guards before entering the wagon to attend to Gu Chaoyan.

Soon, Lingyun arrived, carefully carrying a tray with a cup of steaming tea. Placing it down, she proceeded to assess Gu Chaoyan’s condition, stepping into the role of a makeshift medic due to her familiarity with drug-making.

“How is it?”
