Ms. Doctor Divine

Zhou Huaijin withdrew his hands and composed himself. Speaking calmly, he turned around and said, "Let's carry on with our usual tasks. Sword One, focus on your swordsmanship training as well. If you don't work hard, you may struggle to protect her in the future."

A tinge of sadness could be heard in Zhou Huaijin's voice as he uttered those words.

Sword One nodded in understanding.

The two of them returned to the hotel without encountering any disturbances.

Lingyun and Fu Bao were patiently awaiting their return.

Lingyun had just completed the refining of a pill furnace. Although her progress wasn't exceptionally fast, the process had been smooth.

With a smile, she intended to show her accomplishment to Gu Chaoyan, but to her surprise, she noticed the absence of their Elder Miss.

"Where is Elder Miss?" Lingyun inquired, puzzled by her sudden disappearance.

"She might be away for a few days. If you have no other tasks at hand, feel free to continue your alchemy practice," Zhou Huaijin replied, unsure of how to convey the situation.

Since Lingyun and Sword One were accustomed to sharing information with each other, they would eventually piece together the puzzle.

"Fu Bao, come with me. There's something I need to discuss with you," Zhou Huaijin said, motioning for Fu Bao to join them.

"Alright," Fu Bao responded, following them with a perplexed expression. He had no inkling of what had occurred. They had been engrossed in pill-making within the room and were now clueless about the circumstances.

At the gate, Gu Chaoyan and Li Mu arrived peacefully in Yuehua Continent after taking the heart-protecting pill. Seeing Li Mu by her side, Gu Chaoyan felt a sense of reassurance.

"Now, where should we go?" Li Mu inquired, understanding that his primary task was to assist and protect Lady Chaoyan, allowing her to make the decisions.

Gu Chaoyan was about to familiarize herself with the surroundings of Yuehua Continent when she detected the faint sound of footsteps approaching. Though soft, the footsteps were discernible.

"Who's there?" Gu Chaoyan voiced her question, and soon a person emerged.

It was a familiar face—the woman who had purchased the authority token at the auction, rumored to be from Wuhui Gate, as Duan Feng had mentioned.

Considering the circumstances in Haitian Market, it wasn't surprising for her to personally arrive in Yuehua Continent. The woman, An Mingxi, disregarded Gu Chaoyan's presence and walked away without uttering a word.

Gu Chaoyan interpreted it as a clear message that An Mingxi wanted to sever any further connection with her. In response, Gu Chaoyan chose not to engage further. She understood that she and Li Mu would have to rely on each other in this situation.

Just as Gu Chaoyan was preparing to depart…

Suddenly, another set of footsteps reached Gu Chaoyan's ears. Someone else had arrived.

Confusion filled her mind. What was happening?

According to Duan Feng, there were only four teleportation authority tokens in total. One was with An Mingxi, who had already left, and another was used by Li Mu. The remaining one was the one Duan Feng had mentioned could not be used, as it was needed by his master in the future.

So, who was this person that had appeared now?

Curiosity piqued, Gu Chaoyan leaned forward to catch a glimpse of the approaching figure. To her astonishment, she recognized the person walking towards her.

How could it be her?
