Ms. Doctor Divine



Qianji hadn't anticipated that the truth would differ from his initial expectations.

Gu Chaoyan was seeking justice for that foolish Duke North!

How absurd!

That imbecile had drugged her and caused her harm.

"It's his own problem that he died. Why should it be our concern?" Zhao Dier shouted, clearly displeased with Gu Chaoyan's involvement. "D was…"

Zhao Dier was about to reveal that Duke North had deserved his fate when Qianji swiftly interrupted her. His voice carried a dark tone as he interjected, "Duke North did approach us, seeking collaboration. However, we had nothing to offer him, so we turned him away. We never anticipated that he would encounter such an unfortunate incident. It's possible that someone from Piaomiao Pavilion is responsible. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Please grant us some time."

Taking charge of the situation, Qianji assumed responsibility.

He pulled Zhao Dier away as he addressed her, moving towards their disciple. "Lady Dier, refrain from divulging any potentially incriminating details. Duke North did drug Gu Chaoyan, but he is now deceased. If you reveal everything, Phoenix Girl will hold us accountable for what occurred."

"…."

"We may not possess the Golden Rolls, but we must avoid becoming enemies of Phoenix Girl. It simply isn't worth it," Qianji emphasized, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a favorable relationship with Gu Chaoyan.

He had lost his greatest hope and felt a profound sense of distress. However, he had no choice but to suppress those emotions in order to ensure that everything proceeded smoothly.

Gazing at his disciples, he motioned for one of them to approach his side.

Taking the chosen disciple with him, he approached Gu Chaoyan.

The disciple had no inkling of the situation. He believed that Elder Man had summoned him for something auspicious, perhaps an opportunity for a promising future.

As the disciple stood before Gu Chaoyan, Qianji exerted his power, instantly striking the disciple who collapsed lifeless in front of Gu Chaoyan before he could even utter a question.

"Duke North and this disciple had a conflict. Duke North used his power to kill him. Now, this is the culprit, and his life has been forfeit," Qianji stated. "If you're not satisfied, Phoenix Girl, I can offer more disciples to atone for it. It's the only way I can make amends."

Gu Chaoyan's lips parted, ready to voice her inquiries.

However, she chose not to confront Qianji.

It was a fair outcome, given that Duke North had willingly entered the hostel, initiating the chain of events.

But…

Gu Chaoyan sensed that there was something more to the situation.

Zhou Huaijin tugged at Gu Chaoyan's arm, exchanged a few words with Qianji, and swiftly concluded the matter concerning Duke North.

Together, Zhou Huaijin guided Gu Chaoyan back to where the troops were stationed.

A sigh of relief escaped Gu Chaoyan's lips.

As they journeyed, Gu Chaoyan caught sight of a cluster of individuals from Snow Territory and recognized someone strikingly familiar among them.
