Ms. Doctor Divine

"We possess powerful magical weapons and pills. They are highly effective, and we have the largest quantity of them among all the schools."

"…"

"We don\'t require much from Snow Territory, only the Golden Rolls. In return, we can supply you with as many magical weapons and pills as you need."

"…"

"What are your thoughts on this?" Qianji spoke with unwavering confidence.

Having learned about the infighting within Snow Territory, Qianji had acquired a valuable bargaining chip. He could exploit this information to strike a deal with the City Lord.

It became clear why the City Lord personally went to retrieve Phoenix Girl—it was all connected to the internal strife.

Any faction plagued by infighting would eventually crumble, regardless of its initial strength.

Snow Territory might find themselves desperate for assistance.

Qianji felt assured in his understanding of the City Lord\'s motivations. He believed he had seen through the City Lord\'s intentions.

Ouyang Mingjing felt a certain unease as he observed Qianji\'s manner of speaking, as if he had figured out Snow Territory\'s objectives. While Piaomiao Pavilion was undoubtedly powerful, they displayed a rather narrow-minded perspective. Such was the nature of the Elder Men and those alike.

Ouyang Mingjing had no interest in collaborating with Piaomiao Pavilion.

Maintaining a composed expression, he responded to Qianji without any emotion, "Qianji, Elderly Man, that is a dreadful suggestion."

We are currently occupied with pressing matters," Ouyang Mingjing stated plainly before turning and making his way back to his inner chamber. He had no intention of wasting any more time with Qianji.

Qianji\'s confident demeanor faltered upon hearing Ouyang Mingjing\'s response, and his expression became complex. He was far from pleased, but he exerted great effort to suppress his anger, refraining from displaying it to Ouyang Mingjing. Qianji understood that he could express his anger to certain individuals, but not to everyone—definitely not to Ouyang Mingjing or Phoenix Girl. However, Duke North had been an exception, as he was no longer of use.

With a dismissive wave of his sleeves, Qianji departed in a fit of anger once Ouyang Mingjing was out of sight. Wuxing accompanied him.

Once they were outside, Wuxing inquired, "Elder Man, what should we do? City Lord has shown no interest in working with us!"

Qianji\'s mood was sour, and he let out a snort while flinging his sleeves in frustration. He replied with anger in his voice, "There\'s nothing we can do. We can barely decipher the Golden Rolls! Phoenix Girl won\'t offer us any assistance!"

"…"

"If Lingyun were willing to help us, everything would be fine. But she does not work for us. This is our last chance, and we must…"
