Ms. Doctor Divine

However, his worries were not solely altruistic. It was partly due to his own self-serving motives.

The reason Qing accidentally consumed Acacia beans was that Ouyang Mingjing hadn\'t anticipated Gu Chaoyan\'s generosity in allowing Qing to share her food. It was a testament to how well Gu Chaoyan treated her servants, considering them as sisters rather than mere maids. Furthermore, Gu Chaoyan had supported Qing and helped her find solace at the temple even after Qing\'s "betrayal." This demonstrated Gu Chaoyan\'s genuine care for Qing.

But now…

Could Gu Chaoyan have suddenly discovered Qing\'s departure from the temple?

If that were the case, it would pose a challenging situation to handle.

Selfishly, Ouyang Mingjing hoped that Qing had followed him back to Snow Territory, rather than remaining here. If Qing was discovered, she would be unable to stay.

Longqing departed to fulfill the order, while Ouyang Mingjing anxiously clasped his hands together, suggesting that the troops take a break while awaiting news and formulating a plan.

Gu Chaoyan, aware of the synchronized movements between Piaomiao Pavilion and Snow Territory, soon caught sight of individuals from Piaomiao Pavilion.

Unaware of Phoenix Girl\'s purpose for being there, members of Piaomiao Pavilion were perplexed.

Meanwhile, Qianji inside the wagon also became aware of Phoenix Girl\'s approach, adding to the unfolding situation.

Darkness suddenly dissipated from Qianji\'s face. Was Phoenix Girl harboring regrets or seeking to establish an alliance by offering Golden Rolls?

That would have been a remarkable turn of events!

Qianji forcefully struck his legs, signaling for the wagon to halt.

Stepping out of the wagon, Qianji approached Gu Chaoyan, who was riding towards them.

Not far away, the Cangyan Door, though uninvolved, noticed the unfolding situation. Sensing a potential connection to the Golden Rolls, they decided to pause and observe.

"Hello, Phoenix Girl, what brings you here?" Qianji greeted with a friendly smile, showcasing his adept social skills.

"I have a few inquiries," Gu Chaoyan responded, her expression devoid of emotion but emanating a hint of sharpness. Her gaze remained fixed on Qianji. "Duke North\'s lifeless body was discovered in the yard where you were residing. Piaomiao Pavilion, it is imperative that you provide an explanation. It was Duke North who perished, but innocent lives should not be destroyed in this manner."

"…"

"If you don\'t tell me what is going on, Piaomiao Pavilion should never be allowed to leave our territory." Gu Chaoyan interrogated.

Qianji\'s joy disappeared.

He had thought that she was here to talk about Golden Rolls and alliance.
