Ms. Doctor Divine

Yet, Duan Feng still shared pertinent information with her.

However…

It only heightened her sense of pressure.

Nonetheless, it didn\'t matter. She possessed unwavering confidence.

Upon their departure from the auction house, Zhou Huaijin pointed towards a different path. "Let\'s take a stroll over here."

Gu Chaoyan smiled.

Huang Fu had returned, and she had finally had a chance to rest.

It was only now that she realized she and Huaijin hadn\'t had a proper conversation amidst the recent tumultuous events.

She reached out for his sleeves.

Regardless of how long they had been together, Gu Chaoyan always felt a touch of shyness in front of Zhou Huaijin.

Zhou Huaijin laughed warmly, took hold of her hands, and embraced her tightly.

"Don\'t burden yourself too much over the authority token. If necessary, simply raise your voice as loudly as you can. I am here for everything," Zhou Huaijin assured her.

"I understand," Gu Chaoyan replied. With him by her side, she felt reassured.

He may lack magical power or cultivation, but somehow, he had the ability to infuse magic into every aspect of their lives.

"What\'s happening with your Master?" Zhou Huaijin inquired of Dao Seeking. Whenever her Master was mentioned, Zhou Huaijin couldn\'t help but feel a tinge of jealousy.

Chaoyan was kind and nurturing.

Sword One and Lingyun, who stood by her side, were always under her watchful care and concern. He had no qualms about that.

But her Master stirred a hint of jealousy within him.

Gu Chaoyan had never intended to conceal the truth about Huang Fu. Otherwise, she wouldn\'t have entrusted him with their well-being in the Snow Territory.

However, unexpectedly, they had yet to meet him.

Gu Chaoyan didn\'t know what to say about Huang Fu.

She had hoped to have a chance encounter so they could discuss the matter in detail.

But the opportunity never seemed to present itself.

He had missed Huaijin\'s visit to the court.

Huang Fu had been absent these past two days, and their yearning for each other only grew stronger.

"I happened to run into him once. He appears and disappears like a shadow. I\'ll make sure to arrange a meeting between you two next time we see him," Gu Chaoyan assured him.

"Alright," Zhou Huaijin replied, feeling somewhat relieved.

Although he felt jealous, he decided not to dwell on it any longer.

Since it was a rare occasion for them to stroll together, they chose to enjoy their walk instead of constantly bringing up that man.

They didn\'t return until much later.

—

When they arrived at the Haitian Auction House, it was the day of the authority token auction.

The place was bustling with a constant flow of people, all jostling to get in.

It was a rare sight for the Haitian Auction House.

Gu Chaoyan had never seen such a spectacle before.

Standing at the entrance, she felt overwhelmed. She had no idea how to navigate through the crowd. There were simply too many people.

After a while, a guard approached them. "Lady Chaoyan, please follow me inside. This is a side entrance that is usually closed, but today is a special occasion."
