1529 Forces
The King would just call her Lady Chaoyan if everything was fine. And he would always keep his distance from her. After all, Gu Chaoyan was the last person he expected to be the Phoenix Girl.
However, now the King still called her the Phoenix Girl in a serious tone.
Because he was very nervous about what Destiny Monk said. He had no idea what to do.
The door to enchantment was opened…
And there were forces outside the four lands that still existed. That was something the King had never expected. Otherwise he would have believed that with the Phoenix Girl in the Saint Divine Land, he would become the King of the whole world.
Destiny Monk had just left Qianqing Palace before Gu Chaoyan came, and that was what he told the King.
Gu Chaoyan was nervous too, but she was not as confused as the King.
Long before that… Huang Fu already told her what Golden Roll was and how the world outside the door to enchantment was like.
There would be one day when things came, but it was faster than Gu Chaoyan expected.
They had not found the Golden Roll.
“When did Destiny Monk say that they would arrive?” Gu Chaoyan asked seriously.
“Not sure.” The King answered.
Gu Chaoyan nodded, not too surprised.
She had spent some time with Destiny Monk, and she knew what he was capable of. He could do some things, but he did not really know the future.
“Then we can talk when it arrives,” Gu Chaoyan said coldly. She did not think that there was any more reason to stay in the court. She got up and said, “If there is nothing else, I will go back to the Gu Mansion.”
The King stopped as he saw Gu Chaoyan leaving, “You can just stay in the court since that is more convenient.”
Judging from how the Crown Prince reacted, he knew clearly that Gu Mansion could be of no help even if the Phoenix Girl stayed at the Gu Mansion.
If that was the case… she could stay in the court, under his control. It would be much easier for him to do other things.
And Gu Mansion…
Well, they should start to think if they could be of any help.
They had not achieved anything after being given so many opportunities.
Gu Chaoyan did not even think before turning him down. “I will go back to the Gu Mansion. You said that I should stay at the Gu Mansion. I don’t think that the court is a better place for me. People might think that Gu Mansion has done something wrong.”
“Then the Crown Prince will accompany you home.” The King added, telling the Crown Prince to escort her.
“Yes.” Zhou Huailing answered.
Gu Chaoyan frowned.
The King and Zhou Huailing had all of their plans right in the open. Gu Chaoyan could see through them completely.
She felt disgusted by them.
“The Shadow Door is very difficult to get in touch with. Crown Prince, you better give the order as soon as possible,” Gu Chaoyan said quietly.
Then she turned around and walked out of Qianqing Palace.
The King’s expression sank, feeling very displeased by how Gu Chaoyan behaved towards him. She might be the Phoenix Girl, but he was the King!
“Don’t worry. She is just a woman,” yhe King said with displeasure. Then he turned to De Fu. “Make sure Lord Huai stays away from the Phoenix Girl, and…”
