Chapter 755: A Personal Visit

“Nothing serious. It is just that Gu Ruxue could not stand me calling out the phoenix, since her title as the Phoenix Girl is affected, so she asked Gu Zhenkang to come to my place, begging me to give the phoenix to them instead,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly. She did not really care about what happened.

They would never get the phoenix from her, and she was never going to offer it to them either.

She had been prepared for this move when she called out the phoenix.

People seemed to be firmly sure about the belief of the Phoenix Girl, and the King had already shown great ambition because of this so-called Phoenix Girl.

When something had too much influence upon one country, something else needed to appear to keep the balance. And the phoenix was something Gu Chaoyan would like to bring out to keep the balance. And she had already planned everything for herself. So she was definitely not going to give it to Gu Ruxue.

When Zhou Huaijin heard about that, he shook his head as if he had anticipated that. So he dropped the topic of the phoenix. Instead, he said, “Everything is arranged properly in the town. Now we have seen the giant serpent, and Xiu Jie ran into some big ape. This basically means that something strange is happening or is going to happen. I am afraid that something else like that will pop up again, but mother is living at the foot of the mountain, so I have sent some hidden guards to protect her, she will be fine.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

That was good. Mr. Zhao’s drug would only work after 118 days, and there were still more than 60 days remaining before that drug started to work. So they had to add more forces there rather than bringing the Queen out of the town.

“Also, I did not expect that the King would come up with a solution for Xunyang’s matter,” Zhou Huaijin said, wearing a very amused expression on his face.

Gu Chaoyan was drinking tea when she heard this. She looked up at Zhou Huaijin curiously.

She had thought that the King might cause a big fuss about that, but he had come up with a solution, unexpectedly.

Gu Chaoyan was curious.

“They say that they are arranging a selection for new girls, but they plan to find a girl who looks like Xunyang for Xuan Lin,” Zhou Huaijin said.

Gu Chaoyan smiled. She had not expected that the King could have come up with such a tricky idea. He did make a lot of effort.

That was good, as long as they could solve what happened to Xunyang, then all would be fine.

“I don’t think the King thought of this idea himself,” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile.

“It was Honored Princess Jing.” Zhou Huaijin answered.

The two of them smiled ironically.

When Zhou Huaijin was done with what he wanted to say to her, he did not leave directly. He had wanted to stay a bit longer at Gu Chaoyan’s place, because the Prince of North Qi had been pestering him from the day before, asking him about the phoenix all the time. Zhou Huaijin had no intention of getting involved with him, so he was avoiding him.

They were just drinking the tea, when Qing hurried to them. “Elder Miss, Lord Ling is here!”

When Gu Chaoyan heard the news, Zhou Huailing and Gu Ruxue had already approached them.

Zhou Huailing had many guards with him, so the guards and Qing were simply not able to stop them, and they broke in directly.

Zhou Huailing was very surprised at the sight of Zhou Huaijin, but believed that it was a good thing that his brother was here.

“Eighth Brother, you are here too? Good, you can help us make a judgment regarding what we are going to talk about with Lady Chaoyan,” Zhou Huailing said with a reasonable expression on his face..
