1416 Opening of the Door to Enchantment 2

And they were witnessing the opening of the door to enchantment of ancient time.

Destiny Monk was following her movements.

The King was both nervous and excited. He was swallowing down spit as he tried to maintain his manners as the King.

The other ministers and officers were all watching it, but they were thinking about all kinds of things inside.

!!

And the Gu Family were all smiling. They were just waiting for the door to enchantment to open so that the whole family could be awarded and become the biggest family in the whole city!

Gu Ruxue was very nervous as she approached the magical ball.

She was very certain that she was the Phoenix Girl.

She was a daughter of the Gu Family, the most excellent one. Her mother was born in an officer’s family and was the wife of the Gu Family. So only she was qualified enough to take this t.i.tle.

Also… at her Adulthood Ceremony, she witnessed hundreds of birds flying about, pa.s.sing on happiness to her.

Only the Phoenix Girl would bring such auspicious omens, right?

She was the Phoenix Girl.

She was definitely going to open the door to enchantment.

Gu Ruxue felt nervous and excited.

She put her hands upon the magical ball.

Gently and resolutely.

Everyone turned to the door to enchantment.

The Phoenix Girl’s hand was on the ball, and the door to enchantment should open soon.

One quarter pa.s.sed, and then two. The door to enchantment was still closed.

Everyone was surprised and confused.

The King gasped. Zhou Huailing was panicking – what was going on?

The Gu Family were all very nervous, and the officers and the ministers were all wearing complicated expressions.

Only Destiny Monk turned to Gu Chaoyan instead. So if Gu Ruxue was not the Phoenix Girl, then would Gu Chaoyan be the one? She was also born in the Gu Family. If she was the Phoenix Girl, then she would be the most suitable one he would want to see. Although either from the aspect of the strange weather or other things, Gu Ruxue should be the one, theoretically speaking.

Only the Phoenix Girl would be able to make hundreds of birds fly towards her. So before, Destiny Monk believed that Gu Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl, but now, he was sure that Gu Chaoyan should be the one instead.

However, everyone was watching Gu Ruxue. They did not notice how Destiny Monk looked at Gu Chaoyan.

Destiny Monk soon stopped looking at Gu Chaoyan.

“Destiny Monk, what is going on? Why is the door to enchantment closed? Is something wrong?” The King panicked. He was so busy watching the door to enchantment that he had no idea what to do.

Destiny Monk was about to talk, but Gu Ruxue did not give him any time to make an explanation. She said anxiously, “My King, maybe the hand is not right. Let me try my left hand.”

Gu Ruxue’s words made people let out a sigh of relief. They all nodded in agreement.

The King believed so too. He took a deep breath. “Probably.”

Zhou Huailing already lost his patience. He put Gu Ruxue’s left hand on the ball. “Try it now. The door to enchantment has to open today!”

When the left hand was on the magical ball…

One quarter pa.s.sed… yet the door to enchantment was still closed.

Gu Ruxue panicked.

So did the King and the Gu Family. They had no idea what to do.

Zhou Huailing had an even worse expression on his face.

Junyi next to Zhou Huailing sounded calm and steady as he said, “There must be an important reason why the Crown Prince Consort drew hundreds of birds to her before.”
