1686 End of the Throne 2

“Haven’t you noticed? The Shadow Door is able to wander freely in the court and save people as they wish, whilst the King can do nothing about it. He is trying to keep himself safe first!”

“…”

“The Phoenix Girl doesn’t care about him, as you have seen.”

“…”

“As far as I can tell, the Saint Divine Land will have a new King. This one is arrogant but has no competence. He is not able to keep the throne!”

!!

“…”

“The Head of the Shadow Door is Lord Huai, and Lord Huai is engaged to the Phoenix Girl. We can’t attack them directly, or we will never be able to get the Golden Rolls.”

“…”

“We have to work on other methods.”

“…”

“Wuxing, you have to spend more time on Lingyun. Maybe we will need her help to reach our goal,” Elder Qianji said emotionally.

Piaomiao Pavilion was not in a good position to do anything right now which rarely happened to them.

They were not going to spend any more time with the King. They were going to think of other ways to continue.

Well…

He did not care who took the throne of the Saint Divine Land. Piaomiao Pavilion did not need the Saint Divine Land.

As they were talking, a guard from Piaomiao Pavilion came and said, “Elder Qianji, Guardian Wuxing, the prisoners were all saved by people from the Shadow Door and they were not hurt.”

“Got it.” Elder Qianji answered as he said to Wuxing. “See, just as I predicted.”

Wuxing nodded.

He felt somehow distressed.

On the way here, they ran into the Phoenix Girl and her servants, but Lingyun did not even look at him. He gave Lingyun a hint, but Lingyun did not answer him. He seemed to be missing from her eyes.

He felt very bothered.

He was sure that Lingyun would do anything for his sake, but right now, he has become quite uncertain.

He felt his heart falling into confusion as the Elder mentioned this again.

“What is it, Wuxing?” Elder Qianji noticed Wuxing’s strange expression.

“Nothing.” Wuxing forced a smile, thinking that he should find a better time to speak with Lingyun once again.

Elder Qianji did not suspect anything so far. He nodded and didn’t say anything else, after hearing the positive answer from Wuxing.

He firmly believed that Wuxing would be able to manipulate Lingyun. She would not only whisper into the Phoenix Girl’s ears, but would also sacrifice her whole life for him.

She was the easiest woman to use and deal with, but she was in a low position, otherwise Wuxing could definitely marry her.

That was what Elder Qianji thought, but he didn’t say it. Wuxing was a smart guy and he should have already thought of that, there was no need to remind him.

At Xinlin Mansion.

Gu Chaoyan saw Sword Two coming to her when she returned from the palace gate.

That only meant one thing – something new happened with Qing.

Gu Chaoyan ma.s.saged her temples, saying, “Go on.”
