1715 Out of Court 4
Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin calmly rose from their seats after hearing the report from the hidden guard. They exchanged a knowing glance, understanding the situation at hand.
Zhou Huaijin wore a helpless smile, while Gu Chaoyan maintained his composed demeanor. They were prepared for this outcome and knew they had to handle it with tact and diplomacy.
Side by side, Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin walked out of the room, ready to face the situation head-on, fully aware of the challenges that lay ahead.
As they walked towards their destination, Gu Chaoyan said, “Piaomiao Pavilion is not only wild and arrogant, but is also very persistent with Golden Rolls. They can’t be driven out easily. Hidden guards from Shadow Door are very capable, but Piaomiao Pavilion has all kinds of magical weapons. There is no need to get our men hurt in vain. I will speak with them clearly, and that should settle a lot of things.”
” “…”
“I have observed that Piaomiao Pavilion may possess capabilities, but it seems they are hesitant to take any action against me. Perhaps it is because they are wary of provoking Phoenix Girl,” Gu Chaoyan remarked, displaying her understanding of the situation.
Zhou Huaijin nodded in agreement, acknowledging the significance of her words.
Upon their arrival, a tense atmosphere engulfed the scene as Piaomiao Pavilion and Fu Bao exchanged fierce glares, clearly displaying their discontentment.
Upon witnessing the arrival of Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan together, Qianji felt the weight of their presence. He confronted them with a tone of interrogation, demanding an explanation for the proposed relocation to hostels.
Zhou Huaijin, maintaining his composure, responded calmly, “According to the rules of the Saint Divine Land, amba.s.sadors are expected to reside in the hostels.”
Qianji’s frustration grew evident as he retorted, “We have been here for an extended period, and now you want to drive us out? New King, you are displaying a lack of respect. However, we have no intention of showing you any respect either!”
” “…”
“The door to enchantment is wide open, and monsters and witches are reigning over your land. None of you are cultivating your skills. Yes, you possess weapons and martial arts, but do you believe that alone is enough to vanquish the monsters? Even the minor ones can overrun your towns, let alone the intermediate-cla.s.s monsters. We, the members of Piaomiao Pavilion, are all seasoned pract.i.tioners, equipped with magical weapons, pills, and more. Only with our a.s.sistance can your land have even the slightest semblance of protection!”
” “…”
“But you are driving us away directly, and we will never have any chance to work together in future!”
“….”
“Just think about this clearly.” Qianji threatened Zhou Huaijin with the potential consequences.
Zhou Huaijin nodded calmly hearing what he said. “The hostels are ready.”
Qianji was shocked.
So he was not going to befriend Piaomiao Pavilion, ever?
Zhou Huaijin still looked calm.
What this man said was true.
However…
He knew clearly about one thing.
Those were just something that might happen. When monsters invaded the land, Piaomiao Pavilion would definitely not offer any help.
Then in this case, it would be better to show the att.i.tude now.
Qianji sneered.
Well, well, well!
Very well.
In this way, he was going to let this new King suffer, so he would know what was going on.
The new King, consumed by his own hubris, believed himself to be invincible and regarded no one else with favor.
As the situation unfolded, Piaomiao Pavilion and the Saint Divine Land were now irreversibly estranged.
Behind Qianji, Wuxing noticed Lingyun standing behind Gu Chaoyan, and a glimmer of intrigue sparked in his eyes.
