Chapter 1839 - 1839 On Her

1839 On Her

Even if Qing had asked for too much, it should have been Snow Territory’s responsibility to handle the situation.

They had drugged Qing, causing her to lose control due to their plan. Why didn’t they take responsibility for their actions?

...

Snow Territory and its City Lord were the ones who committed all these terrible deeds.

And now, they were blaming Qing for asking too much and using the City Lord’s helplessness as an excuse?

They were truly shameless individuals, worse than those from Piaomiao Pavilion.

Gu Chaoyan sneered. “Is that the justification you offer for all these heinous acts?”

“…”

“The Acacia beans were your plan, and you killed Qing. These are undeniable facts,” Gu Chaoyan declared resolutely, showing no signs of backing down.

“…”

“Yes, Qing was a servant, a maid, but she grew up with me. She was kind, devoted, and a living being. She was not something that could be traded for money or treasure. Elder Man, surely you understand the value of a life shared with another, don’t you?”

The Elder Man involuntarily flinched.

Gu Chaoyan’s gaze was piercing, and even he couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear.

They had treated the girl far too callously.

They had assumed that she was nothing more than a servant, and killing her would sever the City Lord’s ties with her.

However, they had not anticipated the accident unfolding in this manner.

Phoenix Girl had witnessed everything and grasped the situation, placing them at a significant disadvantage.

She had already been furious about the guards mistreating their own subordinates, and now she was further agitated.

Things might not proceed as smoothly as they had hoped.

The Elder Man grew increasingly concerned.

But…

Fortunately, they had already reached Snow Territory’s domain, and despite her anger, she wouldn’t dare to make any significant moves.

The City Lord had made the right decision this time.

“Phoenix Girl, you are overly agitated. Take some time to think things through, and then we can discuss further,” the Elder Man evaded Gu Chaoyan’s question and stated.

He then departed.

Before leaving, he instructed Longqing to assign more guards to keep a close watch on Phoenix Girl in case of any unforeseen incidents.

They were determined to bring her to Snow Territory, regardless of the circumstances.

That would be their next step.

Gu Chaoyan entered the wagon, her anger palpable as she trembled with fury.

Qing was an incredibly important person to her, and now…

Her anger burned within her.

But she managed to regain her composure and instructed, “Inform Sword Two to find out where they have placed Qing’s body.”

“…”

“Take a rest for the night and try not to dwell on this too much.”

“…”

“Tell everyone to stay put. I am here,” Gu Chaoyan reassured Sword One.

Sword One nodded, tears still glistening in her eyes.

Gu Chaoyan wiped away her own tears with her sleeves and commanded, “Go.”

That same night…

The atmosphere was hushed and heavy.

It felt different from any other night, despite being the same night. Many couldn’t find sleep, their minds burdened by what had befallen Qing.

As the dawn approached, the guards from Snow Territory urged them to continue the journey, seemingly eager to reach the town of Snow Territory as swiftly as possible.

Just as Gu Chaoyan had stepped onto the wagon…

She felt another familiar gaze upon her.
