Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 1791 Collaboration 2

?

Upon hearing that it would be a performance, Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin began considering the proposal more seriously. Ouyang Mingjing's plan relied on Phoenix Girl agreeing to work with them.

Although Ouyang Mingjing appeared composed on the surface, internally he was filled with bitter laughter. He had always believed that he would go to Snow Territory as the City Lord and marry Phoenix Girl. However, he hadn't anticipated that he would have to deceive her in order to bring her to Snow Territory, where he would finally meet his future wife.

Ouyang Mingjing felt a pang of distress.

As Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin contemplated the proposition, now aware that it would be a performance, they started to consider the potential arrangement.

Ouyang Mingjing required Phoenix Girl's involvement due to her special social status, while they sought the Fire Lotus that could cure her profound poison.

It appeared to be a proposal worth considering.

After carefully pondering the possibilities, Zhou Huaijin turned to Gu Chaoyan and nodded. "If that's what you require, City Lord, Chaoyan and I will accompany you to Snow Territory. We will assist in stabilizing the situation there in exchange for the Fire Lotus."

Ouyang Mingjing smiled and nodded in approval. "Excellent. I will begin making the necessary arrangements. Your Majesty and Phoenix Girl, please prepare for the journey to Snow Territory. It is a turbulent place, and I would like to return there as soon as possible, without wasting any time."

"Understood," Zhou Huaijin acknowledged.

Ouyang Mingjing rose from his seat and bid farewell, departing from the palace.

The matter had been resolved, and it no longer seemed as daunting as before.

However, Ouyang Mingjing couldn't find solace in the outcome. He was overwhelmed with distress.

He experienced a sense of helplessness, akin to when he confronted the rebellious Elder Men.

This feeling was detestable to him, utterly unbearable.

Nevertheless…

Upon exiting the palace, he didn't return to the hostel as planned. Instead, he proceeded to Duke North Mansion with his entourage, following through with his original intentions.

The poison within Phoenix Girl had surfaced prematurely, indicating that she had been set up. Considering her recent movements, Duke North Mansion was the sole location she had visited in the past two days. Thus, it was undoubtedly the source of the predicament.

His subordinates had conducted a thorough investigation, confirming Duke North's incompetence.

As the leader, Ouyang Mingjing adhered to the principles of the Saint Divine Land, not Snow Territory. He couldn't simply take a man's life at will. Nevertheless, he intended to enlighten that fool about the extent of his own stupidity.

The manager promptly relayed Ouyang Mingjing's arrival at Duke North Mansion directly to Duke North.

Zheng Chenyi was taken aback upon receiving the news.

"Why is he here?" he wondered aloud.

Could it be that he wanted to collaborate, similar to Piaomiao Pavilion?

Zheng Chenyi sneered in response.

Indeed, when one held a certain degree of power, everyone seemed to flock to their side.

Wasn't that precisely what Ouyang Mingjing was attempting to do?
