Chapter 1076: Destiny Monk


    The hidden guard got startled.


    He was extremely frightened and started to panic. After all, the rules at Shadow Door were very strict.


    The Head was Lord Huai so he had the right to hear everything. They were used to serving the Lord only, that was why they behaved like this.


    He had not expected that the Head would be so strict.


    He understood what was going on here, so he kneeled down in front of Gu Chaoyan. “Lady Chaoyan, please, it is my fault.”


    Gu Chaoyan nodded.


    “Just get up and tell me what is going on,” Gu Chaoyan said coldly.


    She did not show any other emotion on her face, but remained cold. She did not help the hidden guard to get up or plead forgiveness for him.


    He had made the mistake so he should be punished. There were rules at Shadow Door, which she was not going to interfere with.


    The hidden guard thought of the message and said, “Please, Head and Lady Chaoyan, the Destiny Monk has been found.”


    Destiny Monk?


    Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan exchanged a look between themselves. They were both very surprised.


    The King, Zhou Huailing and their men had been looking for Destiny Monk for months, and no one, not even the hidden guards of Shadow Door, had found a trace of him. He would show no trace of his appearance unless it was on his own, but now, he had been found.


    Zhou Huaijin asked, “The King’s men found him?”


    “No, Destiny Monk returned to Putuo Temple himself.” The hidden guard answered.


    Zhou Huaijin nodded.


    That was reasonable.


    Destiny Monk only appeared when he wanted to appear, otherwise he would always be missing.


    However, after Destiny Monk returned things would be different in the capital.


    Zhou Huaijin had observed too that Destiny Monk only appeared at the ces where things happened.


    So...


    He was back in the capital...


    So something was going to happen in the capital?


    It was both good and bad news that Destiny Monk was back.


    They had to wait and see what would happenter.


    Zhou Huaijin asked the hidden guard to leave first.


    He was going to bring Gu Chaoyan back to the Xinlin Mansion.


    “I don’t think that the King and the Crown Prince will stay still these days,” Gu Chaoyan said as she headed towards the mansion.


    “There is no use for them to panic. They just need to see what Destiny Monk has to say,” Zhou Huaijin said calmly.


    Gu Chaoyan nodded, but...


    No one was going to have a peaceful life in the capital if the King and the Crown Prince were panicking.


    ***


    At that moment...


    At the Qianqing Pce.


    The King heard the news too.


    He looked extremely delighted. “Really?”


    “Yes, Destiny Monk is back at Putuo Temple and he has been seen by many civilians.”


    “Go ask him toe to the court. I need to speak with him,” the King said.


    “Yes”


    The servant left.


    The King looked very delighted.


    Destiny Monk’s return meant everything. It meant that whatever he had nned was brimming with hope.


    Especially when it came to the Phoenix Girl.
