1532 Lord Huai in Court


    “It separated the other human races with spells from the demon and witch races, and gave the people of these four countries a stable life. However, the aura of the door to the enchantment will eventually dissipate slowly, and now it is the time. When the aura of the door dissipates. The door to enchantment will disappear and the Phoenix Girl will enter the world, protecting people of these four countries.”


    “…”


    “But…” Huang Fu paused, without continuing. After a long silence, Huang Fu continued. “The door to enchantment disappeared, but it is not yet known to the demon race. So that half-witty Monk has predicted the forces from human races.”


    “…”


    “They are here for the Golden Rolls as well.”


    “…”


    “But the Golden Rolls were gone before the door to enchantment was opened. Taken by someone ahead of time.”


    Huang Fu paused as he stared at Gu Chaoyan again. “That is all I can tell you now.”


    Gu Chaoyan was thinking through all of this, and felt quite confused, since the Golden Rolls were missing.


    The four countries were just the tip of the iceberg. Then what was life like outside the door to enchantment? Gu Chaoyan felt so confused and bothered.


    Having said that, Huang Fu seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled brightly as he stared right into Gu Chaoyan’s eyes. He put on an air and said, “Now I have told you all of this, are you going to kiss me now?”


    Gu Chaoyan was brought back to herself after hearing this. She frowned deeply as she sized up Huang Fu.


    She was about to speak wearing that serious look.


    Huang Fuughed with an evilness. “I am just joking.”


    “…”


    “The herbs are ripe. I am going to pick them. You can leave now,” Huang Fu said seriously.


    Gu Chaoyan had to stop herself from saying anything, then she nodded.


    She said seriously, “Thanks.”


    Then turned around and left the space.


    Huang Fu showed a look of dissatisfaction the moment Gu Chaoyan left the space. “Still the same as before.”


    Gu Chaoyan sat down at the table after she left the space.


    She had guessed that there might be other forces outside the door to enchantment, because the magical monsters the North Qi had belonged to those species, but what worried her was that things seemed moreplicated than she had foreseen outside the door to enchantment.


    She had no idea what she was going to face next.


    Who took the Golden Rolls? Where was the thief? What was on the Golden Rolls?


    Why were those forces here to fetch the Golden Rolls? What would have happened, if they had not known anything about the existence of the Golden Rolls?


    Golden Rolls…


    Damn… Gu Chaoyan massaged her temples and felt a heavy headache.


    ***


    The following day…


    Heat dominated thend again after a short while.


    Early in the morning, Lord Huai received the imperial order that summoned him to the court.


    “Lord Huai.” Fu Bao looked at Zhou Huaijin, who seemed distracted.


    Zhou Huaijin sneered as he looked at the imperial order. “He is using all means he can just for the sake of the Crown Prince. The guards outside the mansion and the imperial order… he just can’t wait.”


    Having said that, Zhou Huaijin got up directly. “Let’s go to court.”


    Fu Bao threw a worried look at Zhou Huaijin.
