Ouyang Mingjing raised his head and looked at the Elder earnestly.


    "I know that you are a gentleman, and don''t want to use this method to get the Phoenix Girl back to the Snow Territory, but this is about more than just you. It is about everyone from the Snow Territory. A real gentleman should think about the whole Snow Territory, not just your own heart."


    "…"


    "We only have three months. You have to bring the Phoenix Girl back to the Snow Territory so that people from the Snow Territory will be safe. Or the Snow Territory will be doomed and you can''t bear such consequences."


    "…"


    "Use the Acacia beans, as soon as possible." The Elder said to Ouyang Mingjing.


    Ouyang Mingjing had aplicated look on his face then he nodded.


    He understood what the Elder meant. He knew pretty well that he was out of control. He was the Head and his mission was to take the Phoenix Girl back home.


    He spoke with the guards in a small voice, so the whole n was made.


    ***


    Stories about Lord Huai were spread all over the capital, and people started to talk about this vividly during the past few days.


    However, another incident happened in the capital rapidly, and terror arose among every civilian. Underparison, Lord Huai''s stories seemed minor.


    Sword Three rushed to Xinlin Mansion when he heard the news.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Gu Chaoyan looked totally worried. "How many people are injured? Did the monsters run away? What exactly happened?"


    "Elder Miss, 30 people are injured, and 12 died, 10 are in a deepa, the rest are slightly injured. Monsters hurt people and they all ran away, none were caught. It happened just a couple of hours ago, and the capital has no one on the street, because everyone is so worried," Sword Three said honestly.


    Gu Chaoyan was about to get up when Qing and Xiu Jie rushed in. "Elder Miss, please, we have civilians outside the door making a fuss. They say they need the Phoenix Girl''s protection!"


    Gu Chaoyan frowned slightly.


    She had never believed that trusting the Phoenix Girl was good. Sure enough, when monsters hurt people, what mattered was to inform those at the court, but everyone was gathered here, hoping that the Phoenix Girl would solve everything.


    "Let''s go and take a look," Gu Chaoyan said, and asked Sword One to fetch her kit, before hurrying out.


    Seeing the door open, the civilians all kneeled down excitedly, "Please, Phoenix Girl, bless us!"


    Many people already lit incense and asked for blessings.


    Gu Chaoyan sighed and went to the wagon.


    Xiu Jie exined at the door. "Our Elder Miss is already going out to cure those injured people, please leave now, Elder Miss will speak with the court about dealing with the monsters."


    However, they ignored Xiu Jie and continued with the worship.


    People who were injured by monsters were under treatment in different clinics in the capital, which wasn''t a good sign. So the moment Gu Chaoyan arrived at the clinic, she said, "Transfer every patient to my ce."
