Gu Chaoyan was about to pass by him, but Elder Qianji stopped her. He looked as if he had known what would happen. He said to Gu Chaoyan, confidently, "Phoenix Girl, what is your n?"


    "…"


    "Make a deal with me, so that you won''t be bothered. Now you can only work with us, or you will lose a great deal," Elder Qianji said confidently.


    The King would definitely not agree with her, and she would not get any support. In the end, she would be put in a dilemma.


    He was willing to make the deal with her, and he was like a saving straw. He did not think that the Phoenix Girl would turn him down.


    Gu Chaoyan sized him up carefully.


    It seemed that he knew clearly what might happen, and he was sure that she would say yes to his request.


    It seemed that he had predicted what the King would say to her… Why?


    However…


    Well… he was not going to get what he wanted.


    Because he kept wanting her to bring out the Golden Rolls, she was sure that she was not going to say a word about the Golden Rolls to people from Piaomiao Pavilion.


    The Golden Rolls were missing, but few people knew that.


    She had hesitated whether she should talk to those schools about the Golden Rolls.


    However… it seemed that she was not going to do things like this.


    Gu Chaoyan looked at Elder Qianji, shaking her head. "Elder Qianji, please go back to your court and have a rest. Stop wasting time here with me. I am not going to make a deal with you."


    "…"


    "Please," Gu Chaoyan said coldly.


    Elder Qianji had almost burst out that they were going to have a deal, when he heard Gu Chaoyan''s words. He was in total disbelief.


    She was not willing to do so even at this point?<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    That was impossible!


    When Elder Qianji was about to confirm, Gu Chaoyan was already gone.


    Elder Qianji was surprised.


    She was too young, after all. She had no idea what was good for her.


    He was going to see how much longer she could hold.


    Nothing would change with the King, and the Cangyan Door had reached a deal with Piaomiao Pavilion about reading the Golden Rolls together rather than contacting the Phoenix Girl separately. He did not need to worry about the Snow Territory, because what he wanted was to marry the Phoenix Girl, and she could be taken away when she was at her lowest.


    The situation was settled, and it was clear how things were going to go.


    She would have no way out.


    It would just take a few more days before she changed her mind.


    Elder Qianji flung his sleeves and wondered how much longer she was going to hold on.


    He returned to the court, displeased.


    ***


    Gu Chaoyan went onto the wagon and was about to head back to Xinlin Mansion, when a voice arose behind her back. "Feng Le!"


    Him again!


    Gu Chaoyan knew who it was when she heard the voice. Only two people called her Feng Le, and one of them was outside the court.


    Gu Chaoyan did not want to have anything to do with him since what happenedst time.


    "Feng Le, hey!" Ouyang Mingjing shouted again, as he approached Gu Chaoyan.
