He even stationed a few guards outside, ensuring that no one could eavesdrop on their conversations. Living in such close proximity to Piaomiao Pavilion, they remained uncertain if the eyes of Piaomiao Pavilion were constantly monitoring them. Although they had reached an agreement with Piaomiao Pavilion previously, their values and affiliations were distinct. Thus, caution was essential when dealing with them. Snow Territory, on the other hand, had no interest in resorting to such tactics.


    With everything settled, the Elder Man from the Cangyan Door entered the room, exuding a sense of reassurance.


    Spotting Mu Ning, he inquired, "Young Head, please enlighten us with your n."


    Mu Ning nodded.


    This was not a n he had meticulously devised over an extended period.


    A few days ago, Piaomiao Pavilion approached them with a proposal for coboration. Believing that Piaomiao Pavilion had devised a wless n to extract Golden Rolls from Phoenix Girl, they agreed to join forces. The Cangyan Door had maintained a low profile, but secretly cooperated with Piaomiao Pavilion.


    However…


    Now that Piaomiao Pavilion, the Cangyan Door, and Snow Territory were all gathered at the hostel…


    He delved deep into the matter, contemting the dynamics between the new King, Phoenix Girl, and Piaomiao Pavilion''s expulsion. It became evident that Phoenix Girl held no respect for Piaomiao Pavilion and was unaffected by their attempts to intimidate her. On the contrary, her disdain for Piaomiao Pavilion grew stronger.


    In light of this realization, he began to question whether or not he had made the right decision.


    Evidently, he had made a grave mistake.


    Coborating with Piaomiao Pavilion had been a wrong decision.


    Now, he needed to find a way to rectify the situation.


    He must sever ties with Piaomiao Pavilion entirely.


    Fortunately, the Cangyan Door hadn''t directly involved themselves, so there might still be hope in their rtionship with Phoenix Girl.


    "Do you recall when Piaomiao Pavilion stirred up chaos in the capital by unleashing their captive monsters? We had anticipated that Phoenix Girl would offer the Golden Rolls to seek our assistance, didn''t we?"


    "…."<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "However, Snow Territory chose to publicly support Phoenix Girl."


    "…."


    "Snow Territory and Piaomiao Pavilion have a totally different standing point."


    "…."


    "Piaomiao Pavilion is the top school, but it is falling. What about standing by Phoenix Girl''s side, just like Snow Territory."


    "…."


    "Phoenix Girl appears impervious to threats. So why not establish a friendship with her? Even if we don''t acquire the Golden Rolls in the end, there''s a chance that Phoenix Girl might lend us assistance in the future. She is unlike anyone else."


    Mu Ning spoke.


    That was precisely why, despite Piaomiao Pavilion''s disdain for Phoenix Girl, they refrained from causing her harm.


    The Elder Men exchanged nces, understanding the intention behind their Young Head''s words. They were inclined to extend goodwill towards Phoenix Girl.


    That sounded like a promising idea.


    Despite their numerous strategic calctions, they had yet to obtain the coveted Golden Rolls.


    Considering their recent relocation from the court to the hostel, it was likely that Phoenix Girl had influenced this decision as well.


    In light of the circumstances, why not disy their friendly attitudes towards Phoenix Girl? This way, Phoenix Girl would owe the Cangyan Door a favor that could be leveraged in the future.


    After all, that was precisely the approach taken by Snow Territory.
