1753 The Cangyan Door’s n 1


    Since the people of Snow Territory only recognized Phoenix Girl as the rightful wife of Mr. Head, her presence could potentially unify the divided Snow Territory. This realization led Ouyang Mingjing to consider the possibility of striking a deal with Phoenix Girl to align their individual goals.


    Lost in his thoughts, Ouyang Mingjing’s attention began to waver, his mind drifting away from the immediate matters at hand.


    —


    At Fengxian Pce, Liu Qingqing had been keeping Gu Chaoyanpany while Zhou Huaijin secluded himself in the imperial study.


    He was determined to find a solution to the ongoing matter.


    As the construction of Shiling Pce progressed in the Saint Divine Land, the Shadow Door had employed a skilled individual to oversee its operations. However, this person’s abilities were not sufficient to handle the situation with Gu Chaoyan.


    Zhou Huaijin realized that they needed someone with even greater expertise to deal with the challenges they faced. Turning to Fu Bao, he gave clear instructions, “Fu Bao, take care of it.”


    “Understood, Mr. Head,” Fu Bao responded and left.


    As Zhou Huaijin contemted his next move, he received word that representatives from the Cangyan Door had arrived.


    Normally, he would have declined to meet with them, but today he saw it as an opportunity to have a conversation.


    The Cangyan Door members had maintained a rtively low profile since their arrival, distinguishing themselves from the more unruly Piaomiao Pavilion and the tightly controlled Snow Territory.


    “Wee, Mu Ning,” Zhou Huaijin greeted them with equal politeness.


    “What do you want, when youe to see me?” Zhou Huaijin asked quietly.


    Mu Ning smiled.


    He started carefully, “I heard about your building Shiling Pce on my way out today. So are you trying to train people to stop monsters from invading the country?”


    “…”


    “We are not a particrly influential school, but we are highly experienced and respected. The Saint Divine Land has weed us warmly, and if you need assistance, we are willing to offer our help. What you are constructing holds great significance for us, and we can provide a selection of disciples to ensure the most suitable individuals for the practice.”


    “…”


    “In addition, if you desire, we can also provide assistance with the practice,” Mu Ning stated courteously.


    Zhou Huaijin found it rather surprising to be discussing this matter with them.


    However…


    Zhou Huaijin soon realized that this situation was quite normal. The Cangyan Door appeared to maintain a low profile inparison to the Piaomiao Pavilion. Nevertheless, both schools coexisted within the Saint Divine Land, implying that the Piaomiao Pavilion couldn’t take any action against them either.


    While they all coveted the Golden Rolls, the Cangyan Door chose not to step forward, as they preferred to remain behind the scenes.


    It appeared to be an opportune moment for them to bring up this proposition.


    They had their own motives.


    “That is most gracious of you, Young Head. Please, inform me of the terms,” Zhou Huaijin inquired directly.


    “It’s not so much a condition. Your Queen is the Phoenix Girl, and our intention is to show our admiration for both you and her. Although the Phoenix Girl has chosen not to offer the Golden Rolls, which is beyond our influence, we do have something else to offer…”
