1439 The Door to Enchantment 2
Gu Chaoyan put her hands gently on the jade sword and picked it up without much effort. She gave it a look in her own hands.
Zhou Huailing’s eyes widened. He did not expect that Gu Chaoyan could so easily pick up the sword which he was unable to lift.
As he realized this, he was more certain that Gu Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl!
He then looked at the King.
The King had a very complicated look on his face. It was the worst result he could have expected. Gu Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl! That made everything so complicated. He needed to get rid of his Eighth Son. That was something he could do, since Jiang Shuang was gone and he was her only child at the moment.
The King let out a deep breath. His mind was in a mess.
Everyone below was making their own plans, trying to figure out how to maximize their own interests.
Gu Chaoyan, however, was focusing on the sword. She wondered what she could do with the jade sword.
She went to Destiny Monk.
With a pair of clear eyes, Gu Chaoyan asked. “Destiny Monk, what can the sword do? And what should we do, now that the door to enchantment is opened?”
Destiny Monk had been so happy to see the door to enchantment opened, yet when he heard Gu Chaoyan’s questions, he was startled.
He looked confused.
What should they do after the door to enchantment is opened? He had no idea.
When his master told him about this mission, he was asked to find the Phoenix Girl who could open the door to enchantment. And nothing more.
He had been firmly looking for the Phoenix Girl and the door to enchantment. He had never thought about what else they should do after the door to enchantment was opened.
What more could he do?
Destiny Monk felt at a loss. He showed his confusion.
He looked at Gu Chaoyan and said with a trembling voice, “I have no idea…”
Before he finished speaking… Gu Chaoyan cut in. “We can talk about this tomorrow.”
She interrupted Destiny Monk, because Gu Chaoyan had already understood what Destiny Monk was about to say. She might not be affected once the truth was told, but Destiny Monk would be.
She would allow Destiny Monk to keep the role as the respected Monk, rather than reveal his confusion.
Destiny Monk nodded at Gu Chaoyan with gratitude.
The door to enchantment was opened, so the imperial tombs were no longer useful.
It was time for them to get out of the tombs.
The King had not made any other arrangements for them. So Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin decided to leave the tombs together and leave the rest for the future.
Seeing the scene…
Gu Zhenkang stepped forward and smiled. “Now that the door to enchantment is opened Chaoyan, you have been through a lot. What about coming home with me, your father, and leaving the rest for tomorrow?”
He spoke as he approached her. He wanted to take her home in front of everyone so that they could know that their relationship was still close.
He had told Gu Chaoyan his intention yesterday, and a night passed, so Gu Chaoyan should have thought the proposal through.
