Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 1837

1837 Qing’s Ending 5

It was no wonder that Qing had become so infatuated with Ouyang Mingjing after just two brief encounters, going to such lengths that were completely out of character. Gu Chaoyan could never have imagined that Qing would behave this way.

All this time, Qing had been gentle and obedient.

Little did Gu Chaoyan know that Qing had been manipulated and controlled by these people through drugs that had clouded her mind.

Now, she held Qing, lifeless, in her arms, overwhelmed with regret. Gu Chaoyan knew Qing so well, and she should have investigated when she noticed Qing’s peculiar behavior. But instead, she had left Qing alone in the temple to face her struggles and battle her own mind without any a.s.sistance.

If only she had dedicated more time and effort to uncover the truth, Qing wouldn’t have ended up like this, and the situation wouldn’t have spiraled out of control.

And when she had seen that familiar figure, she should have probed deeper.

At the very least, she should have a.s.signed someone to guard Qing when she was left alone in the temple, ensuring her safety.

Qing had been all alone in that temple, cut off from the outside world.

How had Qing learned about their journey to Snow Territory? And how had she managed to escape the temple and join the troops there?

It seemed she had been in contact with Ouyang Mingjing!

Well…

Ouyang Mingjing was evidently involved in the scheme.

They had enticed Qing to Snow Territory, intending to use her for some purpose. However, upon realizing that Qing would become a liability, they mercilessly killed her.

Qing had been in Gu Chaoyan’s service, and they had no right to commit such a heinous act against her.

Gu Chaoyan glared at Ouyang Mingjing, her voice filled with resentment. “City Lord, I demand an explanation.”

Ouyang Mingjing locked eyes with Gu Chaoyan, displeased with the way she looked at him. She regarded him as an enemy.

She was merely a maid, and he held the position of City Lord in Snow Territory. Why was Gu Chaoyan giving him such a hostile gaze, as if seeking retribution with his life?

He preferred the way she used to look at him when he aided her in reclaiming the monsters back in the Saint Divine Land.

She held a grudge against him.

And it signified that attempting to reach a compromise would be utterly futile.

However, in the Snow Territory, he held the power to do as he pleased.

What was the point of providing an explanation?

“She brought this upon herself!” Ouyang Mingjing retorted coldly, then turned to Longqing. “This place is drenched in blood, unsuitable for Phoenix Girl to remain. Arrange for some individuals to escort Phoenix Girl back to the carriage for rest.”

Upon hearing this, Longqing was taken aback.

The City Lord’s words implied that they were prepared to use force. However, recalling how the Phoenix Girl had severed the guards’ arms, he deemed it an unsuitable approach to handle her.

“What are you hesitating for?” Ouyang Mingjing interjected, growing increasingly displeased by Longqing’s lack of response.

Soon enough, Longqing proposed that the guards should step forward to escort the girl away.

Gu Chaoyan was restrained and instinctively resisted, causing the hidden guards from the Shadow Door to unsheathe their swords and advance towards her.
