Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 1862

1862 Ouyang Mingjing’s Madness 6

But when he attempted to utilize his magical powers to test Gao Xiu’s cultivation, he discovered that he was unable to do so. This was something he had been able to do before. The sudden inability could only indicate one thing: during his absence, Gao Xiu had clearly advanced his cultivation and surpa.s.sed him in level.

How was this possible? Gao Xiu, who had never placed much emphasis on cultivation, managed to make significant progress while they were studying unorthodox methods?

He had previously chosen to conceal his true power, which is why he had only sensed a portion of Gao Xiu’s cultivation with his consciousness. Now, with no reason to hide, he could perceive everything.

Gao Xiu gazed at him calmly, exuding an air of confidence.

“Do you admit to orchestrating the setup against Phoenix Girl’s mother when she was poisoned?” Gao Xiu interrogated. “You were the guard a.s.signed by the Old City Lord to ensure Phoenix Girl’s safety. You possess knowledge of the Fire Lotus flower and even used it to threaten her!”

He had no place to hide anymore. He was the sole individual aware of the Fire Lotus Flower and the Cold Drug, which had led the City Lord to hold him in high regard. The evidence against him was irrefutable.

Longqing observed the scene in disbelief. So it was individuals from the Snow Territory who were responsible for poisoning Phoenix Girl? Could it be Elder Men?

The new revelation contradicted what he had previously known.

As far as Longqing knew, the wife of the City Lord was supposed to be the Phoenix Girl, and the Fire Lotus flower was planted by Elder Man. It was all part of a deal with the Phoenix Girl.

But now, it seemed that he was the one who had drugged her and taken out the Fire Lotus flower. This revelation shattered the notion of their marriage that had persisted since ancient times.

In the end, it was the City Lord himself who had drugged the Phoenix Girl.

Longqing couldn’t believe that he had been deceived all these years.

With Longqing’s suspicious gaze fixed on him and the City Lord, who had lost all his magical power, Gao Xiu held far greater power than he did. He knew the precarious situation he was in.

He was about to make his escape…

Observing his movements, Gao Xiu swiftly pursued him.

Gu Chaoyan, concerned that he would flee so easily, couldn’t let him get away after what he had done to her. Seeking revenge for his actions would be too simple if he managed to escape.

Moreover…

Ouyang Mingjing’s current state was a result of bearing immense responsibilities. Ouyang Mingjing had been the City Lord since childhood and had instilled numerous notions in him.

After taking a few steps, Gu Chaoyan realized that she had no magical power left and couldn’t catch up to him. She turned to Huang Fu for a.s.sistance.

Huang Fu, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm and took no action.

“He is far more capable than I am, and he will undoubtedly catch up to him. There’s no need for me to intervene,” Huang Fu remarked calmly.

In truth…

There was nothing he could do. He had exhausted all of his magical power.

It was fortunate that Gu Chaoyan had turned to Gao Xiu for a.s.sistance, otherwise Huang Fu would have been uncertain about what the future held.

Having made her decision, Gu Chaoyan picked up the Fire Lotus flower and glanced at Huang Fu.

“Fire Lotus flowers require snow lotus for their creation, and it takes seven days for the cold poison to be detoxified. I will prepare the medicine myself,” Huang Fu stated, but then added, “However, there is something important that I must tell you.”
