Chapter 1956 Golden Rolls Fragment

1956  Golden Rolls Fragment

Within the box lay only a single, small fragment, emanating a radiant golden glow. It rested quietly, seemingly untouched.

A realization dawned upon Gu Chaoyan as to why the Xuantian Sect had offered the Golden Rolls while a.s.serting their reluctance to be further involved. They possessed only the fragments and expended significant resources in their pursuit. In order to avoid the sect reclaiming the Golden Rolls directly, they refrained from deeper involvement.

"What about the other fragments?" Gu Chaoyan inquired, aware that a lone fragment was insufficient, and the whereabouts of the others remained unknown.

The Head of the Xuantian Sect shook his head.

Annoyance surged within Gu Chaoyan. She had not antic.i.p.ated such a turn of events.

However…

While Gu Chaoyan felt discontent, a collective sigh of relief resonated from the others, including Mu Weiran. Gu Chaoyan had secured merely a fragment of the Golden Rolls, signifying that an opportunity still existed. Should they acquire the other fragments and abscond with Gu Chaoyan's, the Golden Rolls would remain within their grasp.

Mu Weiran wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, rising to her feet, and departed without casting a glance towards Gu Chaoyan or the Golden Rolls.

Zhao Dier trailed behind, following her lead.

Mu Weiran cast a chilly glare at Zhao Dier. "You are no longer needed by me. Return to Piaomiao Pavilion and try to retrieve the fragment from her. As for the rest, we of the Wuji Sect will figure out a plan."

With that, Mu Weiran grew impatient to discuss the matter of the Golden Rolls any further.

Zhao Dier nodded, seeing it as a favorable outcome.

Mockingly, she addressed Gu Chaoyan, "Not so smug now, are you? You may think you've obtained the Golden Rolls, but it's nothing more than worthless trash."

Having spoken her piece, she turned away and prepared to inform her father of the outcome.

Piaomiao Pavilion still had a chance to acquire the remaining Golden Rolls.

Silently, Gu Chaoyan collected the fragment and the sword, departing alongside Li Mu.

Unaware of the happenings at Haitian, they had been away from the continent for too long. They needed to return swiftly and unlock the barrier.

Before the portal…

Seeing Zhao Dier depart, Gu Chaoyan's mind suddenly wandered to another matter.

She and Zhao Dier had come to the Yuehua Continent with clear objectives - she sought the Heaven Slaying Sword, while Zhao Dier pursued the Golden Rolls. Their reasons were straightforward and understandable. However, she had not encountered An Mingxi at the Xuantian Sect, nor did she have any knowledge of An Mingxi's purpose for being there. Moreover, she hadn't spotted An Mingxi on their way back either.

Well…

What was An Mingxi's intention?

"Lady Chaoyan, is something bothering you?" Li Mu inquired.

They stood before the portal, yet Lady Chaoyan seemed lost in thought, as if contemplating something else. Li Mu sensed that there might be more to the situation.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head slightly. "It's nothing."

"…"

"I was simply wondering about the whereabouts of the individual from Wuhui Gate."

Having voiced her musings, Gu Chaoyan prepared to depart with Li Mu.

Once they returned to the palace…

Haitian was still bustling with activity.

Duan Feng must have noticed Zhao Dier's return, and he likely antic.i.p.ated their arrival as well. Thus, he stood guard at the palace's entrance.

As Gu Chaoyan and Li Mu arrived, Duan Feng inquired, "How did it go?"
