Chapter 523: Yuanxiang Missing

Anyone who dared to hurt his people, would have to pay back a million times more.

Within a few seconds, Zhou Huaijin withdrew his fury, worrying that he would frighten Chaoyan.

He reached out for Gu Chaoyan’s cheeks. “Don’t blame yourself for what happened. It has nothing to do with you. Those who have schemes will always scheme, be it today or tomorrow.”

“…”

“Don’t worry about Xunyang. She might be a little childish, but she can tell right from wrong. She grew up in the court and she is always watching out for something. She has her own hidden guards for her security.”

Even having said those consoling words, Zhou Huaijin still felt a little annoyed. He was not afraid of his enemy, but his own family and friends. His father, for example.

He knew that his father had been looking for the Phoenix Girl the entire time and now that the Phoenix Girl was found, namely Gu Ruxue. He was worried that Gu Yunhe, the Phoenix Girl’s Elder Brother, might get his father’s approval on his own.

In that case… Zhou Huaijin’s eyes turned dark. However, he did not want to put the pressure on Chaoyan.

“Alright, go and take a break. You look so sleepy.” Zhou Huaijin said with a scolding tone.

“Okay.” Gu Chaoyan nodded and got ready to sleep.

Zhou Huaijin did not leave directly. Instead, he sat by the bedside, guarding Gu Chaoyan.

That was what he normally would be, and something that Gu Chaoyan was already used to. The only thing she was not used to was that he was always gone the following day when she woke up.

The following day…

Gu Chaoyan had a really nice sleep, but Sword One had to wake her up.

“Elder Miss,” Sword One said.

Gu Chaoyan liked sleeping in, but she was always on the alert when she was sleeping. If it had been quiet around and no one woke her up, she could have slept until lunchtime, but if someone woke her up, she could open her eyes directly.

So when Sword One called her, Gu Chaoyan opened her eyes.

“What is wrong?” Gu Chaoyan asked drowsily.

“Elder Miss, The Dean and Lady Li Yuanxiang’s mother are both outside. They said that Lady Li Yuanxiang has gone missing! They wonder if you know where she might be?” Sword One said.

Normally, Sword One would not have troubled Chaoyan, but Lady Li Yuanxiang was Elder Miss’ good friend and now she was missing, so Sword One had to consider that as an important matter.

Yuanxiang was missing?

Gu Chaoyan suddenly jerked up. She quickly got changed, then she hurried out of the chamber. “What is going on?”

The Dean looked distressed, asking Li Yuanxiang’s mother to recount the whole story.

It was the first time for Gu Chaoyan to meet Li Yuanxiang’s mother. She and Li Yuanxiang looked quite alike. Briefly dressed, she looked calm. “I lectured her yesterday, so she got angry and ran away. I thought that she would come home after a while, but I have not seen her even until now!”

“…”

“Yuanxiang barely has any friends, except for you, I believe you know where she is, Lady Chaoyan.” Li Yuanxiang’s mother said, sounding slightly anxious.

Yesterday? Her Adulthood Ceremony took place yesterday… So if Yuanxiang promised to come when she had time, she would have come.

However, she did not show up, nor was she in the school to make the medicine, but stayed at home…

Gu Chaoyan suddenly thought of how Yuanxiang came to her a couple of days earlier and offered to become the witness.

Gu Chaoyan believed that something must have happened because of that.

Yuanxiang did not want to become the witness, but then she changed her mind.

Could that be because…
