Ms. Doctor Divine - Chapter 1723

1723 Threat Again 1
Wuxing strained his neck, attempting to catch a glimpse of Lingyun within the enclosed walls of Xunyang’s Palace. When Lingyun resided at Xinlin Mansion with Phoenix Girl, Wuxing had a good understanding of the layout there. However, with Lord Huai assuming the throne, Phoenix Girl had chosen to remain within the court instead.

While he was unfamiliar with this particular palace, Wuxing possessed a comprehensive knowledge of the court’s layout. He knew the areas where he could evade the watchful eyes of the concealed Shadow Door guards.

Although the court of the Saint Divine Land was heavily guarded, Wuxing, with his extensive training, found it relatively easy to become acquainted with the surroundings. He held great confidence in his ability to move about unnoticed. Therefore, as he traversed Xunyang’s Palace, he was certain that no one was aware of his presence.

Although not a grand palace, it had once belonged to Princess Xunyang.

Observing Lingyun emerging from one of the rooms, Wuxing took note of her whereabouts.

Wuxing’s eyes gleamed with anticipation as he swiftly descended and swept up Lingyun, finding shelter beneath a nearby pavilion.

Surprisingly, Lingyun remained remarkably composed, her demeanor calm and collected. She turned to Wuxing, speaking softly but with a clear understanding of his intentions.

She was well aware of the purpose behind his presence here.

Although Wuxing had been confident in his ability to move stealthily, believing he had gone unnoticed, the truth was that hidden guards had been diligently observing his every move since he entered the court.

These covert guards had been monitoring him all along.

This knowledge was not lost on Lingyun. She had anticipated Wuxing’s arrival precisely because of their vigilant surveillance. As a result, she displayed no signs of anxiety or distress.

“What do you want from me?” Lingyun asked calmly.

“Lingyun, what is happening?” Wuxing’s voice cracked with frustration as he confronted her. “You didn’t lift a finger to assist us during our confrontation with Phoenix Girl yesterday. It was humiliating! Now, Piaomiao Pavilion has taken up residence in the hostel, making it incredibly challenging for us to achieve anything. You’ve single-handedly ruined my plan!” Wuxing’s anger seethed within him, and he couldn’t contain his disappointment in Lingyun’s lack of support.

Wuxing’s frustration only intensified upon witnessing Lingyun’s unwavering composure. Though he no longer displayed the same disdain as before, a sense of discontent lingered within him. However, he had an overwhelming sensation that if he didn’t take immediate action, he would face significant hardships.

“Qianji Elderly Man has already blamed me!” Wuxing’s voice trembled with anxiety and desperation. “If this continues, Qianji Elderly Man will become even more dissatisfied with me. If he loses faith in me, Liuxing will replace me, and I’ll lose my standing at Piaomiao Pavilion. Lingyun, have you ever truly cared about me?”
” “…”

Wuxing’s voice quivered with a hint of despair as he expressed his concerns to Lingyun. “I can’t even present myself to the Head. If things continue to go awry, I won’t be able to arrange a proper wedding for you. You know that this is something women care about deeply, and I’m sure you don’t want to have any regrets in that regard, do you?”

“….”

“Lingyun, our well-being is interlinked. If I am not doing well, it will affect both of us. Can’t you understand that?” Wuxing’s words carried a forceful tone.

However, as he spoke, he became aware of his own intensity.

He recognized her vulnerability and understood that she was not as resilient as she once was.
