In this scenario, he had no choice but to appear in person.
He had meticulously planned everything, even drugging Chaoyan. But was this the result he had expected? He was utterly unconvinced.
Moreover, it was Piaomiao Pavilion who had instructed him to do so. He intended to confront Piaomiao Pavilion about this matter.
Piaomiao Pavilion was in disarray themselves.
No one paid any attention to him.
Duke North grew increasingly furious.
He stormed directly to the Older Men from Piaomiao Pavilion and demanded answers.
Qianji had no interest in entertaining him, but his incessant shouting truly irritated Qianji. Thus, Qianji stepped out.
“Duke North, what brings you here?” Qianji asked, his expression devoid of emotion.
After Duke North had drugged Chaoyan, he had become useless. Since he was now utterly useless, there was no need for them to waste any more time on him. Hence, Qianji didn’t bother to speak politely to him.
“You used me and framed me! You told me to drug her, but now she is heavily sedated and leaving with Snow Territory. What about me? The entire plan has failed because of you! Find a way to compensate me!” Duke North snapped. His face contorted with anger.
However…
Only individuals like Gu Ruxue would be intimidated by his forceful demeanor. To Piaomiao Pavilion, Duke North was nothing more than an empty vessel.
Why did they bother to care?
Qianji had encountered numerous setbacks in the Saint Divine Land, something he had never experienced before. However, Duke North showed no regard for him, which infuriated Qianji to no end.
Expressionlessly, he interrogated, “Duke North, do you understand the consequences for those who speak to me in such a manner?”
“I don’t care. You must compensate me!” Duke North disregarded Qianji and continued to a.s.sert his demands from a position of authority.
Qianji briefly smiled at Duke North’s arrogance.
He extended his hand toward the man.
Harnessing his magical strength, he forcefully pushed Duke North.
Duke North crashed heavily into the wall of the hostel, his body succ.u.mbing to the sudden surge of magical power. He collapsed onto the floor, coughing up blood.
Since drugging himself, he had been relying on the solution as he was not in good condition.
Chaoyan.
Duke North’s thoughts turned to her, then his breath ceased.
Gu Ruxue was shocked by the scene that unfolded before her.
Duke North had sought refuge with Piaomiao Pavilion, and she had kept him company in hopes of benefiting from his supposed imminent victory. She had sensed that Duke North possessed some abilities and was confident in his success.
But now…
Piaomiao Pavilion had treated him as if he were insignificant, snuffing out his life like an ant.
Duke North was dead.
Yet she wanted to survive!
