Gu Ruxue agreed directly.

She had tried numerous times at Lord Lings Mansion, but the phoenix just did not show up. Maybe that was because the phoenix was really in a bad mood.

She just did not believe that the phoenix would come out here at Gu Chaoyans place instead of at Lord Lings Mansion.

If the phoenix did not come out, she could get the money back. Also, she was already able to play the song, so she could always call the phoenix if she wanted. That sounded like a very reasonable thing, so Gu Ruxue said yes directly.

Zhou Huailing did not stop her. He was in desperate need of money at this time and it would be great if the money could be regained.

Since she decided to make another attempt, Gu Ruxue rushed out to the yard.

Gu Chaoyan followed her.

She took out the jade flute, then she started to play the song.

A short while later, the phoenix came out and it soared happily above the mansion, making a cheerful sound.

Gu Ruxue was petrified.

What was going on?! It did not work back at Lord Lings Mansion, but now it was working perfectly.

Gu Chaoyan crossed her arms and looked at Gu Ruxue calmly, Isnt it there? Is Lord Lings mansion so poor that you want to take back what has been paid?

Gu Chaoyan looked and sound very disdainful.

Gu Ruxue did not care about the money. What she cared about was that the phoenix was there!

Since the phoenix was called, she could get her face back! She did not care about anything else.

However, Zhou Huailing felt very uncomfortable hearing what Gu Chaoyan had said. He frowned as he said, Ruxue could not call the phoenix, so we came to seek justice, but now the phoenix is here, so we wont need the money back.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Instead of talking with them any more, she said, You can leave now. Then she left directly.

Zhou Huailing was very dissatisfied about how Gu Chaoyan treated him.

He was in a different position right now. He was the most favored son of the King and the ministers of the court were all sucking up to him. He was the heir to be named in the future, but Gu Chaoyan was still treating him as n.o.body. She even looked very disdainful at him.

That made Zhou Huailing very unhappy.

He had a plan. When he took the throne and became the King, he was going to make Gu Chaoyan bend down to him!

Zhou Huailing thought angrily inside his heart.

Gu Ruxue did not notice any of this. She tugged at Zhou Huailing. Lets leave, Lord.

Zhou Huailing followed without saying anything more.

Gu Chaoyan was now back in her own yard.

As she came to the yard, Sword One asked bravely. Elder Miss, everything goes well with the phoenix, right? We should not let Gu Ruxue take it as her own!

She was worried that the phoenix would no longer be this obedient, or maybe Gu Ruxue would catch the phoenix and keep it in a cage someday. That would be very troublesome.

Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly. She did not have to worry about the phoenix at all. It was smart and capable.

Gu Ruxue was not in a position to control the phoenix. The phoenix was just toying with Gu Ruxue.

Sword One, dont worry. Gu Chaoyan had no idea how to explain, so she just told Sword One this.

Hearing the answer, Sword One felt slightly a.s.sured.

Xiu Jie is back? Sword One said in surprise, as she saw the figure not faraway.
