847: The Chu Family

The Chu Family

Gu Chaoyan was surprised.2

Destiny Monk? He was the person who told Zhou Huailing about the Phoenix Girl's existence back at Putuo Temple? But he disappeared after he passed on the message!

No one had any idea where he was, but what he had predicted might have turned out to be true.

The King had been seeking for him, and so did Zhou Huaijin's Shadow Door.

Only when he was found would the truth be revealed - how was the Phoenix Girl related to anything, and would the Saint Divine Land flourish because of the Phoenix Girl, after all?

Gu Chaoyan had not had strong belief in any of this, but judging from the experience she was going through right now, Destiny Monk might have had some idea of Destiny, which surprised her a great deal.

So Gu Chaoyan wondered if anything was going to happen, since Destiny Monk had been gone for so long yet returned all of a sudden to the Saint Divine Land right now.

"People from Shadow Door have seen him, yet failed to follow him. We lost track of him instantly," Zhou Huaijin said with a frown.

Gu Chaoyan patted the back of his hands.

Regarding the Destiny Monk, Gu Chaoyan did not think that it was necessary to find him.

If even people from Shadow Door failed to catch him, it meant that he was capable enough not to be seen. Therefore, he could appear whenever and wherever he wanted.

Gu Chaoyan thought for a while. "Now that we know that he has appeared, we should be ready for that."

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

She was right.

"Anyway, let's just go in, we should keep the old soldier thing from mother." Zhou Huaijin reminded them as he got up.

Zhao Yiqiu and Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement.

***

At the imperial study.

Chu Tian came to the court when the King asked for him.

The King was not at Qianqing Palace, but at the Imperial Study instead, which was quite unexpected even for Chu Tian.

So many major things had happened during the past period.

Seeing Chu Tian here, the King waved his hand and asked him not to greet him any more. Instead, he asked him to come to his side.

He had given the whole picture a thought back in the Imperial Study, but he could not think of any proper position for Gu Ruxue's father, so he felt quite distressed.

"I asked for you today, because I have some words to exchange with you, you can skip the bowing. I have decided to transfer Gu Zhenkang from Taipu Temple to somewhere else, but I just looked over the list of positions, and I simply have found no proper position for him. You know these things well, so I would like you to have a look at the list for me? Which position should I give to him?" The King said with a look of misery.

Normally, the official positions of the court were fixed, and no major changes had happened during the past few years. It was going to be very difficult to suddenly get someone into a new position.

Chu Tian was surprised.

So the King was going to attach great importance to the Gu Family now?

The daughter of the Gu Family was Lord Ling's Princess Consort… So what the King meant was….

Chu Tian started to sweat…

Apart from the unsuitable positions… Neither Gu Zhenkang nor Gu Yunhe were people with any competences, and they were going to ruin any position they were placed in, but the King already made up his mind, so he had to make it happen.

Chu Tian wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

It was such a difficult issue for him.

The Chu Family had not taken a side yet at the moment, also…
