Despite being displeased with Gu Chaoyans rejection, Zhao Wuhuai realized that he had to let it go due to the circ.u.mstances. He forced a smile and suggested, If youre short on time, we can discuss it here.

Gu Chaoyan remained silent, waiting for Zhao Wuhuai to continue.

Without hesitation, Zhao Wuhuai got straight to the point. Phoenix Girl, you managed to acquire the authority token, didnt you?

Zhao Dier burst into laughter upon hearing her fathers words. She couldnt contain her amus.e.m.e.nt. How is that possible? The authority token is in such high demand at the auction house. Father, dont be absurd! Zhao Dier scoffed. She found it incredulous that Gu Chaoyan would have been able to obtain the authority token when Piaomiao Pavilion had failed to do so despite their efforts.

Zhao Wuhuais expression soured at Zhao Diers words.

He was deeply dissatisfied with her behavior.

While he acknowledged her occasional willfulness, he believed it was acceptable for the daughter of the Pavilions Head to have some degree of indulgence, especially considering her commitment to cultivation and significant matters.

However, this was not the time for her to be obstinate.

He had even warned her about it.

Her current behavior wasnt just willfulit was foolish and ignorant.

Zhao Wuhuai glared at her, silently expressing his disappointment.

With an apologetic look on his face, he addressed Gu Chaoyan. I apologize, Phoenix Girl. I havent raised her well. She tends to be headstrong and stubborn. Please forgive her behavior.

I have heard from my staff about the conflicts between the two of you. I apologize to you, Phoenix Girl, for that and for what transpired in the past. Please dont hold it against me, Zhao Wuhuai sincerely expressed, his voice carrying a hint of regret.

Then, he turned his attention to Zhao Dier and glared at her, snapping in a firm tone, Apologize to the Phoenix Girl now! How dare you!

Zhao Dier appeared wronged and frustrated, stomping her feet in protest. Dad, we had an agreement!

Clearly, she was displeased with the turn of events.

Zhao Wuhuai had no choice but to address Gu Chaoyan once again. I will certainly reprimand her once we return home.

Gu Chaoyan remained unaffected by the father and daughters interactions. She saw Zhao Wuhuais behavior as no different from that of anyone else from Piaomiao Pavilionhypocritical.

It was evident that Zhao Dier was not cooperating with her father, indicating that they had not reached a consensus. Zhao Wuhuai must have had a change of heart during their journey to this place.

He must have his own ulterior motives.

Regardless of his intentions, Gu Chaoyan maintained her cautious stance towards them. She had no intention of placing her full trust in Piaomiao Pavilion.

Without addressing Zhao Diers actions, Gu Chaoyan responded coldly, I did acquire one authority token. Is there anything else, Mr. Head? If not, I will take my leave.

She turned to depart, ready to leave the scene.

However, before she could make her way out, Zhao Wuhuai firmly grabbed hold of her and said, Yes, there is something else.

.

Recently, the auction house has seen the emergence of new pills, including the Flying Pill. As the Phoenix Girl, you possess the special authority token from the auction house, which allows you to obtain the transportation authority token. It leads me to believe that these pills are somehow connected to you, am I right, Phoenix Girl? Zhao Wuhuai inquired.

Pheonix Girl, you may not be aware, but Piaomiao Pavilion is renowned as the top school due to its exceptional pills,
