She couldn't simply die, even if she couldn't become the Queen.
Survival was her only hope for a future. If she died, there would be no hope for her whatsoever.
Terrified and shaken, Gu Ruxue turned to Qianji. "I saw nothing, absolutely nothing! I came here today because Duke North forced me to! I am just a helpless girl with no other choice! I never intended to harm Piaomiao Pavilion. I was coerced into coming here, I swear!"
"…"
"Don't kill me. I pose no threat. I'll leave now. I saw nothing, and I'll keep it all a secret!" Gu Ruxue pleaded fearfully, attempting to flee.
Qianji chuckled, observing Gu Ruxue's reaction.
He had initially planned to kill her as well, but her current state of fright stayed his hand.
What else could she do in her fear?
Would she expose the events of today?
Even if she did, what would it matter?
Piaomiao Pavilion never feared the Saint Divine Land. They were merely cautious of Phoenix Girl.
