Chapter 639: Really Can't Understand
Seeing the blank expressions on Chen San and Liu Qing's faces, Gao Fei grew angry, "What? Forgotten? Haven't I told you to search for Shangguan Yunyue's whereabouts?"
"Ah! Oh! That matter!"
"We haven't forgotten, we've been remembering it all this time."
"We've dispatched a lot of people to search for Shangguan Yunyue's whereabouts, but... after so many days, we still have nothing."
"Shangguan Yunyue seems to have evaporated from the human world, not a trace to be found."
Chen San and Liu Qing said.
"Can't find her?" Gao Fei frowned, "How can you not find her! A living person can't just vanish into thin air! Search! Continue searching! We must find Shangguan Yunyue!"
"Yes, we will continue the search." Chen San and Liu Qing nodded hurriedly.
"Alright, you may leave, let me have some peace," Gao Fei waved them off.
"Your subordinates take their leave." Chen San and Liu Qing bowed and then turned to leave.
"How can she not be found? Where on earth did Shangguan Yunyue go? This is so frustrating!" Gao Fei's frown deepened, "Could it be... Shangguan Yunyue sought revenge against Nangong Qi? She wouldn't be so foolish, would she? If she didn't go to seek revenge on Nangong Qi, then where did she go?" After pondering for a moment, Gao Fei decided to make another trip to Divine Doctor Valley to ask Dongguo Heixin for some clues.
As soon as the thought struck him, he decided to act.
That very afternoon, Gao Fei left the military camp, and, after crossing several large mountains, arrived at Divine Doctor Valley.
"Dongguo Divine Doctor! Dongguo Divine Doctor! Are you there?" Gao Fei stood at the mouth of the valley, shouting loudly, "Dongguo Divine Doctor! Please come out! Dongguo Divine Doctor!!!"
"Who is it!" Dongguo Heixin came out bristling with anger, "Who's making such a racket outside! Oh... why is it you?" Seeing Gao Fei, Dongguo Heixin was taken aback for a moment, then his face darkened, and he said in a displeased tone, "What are you doing here!"
"Dongguo Divine Doctor," said Gao Fei politely, "could you please think carefully if Shangguan Yunyue mentioned where she was going when she left?"
"Aren't you annoying," glared Dongguo Heixin, "I've already made it very clear to you; I don't know where Shangguan Yunyue has gone! Don't know! Don't know! Don't know! Now leave quickly, don't bother me here."
"Dongguo Divine Doctor, I don't wish to disturb you, but Shangguan Yunyue has disappeared. I've dispatched a large number of people to search for Shangguan Yunyue's whereabouts, but to no avail. She seems to have vanished from the human world. Out of desperation, I had to come to you. Please, think back carefully, did Shangguan Yunyue say anything when she left Divine Doctor Valley..."
"I have no relations with Shangguan Yunyue. Why would she tell me where she's going?"
"Please, think carefully..."
"Think your big head ghost! Leave now! Get out of here and don't come to bother me again!" With that, Dongguo Heixin stormed back into the valley, ignoring Gao Fei's shouts and giving no further response.
Gao Fei was so angry inside. It's just a divine doctor, what's there to be arrogant about! In a fit of pique, I could send an army to smash Divine Doctor Valley! Of course, Gao Fei was just thinking out loud; he wouldn't take action. After all, Dongguo Heixin had saved his life, and he couldn't repay kindness with enmity.
"Are all divine doctors this ill-tempered?" Gao Fei sighed, "Forget it, I should go back. Dongguo Heixin is hopeless; I'll have to think of some other way." Gao Fei took one last look at Divine Doctor Valley and then leaped away.
No sooner had Gao Fei left, Dongguo Heixin reemerged. Hands clasped behind his back, he raised his head, staring in the direction Gao Fei had departed for a long time without a word...
"Ah..."
Dongguo Heixin sighed softly, "It's been so many days, and Shangguan Yunyue still hasn't shown up. It looks like... she must have run into trouble... The Myriad Buddhas Sect is not easy to mess with..." Although Dongguo Heixin was no gentleman, he took his promises seriously. Since he had promised to help Shangguan Yunyue conceal the truth, he would certainly do it.
"I just don't get it! Really can't make heads or tails of it!"
"What's so great about Gao Fei? Why did Shangguan Yunyue fall for him?"
"They're completely mismatched!"
After sighing several times, Dongguo Heixin turned around, hands clasped behind his back, and strolled into Divine Doctor Valley.
...
Gao Fei had just returned to the military camp when he heard a piece of news that left him utterly shocked.
"What did you say?!?!" Gao Fei stared at Chen San with a gaping mouth, "Dongfang Jian is marrying The Tenth Princess, Dugu Xiu? Am I hearing things?"
"You heard right." Chen San said with a bitter smile, "It's true."
"..." After staring blankly with wide eyes and open mouth for a moment, Gao Fei blurted out two words, "Damn it!" This news was too startling, nearly popping his eyeballs, "Son of a bitch! Dongfang Jian really has some tricks up his sleeve, huh? First he seduces the White Prince's daughter, and now he's hooked up with the Palace Master... Oh, right, Dongfang Jian is about to marry The Tenth Princess, so what about the White Prince's daughter? Dongfang Jian can't possibly make The Tenth Princess a concubine, can he?"
"How could that be!" Chen San shook his head vehemently, "How can a dignified princess be a concubine? Even if The Tenth Princess was willing, the Emperor would never agree."
"So what's he going to do?"
"Dongfang Jian has divorced the White Prince's daughter."
"Divorced... her?"
"Yes, divorced."
"Damn it!!!" Gao Fei's face twitched violently, "Dongfang Jian is really ruthless! Utterly inhumane! As far as I know, didn't the White Prince's daughter seem to be pregnant? How can Dongfang Jian be so heartless? Doesn't he have any conscience?"
"Conscience be damned." Chen San curled his lip, "For the sake of power, Dongfang Jian would abandon anything! Sometimes I really admire him, his heart is so cold and vicious! Ordinary people can't do that."
"What was The Tenth Princess thinking? How could she fall for Dongfang Jian? Doesn't she know about Dongfang Jian's character? And what about the Emperor? Why didn't he intervene? Could the Emperor just watch his daughter jump into a pit of fire? Today Dongfang Jian can divorce the White Prince's daughter, tomorrow he could divorce The Tenth Princess! Dongfang Jian is just a self-serving scoundrel, he only cherishes himself, for his own interests, he would sacrifice anything!" Gao Fei paused and continued, "Put simply, Dongfang Jian is an animal with no bottom line, no principles, no conscience, and no humanity!"
"I heard that the Emperor tried to intervene, but it was no use, The Tenth Princess was determined to marry Dongfang Jian, even threatening death, leaving the Emperor with no choice but to reluctantly agree." Chen San shared all the information he had gathered.
"I just can't understand what's so appealing about Dongfang Jian? Why are both the White Prince's daughter and The Tenth Princess so enchanted by him?" Gao Fei said through gritted teeth, "It just doesn't make any sense!"
"I don't get it either." Chen San shook his head.
"This is total bullshit!" Gao Fei cursed. Now that Dongfang Jian would become the Prince Consort, his power would greatly increase. Gao Fei had a hard time imagining how Dongfang Jian might use his new status to suppress him. Just thinking about it gave Gao Fei a severe headache.
