Chapter 104 Alliance of the Guilty

Gu Shenwei had never asked Lotus about what else had happened that night He didn't need to ask as he was no longer an ignorant teenager any, pretty disciples who studied under the kung fu instructors and killer Masters often went through In co, who only cursed and beat his disciple, was as kind as a saint

How could Lotus stand aloof with her good looks? It was not only through luck that she survived when her kung fu skills were initially low Liu Xuan was just one of those who had coveted and successfully laid hands on her

Gu Shenwei didn't say anything but it didn’t mean that he was indifferent He couldn't tell whether it was jealousy or anger, but he knew that he had to kill Liu Xuan and all the other insiders It was not only to silence them, but also as a responsibility he had to Lotus

Gu Shenwei could shi+ft the bla the castle upside down and kill without restraint during the slaughter But the roc had floay and Liu Xuan was cautiously not stepping to the north side of wooden sabre alley He needed to find another way to kill him

Gu Shenwei started tracking and investigating alone He found that Servant Zi had several friends who ht be the insiders

He also inquired about so Liu Xuan He was a killer with mediocre hth young lord, so he was rarely ordered out of the castle to carry out tasks and becauardsman in the yard

Liu Xuan once claimed that his direct protector was a sabrelord, but it was questionable

Lotus was called out again by Liu Xuan Gu Shenwei found her later to discuss thethe problem'

Lotus's calmness made Gu Shenwei feel both admired and ashamed This was his assistant, advisor, friend, and partner, but he couldn’t help her even when she was being bullied in front of his eyes

Lotus agreed to assassinate Liu Xuan, as he was afterall a disaster He still didn't knohat the clue in his hand meant, but he would surely understand once the two disciple's sabresmanshi+p attracted the attention of the entire Golden Roc Castle

The two thought of several plans such as luring Liu Xuan to cross the wooden sabre alley, killing hi an intimate scene of a killer with athe corpse to the other side But all of these plans had the saht incriminate Lotus

It wasn't uncommon for a killer to play with a disciple Liu Xuan probably did not keep it as a secret, and he ht have even boasted about it to the other killers If he suddenly suffered a strange death at East Castle, Lotus, and even Servant Huan would become the first suspect If that happened, even if Xi Xin Yuan didn't investigate, Shangguan Nu would be very angry

As for the secret of grinding the sabre, Lotus felt out that Liu Xuan would not reveal the secret he used to control Lotus until he got tired of her Even Servant Zi didn't kno important the information he accidentally said out was

Every person Gu Shenwei assassinated in the past seemed to involve trickery because it was either so him But now, all these methods couldn't be used anymore For Liu Xuan, he would use the classic way to deal with it

Like what his Master Tie Hanfeng always said, he first had to cut Liu Xuan's 'connections' One could kill someone with a sabre, or with one's mouth, and sometimes the latter was even safer

Gu Shenwei thought of a bold plan, and even though Lotus didn't agree in the beginning, she was convinced by his detailed analysis that the idea was very good She then helped him to perfect the plan and fixed as many flaws as possible

The core of the plan was Miss Luo Ningcha

When they showed their respects to the lord again, Lotus left as usual, but Servant Huan was summoned by Miss

This was due to Lotus's sche She was close toto help pass the

Those four maidservants Chen, Xin, Sui, and Yi waited by the screen The blind, tongueless Tsui Nü was close to the service Luo Ningcha aiting for a servant's pledge for being loyal to her, which was the only reason she su time and unavoidably became a bit curious when she heard a servant voluntarily request this

Tie Hanfeng called it 'connections', and people in the castle preferred to call it 'backer' Anyway, the more of it, the better Servant Huan's movement was not abrupt Afterall, he was one of the servants brought by Miss

The oath- process er to draw blood She would also not drink the same bowl of bloody water with a servant Gu Shenwei finished his own part of the ritual, during which he stressed in the oath that he firstly had to be eighth young lord's killer, then a loyal servant of Miss Tsui Nü did the rest part of the ritual for the Miss

Miss wasn't as pereed a lot on the surface She was lazy and boring, her tone like a bitter wo the anger and resentment buried in her heart

After the pledge, Gu Shenas still kneeling on the ground, as he was planning on privately asking for a feords with the new lord He estiree

This relationshi+p between the lord and servant was strange Their innermost secrets were in the other's hand Gu Shenwei called hi He had sneaked into Golden Roc Castle to avenge his father Luo Ningcha once h Gu Shenwei didn't know the details, he had duped the Miss into believing that he knew the entirety of her secret

The relationshi+p connecting the tas delicate and fragile and even a slight tug on the line would get someone killed, but Gu Shenwei decided that he would not only pull this line, but also tie hiether to foruilty
