Chapter 284: Tianji

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

A total of ten female archers had suddenly appeared. Every arrow had hit their targets. More than a dozen ambushers were wiped out in just two volleys. Gu Shenwei did not even have time to catch one alive.

Even so, he still hurriedly checked it again. Unlike what he had imagined, these ambushers were not the accomplices of Boss Mo. They were Golden Roc machetemen. Their Golden Roc logo was not on the shoulder of their coats, but it was hidden under their collars.

”Dragon King, please follow us,” the leader of the group of female archers said as she took the lead and jumped off the roof.

Gu Shenwei followed silently. He became more and more uneasy. These women knew too much about Golden Roc Fort's plans as they could have laid in ambush at the periphery all the time.

The group of people came to a nearby residence. The female archers put down their bows and arrows, quickly changed into their black suits, covered their faces, and picked up their sabers.

Someone threw Gu Shenwei a set, and he also changed into it. The Five Peaks Saber was exactly the same as the Golden Roc Fort Saber, therefore there was no need to change it.

Soon, eleven people transformed into Golden Roc killers. They even had the Golden Roc logo on their shoulders. Gu Shenwei even received a fake killer waist token.

One could walk freely in Jade City with this disguise and the waist token.

The female lead archer nodded and said, ”Dragon King, please.”

Gu Shenwei walked past her and suddenly drew out his saber. Before the other women could react, he was behind the chief and had his saber on her neck.

The nine women pulled out their sabers simultaneously and surrounded him.

”Put down your sabers. The Dragon King means no harm,” the female chief ordered. The nine subordinates withdrew their sabers obediently, but they were still surrounding the Dragon King.

”No harm? I'm not sure about that.” Gu Shenwei would never follow people who he was unfamiliar with, especially those who were obviously related to Golden Roc Fort.

”Master said that this might happen.” The female chief was not nervous at all. ”I have a keepsake.”

”Keepsake?” Gu Shenwei exerted slightly more force and the female leader had to raise her head.

”Yes, a keepsake. Bring it over.” The female chief did not dare to open her mouth and could only squeeze out a few words from her throat.

A woman came over. She was holding onto a sword in its scabbard with two hands.

Gu Shenwei did not let go. He had no impression of this sword.

The woman slowly pulled out the sword in front of the Dragon King. It was a short, thin sword.

Gu Shenwei was shocked.

”Does the Dragon King believe me now?” the female chief asked.

Gu Shenwei still had many doubts, which were unexplained. He said, ”How could she...”

”It's a long story. Does the Dragon King want to talk about it here or after we have reached a safe place?”

Gu Shenwei sheathed the Five Peaks Saber. He wouldn't believe anyone easily, but he was familiar with the short sword that the female archer showed him. It was the gift that he had received from his father when he was a child. It was first stolen by Eighth Young Master Shangguan Nu and then it was passed on to Shangguan Ru. Shangguan Ru then returned it to him. When he fled from Golden Roc Fort, it was abandoned at the Reincarnation Cliff arrow tower.

Had Shangguan Ru sent someone to save him?

Gu Shenwei was puzzled. Shangguan Ru should have been placed under house arrest by her mother for a while. Even Kun Society had fallen back into the hands of Shangguan Fei. When did she form such a female archer team?

”Is it the Tenth Young Master?” he couldn't help but ask.

”It is the Tenth Young Master. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Dragon King, please.”

Gu Shenwei was still skeptical, but he still decided to follow them.

This trip from the South City to the North City was quite far. The checkpoint was already closed for passage, but the guards let them pass reluctantly because the female chief had a ”sole” waist token.

The final destination exceeded Gu Shenwei's expectations as it was the Meng family's Bodhi Garden in North City. The garden was completely desolate as the famous four-colored lotus flowers had passed its blooming season.

The group of people arrived at a rock garden at the southeast of the pond. Two women uncovered the withered vines to reveal the iron gates within. They knocked several times rhythmically. The iron gates were pushed open from the inside.

Gu Shenwei suspected that it might be dangerous, so he couldn't go any further. Even if Shangguan Ru appeared, he wouldn't believe it entirely. Three years was enough to completely forget a person, let alone her personality and preferences.

”I think it is safe enough here.”

No one could have imagined that the Dragon King would hide in the Meng family's Bodhi Garden. It would be relatively safe here as long as there was no thorough search being carried out.

The female chief took off her mask and smiled, ”Dragon King still refuses to believe me completely.”
