He carefully re-tied the silk thread and quietly waited for the gong sound that indicated the second watch Elder Zhang see him as he never returned even after dark

Matron Xue probably would not survive tonight Gu Shenas coht of turning to Shangguan Ru for help because she was about to become the 10th master and would have a justification to protect other people But he quickly gave up on the idea, because he knew Shangguan Ru would think that he was taking advantage of and would betray her With Shangguan Yushi+ fanning the flaht personally kill him in an instant

Gu Shenent out of the stone house on the second watch

From the moment when his entire family was killed, he took a narrow path that was full of traps It was a miracle for him to have survived each day Today was no exception

Bang, and another bang

Gu Shenwei’s heart began to beat rapidly “Why did she break the saber again? Isn’t this the right saber? Did Shangguan Nu trick me?” As numerous doubts crossed his mind, Matron Xue said, “Follow me, I’ll take you to a place”

Gu Shenwei re the assassination game He even wandered the ruins
