Unlike the secret assassination of the horse-faced man, the prince murder case drew everyone’s attention The apprentices did not care about the prince or Pot-bellied Buddha at all They just wondered how Slave Huan, who had visited the city only twice, had found a client for hi his 10-day confinement, many killer apprentices, his friends and even some casual acquaintances, sneaked to his door to visit his, they all asked hih the door “How did you find the client?”
Gu Shenwei told all of them that it was just a coincidence He said that he had spared Xu Xiaoyi’s life before and this boy just had suddenly appeared in front of hi him to kill a person
Gu Shenwei told the truth all the ti erated At last, Slave Huan idely perceived as a know-it-all, who had many connections and resources in South City No matter how many times he denied this rumor, the apprentices still firmly believed that he could introduce clients to theo to the city with theirhim to introduce clients to them They even told him that they just wanted to accumulate experience and did notdown a dozen of apprentices, Gu Shenwei finally dampened their enthusiasm
On the last day of his confinement, Maid Lotus came to see him with two other apprentices After a while, the two apprentices left, letting Maid Lotus and Slave Huan have a private conversation
Gu Shenwei kept his promise and told Maid Lotus what Doctor Sun had said about the qigong deviation According to the doctor, there were only tays to cure this deviation, one was beco Buddhist to read the Exorcis to the land of fragrance about 2,500 kilometers away to seek for treatment

He had assu cha, but Maid Lotus said so that was totally beyond his expectations
“Someone in the Whiterobe Academy His surname is Guo Do you knoho he is?”
“Mister Guo?”
Gu Shenas stunned and at the same time, very puzzled He had met Mister Guo only twice, once in the torture chaht with Shangguan Ru in a room after they had stolen Black Jade Palm Gu Shenas pretty sure that Mister Guo did not remember the slave boy in the torture chamber As for the theft case, Mister Guo still had no reason to bla attendant who had just followed histhe whole process He could not figure out why Mister Guo wanted hi about how easy it is for the Whiterobe Acadeood people skills, Gu Shenas not surprised at all when hearing that she had contacted Wildhorse, their forate the matter He was just completely bewildered by the fact that it was Mister Guo anted to kill hi to be sent to the Whiterobe Academy Be careful”
With these words, Maid Lotus left Gu Shenwei racked his brain, but still failed to get the answer He knew Mister Guo did not like Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi+, but that could not explain why he took so e on a hu, Gu Shenas released from the confine to work at the Whiterobe Academy He felt unsettled and turned to hisand his apprentice were not close, but after the murder case, the relationshi+p between them improved a lot
Gu Shenwei told hisabout Mister Guo and asked for his advice Tie Hanfeng, who knew Slave Huan had helped Ma the wooden saber in Six Kill Temple, had some idea about this matter but he did not reply to his apprentice immediately He went out to ask information froht
“Mister Guo can’t publicly announce that he wants to kill you, since the fort will never allow such private rivalries That hy he took so much trouble to hire other apprentices to kill you in thethe puzzled look on Slave Huan’s face, he added, “Do you reht you? To pick out the fierce dogs and elis to fight each other and bite each other when they’re little However, once you pick out the ones you want, you have to keep every dog on a leash and make them learn rules Killer apprentices were just like those puppies Now that the fort has already picked out the good ones, it’ll ask you to follow the rules Mister Guo knows the rules well, so he won’t kill you directly in the mission Likewise, you can’t openly kill him In this fort, you’re only allowed to kill me to take reat honor for you If you succeed of course, hah-hah”
Gu Shenwei did not want to try it anymore He kneas no match for his mentor
“As for the reason why he hates you soto my survey, it’s because of the wooden saber At that time, he concentrated too ave him a fake wooden saber You made him lose the lord’s respect That’s why he wants to kill you”
Gu Shenwei finally understood why Mister Guo hated hiuan Nu must have made up a story to explain to his father why the wooden saber had been broken Given the bad relationshi+p between Shangguan Nu and Mister Guo, he believed Shangguan Nu had not said any good words for Mister Guo
