Meng Mingshi+ looked like a completely different person He see all the way He did not disturb the girls or show even the slightest hatred toward Slave Huan It seenize this brown-belt assassin who had threatened him with a wooden saber at all

“No, I saw you chatting merrily with the brown-belt assassins”
Gu Shenwei clearly re the past days, but he did not want to continue this childish conversation “Noe’re chatting uan Ru bit her lips and put on a straight face She paced beside Slave Huan for a while and asked, “Why did you come out to protect me on that day in Bodhi Garden?”
“She knew that it was retted what he had done on that day evenhis horse and said, “That’s my fault You didn’t sleep You heard that so, didn’t you?”
Gu Shenwei believed that a couan Ru would answer “yes” to his question However, the girl said, “No, I was stoned I heard nothing”
Gu Shenas speechless After a moment, he replied, “I came out to protect you because I’m your Slave Huan, your apprentice and your killer”
