There were subtle changes in the attitude the teacher Zhang Ji displayed towards this “Outsider Student”

After the teacher-killing incident, Gu Shenwei garnered mostly suspicion and respect fro Ji, he could not help but feel a hint of disgust and watchfulness cohtfully the reaction to be expected from normal people, yet it was different at the Stone Castle

The two of theaps in their conversation The words did not flow out fro Ji like before, and Gu Shenwei could not directly speak about what he had eavesdropped After a fruitless discussion in which both were beating around the bush for half of the day and froet much information Thus, Gu could only bid his farewell

As to why the texts could have goneJi felt that this was a common occurrence “It wasn’t very important as to whether the texts were kept separately I estimate that 20 to 30 percent of the texts were lost over the passage of time because they were

However, soination of Gu Shenwei Zhang Ji himself did not know the io, Mister Guo was the steward of the Cere about the same responsibility as a chamberlain of the royal palace He was by the side of his Lordshi+p every day, recording all his words and movements This was how he started his career”

As Gu Shenwei’s father was a palace guard before at the Central Plains, he heard stories of the palace since young and knew a little of the inner workings of the palace He io His heart stirred a little and felt a little enlightened

Back at the East Castle, he found Maid Lotus and told her to gather information She came back quickly with this news, “Kun Yard used to be theMaster, and he was his Lord’s brother He had already died uesses were confirreat shock to hi his secret trip to the Whiterobe Academy, his search for the docuht but instead he would have eavesdropped about a greater conspiracy

Going through all the details again, Gu Shenwei felt that his deductions could not be too far off fro to happen next would be hoas going to handle the situation; would he watch how the events unfolded from afar or would he throw hi, this conspiracy had utterly nothing to do with him, but he did not intend to let Mister Guo have his way It would not bode well for Gu in the long run once Mister Guo regained the trust of his Lord again

Gu Shenwei passed on all the information he knew and all the deductions he made to Maid Lotus He told her, “This is a chance for you to contribute The risks won’t be s to do it, you have to act immediately We could be out of time tomorrow”

“Don’t you want to do it yourself?” She asked Of course, Maid Lotus would have wanted to grab the chance to achieve glory, and this was no sed to finish the task

“I need help Therefore it’s better for you to be a killer as well” In truth, as this task involved getting into the inner manor, Maid Lotus would be better suited for it than Gu Shenwei

Miss He bowed to him, and Gu Shenwei felt shocked This was decorum reserved for superiors, and even when he was , she did not show such respect for hi this show of loyalty He had already made it clear that he needed an ‘assistant’ and not a ‘friend’

Maid Lotus took her leave; she was definitely different frocha, and Gu Shenwei did not have to instruct her what to do

After the task was completed, Maid Lotus still told him about how it all went down

There was a fe Battalion as friends with Maid Lotus TheMaster whose as froh Lady Meng had some veiled criticishter-in-law of hers

Using her influence overto su first expressed her gratitude to Maid Lotus for dutifully taking care of Shangguan Ru on the way to the Iron Mountain Battalion in the past Even though it was a few ave Maid Lotus many precious pearls and food She even asked Maid Lotus a little about the training of a female killer out of curiosity

A handifts and told her in a soft voice not to leave first

After the ladies in the hall ain This tied froe household to that of an interrogator who looked straight into the depths of someone’s heart

Maid Lotus first swore that even though she was brought into the Fort by Eighth Young Mistress as her bridal maiden, she had never served any of the ladies frohead Kingpin at the spur of aone of his journeys After which, she told Lady Meng about soathered

This was the hard part as she could not divulge all the deductions of Slave Huan, as it would cause her to beco towards the path of Mister Guo

Mister Guo had worked secretly in the past to arrest all of the elite Dragon Year apprentices Even though the conspiracy was never openly attributed to Mister Guo, all of the brown-belt assassins in the Little Flag Battlalion hated him

Maid Lotus hated him as well, which explained why she was especially interested in the movements of Mister Guo Once she heard that Mister Guo abused his position as the chief of the Docuo and planned to use it against the Tenth Young Master, she decided to pass this secret on to Lady Meng

Lady Meng was not a gullible person, but that night Maid Lotus succeeded in convincing her Lady Meng was not totally clueless as to Mister Guo’s conspiracy, and her expression changed once Maid Lotus o”, thus confir that Gu Shenwei’s deductions were very close to actual events

Lady Meng calmed down quickly and indifferently praised Maid Lotus, instructing her not to bring this ot the help to send her off froot back to the East Castle, she found Slave Huan and described everything to him Both felt that tomorrow’s adulthood initiation cere
