“You do not need get involved in theMaster” Gu Shenwei held onto his sword shaft as he retreated He had st themselves

“You don’t command me If you wish to stop me, now is the time to do so” The old macheteman replied, his hand on the hilt of hisHe left Tuo Nengya with a few parting words as he turned and returned to Jade City “Next time then You better have more men with you”

When he was sure that he was alone, Gu Shenwei took out the stack of paper that he had retrieved from the Immortal’s corpse It was indeed his copy of the Death Scripture Just as he was about to tear it into pieces, he noticed that there were sos on the white spaces of the notes

It see had made his own notations on so darker and harder for hiain

As he walked down the dirty streets of the South City, Gu Shenwei felt that it was ages ago since he first went to the Pavilion He had wasted a fewhis revenge However, he bizarrely ended up with a dead ‘ihly of his oillpower, and would never have thought that he had to rely on the Peripheral Force in his body to keep hi under the influence of the Immortal’s hypnosis

As the time limit of three years draws closer, he realised that his plan of exter the entire Golden Roc Fort was impossible now He should have killed off a few ong deviation Top on his list was Shangguan Nu, the Eighth Young Master as still at the border of the desert, busy plotting the fall of the New Moon Hall

He did not find Maid Lotus in her room at the backyard of the Southwall Tavern It was not their rendezvous day, so she uan Ru’s side

As he could not get to Maid Lotus, he went into the tavern to look for theHuan, and hid his hand with the er of dooet the news froer

He cauan Ru had requested for the reins of Kun Society back fro after Slave Huan had left for Hope Alley, Shangguan Ru paid a visit to her twin brother along with six killers Shangguan Fei was prepared for it, andwith 50 or so h no one present was arer show of force

Everyone in the City thought that another uard outside the residence of the Ninth Young Master, along with about a hundred of his soldiers and guards fro happened

To everyone’s surprise, Shangguan Ru did not lose her temper She treated her brother with respect, as she would to a true power in the City She requested for the Kun Society in exchange for all the territories she held

Even though the territories were only hers in name, as they were bequeathed to her by their elder brothers, the incoenerated from them was substantial It was iven by the merchants under the protection of the Kun Society

Shangguan Fei agreed, and a deal was struck

Shangguan Ru entered the South City that very day, and spent the next few days visiting the st the Master is a good person who understands the issues of us businessested that I contribute less everyher way Of course, I agreed She is a far-sighted person and the Kun Society’s territory will definitely grow under her co Huan

This was just wishful thinking on his part In reality, the Kun Society’s territory was di Master had directed all profitable ventures towards the Horned Dragon Society, cannibalising his sister’s share of the spoils

“The Horned Dragon Society is growing stronger As businessmen, we cannot afford to not partner up with the, I have frequently received advice to switch sides…”

Gu Shenwei hurried to the stronghold of the Kun Society upon hearing this

Shangguan Ru was dictating so to two secretaries in the hall as he entered She broke out into a grin upon seeing Slave Huan It was as if he was by her side all along for these fewa ed a little since their last one from her face, and those jet black pupils of hers contained neither innocence nor curiosity They were replaced by a scrutinizing look

She had also see

After she sent the secretaries away, she spoke to him “Are you cured of your sickness now?”

“More or less,” he replied The two Peripheral Forces still remained in his body and he was not sure what condition he was in

“Can you start working again?”

“Yes”

“Are you aware of Kun Society’s present situation?”

“I’m aware of it, yes”

“How do you envision our future to be like?”

“We need to draw the snake out of its hiding place”

Shangguan Ru brightened up and broke into a s for you to return was the right decision”

Gu Shenwei understood what Shangguan Ru’s was thinking She did not forget about Master Yu’s death, and illing to present herself as weak to the public to draw Shangguan Fei to the South City

The end of the was between the tas still nowhere in sight Gu Shenwei cauan Ru Rather than allowing Shangguan Fei to blacket rid of hiuan Ru

She nodded, and it was the first time he had seen the desire to kill in her eyes
