Chapter 247 - At the Same Time (2/2)

Maid Lotus offered a completely unnecessary explanation and subsequently ran off without waiting for Gu Shenwei’s response She leaped on to the roof of Firewood Yard andMaster’s forecourt to perforht

Gu Shenwei could only roughly understand eighing on her mind, but he had no time to ponder over it He took out the Wayless Book the uan Ru had sent, was still intact He carefully read through it and memorized an outline

There would probably be a chance to save hi an to palpitate He would have calmly accepted his fate if he had no choices toas there was a possibility to live on

Maid Lotus was at ease about leaving him alone on Ghost Cliff because she was certain that he would not dare to seek help from people in the castle, and furtherth to run away

After deliberating for a while over whether to begin practice or to find an escape route, Gu Shenwei decided on the for deviation truly could not be resolved any further He could only rely on himself as there was nobody to trust

While this was going on, the Supreuan Fa was filled rath and bewilderment as he observed the corpses of the three killers which had been sent to him

Slave Huan and Maid Lotus were two nanificant youths had actually been hiding in Stone Castle all this ti Jade City upside down in search of thestock at once

Shangguan Fa suspected that there remained incompetent subordinates in the castle For a simple manhunt like this, it was only on the seventh day that a clue was accidentally found He had, in recent years, distributed his power tomistake this was The people whom he entrusted his power to used their allocation of power to fight with each other instead of aug the influence of Golden Roc Fort

“This policy should end, for there’s nobody worthy of trust,” </eh the plot by Shen Liang and Lady Meng, and there was still tirettable about the fact that his weak and incapable sons had died The prophecy of “The King of the Cross” would eventually be realized anyway

He carefully examined for some time the fatal wounds on the three corpses, and even touched theer The swordcraft of the two runaway killers had surpassed his expectations, and even seeendary Dajue Book of Swordcraft

“Within the next two hours, I want to see these two people Alive”

After the Supreave his instructions, the panicky crowd of killers and counselors bowed in compliance and exited the hall They proceeded to direct orders to their subordinates as fast as they could Many of the the internal strife and thought that this was yet another competition to see who could find the two escaped killers first

This was a uan Fa’s priority was to deal with aand Lady Meng could be sorted out later on

The novelty which Luo Ningcha had brought had already faded, and the Supreance, flaht the two killers into Stone Castle, and it was at her place where he was subjected to an assassination atte’s explanation, the assassin was definitely one of the two killers

Miss Luo was just a wopin or the concern of Eighth Young Master The Supre decided to personally settle thispreferential treatment to the beauty

Meanwhile, with Gu Shenwei to her north and the Supre back and forth anxiously in the court of the Eighth Young Master She had been cursing “Ungrateful fools!” for three successive days since the escape of Slave Huan and Maid Lotus Every servant in the residence was punished for this matter, and was told to slap each other’s cheeks until they bled

When her fury finally subsided, fear took its place

There were two bad omens The first was the escape of the dowry servants she had brought in, while the second was the fact that the Supre had not visited for seven days already She had sent people to check on the situation in the Inner Residence, but they could not even get through the entrance The women who had once turned to her side would, at this delicate moment, rather be flies on the wall than precipitately offer help to the Eighth Young Mistress

She once again felt that her world was on the verge of collapse, and was extremely terrified She was terrified of death, terrified of not being anyone’s pet, terrified of being despised, and terrified of being neglected by the lowliest of persons She once had a powerful father and a set of multi-layered veils, and cherished the memory of these like a baby cherished her s would have been fine if Slave Huan is still around He would always provide an to drift before she remembered that Slave Huan was the main cause of this disaster

She forced herself to calm down, and told herself that she had to be self-reliant as there was nobody she could trust

“Slave Huan would say, “Miss Luo, you aren’t completely done for The baby in your woht ti have already died Can there be any better present or sign of your loyalty?””</echa was annoyed by her own foolishness It had taken her a full seven days to understand such a sier and fear

“That’s right, I have the Lord’s child” Luo Ningcha became relaxed at once It ithout a doubt, a son this tiood news to the Lord She would protect the child with her own life and ensure that no woman from the Inner Residence ever touch him Every meal she ate would have to be sauards protecting the court, and bar everyone except her personalthe backcourt Even a physician would have to sign a death-as-punish allowed to enter

It was her son ould be the future Suprecha was in an euphoria, so to the heavens

Shangguan Ru had been counting the days Seven days were sufficient for Slave Huan and Maid Lotus to have escaped from the boundaries of Golden Roc Fort, yet unexpectedly, they remained in the Stone Castle This was a risky plan but also a clever trick It was definitely an idea which Slave Huan cahtened her clothes and picked up her saber She was not praying for the two killers to escape safely, but for herself to have the strength to protect them

When she turned around, she saw herin the doorith a sorrowful expression which made her shudder

“Don’t you want your own life anyed heartfeltly She walked over to herthat her words would be able to convince the latter “This is sos we ’s heartache was no less severe than her daughter’s Many years of painstaking anticipation had evaporated in one day The tere supposed to be her aides and shi+elds, but instead, they became burdens and threats In the end, she had no one she could trust

Before Shangguan Ru understood her er below her ribs The figure of her radually faded into the darkness The Gods had answered her prayers in an unexpected way

Shangguan Ru collapsed into the arms of an assassin in black, who took away her saber and handed it to Lady Meng

This was the first ti held one of the Stone Castle’s standard weapons It was heavy just like her heart was, and ice cold just like her heart was as well

This was her “Tenth Young Master” Or at least, she used to be but no longer would be
