Three people were about to arrive Gu Shenwei still harboured some doubts, but there was little time left The three horses passed in a flash, he had no time to ponder about it Years as a killer had developed in hi no hesitation when it came time to strike

In terms of procedure, this was a perfect assassination with nothing for him to worry about

Gu Shenwei struck first He swept past one of the riders with his saber outstretched The rider’s head fell to the ground like a ripe fruit falling from its tree

The other person had not even realized what had happened before Maid Lotus struck His head flew into the air as blood froh

The sole rider was left completely shocked It was unbelievable to be ambushed so close to hoely that he was even more puzzled Even so, he did not speed up to escape or shout for help It seemed that he was not afraid He held the reins of his mount and looked around as if what had happened was merely a childish prank

This man did not behave like a killer; his actions showed that he did not even have basic jianghu experience

The doubt in Gu Shenwei’s htened and he could not taer

What happened next took no tiht just as Maid Lotus struck However, he changed his mind at the very last minute and did not strike with his saber Instead, he squatted on the horse and held his target by the neck

The horse raised its front hooves and whinnied

“Who are you?” Gu Shenwei asked softly, close to the rider’s ear

The rider was finally shook out of his daze but he was now overwheluttural sounds

Gu Shenwei tapped the back of the rider’s head with the hilt of his saber The threat seey back into the rider and he finally spoke “I, I, I am Starlet,” he said

“Who were the other two men?”

“Seven, Seventh Master and Yue’er”

Maid Lotus had carefully exaround She shook her head at Gu Shenwei, signifying that neither of them were Golden Roc killers

Gu Shenwei relaxed his ar, returning back here at night?”

“The Old Master sent a uest had arrived in the village and that he should return to the village immediately”

Gu Shenwei finally realized that he had corave error

After careful consideration, he realized that there was no direct evidence that the fat chief was harboring any evil intention It was just a deduction he made, based on what he understood about human nature This tactic was time-tested, but today it had failed

The custoht be entirely different from that of Jade City

Gu Shenwei juht about how to randchildren, but he seemed to love them all He would not be indifferent to the inexplicable death of “Seventh Master”

He raised his head and then looked at Maid Lotus They had the same idea about what to do next

Gu Shenwei hesitated for a moon King and there are 10,000 soldiers of the Great Snowmountain behind you”

He sheathed his saber and said to Starlet, “It is a , so you don’t have to be afraid”

“Right,” Starlet replied He was still dazed “Misunderstanding, it’s a mis…”

A sword struck Starlet’s left ear His body straightenedonto his horse He died without understanding why, just like his two companions

The whinny of the horse drew the attention of people of the village and a group of passers-by ca over Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus juht of three people, and snuck back to their residences in the village

“This doesn’t prove anything The people of Gulping Wind Gorge may have other plots that we don’t know about”

Maid Lotus said it as an encourageain He suspected that he had inadvertently shown a little weakness which lead to Maid Lotus sy with him He considered it as a fatal flaw for soeion

“Maybe But this is not i Fanyun will occupy this area once The passage of Wushan shouldn’t be in the hands of outsiders”

Gu Shenas speaking about his plans in advance Maid Lotus seemed to understand his intention, so she bowed respectfully towards him and withdrew from the room

This was the distance Gu Shenwei kept between the fu and status could not be replaced by anyone, but he did not want to get too close to her

He suddenly re on an opposite path They had become more andsimilar about them: They had both been hurt deeply by betrayal and then buried their inner feelings using different methods

Gu Shenwei hadto uncover plots but this was not the first tily

When he had fled from the Golden Roc Fort, he had encountered several crises At that time, he was required to make a quick decision whether to kill or not In all cases, he chose the former
