He was covered with sweat. He was totally relieved, after getting overly nervous.
He passed the most intensive moment, so after that, he would basically be safe. He just could not imagine what consequences he would have to face, if something terrible happened. He did not even think that Gu Chaoyan would keep her promise.
Seeing him being so worried, Sword One added. "What are you so scared of? Elder Miss promised you two months, and she will make sure that nothing happens to you during this period."
"You don't understand what the Heir could do!" Xie Yan started before he concealed what he was about to say. He did not want to mention those things that made him feel unhappy.
Sword One fell silent.
Xie Yan did have terrible wounds all over him.
Even they, the guards, would find those wounds horrible, let alone a strategist like Xie Yan who did not practice any martial arts.
So how he behaved was totally understandable.
