The old master shook his head and sighed, "Obvious threats are easy to dodge, but hidden ones are hard to guard against. Look at how Jizhou has been having trouble lately; it's as if someone has it in for him."
"Really?"
Huo Jinnan retorted with a question, looking down at Gu Jizhou, "Have you made any enemies?"
"Possibly," Gu Jizhou responded in a low voice.
Standing to one side, the old master watched Huo Jinnan's expression, unable to discern or hear anything significant, and spoke out in disappointment, "Ah, isn't it just because of a woman and the conflict with Qin Shaojin that this has happened? It's not appropriate for me to step in. Anan, I've heard that you have dealings with Qin Shaojin... this matter..."
"You can't possibly believe that they would target the Huo Family just for this, do you?"
Huo Jinnan tossed the question back and then sat on the couch, lighting a cigarette and drawing a long breath, "My relationship with Qin Shaojin isn't that close."
